December 2015 stuff: X-mas countdown is nearing the end.

Got me a Retron 5 and an Elgato Game Capture HD60 Pro today.
Yes, I know the Retron is an emulation box, but it gives me decent upscaling and HDMI output for my retro games. I prefer original retro hardware, but can't afford all the hardware needed to be able to capture gameplay and such from them, so I'll keep them hooked up to my older TV and use the Retron 5 for my streaming and such. :)
Now I have a spare Avermedia Live Gamer HD C985 that is unused.

My Elgato Game Capture HD (non 60) records everything I toss at it, It takes the yellow video jack in the red component jack, and audio in audio. You will also need some $1 AV splinters, there is no Composite pass through.
Here is my SNES on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIWabR_q8zs
It works great with NES through PS4
Looking it up, the HD60 does not do component, so unless you want to return both and use the 30FPS one, I guess this info is useless :-[

I'm actually quite happy with the Retron 5. Works very well, even with the licensing issues that surround some of it's software. :P
The capture card gave me some hassles at first, but once I got everything running, it was smooth sailing. So far, everything that gave me issues on my Avermedia Live Gamer HD C985 work flawlessly on the Elgato Gaming HD60 Pro. :)
So now I have a spare capture card not in use! :)

Something tells me you want to sell that extra capture card. ;)
Saddly I have no use for it.

So most of this was in November but since I haven't really played anything until today I'll count it as a december pickup lol
So mid November I picked up the Uncharted Bundle PS4 and waited patiently for black friday...on black friday I picked up these...
PS4
Killzone ($8 at gamestop...normal price with the rewards pro discount)
Infamous Second Son (Gamestops Buy 2 Get 1 Free)
The Order 1886 (Gamestops Buy 2 Get 1 Free)
Final Fantasy X ($15 at Walmart)
Dishonored ($12 and change from Best Buy's Black Fri sale + Gamers club unlocked)
Until Dawn ($16 and change from BB's Black Fri sale and GCU)
XBox One
Gears and Diablo 3 were also 16 and change thanks to BB + GCU
Back to the Future (Free from Gamestops Buy 2 get 1 Free sale)
Alien Isolation (clearance sale at $17 but GCU still applied and got it to $14 and change)
And if that wasn't enough to hold me over,
Xenoblade Chronicles X Special Edition - got 2 copies...1 from Best buy and 1 from Gamestop. Preordered twice just in case one fell through and thankfully I did...apparently Best Buy still likes to mail items like that in bubble envelopes...so the BB one has a bit of damage on the corners. Gamestop one was flawless. When I went to pick it up the employee had actually just finished removing it from the shipment box.
Also got the normal edition since I had that preordered long before the SE.
Rodea the Sky Soldier - got both CE's. 1 Wii U and 1 3ds. I originally intended to keep them both sealed for the time being, but given the fact that packaging didn't have any identifying marks as to what version it was I stopped caring and just opened both lol
Also, if anyone is interested in the Uncharted trilogy for PS4 (digital code), feel free to PM me, I already played them all on the ps3 so it'd be a waste for me to redeem the code.
