The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread

[owlnonymous]

I had some good pickups this weekend. A friend contacted me about a yard sale with a few consoles. I took the lot for $50

I also found some other games and some obey at the flea market.

Then I traded a few things in to the local game store for these.

I like Soul Caliber. That one is of another caliber.

That yard sale find for $50 was great!  Too bad the DC games are all burnt copies but it is still a good chunk of games to play before you buy if nothing else.

I see all great games staked up here. A lot of uncharted goodness. Some Sega fun and you cant go wrong with Mistif Makers for the N64

[NecroPhile]

Bomberman cannot be unseen.

[xcrement5x]

Nice pickups owly!

And cool to see another person with Nightmare Busters.

Just got this in the mail. Pretty good handheld. Thumb stick is sick. Wish more retro handhelds came out with it . Next thing on the list is to get it frontlit that's the only downfall. A few more games on their way and I'm all set. Not going to go crazy picking up games for it unless there is a really must have for it .

I found some snes carts at the bottom of a box in a used book store today.

Jeopardy? Who cares.

Wild Arms? I'll take it.

[Mishran]

No pic, but just added 3DS Smash Bros to my recent gets. Anyone who has it interested in some battles when I get up and started on it?

GOLD.

There were about 25 games for $7.50 each, but most were common (PGA Tour) and the others were in horrible condition. (Contact corrosion, torn labels, Nulltard piss, etc.)
Too bad superbomberman, megaman x, mario all stars needed a haz mat suit just to touch them.

Are they still there?  Might be worth the gamvle to clean up to test out the games. 

I know I am still looking for a chrono snes

This arrived in the mail too.

Nice, galam.  Not a bad deal on dat chan.

[sosoyo180]

Got me a very noice copy of Ys III for $50! Definitely my best find in a while.

[Medic_wheat]

Spludge! 

Can't wait for this to come in the mail

Grabbed these today,  Sunset overdrive is like jet grind radio/jet set radio all over again but with steriods.  The mario CD I decided to use up my nintendo points and the AKANE  journey cd is for fans who enjoy the music from the panzer dragoon composer,

I agree. I kept hearing revewers compair it to tonky hawk but when I saw the game play and it was this skaing like grinding flow I thought Nooooo that's jet grind radio to me. Even more so with the vibrant colors

[munchiaz]

Sunset looks  a lot like infamous on the ps3 which makes sense because its made by the same team

I am still only in the game a few hours and there is still a lot of game system to unlock. Me playing in the vid below (these current gen systems allow you to record a limited clip and upload your gameplay to sites like youtube etc) :

I've never played an insomniac game but I hope they get to to do more IPs like this.

the multiplayer is insane tho.

[SuperGrafx]

Seems like a cross between Lost Planet and Jet Grind Radio

Is there an option to shut your character's mouth? Maybe that will be paid DLC. EVERYONE would gladly pay for that option.

108% agreement.

I bought a PVM-3230 I've included a video of it in action.

I am jealous.

[Medic_wheat]

That is freaking big. What did it set you back?

[DragonmasterDan]

$1.99 at a Goodwill

So friggin' awesome man.  That's like the pickup of the year. 

Did you get a weight estimate on it?

In doing some research it appears to weight around 80 KG which google tells me is about 175 lbs.

[BlueBMW]

Considering it dwarfs the 2030 which weighs in pretty close to 100 lbs, its no surprise that it's that heavy.  Awesome pickup for sure!

[thesteve]

80Kg thats what my plasmasync weighs

[DragonmasterDan]

I was quite pleased, I'd say it borders on being too big. The scanlines are huge, the pixels are huge, it's difficult to move and was quite a challenge to get into my basement.

Awsome find..lay better then my Panzer Saga....only because we know I didn't get it for no $1 and it was off eBay not something cool you stumble across in the wild....



Going to shower and change then hit up the flea market and maybe a goodwill or two with a bud

I picked up two magnavox brand speakers for the PVM-3230 so I am now using the internal amp for it.

[NecroPhile]

Legend of Heroes bluray?  Is that anime based on TitS?

[nectarsis]

It  starts with the cliff hanger from the first game.....PARTS of 2 (with ots of liberties).  Solid fun, but flawed.

[Flare65]

Pulled the trigger on this.  I already own originals of Sylphia and Fausette.

[xcrement5x]

I just got this awesome piece of the 90s in:

A Sega IR 7000 Communicator in Box



It's basically a rebadged Casio Personal Assistant with Sega branding, geared toward the "rad" teens of the days. This was around the time Sega was trying to branch out more into kids toys instead of just video games.  This will go nicely with my set of PODS and the Pico.  It's funny that the Pico really was a bit ahead of itself as the Leapster and such type units have been very successful now.

Just get a flash drive with it and have fun. It's a great media player/emulation machine.

I am so happy to have this game in my Saturn library.  Possibly the most expensive one I plan on getting.  Whew.

$320 free shipping. Expensive



Got it for $1. Wasn't expecting the box. I have the game and the box CE (new unopened) 

Want to try and get some of the xbox face plates from some of the games and more limited release ones. I thibk they might look cool put in a shadow box of some sort and displayed on a wall.

[Medic_wheat]

What would be a smoking deal?  $180?  Or pick up a loose set?

[munchiaz]

Finally came in the mail today. I pre ordered this guy like 6 months ago.



I plan to create a instagram account just for pictures of this lil cutie going on adventures

[Medic_wheat]

I will trade you my soul for that bearclaw.

You already sold it for those devilish good looks
