The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread

[SuperPlay]

Wow, I didn't know they tried to make it look like an old style case with a spine card.  Did anyone else do that?

Did it actually come with a spine card or was it just made to look like one?

Well spotted,  I have never thought of this layout being an attempt at duplicating the look of a spine card.  This is only on the back of the case and it does not continue to the front cover.

Many of the later Hu Card games came in clear backed cases and had similar artwork.  For example Bomberman '93

[Opethian]

the reason it (resembles a spine card) is that the bar code is not present on the round back stick so its on the spine card like CD games in jewel cases.

[SuperPlay]

That makes sense

[Tatsujin]

Did it actually come with a spine card or was it just made to look like one?

I think SF2' is the only huey to come with a spine.

So this isn't a real spine? What about Populous?

yeah, populous is the 2nd one. so that makes lil two in total.

the MC fan edition has no real spine. it just comes in the generic jewel case like all the newer hueys.

I'd like to get the GBC Magical Chase, but that's too much $$$$

Sorry, took this pic with my 3DS:



Here's the 3D version of that picture if you want it.

I preorded that game, I thought it came out Sunday?

[Joe Redifer]

It does.  It arrived in stores today (obviously won't arrive on Sunday and Saturday deliveries cost extra) and I know a guy.  It's a good game for sure.  Maybe a bit slow and the butt-stomp is gone, but otherwise it's pretty much what you'd expect.

I don't really understand Nintendo's Sunday fetish.

[munchiaz]

^ yea its weird how its on Sunday. the best part about it though is the game has to be shipped early. so you dont have to wait for places to get there shipments on Tuesdays. Also 24 hour stores (like walmart) might have them out at mid night on Sunday.

Skyrim for 360. Got it yesterday, but was too busy playing to think about posting. This game is so worthy...

[A_Locomotive]

Picked up two CDs tonight at a show. First is by the band The Stars, its titled either Mill or Will, its written so strangely I can't tell. lol The other is a split cd between 9dw and Boris called Golden Dance Classics. Took a gamble(a rather expensive one at that since they are imports) since I've never heard any music from either CD but am familiar with everyone but 9dw so I'm guessing they are gonna be fantastic.

Is it worth a try for any one that's new to the serise ? Just asking,since i never played one befor and i'm all most finshed my frist run on dark souls.

[DragonmasterDan]

I don't really understand Nintendo's Sunday fetish.

My understanding is that it's so that they can make sure that stores even in the most remote of areas in the US will all have received their shipments and will be ready to "launch".

I bought my brother that Pokemon CD when we were kids for christmas. Its a fantastic CD, he still listens to it. Only now instead of through a crappy boombox he blares it from his cars tricked out sound system. 

[Samurai Ghost]

Got a great deal on this lot of PCE stuff. Some of it is not in the best of shape but eventually gonna try my hand at Retrobriting those white PCEs, controllers, and multitap. Nice to have the PCE box/manual as well. Hopefully I can pass some of this stuff on to someone who wants it one day! Building up a pretty good stock of PCE hardware/software to freight back to the US.



Also picked up a boxed Neo Geo CD in pretty nice condition! It was a steal.

I've been a huge fan of the 3DS since it's release, I almost picked one of these up so I could have a second one...  but I restrained myself.

movies were so much more fun when they had real special ffects and actors and not all this boring cgi. special features from new movies now shoudl be like "behind the scenes" and just show some dudes at computers

[Arjak]

I didn't buy this today; in fact, it's been a while since I got it, but it's still something I should mention:

I now have a Commodore 128 computer. It is awesome.

The story:

My mom got an email from what is basically a local Craigslist that told of someone trying to sell this bad boy, and I, being a collector and player of such things, was told about it by her. I asked if I could get it, and she said yes. We sent a couple emails back and forth, went to the guy's place, and I bought his Commodore 128, complete with monitor, disk drive, printer, and software, for $50.

The moral:

My mom kicks ass.
