Another local craigslist find.

Halo special edition Xbox with wires
4 controllers (one wireless but I believe that it's missing the wireless receiver?)

8 games but mostly sports except Halo, Halo 2 and Call of Duty 2

Needs to be cleaned, especially the controllers but everything worked perfect.

All this for just $25 bucks and a 5 minute drive to the next town over :)

Awesome find!

Lol yeah I know...after I saw the ad and it had "rare" in the title I started to think the price was mislabeled.  Especially after seeing them on ebay sell just the system for 50+.  But the lady just seemed like she wanted to get rid of it quick simce it was taking up space.

But now I can play my Gunvalkyrie...the only xbox game I bought is one of the few games that isnt compatible with the 360 :/

THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME I NEED TO GET MY ASS DOWN TO THE SHOP AND PICK UP MY COPY. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN TELL BUT I AM VERY EXCITED.

Edit: Got mine as well! I was surprised at the height of the case, and the fact that the art book IS the game case. That's interesting. If I had to guess why, maybe it would be to discourage those people who buy Limited Editions only to sell all of the tchotchkes and essentially get a "free game" after the fact (not saying it's not a valid strategy, but considering how certain Japanese developers seem to take certain things personally, I wouldn't be surprised). But as a Kingdom Hearts fan, I really like it. My only regret is that it looks hardcore out-of-place next to all my other PS3 games due to the height.

Something new for a change. I managed to get quite a few original boxes for my loose games and printed out a few custom ones while I was at it (you can probably point them out). Plus some more looses (Mega Man 1 & Shatterhand 15 € a piece), a rare copy of Gunstar Heroes, smallbox games and almost a mint-condition copy of Link to the past, just missing a manual.

That's a very nice haul; many of those games are in my personal collection as well (though certainly not in-box, sadly). I'm a bit jelly.

I'm also surprised to see that TMNT2 for NES featured silvery sidebars on the front graphic for PAL release. I mean, I knew it was a Konami release (despite the poor attempt at rebranding as "Ultra Games" to get around Nintendo mandates), but I've never seen a copy that looked so much like a Castlevania game on the outside. Interesting.

been a while since i did one of these. last pics i have are from february and it's been a slow year, so let's skip ahead to july:

game, the british retailer that went bankrupt last year, still exist under new owners in sweden and they've just started carrying retro stuff. kinda pricey, but for pal-b releases with japanese illustrations (just look at kung fu and kid icarus) it's nice to be able to get a closer look at them before you order. i guess they didn't go with these sweet kitchy pics on us & uk carts because someone complained that it wasn't representative of the actual gameplay or something like that. also devil summoner 1&2 were reprinted, which was nice of atlus since the first one was reaching rule of rose levels of expensive. breath of fire 3&4 also from game, and i always liked the idea of the rosen queen co. edition of sakura wars with the bonus official undub disc.

august:

everyone loves yoshi's island but i missed out on the snes library back when. gonna play this and mario world sometime. new super luigi u is a weird retail release i had to get and wonderful 101 is up once i'm done with rome ii.

september (wip):

idgaf about paper boxes but dynasty warriors advance was cheap and factory sealed (don't want to keep anything sealed on the shelf tho, that just sets a REALLY bad precedent) and i just tried the rom out and liked it. operation winback is supposed to have been an inspiration source for resident evil 4's mechanics, and someone here mentioned megaman x command mission the other day so i went and picked up the last copy in stock from a net retailer for about $15. NTSC-U/C ver is supposed to have progressive scan tho but i'll live with this.

Well, last week was my 21st birthday... I got quite a few games as gifts. I also got piles of gift cards for GameStop and Half-Price Books, and both were having sales right after my birthday - 20% off everything at HPB, and a 3 for 10$ deal at GS. The end result of this is that I have obtained a quite frankly almost embarassing amount of stuff last week.

Myst 3 is still sealed!

Sorry for the glare on the DS games. They are Assassin's Creed: Altair's chronicles and AC2: Discovery, Wario Master of Disguise, Scurge: Hive, Modern Warfare Mobilized and FF Crystal Chronicles Ring of Fates.




Finally I have a PS3 - better late than never!





That's all - I'm pretty surprised by how much stuff I got. This is probably going to be one of the last pickups for a while though, since well - 21 equals kicked out any day now. The apartment hunt begins soon!
