August 2015 - What summer is finally perhaps coming??? Let's get stuff!
Megatron:
Pickup at a local thrift - everything for $20. Games were $1 each and the genesis (no cables or controllers) was $5. Haven't had a chance to test the Genesis yet, but I'm not terribly worried.
Highlights include a CIB Gozdilla Destroy All Monsters Melee for Xbox, and a Rogue Galaxy Disc inside of a Gran Turismo case - a good reason why you should LOOK in cases while shopping, even if you aren't interested in the game portrayed on the case.

That is how I got my Dragon Force for Saturn, it was in a MGS case instead of Disc 1. :P

One time, I found an extra disc inside of the manual of an otherwise CIB game. It wasn't a big name game, but just another reason to look closer at the thrift stores.
Megatron:
Of course, this can also go the other way too - nothing worse than seeing a case for a rare game, or just one you really want, only to find the wrong game or nothing at all inside.
I once saw Tron Bonne...I nearly peed myself...then I realized it was a self printed jewel case insert (probably from here) and Mega Man Legends inside. Yes, finding MML is a great Thrift find...but when you think you see Tronne Bonne, very little will console that loss.

I thought my days of nice pick ups were done... until I found this today: A CIB Sunset Riders + CIB Killer Instinct, for only $50 ;D
