July 2015 - Stuff bought by those who survived Juhannus

[sheep2001]

And why no ability to connect an actual vita for those games that need touch controls?

I had high hopes for it, and bought it on launch.  It's had less than an hour of power to it.  

But for 40 with a controller and 8 gig card, I'd probably buy another! Lol

I get access to Netflix and Vita stuff....

They added netflix support to it?

[wiggy]

It's total crap.  But you got a controller for a good price and a beefy coaster

I've got one too.  I really WANT to like it.  I mean it's form factor is super small, and I get access to Netflix and Vita stuff, but why in the world did they use the Vita's touch screen interface rather than the PS4's non touch fluid interface??

Same here.  Bought one for the business for R&D purposes, then eventually took it home after we were done with it.  The GUI is about the ugliest thing I've seen in the last 5 years.  It's painful to look at and sloppy to navigate at best.  Bummer, cause it's a cool idea. 

I just wish Nintendo would make a 3DS TV of sorts.  Seems like a no-brainer, but i guess they aren't hurtin' any, so why bother.

My pickups for this month so far...



All complete in box copies with their hangtabs intact

By the way anybody know if Earthworm Jim 2 came in a plastic clamshell, can't seem to find one anywhere

I'm well aware that I didn't buy a gem, but I got my monies worth out of the controller and memory card.

Ok guys, so as no-one wants to make an offer (perhaps because you want me to talk specific expectations or you guys just dont want it?)......I will say what I would like for it and then we can go from there.

Ive found 4 examples of a comparable CIB copy sold on Ebay.com in the last few months and they sold for:

1 - $268 (Auction)
2 - $305 (BIN)
3 - $261 (Auction
4 - $319 (BIN)

Hence, I would LIKE..........$280 for it..........so perhaps we can start from there.

Please bare in mind, I did not buy this very cheaply.......the guy knew what he had and as I said before it took a me a long time to get it to a price I was willing/able to pay so it would make it worth all my time and effort profit wise.

Let me know what you guys think, even if it is to say "Thats RIDICULOUS!!!". 

I'd suggest going to ebay with it. I think that's the only place people put that kind of money on the table without thinking twice. Prepare for some annoying people though.

Would you be up for a swap as well?

I got some nice stuff for trade maybe...

I am pretty jealous of your Shining Force....

That said, Earthworm Jim 2 came in a cardboard case, like X-Men 2, Toy Story or The Tick.  To the best of my knowledge, and years of searching, there has never been an official clamshell case version.  Even though some other games that originally had a cardboard case were eventually given a clamshell.
Fun note, searching for EWJ 2 case is what led me to the cover project in the first place.

I don't play many RPG's but the Shining Force series was my favorite.  So glad to finally own it
Just gotta get part II now...

And thanks, that's the conclusion I came to as well, but I wasn't 100% on it.  I've been trying to get my clamshell games with the original artwork inserts, and I've been printing out covers for my cardboard box only games.  Only game I don't have an official insert for is Sol Deace, had to print one out for it.

Picked up a copy of Night Stalker for the Intellivision CIB.

[RealPlumpBox]

Had a 50% off coupon for Half Price Books.  Went there hoping to get one of the more expensive games they usually have but man they got cleaned out!  I should have expected that.  So I picked up The Zelda Premium guide with the poster and the Gears of War Judgment Journal instead.  The coupon was half off the most expensive item.  The Zelda guide was $7.50 and the GoW book was $15.00.  So essentially I got the Zelda guide for free.  OH and the GoW book was new, Zelda one used.




Also I went to the Seattle Brew Fest with a buddy of mine.  Was a good day for it.  Right at the Space Needle great weather had tons of beer.  Got pretty drunk.  Good times! Lol.

Wii U 32gb cib $140

Nice.  Is that used?  I really want to get one, but I would like it to be new.  I just really don't want to spend $300 right now, and I don't see a price drop in the near future.  Maybe Christmas time.  If I found a used one for that kind of deal though, I might jump on it.

Yes, it's used and the console and gamepad frame have has some light scuffs, but the gamepad screen is clean and unscratched. It's a neat system and I recommend it. It's cool being able to still play on the gamepad if someone else wants to use the tv.

Edit: looked more closely at the gamepad and I can't find a scuff anywhere on it, though the guy I bought it from said the frame had them. The screen is pretty much flawless too so I'm pretty happy. The piano black console has a few light scratches, but that's normal because they show everything anyway.

My son's cat claimed the box as his new hangout area lmao
