[QUOTE="usagi704"]Yes, this copy of Demon Stone even has the Atari stickers! :lol:pikadeth
I've seen that one around and just figured that it was crap. It seems rather interesting now that I've bothered to look it up. Free stickers are always great too! My Fairchild Channel F arrived exactly as described and in fine working order! The Kool-Aid Man put it best when he said "Oh yeaaaaaaaahhhhh!"

it's ignored and under-rated, the voice over work is SUPERB! the gameplay is well done and the graphics are pretty nice. the story is slightly weak but holds togeather well throughout the game.

I popped it in for 5-10 mins. today and I was surprised that Patrick Stewart did some voice over for this game. It was very good!

I picked up Contact for the DS for $16.96.

I also got Saints Row for $30.  Amazon had it as their "Deal of the day".  $30 with free shipping.  I just picked up mine today.

Yes, this copy of Demon Stone even has the Atari stickers! :lol:usagi704

Atari stickers? My copy doesn't have any stickers.  :(

Anywho... I went out tonight and picked up:

Best Buy
Pokemon FireRed (GBA) $15
Rave Master Special Attack Force! (GBA) $10

Circuit City
Capcom Clasics Collection vol. 1 (PS2) $20
Onimusha Dawn of Dreams (PS2) $17
Fire Emblem The Sacred Stones (GBA) $15

I knew if I waited long enough, I'd get Dawn of Dreams for under twenty bucks.  And since it was one of the two games I kicked off the Price Watch thread with, I have updated said thread with this price.

where did you get saints row for 30?waflerevolution
I got it at Hastings. It was on sale from $39.99.

I bought a few things this evening.

  1. Jeopardy Deluxe Edition, GEN, v. fine, complete, $2.98
  2. Sniper Elite, Xbox, new/sealed, $14.98
  3. Final Fantasy XI, X360, new/sealed, $16.96
  4. Ninety-Nine Nights, X360, new/sealed, $29.99
  5. HD-DVD drive for the 360, new at $199.99 (sort of a graduation gift to myself)
  6. Serenity on HD-DVD
While I was in Best Buy getting the drive, someone hit my car (breaking my rear bumper in the process), and then bravely left the scene. Why do I have to share this planet with the lousiest spineless dishonest low-browed scum there are? It makes me want the power to make curses stick. Even though we've progressed beyond the stage where satisfaction could be obtained with a duel, I think that if you faced a real chance of taking a bullet if you were caught leaving the scene of an accident, maybe that would cause people to nut up.

I digress. This time I filed a police report. You'd think that a Best Buy would have security cameras that observe the first few rows of their parking lot. Not so, unfortunately. According to the officer who came to the scene, there is a report of damaged cars where the perpetrator leaves on a more than daily basis in my town. That needs to stop. Some lovely person just depreciated my car (a car that I will continue to pay for until mid-2009) by several hundred dollars and it looks like all that I can do is be pissy about it.

[QUOTE="gakon5"]Picked up Klax for the NES for six bucks, and a SNES Advantage for another six. There was another SNES arcade stick there that the dude was trying to sell me, but it was like $25, and I wasn't up for paying that much. Although it did have the arcade-style six button layout, unlike the SNES Advantage. Man, my first Tengen cart. This is scary having one black cart and ~30 grey ones... and two gold.



A Tengen cart that I, as yet, do not have.  Nice pickup.

I know it's not physical but I did get Alien Hominid HD and Worms from the Xbox 360 arcade.:P

I'm addicted to that.

It's also worth noting that the VC for the Wii doesn't have a secure system as Xbox does. Your downloads on the VC are tired to your console But what if yuor consolee dies? Then you gotta repay for them again. Xbox's are tied to your gamertag (name, address, etc.) Shocked when I heard that about the Wii.

Food for thought.

From a local mom n pop (only one left in the area):

PSX - Chrono Cross - Near Mint/ Complete - $10. Only problem is a cracked front case, but even though its a 2cd game, I think a standard jewel case front will fit on it, so Ill just swap it out.

Gen - Sonic 2 - Complete - Box and Game - good shape, Book - ok shape. I recently realised that I had no sonics for the Gen (I have a few gamegear ones.) I dont know how this happened, so I have to correct the problem.

One question about chrono cross, do I need to play chrono trigger first, or is it like FF games, where they are all independant of eachother?

You can play it seperately.  I have only played CT, but Mrs. Aspro73 says the two games are distinct and in no way linked.

Received today:
MLB 07: The Show $39.99  What is amazing to me, is that I have 131 PS2 games and this is the first sports game I have for that system (if you don't count the Hot Shots series as a sport -- which I don't).

I tried to post yesterday, but my browser was termperamental.  There is an install disc with the drive that changes the Xboxx dashboard slightly to divide the close tray button for the console drive and the HD drive, and aadter than you install the actual hardware, so it's pretty simple.  I haven't tried it on the PC yet, but I want to soon, and I'll give my impressions.  My 360 is hooked up with the component cables that came with the Premium package and an optical digital cable, and I have a 1080i-capable TV.  The A/V quality is very good for HD-DVD.  I tried a DVD, which it upscans to 1080i, but it doesn't do quite as good a job as my standalone upscanning DVD player, which I was hoping to replace, since it lacks some aspect ratio controls as well as controls for the audio track, angle, etc. that a typical DVD remote has.  I should mention that the picture quality is very similar between the two devices, even though the upscanner is connected via HDMI.

One odd thing that I noticed is that the eject button on the remote only controls the drive in the 360, not the HD drive, and I haven't figured out how to do that remotely.  It may be that there is no receiver in the external drive, or that there isn't any "eject" communication between the two.  I haven't explored this exhaustuvely, but it looks like I have to actually get out the couch and eject the disc---horrors!

I would like to pick up The Departed, V for Vendetta, and a few other discs, and while shopping for the drive, I noticed that Smallville Season 5 is available on HD-DVD.  If they start dropping more TV seasons, that would be great.  I'm not always for spending $22-30 for a 2-hour feature film.

I caved on my non-collection (trying to get Soldier of Fortune 2 for XBox, but it looks like it's easy to get on amazon for a good price, so I'll order it from there) and bought Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes.   It was only $15 CDN, but has no manual.  Better than the raw deal EB would've given me though.  By half.  Anyway, good thing I'd beaten the first 1/4 of The Crusaders, or I'd be up the creek without a paddle, the KUF games have a brutal learning curve even if you do have a manual.

I got a NEO GEO shipment in today, all complete except the free game, $89 including shipping:
Burning Fight - A side scrolling beat-em-up
NAM 1975 - An isometric vertical scrolling shooter (from what I can tell)
League Bowling
Another copy of Samurai Showdown/ Samurai Spirits (too bad I already have it) -- if any one wants to swap it for any other Neo Geo game let me know.

EDIT: I just noticed that Burning fight has the original price tag on it from 1991 -- $199.99.  In 2006 dollars that $297!

I tried to go to work today but found that due to a power outage our entire network was down.  So, what does one do in that situation?  I took the opportunity to drive around to a bunch of stores that are a bit out of the way for me.  Here's the damage:

Cars (X360), New, $30
Crimson Sea 2 (PS2), Used, Complete, $12
God of War II (PS2), New, $50
Gunvalkyrie (XBOX), Used, Missing manual (but I know where I can get one and the disc and case were perfect), $5
Resident Evil 0 (GC), Used, Complete, $10
Resident Evil (GC), Used, Complete, $10
Resident Evil 3 (GC), Used, Complete, $20
Shining Force Neo (PS2), New, $30
SOCOM II (PS2), New, $10
Star Fox: Assault (GC), Used, Complete, $17
Summoner (PS2), Used, Complete, $3
Tak 2: The Staff of Dreams (GC), New, $10

I've never played the RE games so I've decided that since the GC has all of them (1-4, plus Zero, and Code Veronica) that would be a nice platform to target for getting all the games.

Are they doing that with all the stores? Or just a select few. And how does one find out which?

That's some good news indeed.  I cannot beleive you'd buy disc-only PS1 games though :question:

I know, but concidering how cheap I got with the deals, I still made off. I like to play games, so I'm with joy right now. :P I'm more of a collector of experiences.

Are they doing that with all the stores? Or just a select few. And how does one find out which?duncanr2n

Honestly, I can't answer that. The best thing I can say it try going to yor local store and see if they are. :P

---

The N64 games I aw there, while many, didn't catch my eye. There's a lot of n64 games there that I wouldn't pay 7, 6, or even 5 bucks for. I always been extremely picky with that system, and a lot of the games I saw there were either not pleasing to me, for too much money, or looked aweful. It was in stark contrast to the PSone games that look so neat and clean.

Right on, that's a much better way of looking at the situation.

Armored Core: Project Phantasma for $6.29 with discount

And NES Games:

My EB Games store near me got a shipment of 100 N64 Games and 100 PSone games and others. They are putting some out every week, and should have more out next week (So I'll be there :) )

The PSone games I got are just the disks, but are in excellent condition. and te NES carts are also. No marks dings nothing. Pretty ncie deals concidering that I only paid 23 bucks for all of this.

Adding all the discounts and deals I got on this games (buy one get one free, and the discount goof up (it actually took off more then it should off of the NES games, but who cares? :P) :), I saved $27.90....WOW.

Rayman Brain games - here's a game I never heard of before.

Also, I got the TMNT arcade game off of XBLA yesterday.

blogged.
I got a NEO GEO shipment in today, all complete except the free game, $89 including shipping:
Burning Fight - A side scrolling beat-em-up
NAM 1975 - An isometric vertical scrolling shooter (from what I can tell)
League Bowling
Another copy of Samurai Showdown/ Samurai Spirits (too bad I already have it) -- if any one wants to swap it for any other Neo Geo game let me know.








aspro73
yay.

I tried to go to work today but found that due to a power outage our entire network was down. So, what does one do in that situation? I took the opportunity to drive around to a bunch of stores that are a bit out of the way for me. Here's the damage:

Cars (X360), New, $30
Crimson Sea 2 (PS2), Used, Complete, $12
God of War II (PS2), New, $50
Gunvalkyrie (XBOX), Used, Missing manual (but I know where I can get one and the disc and case were perfect), $5
Resident Evil 0 (GC), Used, Complete, $10
Resident Evil (GC), Used, Complete, $10
Resident Evil 3 (GC), Used, Complete, $20
Shining Force Neo (PS2), New, $30
SOCOM II (PS2), New, $10
Star Fox: Assault (GC), Used, Complete, $17
Summoner (PS2), Used, Complete, $3
Tak 2: The Staff of Dreams (GC), New, $10

I've never played the RE games so I've decided that since the GC has all of them (1-4, plus Zero, and Code Veronica) that would be a nice platform to target for getting all the games.

Snagged myself an old TRS-80 that we had lying around the library collecting dust.  I asked my boss if I could have it and she said it was fine.  It came with Color Baseball!! 

I'll take a couple pictures and put them in my blog tonight.

I've heard that Enchanted Arms is much better than Gamespot would have you think. I don't really feel that Gamespot ever gives any JRPG a fair review, especially the more quirky JRPGs, so I always go to RPGFan for a second opinion.  Here's their review of Enchanted Arms and it's much more positive and from what I can tell a little more objective.  I own it as well, but I've not played it yet.  It's in my queue for 360 games.

Dune in HD! Nice!

Snes:
Super Play Action Football, $0.15
Time Cop, $0.75

NES:
Battle Tank W/ instruction manual, $0.45
Hook, $0.45
Image Fight, $0.30
Blaster Master, $0.60
Silver Surfer, $0.60
Elevator Action W/ sleeve, $0.75
Top Gun, $0.30

Sega Genesis:
Lotus Turbo Challenge, $0.30
Mario Andretti Racing. $0.60

I saved a total of $29.56, with all the discounts. Yay! All carts are in excellent condition, so I'm happy.

I am so jealous camiller ... you don't even know.  You've been getting some nice games at super great prices.

I wonder if those are games from the rhino takeover.

It didn't just hit me till now - you guys are prlly right. Some of them are from Eb store's backlog, games that other stores can't seem to get rid of. I'm bettig the psone ones mightbe from rhino. They are nrwly packaged, in plain jewel cases.

Okay, well for $150 I got two Atari 5200's a bunch of controllers and 45 games. 4 in box, and about twelve manuals. One of the 5200's does not work, so now I'll have 3 total, two for parts. In the 45 games, there are a few duplicates, I already had about 7-8 boxed 5200 games, but there is a good blend of games in there, including River Raid and Rescue from Fractalus (both complete) And all the Atari greats.

Also got Ultimate Ghosts 'n' Goblins from Amazon for $18.99 (it is going for $19.99 usually, today there is an additional dollar off).

Well now that I have one that works I'll be able to do all that double-blind troubleshooting.  Before I did not know which parts were the problem.  I need a voltometer too... Wait, I just remembered I have one... becuase the 5200 has no power indicator light.

My two-controller 5200 has a power light about an inch below the power button.  Look for that.

Unfortuately, while my 5200 works, I have no hook-ups (I've been swapping with my 2600) or controllers that work.  So if you have any extra that you're willing to part with, shoot me a price and I'll fire some dough your way.
