I wanted to have a picture of a MEGA DRIVE game today to share, but Edward McKay's Used Books and More didn't have any. They have Super Famicom and Famicom, and Japanese Saturn games, and other Japanese disc games...but no Mega Drive games. sigh. It's the only store on this side of Raleigh with any cartridge games. Do y'all go to stores or just flea markets?

Xbox and PS2 I usually get at Game Crazy, unless I see a killer deal on Craigslist. I haven't really looked at the swap meet or garage sale scene too much, but it might be worth checkin out. I'm always checking Goodwills when I'm out and I see one. I almost never find anything so I don't know why I even bother.
The playstation and xbox logo were from redbubble.com. It took me forever to find the xbox sticker in their massive archive; I literally searched for almost 30 minutes, but that's also due to the fact that they have so many other awesome designs that kept distracting me. Got the Nintendo and Atari stickers on ebay. I got the idea for stickers on the controller bins from Akumaizer. His setup is awesome.

Where do you find these "swap meet"s?

I think swap meet is another word for flea market. There's at least 2 that happen most weekends in my area. I get around the area a lot with my job, but I imagine the best way to find one local to you would be to search online. It's how I find everything nowadays.

I've yet to make a find at a flea market. Pawn shops and yard sales for me. Sometimes it will be weeks or months before making a find, and other times I have so many carts flowing in that I don't know what to do with them.

Picked up Game & Wario and the Limited Edition release of Project X Zone. New retail stuff isn't as exciting as retro finds.
Oddly, the box for PXZ's LE release is sideways: Taller than it is wide. You've got to turn the case 90 degrees to put it in.

Just picked up Project X Zone LE myself yesterday. Almost grabbed Games & Wario too but decided to hold out a little bit.

Wish they would sell the Project X Zone LE in Europe... Stingy Namco
Also I bought a 3DS XL today. I picked up Zelda and Lugi's Mansion 2 with it. Any other good suggestions for this thing?
