Post every time you buy/trade something Part VIII

Few pick ups today

WoW Burning Crusade - 99p I hear this has a one time usage on the code but it's complete and A. Looks nice on my shelf, B. Has some kickass artwork and C. at the very least I can flip it on eBay for replacement discs/box

The Sims unleashed - £1, again complete, probably something I'll flip on eBay.

FFXI Online - £1.99, cheapo and is a two expansion pack kit, it's complete and looks good so maybe ill give it a crack.

Just Cause - £2.99 Cheap and a fantastic game, complete too. Played it for a while and ill probably put a good few hours into this one.

Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl - £4, might've over paid for this but I hear its a great game and was complete, so I was more than willing to pay for what it likely is on eBay.

Managed to find a Dead or Alive: Kasumi C2 figure for $40 at a store 30 minutes away from where I live.



Lylatwars (Starfox) + Rumble Pack CIB and Vigilante 8 CIB

Just won a Korea edition Super Mario RPG cart from ebay. $25 total. Of course not something I was after, but no one else bid at all. I didn't feel like competing to get USA for that price.

Nice and a plus that its in english.

Pretty normal to not have much effort put into their console releases. There is a korea fan translation, no idea how complete or accurate...

I bought Sonic All Star racing from Amazon Japan this week. I'd put off buying it for a very long time because the 360 demo has pretty bad frame rate issues. Amazon were doing it cheap though so I ended up buying it and to my surprise the final game has silky smooth frame rates! And best of all it plays like a dream. I pent 3 hours on it today. I had so much fun. It's been a long time since an arcade pick up and play game has kept me happy and wanting more. No doubt I'll be on his all week now. Poor Batman has been push aside and Witchen 2, well..... that was starting to annoy me anyway.

Nation Red (4 pack) @ £4.79 via Steam

That's 4 copies for less than the price of one, it includes co-op mode, works with my Xbox 360 controller and features zombies. Even if the game sucks, how can I refuse that? I gifted the 3 spare licences to my co-op nagas.

Alex Kidd is in the game! :)

Alex Kidd is in the game! :)

He sure is :). Many people slag Sega these days but IMO they put out more great games than Nintendo do. I bet most of these people who slag Sega have never played anything of late. Sega All Star Racing really is good quality fun. It's just a shame that the shitty demo would have put so many people off buying it. It put me off for a very long time.

I've been buying books lately for some reason. I want to try and build a little library of important literature. In the last couple months I've read "The Great Gatsby", "The Prince", and I'm almost finished with "Slaughterhouse Five". Next up is "1984", which I've read before. And today I bought Plato's "Republic" and also "The Brothers Kasmorov" sp?

Bought two Sega Saturn Taikenbans lately.


Monster Sliders Taikenban (sealed)



And the Sakura Taisen Teikokukagekidan Taiin Meibo Disc:




Very glad since both of these are crazy rare (and Sakura Taisen was pretty expensive too) and I've hardly seen them for sale, ever (never seen a copy of Monster Slider until today).

[Yakumo]

I've got the monster slider disc somewhere (not sealed) but yeah, I've never seen that sakura taisen disc.

[Juste]

Just great ave!

I got woke up with a text to buy First Encounter Assault Recon 3 (stylised F.3.A.R.) @ £3.25 via GameFly by one of my co-op nagas this morning -_-

It wouldn't be so bad but I'm knackered after staying up late last night, though now I can complete my set as I already own the other F.E.A.R. games.

I also bouught a Coolermaster GX 750W PSU and another nVidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti for some SLI loving. Now to save hard for a bunch of monitors for 4098x768 3D vision surround -_-

Ah ha! You went with SLI! You made the right choice on that one!

Oh nice! I thought you got rid off your Hibaihin/Demo collection when you put up that big lot on Yahoo. Or were those just your doubles? Never let go of Monster Slider, I didn't know about it until a few days ago but after a short inquiry with Madroms it seems like it's really, really rare. He said on Satakore.com that he's only seen it twice in the past 5 years or so. Not expensive at all though, I paid 222yen for my sealed copy, hahaha! But then again, I only paid 100yen and 500yen for my mint Nissan Collection Video CD's and they beat every $700 Delisoba Deluxe to pieces in terms of rarity.

Thx Juste!
You must have a pretty impressive collection yourself, I guess. How come you never posted it? :)

[Jamtex]

Legit : How do you find time to play all these games you download? It either seems you have too much time on your hands or you are buying games like they are going out of fashion. :p

Do they? There are still a number of places I know that have boxes of these for a few hundred yen sealed...

[LeGIt]

Ah ha! You went with SLI! You made the right choice on that one!

Yeah I was looking forwards to a GTX 690 - it launched the day after our trade, then I saw the price -_- it was £300 higher than anticipated... sod that. I went for SLI to tide me over until I can afford a whole new PC but there is a rumour the 670 launches tomorrow which is tempting but I'll pass for now. Kepler would have probably matured by then so the GTX 760 may be my next GPU (660 isn't even out yet) :P I do find the HAF X-M quite tempting though... a HAF-X without the comedy size - nice! I think I'll buy one soon and save it for later.

Both but believe it or not I'm not gaming too much right now - none of this 16 hours a day hardcore stuff of old anyway, maybe upto 8 hours or so if that and only if my co-op nagas are online and in the mood.

If I see an interesting game at a tempting price BAM I'm in there, especially if it has co-op modes and/or works with my xbox 360 controller. I only recently completed Borderlands but I bought it around 6 months ago, maybe longer. It just takes a while to get around to playing most of them, but it is better to have them cheap than not have them at all :P

It'd be nice to have another job and PvP when I get home but those days are possibly behind me now =/

Got two PS3 games for a bargain:



I was planning to keep GT5 XL Edition sealed but the disc was loose inside. So i had to open to secure it on it's place.

[ave]

Are you sure? They pop up really rarely on yahoo, if at all.
In case you see one of those boxes with sealed copies for a few hundred yen, can you buy the box and send it to me? I'll pay good, and yes, I'm serious about it!

Thank you. But no, I don't have much, and think collection grows quite slowly, and is incomplete mostly. But I will try to make collection topic in near future.
