Too many things to quote so I'll just say, congrats on every one's pick ups, they are most totally awesome :D I wish we had sales like this over here :P

On the NES toploader issue...

It's now mine!, I pulled it for $155 AUS plus 15 (and an extra 5 for registed shipping) so in total $175 AUS. [QUOTE="gmsnpr"][QUOTE="-_-Nintendo-_-"]How much should I bid for This? What is a fair price for a Top loader like that?-_-Nintendo-_-

Once converted, it equals 138 US :D

Got another Ani maniacs game off of eBay yesterday.

Animaniacs (SNES) Factory sealed $12.94 with shipping.

I probably payed more then most people would have, but I'm happy with the transaction. Oh, and I don't see any "repackaging" marks on the seal.

That now leaves two more Animaniacs games I have to find (Lights, Camera, Action! & The Great Edger Hunt), and that is proving difficult with my only resource being eBay as the one's listed are all PAL format.

Took delivery today of my NEOGEO with controller and the following two games for $250 total:
(Both complete)

Samurai Shodown
3 Count Bout

Now I just have to figure out were to put it. I hate stacking systems, but it may have to dwell on top of the 3DO for a while.

I got the NEOGEO hooked up, it is a beautiful thing.  I was shocked by how big the games are.  Look at this picture of a cart box on top of my Wii. (click for detail). 

I also picked up Tales of Eternia (PSP). I actually already own this game, but my copy has the dreaded Volt glitch. duncanr2n

That's cool.  Here is a forum about it for those who are interested.

You (John) mentioned that to me when I first joined I think (something about it being only sold in Cali). I just got a copy on Ebay for $14 + $5 shipping.aspro73

Picked up Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie on 360 tonight for $9.99. It is n. mint and complete. Old Spice Challenge, you is my woman now!gmsnpr

All 3 used King Kong copies at the rental place were I bought it are $9.99. I got the good one; one was without insert or manual and one was without manual.

I picked up Tube Slider on GC today, n. mint and complete for $9.99. There are only a small number of Gamecube games remaining on my want list.

About the Neo Geo games. I think (Emphasis on think, I could very easily be getting confused with something else) that I read that Neo Geo games were so large because SNK thought that people would feel better about spending so much money on a game if they were larger, you know make them think they are getting more bang for their buck. Ultimately its alot of dead space.

Picked up KOTOR 1 and Psi-Ops ( both on XB) for $9.95.  Together.  Discs are in good condition, both have their manuals although psi-ops has a puncture in the plastic membrane of the jewelcase; no damage to box art, though.

Even though I was having a problem with KOTOR because it wasn't caching ot teh hard drive, the deal was way too good to pass up (being that KOTOR platinum resells for $29 - $30 CDN).  And, KOTOR works after a second patch job via XBox Live; when I deleted the content, the update that originally corrupted the hard drive data was removed too, so when it was re-ionstalled, all was well.  Which means Soldier of Fortune 2 is back on my "to buy" list.  it really hurt when I had to trade those two titles in because they wouldn't cache to the hard drive anymore because of corrupted data from XBL.

Is it your first time with Guitar Hero, or have you played it before?

I love those games.

I've played GH before. My sister has it (both actually, but she only had the first one last time I visited her).  I've never really messed around with GHII, though.

Went to bestbuy for the clearance. Obviously most of the games I wanted were MIA, however I did walk up to the register with about 10 games, most of them ended up ringing up for significantly more than the list I had said they were supposed to be, and since it wasn't a bestbuy published list I couldn't argue. What I did pick up was

Xbox: Blinx 2 (new) $1.99

          Flatout (new) $1.99

Formula One Championship Eddition (PS3)

It's not old, I didn't get it at a great price, but I'm still happy about it seeing as how it is my first next gen game purchase :).

Today's only saw minor damage.

ChoroQ (PS2) - $4.98 new
R: Racing Evolution (PS2) - $4.98 new

A perfect example of why I HATE microtransactions and also why I am in no hurry to buy a "new gen" system.

I'm sorta pissed, as the sexy alternative costumes for the witch in Bullet Witch are all downloadable content. Way to capitalize on lecherousness, Atari! I was hoping that you could just beat all of the levels or find X number of widgets to dress her up like a French maid or naughty schoolgirl. Damn.

Psychonauts for the PS2 arrived in the mail for me yesterday.  It was an ebay auction I won for approx. $13 after shipping.  I would be super pleased, however, despite the fact that the auction discription said it included the disc, box, and manual, I only got the disc and the box; no manual. 

Now, to be fair, the guy emailed me after I sent payment for the auction with an appology and telling me that he didn't actually have the manual after all like he thought.  He also said that he would refund my money back if I wanted to change my mind; but that he would also ship the next day if he didn't hear back from me.  Well, I didn't happen to check my email that day, and by the time I saw it, he had already sent me an email a day later letting me know it was on it's way. 

The game disc is in great shape, as is the box, but I hate not having the manual.  This leaves me with a few questions for you guys.

1) Does anyone have an extra Psychonauts PS2 manual they'd like to sell me?

2) What feedback would you give this guy.  I'm not sure if I want to leave positive feedback (he did give me the option, however brief, for a refund) or neutral feedback (the item descrition was incorrect after all).

Agreed. It is one thing for devs to release stuff that was honestly developed after the fact, not because they knew they could release an incomplete game (Crackdown - according to many people, I dont have first hand experience), but because they were showing support for their product down the road (Maps for Halo 2).

Anyways, acquisition report - Nothing new. I went to another bestbuy at lunch yesterday and they were picked clean of clearance items. Oh well, it is to be expected.
