The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread

[TheClash603]

Bought a "door buster" Westinghouse 50" 1080p 60mhz tv for $350 today.  I am sure it will be junky, but it will be a decent step up from the 36" CRT Sanyo currently in my living room.

It was odd, I showed up at Target at 9:00, there was a huge line, but they had them hidden in the back.  I nabbed one of the last 3, so I think I lucked out considering I didn't have to wait.

You better keep that CRT around for retro stuff!

The Trinitron in my game room isnt going anywhere.  My gf doesnt allow the normies that only see our living room to know I am uber game nerd, that stuff all stays locked in the game room.

Not gaming related, but worth a picture

No Black Friday shopping for me at the stores, but I made some good pick ups today from a former collector off of Craigslist. I left out the games I bought for my secret santa recipient. I'll definitely be going back after the holidays.

I know you can use PS Move for Time Crisis, but how does the Guncon 3 work with the game? Does the Guncon 3 come with sensor bars or does it just use the Move camera? Also, how accurate is the gun compared to the move?

Anybody know about this?

My buddy and I just played through Razing Storm tonight using Playstation Move - frankly it works about as well as the Wiimote as far as tracking goes (when compared to say, Wii House of the Dead Collection). Slight delay when aiming the cursor but not too bad frankly.

I haven't tried it with the GunCon3 but plan to pick one up at some point.

[BlueBMW]

I played Time Crisis 4 on PS3 with the Guncon 3, it worked pretty well.  It has sensors you put on the TV.

  I'm pretty giddy about this purchase yesterday.  A local game shop was having a half-off sale for The-Friday-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named, and I had to jump on this cart.  I've been looking for this 5200 cart for oh, 12+ years now.  Amazingly they recently got a copy but it was too expensive for me.  I've been daydreaming about it and buying it at half-off, it was affordable.. expensive but still a good deal.  In the last 10 years or so, I've only seen about 2 come up on eBay ever.  Last one sold for I think $350.  It just is not out there, at all.  Finally my Atari 5200 collection (one of my favorite consoles) is complete!

[TheClash603]

Just watched a video of the game on Youtube and Bounty Bob Strikes Back actually looks to be a good deal of fun.  Congrats on the purchase, I have been on multi-year game hunts myself and it is always a great feeling to find the item.

...though now you may wonder if your life still has purpose.

[nectarsis]

Some Black Friday goodness via Amazon, and a couple stores...best part, the amazon order came in a week early lol

  Clash, I just happened to see an auction for this 5200 Atarimax 128-in-1 multi-cart.  I have the same one and it's f'ing great.  The seller wants $165 which is very good deal imo.  It's got everything.

Thanks for the heads up.  I am too tapped from Black Friday to buy this thing now, but I added it to my Watch List so I have a reminder to look in the future.

I have been thinking of hoarding some CRT tv's myself. I dread the day I can't play a pure game of hogans alley.

Picked up ninja gaiden 2 boxed and almost mint. Also dragon quest 8 for ps2.

How much in USD ?

[FiftyQuid]

Less than a fiver for all 3.  Killer deal.

[Ji-L87]

How much in usd ?

You can always use google to get a quick conversion:
Just write "**gbp in usd" in the search field. For example typing
5gbp in usd will give you this message "5 British pounds sterling = 8.0105 US dollars"

Very handy to have, converting between feet and cm/meters and so on also work.

[bob]

That google converter is excellent. I use it all the time

At Goodwill:

TI-86 Graphing Calculator for $8.00

[Mishran]

I found a TI-85 at a goodwill for $5 one time. Took it home and put batteries in it, but it wouldn't power up. Opened it up to see if I could figure out what was wrong with it. The internals turned to sticky green goo for some reason. Worst 5 bucks ever spent. Well second worse after Energy for PCE of course.

[Bernie]

Picked up these this week.

Ok, question is...what DIDN'T I buy today.  Did a bit of hunting today and yesterday.
I think I smell a loose genny cart raffle coming up soon!

Neir is so under rated. the game is awesome. I still need to finish it. 4 times actually. Everytime you beat it, you unveil more of the ending.

[FiftyQuid]

@galam - Anticipation, man... I haven't thought of that game in a long time.  Never played it myself, but I remember people renting it at the video store I use to work at.

It's terrible.  It was in the same bag as Shinobi, so I was forced to buy it.

I agree, Nier is one of my favorite current gen games and while it's got some weak spots I really really enjoy it.  Plus the soundtrack for the game is just amazingly haunting sometimes.

[VestCunt]

Galam - make sure you put that Max controller to good use. And play Jeopardy!

Nice picks Punki!

Stick with Fiend Hunter, it's a bit slow at first, but I think you'll like it!
Now is that the same Slime World that was on the Lynx????

For Cross Wiber, take it slow and think China Warrior. It's a REALLY pretty game, but the game mechanics are of the REALLy retro-variety. You'll love the graphics.

[liquitek]

I stopped by Staples yesterday armed with a Cards Against Humanity pdf.
$21.37 to get it printed on 100lb weight card using the color printer and they're going to cut it as well.
Anyone played this game?  I haven't.....yet!

[PukeSter]

I traded 5 PC engine games on here for a Virtual Boy with Mario's Tennis. I haven't gotten it yet, but it looks sweet! Here's the picture.

My NES collection has grown from 10 games to 15 now.  Got these on Friday.  I'd like to get Bubble Bobble and then I think I'm done with NES for a while.  Well, I did ask my Secret Santa for a few NES items...

First things first  .
A long time ago I got a SegaSonic the Hedgehog PCB - and this thing has a suicide battery like this   :

Thanks to Rossyra (arcadeotaku) and his ROM burning skills the PCB is finally suicide free    :

Yesterday I went for a "little" trip  :

I love outfoxies. Rewarding "trip".

[Opethian]

damn I been wanting Outzone and Dogyuun back for years. how much that haul set you back?

[Ji-L87]

Dang, consider me officially "jelly".

Myself, I've been picking up some stuff over the past weeks/month(s)...


About those Mega Drives, one seems to have problem outputting a stable image (picture rolls when connected to TV, sellers mentioned possible sound issues) and the other one...must be an Asian PAL unit or something, because I could play my PAL copies of Sonic 2 & OutRun with it... :s
Neither the SFC or the MDs will give a proper image with my scaler, so perhaps I need to shop for a syncstrike unit.

Also picked up an PCFX game because...well...I was hoping that would make me get one faster :p Perhaps?

Oh and a free, small sofa from work. Now I can have friends over properly!

NOTE TO SELF: Stop looking at this damn thread. It just makes me lust for things I can't have.
