I ordered Rare Replay for Xbox One (Had the X console for a while now still haven't opened it though...), got message that it has been sent.
At the same time I got message that same shop sent also my order from July (which I had forgotten completely) which is Rare Replay for Xbox One... ::)

Finally tried out GameStop's retro service thing. I got F-Zero, Super Star Wars, Vectorman, Kirby's Dream Land, and Soul Calibur. All of the cartridge games came in fine (Vectorman was a little dirty but it cleaned easily). Soul Calibur was the only disappointment. The center portion of the disc has a crack through the plastic section. I works, but I'm constantly scared to use it at all due to the stress on the disc when removing it from the case or Dreamcast. Overall, I'd say that getting carts from GameStop but maybe hold off on disc games. It's hard to tell if it was damaged during shipping or if it was just bad quality control from the outset though.

I would return that disc.  Their quality control on their retro stuff is pretty crappy, but at least they are good about taking returns. 
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

Thing is, I got the disc for free (I really got these a while ago through a promo they were doing) so returning it really wouldn't do anything for me. It's no big deal for me, I took a gamble and got 4/5. Not too bad in my books.

Did you ask about swapping out for something else?  I've had a similar situation with them where I couldn't return since the game was part of a B2G1 deal, but they just allowed me to swap out.  I know that we are talking about stock that they don't have in store, but it's still worth asking.  GS is better at working with customers than most people give them credit for.  Although, it depends a lot on which type of employee you get.

I honestly should have, but its been WAY over the return policy date so I probably wouldn't have much luck in that department. Live and learn I guess.

there are some stickers you can apply to lessen the stress on the plastic.

Where can I get ahold of these? They'd be SUPER helpful!

If you have a Family Video near you... you could always ask them for a blank label for your game.  If someone asked me for one, I wouldn't mind giving them one (lol)

My black Analogue Super NT arrived today.

As did Joking Hazard card game's new addition deck called Stroking Hazard (Hint: It's collaboration with Porn Hub).

And a protest children book called Last week tonight with John Oliver presents: A day in the life of Marlon Bundo.
Can't tell more as it would be against the no politics rule.

Some new stuff.

First up is a little Kickstarter game I backed.


Apparently I owned COD already but was the EU version.  Oh well now I have two copies.


Got a second copy of R-Type (not the early run like my other) and a copy of Holy Diver.


Got these at Half Price Books for a good price.  They had a few other rarer PS1 games for a good price but unfortunately bills must get paid also.


Another HPB purchace.  This was only $15! and in mint.  The CD is unopened.  Okami HD PS3.


Still do not own a Switch but my Library is growing.  Also I may have posted D-Drive already but couldn't remember.  Also JP Psyvariar Delta and Musynx



And lastly my Video Game Monthly box came in.

I love that you don’t even own a switch, yet you’re going so far as to buy imports  :D

I approve of that level of madness.


Here’s my only pickup of the month so far.

got my MegaMan box from iam8bit.   Most likely... not going to open it though (not even the shipping box, it's closed by a level select code sticker).  But dang it, I want to know if I got the 1/8 chance for the blue cart =P
