Got Crazy Taxi for PS2 brand new from Toys 'R Us for $29.95 AUS. I'm on a roll - that's two brand new games in a row (got Conker's BFD new last week).
Can I make it three? (dreamcaster highly doubts it...)

Today was tax free day at the my local second hand store, which I think it should always be like that because it's second hand stuff. (15% off) So I picked up the following.(All prices canadian)
RBI Baseball 1 -$3
RBI Baseball 2-$3
Super Dodgeball-$3
Ice Hockey-$3
Mario Paint -$7.50
I was waiting for a day like this to get some of the common NES games I didn't feel like paying the extra 45 cents per game.

Got Theme Hospital (PSX) for $6 from a pawn shop today. Only played around with it for a little bit, but it looks like a real fun game so far.
Also got a SD Gundam Dimension War manual for Virtual Boy in the mail as part of a trade. Now I just need the box to make my copy complete (anybody have one for sale/trade?).
Found a small privately owned gamestore I'd never seen before. Stopped in, and was amazed to find that they have games from 2600 to current. Picked up:
Saturn TurboKey (1M/4M Ram cart) - I would have preferred an official one, but I'm tired of waiting to play metal slug - $25
Illusion of Gaia(SNES) - $8 - loose
Kid Klown in Crazy Chase(SNES) - $4 - loose
Took advantage of gamestops 3 for 2 used sale again and picked up:
Maken X(DC) - $6.99 - complete
Gunstar Heroes(GEN) - $5.99 - missing damn instructions(...if anyone has a spare set, please pm me)
and got for free S-Video Monster Cables for my PS2!
Of course, I used my 10% off card on top of this. Including Tax, I got the whole lot for about $10.
Haven for PS2 (used, but mint shape) $10
Looking to sell a videogame magazine collection of 200(+) magazines, 60 cents each, send me a PM if you're interested!
I got a atari controller the good one, a set of paddels for $2
I got a 78/8 track/radio for $5.
My happen with my weekend
New GameCube controller at Target for $10. Now, all I need is a friend!
Currently catching up on PSN, WiiWare, Wii U E-Shop and Xbox Live Arcade exclusives I missed.
Someone already sold their GC Ikaruga back to Gamestop, so with my discount card, I picked up a basically brand new Ikaruga (for the GameCube I'll be getting from the wife for my birthday...woohoo!)for only $31.49.
Also found a used copy of the new (and crappy) PSX Dragonball Z game for $12.99 and a PSX vertical shooter called Mobile Suit Light (I think) that has 3 babes with rifles for cover art (can't tell what it has to do with the game, but they're kinda cute) for $9.99.

I got a Etch A Sketch Animator 2000 with 2 games, Overdrive and Putt Nuts anyone know anything about this thing? I had the small handheld version when i was younger, but never saw this one with carts, and a stylis to draw with.
According to the Gamestops in my area, giving both the sale and the 10% discount is a terminable offense for any employee.Originally Posted by WiseSalesman
Odd. This is the second time I'd done it at that particular location (I was wrong before, it's a funcoland). The first time I did it, it was the general manager who rang me up, and, like I said, he also gave me the discount. Maybe it's just different at your store than it is here.
@goodwill hunter:
Do you mean "Mobile Light Force"? If so, I think there was a thread a while back saying that that is actually some high profile Japanese shooter, ported by a crappy company to the US. Apparently, they completely removed the story of the game, and added the shitty cover art that you describe.
I finally found Super Adventure Island 2 for my snes.I've always wanted this game so badly. Also went looking for TG-16 games and accesseries and found absoulotly nothing at all. >
I picked up lots of games in Rochester NY

You are correct sir....the babes on the cover must have distracted me from the word order in the title....a pretty decent shooter, but I've been spending most of my time on Ikaruga...babes or no.

i actually made a pretty good find today in the wild. one pawn shop here has TONS of sports games and nothing else, all are marked $5 each. i went in today and they had a bunch of different snes games: i noticed about 5 final fights and some dk's and a bunch of other non-sports games. i found 2 that i didn't have that were worth the $5 each to me - secret of mana, and act raiser 2. when i went to pay for them, the guy said $5 for both! not too shabby
