Not sure if you know or not, but EVERY PS3 can play PS1 games.

 

Yes.  I know. lol
But I'm a purist.  I like having my gameshark, 1 handed rpg controoler, ps mouse and light gun.  Being my favorite console of all time, I also like using the actual machine

Picked up Kirby Dream Land 3 for a pretty good price, it's tough to find in the wild at least. Also got Excitebike for NES, and Paper Mario: TTYD and Sunshine complete for GameCube. Sunshine is Not For Resale copy, anyone know if it's worth a little more?

Thousand Year Door is my favorite game on the GameCube.  If you haven't played it yet, start now.  Amazing story, and probably the most interesting Mario related story in any game I've played. 

I used to own it years ago before I sold off all of my GameCube games, but I totally agree it's downright amazing. I'm pretty excited to play through again, I got to the final boss but could never beat her when I owned it before.

Same here. It's not the same playing games in other console and not playing them in there original consoles

Finds from the weekend.  Got really good deals on both Ultimate Muscle and Knights of the Round.

My pickup from yesterday. SOFA KING excited.

[BadChad]

Nice, I still really want one of these!

Super nice! I am very Jelly. Where did you get it?

[Hesch]

Randomly got a notification from Facebook Market for one of my tracked searches. A guy in Cincinnati was selling one for $300.

He even gave me a free game with it, which you can see on the right hand side there. It's a Japanese game called Lady Phantom. A strategy game 100% in Japanese, so....essentially worthless lol.

I found out a while back that my good buddy used to work with Voultar and is still kinda friends with him. Going to see if I can get him to help me get it recapped, do the jailbar fix and get it RGB modded.

I was at my local Game Exchange and they had a complete copy of Capcom's "Misadventures of Tron Bonne" for PS1.  First time I've ever seen one in person.  They are selling it for $170 - good price since it usually goes for close to $250.  I didn't examine it closely so I'm not sure of the exact condition, but it looked nice from the outside.

Money's a little tight right now, otherwise I probably would have bought it.  I did score a nice condition Gamecube controller for $3 at the Goodwill down the street.

I picked up a retron 5 from Gamestop for $100. Pretty good deal, since all I want to use it for is to play IPS patched games. Loaded up Seiken Densetsu 3, and it played. SO happy. Maybe I'll get some famicom games now too. Haven't even begun looking at those, so I need to figure out what's worth getting.

Also got the Zelda Spirit Tracks collector's hardback guide from my local game store. That makes 3 of those I have now. Kinda regret not buying the box set when I had the chance

I picked up some older rental store shelves yesterday for super cheap.  These shelves had already changed hands once.  The current owner was renting movies out of her tanning salon and decided to get out of that business, so she was selling the movies and shelves. I'm pretty sure she had acquired them from a previous rental store that had gone out of business.  If everything goes well, I'm going to pickup one more today.  Sorry for the bad lighting and the pile of stuff that's in the way.  We are currently working on a basement project that is going to make the room look much better (including new lighting), but it's still a work in process.  The timing for getting these shelves is poor because I'm trying not to bring in new stuff until the project is complete, but I couldn't pass up on the deal.  The shelves are about 4 feet long, but each shelf rests on the backer board which rests on the next shelf below it, so that support should help prevent bowing.  These shelves are pretty old and they haven't started bowing yet, so I think they will hold up quite well. 

[Bear78]

looks like some nice shelves there!

[SegaNomadman]

Very nice! Does the extra headroom on the shelves allow for longbox games like the Saturn to fit?

[wiggy]

Well those are pretty much perfect!
