I never thought I'd lay my eyes (or mouse) on one of these babies again. Remember when Dragon Quest 8 came out, they released a Blue Slime Playstation 2 controller? I thought it was silly looking, and I was still fairly new to the Dragon Quest world at the time, though right now I'm still a newbie to it (games are in backlog but I understand it more at least). So I didn't purchase it. Then it kind of fell off the face of the earth. When I wanted to get it finally, I could never find it anywhere! So I gave up the search.

I got a email from Estarland tonight saying they had a small stock of new slime controllers. I dance in my chair. I've been wanting one of these things forever. I thought I would have to get a used one. But get this, they are going to charge $15 bucks for it, it usually goes for like $40. If you enter the right code in the box at checkout. Score I say and I added it to my cart. I also added a brand new shiny copy of Final Fantasy 8..yep I have it already but my copy is so beat up it's in bad shape..and yes I know the new copy is gonna be Greatest Hits label but I rather have the security it's gonna play all 4 discs when I get to FF8 in my collection for $16.

Next week I get Spectral Force 3 and Soul Calibur 4, the 360 version.

Still trying to figure out my must have game buys for September onwards. It's been difficult.
