Holy buckets, I have so been looking for that....

Nothing super exciting, but a rare mid-day on a weekday pick-up.

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (X360) Bundle w/ Wireless Guitar NEW $69.99 - $10.00 Off Coupon = $59.99

Just what I needed, another guitar. With all the mic's guitars and the drums I think I have more gear then some recording studios.

Picked up a few games yesterday:

Trauma Center: Second Opinion (WII) - complete, $25 used

Resident Evil Zero (GC) - complete, $12 used

Killer7 (PS2) - complete, $5 used

Ninja Gaiden Black (XBOX) - complete, $25 used

With the purchase of Ninja Gaiden Black, I have all the original Xbox games I want. Six. Joy.

DDR Mario Mix (GC) - Used - Complete

LordAndrew

I can see why most of those were in the garbage. :P But DDR Mario Mix? Nice pick-up. :)

Also, I picked up the following last night:

• Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie's Double Trouble, SNES, n. mint, cart only, $1.99, R2 Pawn Shop (Player's Choice, unfortunately)
• RapJam Volume One, SNES, v. fine, cart only, $1.99, R4, Pawn Shop
• Tecmo Super NBA Basketball, SNES, fine, cart only, $1.99, R1, Pawn Shop
• Drone Tactics, DS, new, complete, $19.99, R0, Gamestop

and more importantly:

• a California Girls Collection PS1 memory card, with a pin-up of the beautiful A.J. built right in. Too bad with the orientation of the picture, she's upside down when in the system. I will post pics of this wonderful item later. I'm planning to make this a contest prize, so stay tuned!

The really sad thing is that I've spent more time with the Tom & Jerry GB game that I pulled from the garbage than I have with games like Gears of War that sit on my shelves unplayed. Here are some more pick ups.I paid $30 total for the SNES games. The others were more trash pickings.

Garbage Treasures

Ms Pacman (GB) - Cart only

Rugrats Castle Capers (GBA) - Cart only

I think it is pretty funny that many here have already picked up SCIV, but the one person you'd think would get it (me) isn't going to. Figure that one out.usagi704

Medal of Honor Heroes, Used, Complete (black label), Gamestop, $15 - I've been looking for this one for a few months. A friend of mine recommended it to me so I thought that if I ever find a non-GH version I'd pick it up. Today I found one.

Hit a few more Gamestops and took further advantage of the buy 2 get 1 free.

• Blood Omen 2, XB, $2.69
• Chronicles of Riddick, XB, Free
• Halo, Free
• Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, XB, 22.49
• Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast, XB, 26.99
• Knight's Apprentice, XB, 4.49
• MechAssault 2, XB, 5.39
• New Legend, XB, Free
• Timesplitters: Future Perfect, XB, 8.09
• Harvest Moon, GBC, R2, cart only, 5.39
• Leend of the River King 2, GBC, R4, cart only, 4.49
• Ultima: Runes of Virtue II, GB, R4, cart only, Free

I think my brain is shutting down. This rarity rating lark is confusing me: every time I see R2 I think 'Europe', R4 I think 'Australia'... and then I spend thirty seconds wondering when GameBoy games gained DVD regions...

But don't mind me... carry on :P

I got last night

Guilty Gear Judgement (PSP)

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth (PSP)

I got both for 38$, all are new and complete and i played Judgement for an hour and I have to say, it was worth every penny :)

Only one game this time....

- Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution

Well, if it had to be only one, it's an excellent pick. Awesome game.

Devil May Cry 4 (PS3) USED EBGames 24.99

Not so much note worthy as a game I was interested in playing w/ the PS3 install to see if it makes a difference

Onimusha and TMNT were pennied out, so I got those for free. Far Cry was free due to a buy one get one free deal for all games $14.99 or less. I figured why not nab a few older 360 games that I wanted back anyways...

* Two stores that I visited today are called Game Xchange and Game Exchange, confusing, no?

I think that with MTG and Crusaders that I've got all the PS1 RPGs and pseudo-RPGs with the exception of Digimon World 3. I'm also very pleased to have knocked 4 Atlus games (counting my recent purchase of Drone Tactics) off of my want list.

Here's where the explaining begins. This was from an ebay store where the guy gave you 10% off if you bought ten or more using "Buy it Now", so my buddy and I didn't even think twice about buying 15 games from him. Unfortunately, I didn't look at the shipping prices...so my $34.95 in games (minus a $3.50 discount) added up to $43.75 in shipping costs, or a total of $75.20. Once again, I am an idiot.

Incidentally, P.O.W., The Goonies II, one of the Fester's Quests and one of the Monster Partys are going to my buddy Steve.

Nope...which is why I paid him, took my medicine, and will never buy from him again.

I went to Best Buy today for the heck of it and found a couple of things....

Enclave - Xbox - New - $2.99 - Never heard of this before but for three bucks I couldnt pass it up.

NCAA Football 09 - PSP - New - $39.99 plus a %10 off so $36.99 - Wanted a new sports game and the 07 PSP game was great.

Enclave - Xbox - New - $2.99 - Never heard of this before but for three bucks I couldnt pass it up.

I stopped by Gamestop to pick up check out some games. I picked up:

Burnout Paradise (X360), $24, Used, Awesome shape, R0

Xbox Live Arcade Compilation Disc (there's no spot on this on Gamespot (since this is a known item I guess they don't want to add it, so I guess I'll have to add all 5 games individually to my collection?) It includes Pac-Man Championship Edition, Uno, and Boom Boom Rocket (which I already own) Feeding Frenzy and Luxor 2 (which I do not own), Xbox 360, $10 used, great shape. (not in digital rarity guide)

Madden NFL 07 (X360): Hall Of Fame Edition, $5, decent shape Includes cardboard cover), R1

Lost Planet: Extreme Condition (X360) Collector's Edition, $16, Like new shape! :O, R0

That last one is gonna be a favortie of mine for sure.

(not in digital rarity guide)

1. I want that.

2. With game compilations like that is it fair to just list the items separately? Normally I'd say no since things of that nature tend to be collections of games that were originally on other consoles, but items like this are different. This and the other XBLA package compile games that are only available for download on the same console. When I add them all as a single entry it almost feels like my collection number is being punished for wanted a hard copy rather than just accepting the downloads. Maybe I'm just OCD.
