The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread

[NecroPhile]

In between smelling the sea salts at my ocean side condo on the east coast, and working at McDonalds and Taco Bell, my broke ass picked up:
CLD-2080 LD player

If you weren't living in a van down by the river, you'd be buying Blu-ray. 

Hellraiser widescreen Laserdisc
Hellraiser 2 Special Edition widescreen Laserdisc

Awesome.  No tears please; it's a waste of good suffering.

Nice scores Mike!! 

That DOTD Director's Cut is the Dario Argento cut, right? The one that has all the "comedic" scenes taken out, along with some new songs on the soundtrack? I honestly don't think I've seen that yet. 

Its the extended cut from the 1978 Cannes Film Festival showing that Romero put together before it was released in theaters. The theater cut is actually the directors cut according to Romero. They (Anchor Bay, Elite, everyone else) used to refer to the extended cut by calling it the director cut back in the 90's. Honestly don't know why??? Maybe they just assumed every time you added extra footage back in it qualifies as a Dir. cut perhaps, or felt applying that label would help sales?

Yea NecroPhile, I love the first 2 Hellraisers. The fourth one is pretty nice too, so I need to nab it also. I'm borderline on 3 as I wasn't too hot one some of the direction it took.

Ahhhh. The same thing happened when they released the Star Trek II Director's Cut DVD, with added scenes. Nick Meyer, the Director, calls its theatrical release the Director's Cut for the same reason as Romero stated above, since it was the one that was shown in theaters. The added scenes, or different takes, were actually shown on TV during the 80s. I guess adding those scenes filled the time in the television slot better, or something.

Ketsui was ported to the DS? Is there a tate mode on there? Ketsui is also making it to the xbox360 in japanese. Def the only recent game I'm excited about getting.

Thanks to the wonderful folks at risingstuff.com, I finally have one of these:


Which means I can finally play games on my projector that hates 240p:


A hundred inches of screen and every damn pixel and scanline is visible and lag free. I love it.

[Ceti Alpha]

Nice ooPo. The scanlines. 

[TR0N]

Ohh nice oopo the xrgb+ up scan converter is hard to come by.

Some times i wish i could get a hold of one.

[Arkhan Asylum]

Stop buyin all the dang yuna stuff!

Tired of people buying my girlfriend like that...

>_<

[Joe Redifer]

Might want to adjust the color on your projector there.

By the way, I think Streets of Rage 2's box art beats out the Japanese version's for sure!

[Tatsujin]

lol missa. catched the very same yuna game (teh A4 folder) today

[gundarN]

By the way, I think Streets of Rage 2's box art beats out the Japanese version's for sure!

It is kinda shite by Japanese standards.
Got my Jap Hellfire and Yuke Yuke Trouble makers today too.

Great buy. You might want to look into modifying it to accept scart instead of jp21 RGB cables. Scart cables are easier to find for your consoles and definitely cheaper than the japanese counterparts. I have the non-plus 2 model that's modded for scart, and it's the most important piece in my video game setup.

Got World Heroes 2 Jet for Neo CD and Double Dragon II for PCE. 

I love the NGPC.. wish I would have checked this thing out earlier.

[jboypacman]

I picked up a copy of Penny Racers Party for the Nintendo Wii.

That lot of stuff is drool worthy. Therefore, I shall commence teh drooling. 

[Zeon]

Actually got this stuff yesterday, but i didn't have a way of transferring pics from my cell phone to my pc until today. Oh and if anyone is wondering why I picked up Troy Aikman Football for genny, it's for hacking/experimenting purposes(and it was free to boot, along with the n64 transfer pak and 2 ps2 extension cables!) 

[WoodyXP]

That Genesis Arcade Stick is BOSS.  I love those sticks. 

[Tatsujin]

Isn't the package lovely?

sheer undescrible lovely

[mobiusclimber]

Yesterday I met someone in the mall to buy some stuff (I found them thru Craigslist). I got Silent Hill, Legend of Legaia, Dragon Warrior VII, Parasite Eve and Dragon Quest VIII for $80. While I was at the mall, I noticed GameStop had a buy 2 get 1 free sale, which is the only time I'll shop there. I bought two copies of Infinite Undiscovery and Okami for the Wii. I figure I can sell I.U and Okami and make back most of the money I spent so I can keep a copy of I.U. for myself.

[Turbo D]

Legend of Legaia is a really cool game, I really enjoyed it back in the day 

[mobiusclimber]

Legend of Legaia is a really cool game, I really enjoyed it back in the day 

I owned this awhile ago, thought it was a pretty good but not great game. Don't really remember too much beyond the pseudo-fighting game turn-based battle engine.

Most of this stuff is going to up for sale, actually.

Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia for Nintendo DS with Soundtrack CD

[Ceti Alpha]

My Blaster Pad came today!!  I haven't tried it out yet, but it feels great. I already know it's going to be getting lots of attention from me. 



She needs a little cleaning.

[Tatsujin]

blastlers are teh cool. have 'em also.

[oldskool]

And Justice For All

[SuperDeadite]

Valis Complete - PCE versions of Valis I-IV ported to Windows.  Also includes the Valis III Promo Video in MPEG format (originally released on VHS), art gallery, and the Yuko figure.  Too bad it doesn't include the MSX, FC, MD, and SFC games, but its still a cool package to have and it was cheap.

[gundarN]

I know it's a bit of a waste of money when I have the Dreamcast version; but I like my N64 better at the moment, and sits nicely with Sin & Punishment and Yuke Yuke Troublemakers:

[ooPo]

Excuse the bad quality picture, I just picked this up from a local kijiji seller:



A TG16 + booster, 5 controllers + tap, Military Madness and a loose Bomberman '93, plus some other minor games.

Cheap!

Holy crap that's a nice grab! How cheap was it exactly?

[Ceti Alpha]

Nice ooPo!! We're definitely going to have to sit down for some Turbo action sometime. 

[Ninja Spirit]

Bonus fun picture, seeing my reflection on the Gradius II CD

[nectarsis]

Glad you got em Ninja, hope you enjoy

[Joe Redifer]

[Tatsujin]

nice box. what do you will put in there later, joe?

[guyjin]

so what do you plan on receiving with it?

[rolins]

My supergun arrived in the mail today. Worked out great with the MV-1C and Metal Slug X I just bought. Very compact and clean, looks professionally made too. It's missing features, but for a newbie it should suit my need perfectly. I'll definitely need to buy a jamma extender harness because it's too tight to remove it off the pcb sometimes. I'm afraid of breaking the edge connector.

It is an addition to my home which, of course, is a much larger cardboard box.  Times are lookin' up for the Joemeister!

i like how the controllers and cords nestle in the keyboard groove for easy storage in an old 1980's entertainment center or under your bed 

[guyjin]

The O2 is nifty. I want one. I hope you have fun with yours (and if you don't, I'll take it off you ;) )
