Some pretty good craigslist pickups today...$100 total from two different sellers



Turbografx-16 with 2 controllers and a turbotap, with Keith COurage Game - $80



Castlevania Legacy of Darkness - $20

I've been looking for both of these items for a while, so I was thrilled to get such good deals.  Next big purchase...Turbo Everdrive!

Nice score.  It's got the back cover too which often seems to go missing for some reason.  But I would try to replace that with a Turbo Booster for better video quality (or one of the many video out mods).
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

Just ordered today's Limited Run game. I got the PS Vita OST bundle, which is what I was looking for. Also tried to get the PS4 one, but was sold out buy the time I check out the Vita stuff.

1x Limited Run #3: Saturday Morning RPG (PS Vita) Soundtrack Bundle for $39.99 each

Anybody else got lucky?

Fuck, fuck, fuckity fuck fuck.  I've had the page open for the last week to remind me - and remembered this morning.  Then promptly forgot this evening (was 6pm my time) -  will have to try 2nd round at midnight, but I'm guessing all the soundtracks are long gone.  

Edit' and already on eBay for 4 times the price.  Tossers!

Edit2;  got the ps4 and vita versions - but soundtracks all gone.  If anyone wants to rip the mps3s when they get it, would be most appreciated.

Since this seems to be the week of TurboGrafx-16 and N64 pickups, here's mine:

Found the Super Smash Bros. at Savers for $15.  Paid $160 for the TG-16 lot on Ebay.  Was being sold as-is.  The Bomberman 93 card is one of the rarer games for the system, and with all that's included I figured there's at least $200 worth of stuff even if the console doesn't work.  Fortunately it works, but the RF port is very finicky. After some fiddling with my Master System RF unit, I was able to make it work a few times, but not consistently.

I'm planning to get a Turbo Booster (or one of the aftermarket alternatives) for AV output, and probably an Everdrive.

That's a typical problem with the TG16. It's easily fixed and/or modded for composite out if you'd like :)

kinda a mixed bag.  :P
ya know that feeling you get when you do well, and nothing can piss on that parade, well i only have my self to blame.
half wasted, walking home (with a spring in my step) a tall redheaded copper woman pulls me over, and i wasn't about to weather her BS.
she spiels, i respond:
look sweetheart, i can't take you seriously when your tits are squashed into your flak vest, sheer unprofessional if you ask me...blah, blah...booze driven rant.
i saw a look of a slapped arse on her face, like she never been told 'NO' before.
well, in a blink of an eye, i was eating a car bonnet, the bitch lunged and twisted my arm up my back and pinned me yelling:
you don't know when to keep your trap shut do you?! (no i don't, didn't tell her that.)  ;D\
...
still didn't kill my buzz, and all she wanted was directions, new on the job.  ??? (i should've wrapped a 4' by 4' around her skull for trying to stop my fun,)
...
scored a nice chunk today:
1, tenchu return from darkness [xbx]
2  blade 2 [xbx]
3, james pond 2 codename robocod [ps2] (have the  ;D amiga  ;D and psx relz too. in the words of bazfan: no penguin biscuits, no robocod, end of!)
4, bakugan battle brawlers [wii] (have a USA copy too, haven't played it yet.)
5, leisure suite larry magna cum laude [ps] (also in my xbx stack.)
6, halo 3 [360] already have the original relz, this thing is a metal case, thick with an extras disk, and a related art book.)
7, a realm reborn [ps3] (man! fucking balls! online only game, like FF11 on the ps2.)
8, two official ps2 mc's (8m) translucent blue. works with fmcb no sweat.
yep, apart from one item, made out like a dingo in a maternity ward, and no big-tits, tall legs is gonna knock me off my stride... ;D

What the fuck is wrong with you?  You're drunk, get shitty about it when there wasn't even a reason to, then you go on to say that you should have simply assaulted her in the first place and been done with it?!

Why not rape her too and then go kill some babies?

The fuck is wrong with people?!

 ::) whoa!
i drew the line at the event.
i'll spell it out:
1, i was walking home with my haul minding own bees wax.
2, a police woman pulls me, not friendly, nor was i.
3, she temporarily restrains me for my verbage.
4, i don't recall any right of a copper to throw me to a car bonnet just because i wouldn't give her time of day.
5, YEAH, i am fucked up, in regret that i don't cave to my instincts, i was under threat afaiwc, gender means didly... >:( (real folks don't behave like demanding teenagers armed with a stun gun and a tonfa. twice a week a new face like to 'chat' with me, tiring...)
...
yeah, still a good score.  ;D

Done well this month, as well as the Disney Infinity 3.0 and Skylanders I got at the beginning of the month I picked up the following:

PS4

Star Wars Battlefield for £30 from SimplyGames.com . A whole tenner cheaper than anywhere else in the UK and thanks to them being part of EasyFunding raised £0.32 towards the charity of my choice.

PS3

Skylanders Swap Force Starter Pack for £2 via a local Facebook auction page
Skylanders Swap Force Sheep Wreck Island Adventrue Pack £1 from Smyths Toy store
Skylanders Swap Force Star Strike figure £1 from Smyths Toy store
Skylanders Swap Force Rip Tide figure £1 from Smyths Toy Store
Skylanders Swap Force Rip Tide figure £1 from Smyths Toy store

Given how much both my son and me seem to love the Skylanders games and Disney Infinity it looks like this will be our little collecting project. Lego's version is just too expensive at the moment.

^^ wicked game.  :P
...
not so much a focused game purchase, but a case one.
CEX in my area does fantastic deals on football (soccer) and general sports titles.
managed to score three copied of fifa 2012 for a single gbp, and the same cost for another three fifa 2003 games on the xbox.
kept one of each for the sake of a pointless entry on the shelf, and salvaged two xbox and bdrom cases.
so, in effect, two games, one for the ps3 and xbox for two gbp, and a pair of cases for each to boot.  ;D
looking uppy indeedy.
i'll keep my eyes gouged ot for the like, always short on official media cases. (now all i need is some PAL-EUR dreamcast and playstation cases, and it's a roll.)  :D
[edit]
okay, it was a typo, but i'm not blind.  :P
who's dicking with my profile? (sooner have 'giz your gear or piss off' instead.)
Quote
I no speak you know eating the pointless score three copied of fifa 2012!!
^^  ??? if that's a pop at my coarseness (bad english) fair enough, i deserve FAR worse.
if it's a joke, went WAY over my skull, sorry guys.  :'(
[edit again]
you guys, and your hazings!  :D
i think i understand now, the only reason to get those games was for the cases alone.  :P (for that price, it would be mad to pass it up.)
