I found a "JVC X'EYE" at the fleamarket today for $60. I feel like I should have bought it. But i guess its not that epic of a find and i could easily get one on Ebay for $80.

N64 w/all cables and the graphics chip tape still unbroken for $10.

I think I finally got my brother to let me have his 360 that keeps dying (I don't mind tearing it apart every few months for a quick shitty in-my-basement reflow, in fact I would enjoy that). His roommate moved out to go to the military, and left me in indefinite control of the Wii and my brother in control of his working 360.

I guess I should find a hard drive for it. I wonder where I can find a quick 20gb for cheap... IE not-getting-ripped-off by the preowned stores or pawn shops around here...

OH RLY? Like, storage storage? Exactly like the drive? I've even got a 30gig 2.5" drive in some box somewhere that hasn't been used for ages.

Not quite. The maximum amount of capacity the 360 can use on external drives is 16GB.

I found Valkyrie Profile in a pawn shop for 9 dollars.

I got a JVC X-eye (with minor wear) in a pawn shop for 30.

I bought a copy of black-label Xenogears for 50 bucks from an EB Games after it had been out for a long time... and then forgot to open it ever. So now I still have it sealed.

I'm reminded of when Valkyrie Profile was marked down to 19.99 at Target. My brother and I bought one copy to play. His friend bought a bunch of copies, and later made a pretty saucy profit on eBay. We definitely kicked ourselves at that point.

Bought a broken Saturn the other day for $10 shipped, opened it up and the power supply plug was disconnected from the board..plugged it back in and everything works perfectly.. ;0

[mrhaboobi]

I found a complete boxed with all released games odyssey at a local market for around $30.. an amazing buy

Also recently managed to get my hands on a Magical Chase box :) Traded for that, wasnt cheap but this box was basically perfect :)..

I went to Replay Games on Friday to buy a copy of Metal Gear Solid 2, I knew they had a copy there in mint shape, and it was going to cost me 14.99. I happened to go through 6.99 or less bin right in front of the registry and found the Metal Gear Solid 2 with the case in great shape, the manual in great shape for 5.99!!!

Needless to say I put the other copy back and got that one instead. The disc was flawless as well. I'll post a picture of it later tonight. I still can't believe I got it for only 5.99!!!

Metal Gear Solid 2 is dirt cheap in the UK. I got it for £1 in CeX and it's in good condition. Finding one in good condition in itself in the UK is a unbelieveable purchase! Haha.

Just bought GT4 Press Kit for 85$ shipped.

Not my video, but it shows how does it look like. Now I am wondering what should I do - keep it or sell it, damn! :)

I got a Playstation 3 20gb Backwards Compatible Model with a Bluray Drive for free! It started to screw up discs so my co-worker was just going to throw it in the trash because he bought a brand new PS3 Slim that morning, I asked if I could have it and he said sure, he'd bring it in on Monday for me!!!

Its broken, but I figure get the drive fixed and then I have a Playstation 3 that can play all Playstation Games . . . and all I have to do is pay the cost to fix the drive.
