I genuinely love that vinyl is a mainstay. It’s proof that physical products are still very much so viable, even when digital only alternatives exist.

Same. Just a few weeks ago I picked up a really nice Sony record player at Goodwill for $8. I'm not going to become a vinyl collector because I have my limits to the physical items I want to keep in my house and video games are still at the top of that list. However, I will pickup albums that I really enjoy listening to. I'll have to post a picture of it later (maybe I already did but I can't remember), but I bought the vinyl soundtrack to the PS3 game Journey. That is an amazing soundtrack, and the art on the record and sleeve is really cool.
I've also been eyeing that very same RE2 soundtrack along with the SOTC and Doom soundtracks.

The Square Enix website has another big sale going on for those who are interested in such things. I had been wanting to buy Gravel on PS4 for a while. I know it's just Square's version of Dirt, but I still like those games and was happy to see it for $10.

First Limited Run PS3 game.

I know we don't really put digital downloads in the pickups thread but I have been having a blast with Slay the Spire since it came out on Switch a few days ago. I've already put about 15 hours into it while most new games I've played lately have only gotten me an hour or two of play time before it just goes on the shelf.

This thing works pretty damn well, and it can use the HD Retrovision Sega Genesis cables, so the picture and sound are amazing. Ultimately I went with this over the US Turbo Duo, and I'm pretty happy with my choice.
This thing IS a little snug on a TG-16, and it's clearly meant for a PCE. However, if you unscrew the 2 screws slightly it becomes a more reasonable grip.
Also, the TG-16/PCE mini has been announced. So that's something...
-
Nice pickup. I would like to get one of those myself some day.

Long time lurker, first time engaging here (aside from a post about a mistake on a cover I found last year).

Nothing too special here except Mario Bros. (5-screw variant).

CIB. :D
(https://i.ibb.co/SPrT4ZM/20190613-121926-1.png)
Also CIB. Found this one at a local used game store (NOT GameStop) mispriced at $18. It's in good shape (not excellent, can see some defects in the cover) but the game itself is in near mint condition and the PCB is genuine. Very excited over this find. :D
-
Nice pickup on the TG-16. I have one myself with an Everdrive (I decided right away I could not commit the $$$ required to play the best games). One question - how do you connect it with the HD Retrovision Genesis cable? I have two such cables. Right now I use an aftermarket TG-16 composite adapter to connect it to a CRT. I don't have a TG-CD or the CD adapter you have.

My city's pick up ;D

I don't have a TG-CD or the CD adapter you have.
So I had been using a TG 16 with an everdrive for a while. The device that I just got basically has a built in everdrive and it has the genesis 2 port directly on the unit. Here is how it connects...

(https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/b0e9/83g9kzrzatgfsdk7g.jpg) (http://www.mediafire.com/view/?83g9kzrzatgfsdk)
However, from what I understand, ALL TG-16s have the ability for RGB out. It's just a matter of modding the console or using the right accessory. For a few years I have been using this...
(https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/28f8/d85h2aabop1x9b07g.jpg) (http://www.mediafire.com/view/?d85h2aabop1x9b0)
(https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/366c/643138za87gv8he7g.jpg) (http://www.mediafire.com/view/?643138za87gv8he)
It isn't pretty, and without a shell it's fairly fragile, but it taps in to the RGB signal. I never used the actual component ports on it, instead using the genesis 2 port with the retrovision HD cables. I got this on eBay for about $20 a few years ago. The seller is still making them:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/PC-Engine-AV-Booster-RGBS-output-TurboGrafx-16-Composite-RCA-RGB-SCART-/153434964442?oid=152607382167
Yes, I'm sure these are cheap, and better (more costly) solutions are available. But this thing has made my TG16 look great for the last 2 years.

Yesterday's Flea Market finds. Really excited to finally find the third X-Men Game Gear game. Also got Traysia for a great price and found a random Mega Man Wily Wars repro.

I finally found Azure Dreams and Shadow Tower for decent prices. So now I am only 3 games away from a complete US PS1 RPG set. ;D

I have to admit, I am fairly bummed by the "exclusive backer slipcover". I mean, it's ok. But I don't love this design. The back is alright I guess. But the original place holder was MUCH better IMO. I suppose it's the game that matters, and I will test that out later tonight. But color me disappointed in this backer exclusive copy. And I picked up a Best Buy version of Curse of the Moon because "why not? physical copy."

I'm not sure what you mean by player two setup either.
I have one, but I use it to easily switch between my Wii and Wii U (which play on two different TVs) since it can be optionally powered with batteries and therefore, doesn't need any wires. It also has the option to widen the viewing angle of the remotes if needed.

So my game room will be player one on network games and my computer room that will have considerably less consoles (2nd ps3, 2nd xbox, 2nd xbox 360, 2nd Wii and so on) will be the player 2 setup for network games.

Hey Wiggy, what's your label look like? I was just going to try printing out this one on some photo paper.

Somebody really likes FFXV :D
Took a chance on poorly/incorrectly listed auction and the free $3.00 on a $3.01+ purchase promo to snag this for a dollar.

Well I'm the cool gaming uncle.
I play PS4, my older little brother's kids use XBOne, third sister's kids Switch.
I did order the other 3 missing versions (normal PS4 and NOEs for Switch and XBOne) too though...

The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate case in picture is from the big box.
Note that it's missing the ratings logo.
-
I imagine that’s because it’s not labeled for individual sale, thus would not require the ratings to be posted on it, the same as an instruction manual or any other pack-in material.

My BotW copy is the same way and it was part of Special Edition set. Outer box had an ESRB on it but the case/cover itself did not.

Just checked and true also on European BotW and Bayonetta 1+2, but not on any of my Japanese big box games (they all have rating) or European Harvest moon.

If you were holding off on picking up the physical copy of Moss like I was, it's apparently out of print and starting to dry up. I grabbed one of the last Gamestop copies in the area. Used some discounts / coupons to bring it down a bit. Also Hollow Night came in

I went by a local media chain's warehouse sale Saturday and while they didn't have any games, they did have this nice Onimusha Katana PS2 controller I can use to defend M'lady's honor. Also got the boxed Galatus there. Hit up a "gaming yard sale" and grabbed some NES commons. Lastly, I found a day 1 edition of Etrian Odyssey 2 at a Slackers (local media chain) for way to cheap for them.

I usually don't post the items I acquire anymore. This past month, I got some stuff I'm really proud of. I got an empty arcade cabinet from Craigslist for $50 and started building an Altered Beast arcade machine. I got two Altered Beast PCB for $200.
