I've gotten:

Back to Stone GBA (Complete) I see that it's not on the site
Star Wars Jedi Power Battles GBA (Complete with JPB/Tetris Worlds 2 sided poster) Also not on the site
Breath of Fire 3 PSP (Complete)
Sneak King Xbox/Xbox 360 (Complete)

I also got a new Printer Scanner and it seems to scan really well.
It will scan up to 9600 dpi but for this I will only do 600 dpi

Got a few this month

Wii

Samba de Amigo ($1)
Kirby's Epic Yarn (10)

PS3

The Walking Dead (Gift from GF)
Persona 4 Arena (Gift to myself since it was 30 and included the soundtrack)
Mugen Souls (game fly purchase since it was on sale for 20 some)

XBox 360

UDraw (game came with the tablet) it was on sale at Best buy for only 10 bucks so I figured it'd be a neat thing to have to kill some time

XBLA (13 days of xmas deals)

Jet Set Radio
Dust an Elysian Tale

Also got the Asura's Wrath DLC since I enjoyed the game and hated how it wasn't the "complete" ending

Picked up a few good items recently:

Thunder Force III (Genesis) - complete in box with manual for $28.  Sure, the price was a bit steep, but TFIII is my all time favorite console shooter, and it's nice to finally have it in my collection.

Game Genie (Genesis) with code book for $7.

Sonic 3 for $3.  Another game long missing from my collection.  The cart label shows some wear, but at least I can now display Sonics 1-3 and Sonic & Knuckles on my shelf with TCP custom cases.

Air Buster (Genesis) for $4.  So many good shooters for the Genesis.  I missed this one back in the day, but it's a good pickup now.  No case, but there's a nice scan here.

I passed on an original NES for $20 at Goodwill.  It had everything except a power cord so I had no way to test it in the store.  All sales final on electronics at Goodwill.  I recently bought and had to return three different NES's at Game Exchange because none worked right, so looking back I'd be pretty upset if I dropped $20 (plus whatever it would cost for a new power cord) only to find out the NES was defective.  I ended up buying a top loader for $65.

  • I have no label. Maybe I'm not a gamer at all?

You could've gotten an original front-loader for about the same price, refurbished and all. I bought my Super NES and N64 from this website; they also sell NES consoles, but are out of stock at the moment.

Today I picked up the final issue of Nintendo Power, not going to unwrap it...just going to look at it...collections...haha. I also grabbed a Dell CRT pro scan monitor...it seems to be based on a sony trinitron TV set (it says trinitron on the front), and its just great running RGB to my CGA to VGA conterter, to this monitor, even at the lowest resolution (640x480) its just better than an LCD
My LPs Channel. Currently playing Legend of Zelda: Windwaker HD, Metal Gear Solid 2, and Resident Evil 2.

IIRC, all you're missing out on in terms of readable content is a list of NP's favorite games, which you can find on the internet anyway. People are getting it for the cover and/or sentimental value. Personally, if I see it, I'll most likely get it. Not a fan of shrinkwrap though.
