New Acquisitions, Volume 2

-GoldenEye 007 (N64) cart only-$17.96.

Did I overpay? Heck yes I did. But I really like GoldenEye, and I need some more N64 games. It's one of the systems I have the fewest games for.

I suppose it doesn't look any better if you take $4 off for shipping?

[QUOTE="CodingGenius"]Jollyroger78, I have tried Soul Calibur 2, but for some reason I never really got into it. :( I did prefer the characters and play control to Tekken and DOA.jollyroger78

Fair enough. I wasn't crazy about Soul Calibur II (even though I've played the crap out of all three versions). I liked Soul Calibur for the Dreamcast much better. I also really liked Virtua Fighter 4.

Of course, there is always Fight Club...;)

I have not been posting my new aquisitions lately as they are mostly PSP,DS and GBA games for which I have paid unspectacular prices for. Of note though:
I was happy to finally get God Hand, new for $25
Metal Gear Solid Digital Comic new for $14
Gunstar Super Heroes new for $9.99
Also, with my replacement 360, I got a free copy of NFS:MW
which came with a disc and manual but no case, leaving to wish I had bought more of those happy meal games just for the extra cases.

Of these, I will probably only open MGSDC.

Sounds like either ebay or trade in fodder to me...

I discovered an extra 10% off coupon in the "free, take one" mag at my local EB Games store and with my EB Edge card I managed to get some good game deals:

Ridge Racer 6 for $14.57
Prey for $21.86
Ninety Night Nights for $21.86

All in excellent condition.

So for the price of a new Xbox 360 game, I got three used ones. Not bad if I do say so myself. GAMECAMILLER

We finally sold our house, so I went up to gather the last of the stuff we left behind.  Various misadventures ensued, (which I'll probably elaborate on when the CCU Week in Review volume 3 thread opens up) but here's what I picked up along the way. 

Games4Less
Willow (NES) $9 - Cart only
Fist of the North Star (GB) $9 - Cart only

GameStop
Crystalis (GBC) $5 - Cart only
Summon Night (GBA) $19

Best Buy
Castlevania (DS) $29
Genesis Collection (PS2) $14

Thanks goes out to A_P's article for compelling me to pick up Willow; now I'll judge for myself if the game really is better than the movie. :P 

And while Fist of the North Star is still pretty sweet - it wasn't nearly as much fun as I remember.  Crystalis still rox my sox though.

And while Fist of the North Star is still pretty sweet - it wasn't nearly as much fun as I remember.inkwolf

I went to Circuit City today and saw Genji: Dawn of the Samurai (PS2) for $29.  One of their copies even had a price tag of $39.  I thought, "gee I should have gotten this when I saw it at Best Buy for ten bucks" (like I noticed some other CCU members did). 

Then I thought, "ho ho! I could have Circuit City price match against Best Buy!"

So I took the forty dollar copy up to customer service, told them I saw the same game for ten bucks at Best Buy, and thanks to their 110% of the difference price match policy, got the game for about seven bucks. 

Fist of the North Star (GB) $9 - Cart onlyinkwolf

I found my receipt for this.  It was actually five bucks, not ten.  I remember the price sticker on it was $9 though.

Castlevania (DS) $29inkwolf

I should have mentioned this was Dawn of Sorrow, not Portrait of Ruin.

So, you're saying you actually have had fun playing that game? Lucky you, I guess. I am a big fan of the anime, but that game played horribly, IMO.usagi704

Yeah, that was pretty much my take on it after I popped it in my GBA.  I bought it because I borrowed it from a friend years ago in high school and I thought I remembered having fun with it.  Maybe my pain threshold was higher back then. :P

I too love the Anime but the GB games was aweful... waflerevolution

Yup... so much for five bucks.

Just picked up Summon Night 2 (GBA) and Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin for DS. Both new, $40 CDN each.Apathetic_Prick

I bought a AV Cable for my Sega Master System II. I couldn't play it before cos that cable was broken but now I can even plug it into AV inputs and not have my TV Searching for the System for 5 minutes every time I have to swap the console. It was $9.95 AU which is pretty expensive for a cable but I really wanted to start playing the Mega Drive again and it's cheaper than buying the system again. Now I gotta figure out what games I should search for it :)clubhaxor

AWESOME! is the japanese one different in some way? friend request sent.waflerevolution

Met a friend online and I brought an item or two :)

4 N64 controllers,

two N64 mem cards,

4 rumble paks,

N64 console

Vdoctor

All for 40 US :D

They also had two Sega Saturns for $29.95 each there, and I'm tempted to buy one of them, but it seems like I could get a better deal on eBay, where I'd be getting some games bundled with the console. Their rack of Saturn games was also a bit limited; about a dozen games - all sports.gakon5
