These arrived in the mail today:


All are complete and in excellent condition. Turok 3 is sealed so I will send that with some other stuff I have for TheN64Guy


Amazon had Halo 4 for $40 and I'm not having much fun with the new Call of Duty so I'll see if I enjoy this more.

Max Payne 3 SE: $20



Saw this on CAG that gamestop had them for 20, had mine for a while now but still a good deal

Exactly where I got the info on them being on sale. I guess I got lucky considering some people on CAG got some that were partially gutted, mine was still sealed on the outside. Though normally I don't go for the LEs with statues and stuff because most of it is crappy quality, but for $20 why not.

There was an ad in my local classifieds for 5 gamecube games for $20. I jumped all over it.



When I got there to pick them up I asked the guy if he had anything else for sale.

He was like "oh yea! I got a N64 (nothing special so i didnt grab it) And these"





Paid $5 a piece for the controllers. They appear to be factory sealed, they have the "H" seam, but since these are my first factory sealed thing if come across I am  not sure if its just a reseal.

Some rarer pickups (demo/not for resale games). Not really sure if anyone collects this type of stuff but neat to own things you can't otherwise buy from a retail store. All of these are the games placed in store demos and have certain restrictions. The Zelda version is the same one shown at E3 prior to launch.

You might need to find a driver or some software to use it.

You may also want to cover up some of those phone numbers.  :(

So I walked into my local Goodwill looking for a sweater, and saw some NES games lined up, 4 dollars each.

Then I noticed it wasn't just the usual dreck.

Then I checked a price.

I left with these:

I actually had no idea it was so rare. I was checking prices on my phone and when I saw what it normally goes for I had to do a triple-take.

Nothing like walking out of a store with a pile of games and paying less for all of them than the value of a single one...

I picked up a first-model PSX while I was there too, never seen one before. The one with the digital audio out? I saw things saying they're sought after by certain people and it was only ten bucks, but not sure what I'm gonna do with it.

some good stuff, really any NES game these days for 4$ is decent and of course with dragon warrior 3 and mega man 3 it turned out nicely

anyone know a good way to stick Power Blade's label back onto the cart there? It's completely intact, it just got unstuck.

I was looking into these at one point. I'm pretty sure there's unofficial drivers floating around.

Of course, if you just want to transfer the saves to your PC and vice-versa, there's always the long way of:
Memory card -> PS3 -> USB Drive -> PC
and
PC -> USB Drive -> PS3 -> Memory Card
