November 2013 Pick Ups PREPARE FOR BLACK FRIDAY!

[Arseen]

I'm really not trying to be a dick man. I know there is a few people here that do want the XBOX One/PS4... but there is a lot of people that doesn't care for them.

I'm happy that you got something you wanted, but truthfully, in my honest opinion, I think they are both an over rated pile of crap.

I want a system to play "Good games"... not watch tv and and play sports games... Hell, I even hate the current 360's interface, it's like "Let's play a game!" and then, "HERE IS A BUNCH OF ADDS THAT NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT!!"

Where are the good games? Really? I have not seen any good titles for day one release nor upcoming titles for later on either new system... The last good games I actually played was Dragon's Dogma and Mass Effect 3 and the quest menus blew total ass on Mass Effect 3...

I cannot justify spending $600 on a console and a couple of games that does nothing better than what I already got. Especially when they claim, "It's just like the systems you got now! derp"

This becomes a catch 22 because I'm sorry if I hurt your or anyone else's feelings, but I'm not sorry how I feel, and I know someone is going to be butthurt. So then I won't be sorry for them.

*End Rant.

Amen.

That's why I prefer my SNES.

Would be good  to get an opinion of both systems from someone who isn't a fanboy from one side or the other

Agreed...sadly I have no moneys for a while....soooo, XboxOne for me in 2 years. And PS4 for me probably Next year.
Was all for the 360 even though mine died and was brought back from the dead only to die again a year later. Still prefer my 360s over my fat PS3, but over the life of both consoles the RPG list fpr PS3 is far longer than its rival console.

Am I the first one to share my Xbox One?

Nice to see that you got one, enjoy

i miss the days where i just put in a game and play it. none of these updates, or need to be hooked up to the net or just because something hacked our system let put out a title update to block them and throw down the ban hammer. People all around me are running around with the PS4 and Xbone and i am just chilling with my PS2 with some kick ass RPG's

You bring up an interesting point that makes me think of something else. Remember cheat codes?

Developers now days have stripped games of all player customization. No god mode, no unlimited ammo, no endless power ups, no giant head mode. Hell, EA has even started charging real fucking money for in-game health packs. I loved being able to play games the way that I wanted to. If I got stuck at a boss or level I could punch in a code to either beat it or skip a level.

Game enhancers were a great work around when developers stopped making controller input codes. But now days even that's considered against the TOS and console manufacturers can ban you from using the device that you fucking paid for and own.

[wiggy]

I can't see a reason to own a PS4 yet (lack of games) an refuse to buy the Xbox based on Microsoft's very poor choices regarding their hardware pack-ins (kinect) and insane DRM.

I know I'll eventually own both for myself, but for now I largely agree with Palmer. Way more headache than it's worth, which says a LOT because I'm both a huge Forza & Killer Instinct fan.  I'm more than willing to pass on those titles if it means taking a stand against a company's foolish decisions.

[segamer]

I'm not sure this thread is the right place to rant. It's just a thread to post video games one has acquired. I didn't mean to cause post dramatic stress syndrome or pull up repressed video game memories. I enjoy vintage games too. That's why I collect them. I also enjoy new games. The good thing is that no one is making you buy them.

@sheep2001
Yes, I am far from a fanboy. I'm a fan of all games, I don't care which console they are on. I haven't had my Xbox One more than 10 hours but I found myself a little more impressed with the PS4 hardware. PS4 is light, elegant... smaller... Xbox One is a mammoth. It's heavy, ugly. The controllers are nice for both systems.

On the other hand, I like the launch line up of games better on Xbox One. I'd rather have Dead Rising 3, Killer Instinct 3, Crimson Dragon and Forza 5 over Kill Zone and Knack. At this point, it's a waiting game as to which comes out with the better exclusives.  I would likely recommend the PS4 over Xbox One due to the price as they will ultimately have the same third party content and at the moment, PS4 is running third party content better. That opinion will likely change as developers figure out the hardware.  

[Megatron]

I am definitely a little jealous about the Xbox Ones...but there just wasn't a decent enough game library to justify the purchase right now.  Maybe when Halo or something else drops my hand will be forced.  Until then...

Got my 3DS XL Zelda and IT. IS. GLORIOUS!  (props if you get that reference)



I preordered from Best Buy, but since they don't price match Online orders, I had to pay the $220.  Went to Walmart next door, found one on shelf and paid $199.  I also grabbed a physical copy of the game from a local gamestore and used trade in credit, so this one was free.  I plan to sell the online code for about $25 (higher if people bid but I just want it sold, so I don't care about making top dollar.  I also plan to return the Best Buy console, but AFTER the online preorder code for Oracle has been redeemed.  I looked into this, and it doesn't discount the code from the return price. And yes, this may be a shady tactic, but not price matching online orders, even when I pick up in store is bull. 

[Superchop]

Picked up the Day One Edition for my brother in law.  But for a good few hours it was in my possession lol

Also picked up LOZ: A link between two worlds and got the preorder code for Oracle of Seasons...but since I bought both oracle games when they released this code is useless to me

[Blumpkin]

Man, those LoZ 3DS systems are even prettier then advertised. I'm jealous.

But my red 3DS XL has a Spider-man sticker on it. So yeah. Take that. 

[segamer]

@Megatron
I really wanted one of those Zelda 3DS's. If it had come with a physical game, I would have probably gotten one. If they are still available after Christmas, I many get one.  Nice pick up.


I also picked these up today.

[palmer6strings]

The Zelda 3DS does look pretty sweet, but I'm happy with my Red Pokemon X and Y one.

[MaSHoe]

Was able to price match my bestbuy.com 3DS XL order with Walmart's deal at Best Buy. Basically saved me the price of taxes here, and will sell the Zelda: ALBW code on ebay or here if any wants it.

Got SM3DW for $37 and change after using my last $20 coupon from the power up reward points at Gamestop.

Pick up a Nes Deluxe Set complete in Box the gun and maybe some R.O.B. parts might be missing  ( i really dont know what should be included with the Set) but for $85 i think i got a good deal, and i always wanted a boxed nes.. and i now have a ROB too

It seems to be missing the 2 game carts (Duck Hunt/Super Mario Bros and Gyromite) and the Zapper.
As for the R.O.B parts only thing that might be missing is the other claw (I can see one in the second to last picture, and there might be the other in the last picture), All other parts seem to be there (battery bay doors are not pictured).

Nice find still.
