I usually take pics, but Im lazy today. I may add a picture at a later date.

A LOT of pictures. I apologize in advance :P ! Here are all my purchases for Dec. thus far + all of November(since DP has been down for a good amount of time, I haven't had the time to post pics).

First of all. The big system launches:





Onto the rest of the goods:

[MarkMan]

Here are some of the Wii games I picked up. I made a custom case for Wii Sports with an insert someone made off CAG forums.






The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Master Replica Master Sword + Hylian Shield and CD Sampler.

[Widar]

Found a Super Mario Family on ebay for 19.99 Euro... Again.
Cool pirate multi with all Mario games including SMB2J and some hacks.

[MarkMan]

Since I ended up getting both a PLAYSTATION 3 and a Wii over the weekend, I thought I might as well upgrade my internet connection. I had an old 1998 cable modem that wasn't cutting it anymore. It is now replaced with this Linksys one. $69.99.


Also since Wii and PS3 supported WiFi out the box, I had to take advantage of it. $49.99


My newest BRD movie, only $14.99 at Fry's.


Ahh yes. I've been waiting for this one. $9.99. Victorious Boxers 2: Fighting Spirit. Based on the Japanese Ippo All-Stars game.

[MarkMan]

I've been meaning to get Phoenix Wright for a looong time now... but what sold me today was the fact that Fry's had the sequel for $39.99... so I was like hell, might as well. $29.99 for Phoenix Wright btw.


Finally, issue #5. It took forever between last issue and this.


Decided to finally purchase this. I've been meaning to since last month.


Was tempted to get the $70 Superman deluxe collector's edition tin I saw at Target. 14 discs featuring every Superman movie(including Superman Returns) + a bunch of bonuses. But opted to get it later on down the road and pick up the Blu Ray version instead.

[MarkMan]

I'm a big fan of Jackie Chan. So this was an easy purchase for me. His latest movie, Rob-B-Hood.


Friday Collection! DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!


TMNT for the sake of my youth. Also my daughter has been askin for it.


And a GCN controller extension cable for my brother.

[MarkMan]

I couldn't resist. Love the hat.

And for the most notable recent pick up...









1080P Ready. Sony 46 inch Bravia XBR2 LCD TV.

Again sorry for all the pics. I already took them in advance so I didn't feel like taking a group shot :P

[Nesmaster]

I picked up a complete in box superscope for $5. Very nice box too

[Rogmeister]

I haven't bought m any games this year but I started picking up a couple recently. I was ordering some through Amazon.com and I found I could get a copy of Jak 3 for only about $10. Yes, it's an older game but I usually only find such games marked down to about $20 or so. I also ordered the 3rd Rachet & Clank game for about $15.

[cyberfluxor]

Uggg, I got a lot of things in the past few weeks and didn't post about them. Yesterday however I picked up Seaman for the Dreamcast with microphone for $12. I've waited too long not to get it.

I bought a PS2 three weeks ago and picked up:
Bombastic ($5) complete and great condition
Space Channel 5 ($9) new
Grand Theft Auto 3 ($4) complete with map goodies
Maximo ($3) complete and great condition

.. And a few other games I can't remember, but I'm already up to 12 games and it is soon going to rival my Gamecube collection that's taken nearly 3 years to get to its point. I need to show my GC some loving and buy it some games in the following weeks. As for GTA3, I never really played the game, always watched others and my dad wanted it ever since he tried it a few years ago on the PC (friend showed it to him). So, once I got it my older brother hogged the thing and went to town playing it every second he was awake and at home.

About 2 days ago, I finally got myself an N64, I figured I would find one cheap enough if I held out for it.

Price?
FREE, got it off of FreeCycle. The whole deal was, the system, power cord, av cables, a controller, transfer pack, and Midway's Arcade Greatest Hits volume 1. The only bad thing is I have to replace the controller, the Analog stick moves by its own free will.

So yet another system to add to the collection.

Also, w00t, the forum is back in action!!

[MrRoboto19XX]

Yesterday I headed down to my local goodwill to see if they had anything good. I saw a shoebox full of SNES games and asked how much per game. The lady told me they were $1 a piece so I just bought the whole box. When I got home I was pretty happy with what I found.

Bassin's Black Bass
Super Mario World
Nolan Ryan's Baseball
Mega Man X
Ken Griffey Jr Presents Major League Baseball
Taz-Mania
Bubsy
The Super Aquatic Games - Starring the Aquabats
Mario Paint
Kirby's Dream Course
Zelda: A Link to the Past

and possibly my rarest snes game currently (An R5, but still...)

Clayfighter Tournament Edition.

Pretty good for $12

Hmm, not a December Deal, but I got it when the board was down.

[Jimmy Yakapucci]

I haven't found much lately, just some purchases from other collectors. I did, however pick up a few clearance games from TRU and on Black Friday, I picked up Capcom Classics Vol 2 for the PS2 at my local Target for $9.87.
