Epic Mickey ($30) and Kingdom Hearts ($15) I paid a total of $8 out of pocket.  It was part of best buys black friday deals and after a gift card and reward certificates I took it down to the 8 bucks.  Kingdom Hearts though I have to see if I can exchange it in store since I bought it online and when I received it there was a huge cut on the back that cut through the shrink wrap, plastic cover holder thingy and the artwork itself.

Dead Island was another black friday deal at Best Buy and I only paid $9

Asura's Wrath cost me only $9.  I got it from gamefly which it was originally about $14 but used their $5 certificate that they give me every couple months.

I just ordered Forza Horizon for $15 from the Microsoft store.

I'm a huge fan of the Forza sims, but after playing the Horizon demo I wasn't too crazy about the open world style.  Still, it's well worth 1/4 of the usual retail price to give it some playing time.

I went to Goodwill today and I picked up:
(Nes) Rush 'n Attack, Tetris (Label Torn), Ikari Warriors (Top label pealed) $2 each
(SNES) Lion King $3
SNES W/ Power Brick (Dirty, Chipped corners, not yellow) $15

I have not tested everything yet, but the system powers on. The power chord was mixed in a huge ball of chords and took a while to get out.

There was this weird Sonic crossed with Knuckles plush, but it was $3 and dirty so I did not buy it.

I think I need to go into rehab.... I just spent 400$ on a video game ....

Little Samson

Especially considering how many times I passed this up when I thought 150$ for it was expensive

I also got Panic Restaurant, but least that was sub 100, happy about that

On the bright side, 1 more nes game to go (not complete set but what I am after) - Zombie Nation

add this with my black friday spending and the TONS of new release collectors editions etc I bought in OCT/NOV

I can't get the SNES I just bought to work, it turns on but wont load carts or output any video. Its fairly clean on the inside, But I cant figure it out, Any Ideas.

I also notated some differences between my other SNES, Its heaver, There is a hand that locks in to the notch on the front of the cart when the power switch is up, and I think it has a different sound chip that is removable, and the stickers on the bottom are different. I think it is a earlier version. Is there any performance differences between the 2?

Without knowing exactly which two you have, it's hard to tell if one or the other performs noticeably better or not.  The one you just grabbed, the eject button has a painted "eject" or molded in the plastic?  

The oldest systems (with the separate sound board) have the poorest composite output and the ones that can be component modded don't give a huge advantage over an S-vid restored model 2 (SNS-101/SNES mini).  The good news is that it's pretty much guaranteed that it'll work with the Game Genie ;D

$400 is actually cheap for Samson now.

How did you get Panic Restaurant so cheap?  That's another one I'm after.
