The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread

[Joe Redifer]

Oooooo That is killer! I hope it's user friendly.

[BlueBMW]

Nice Beamer! Tax check?

Aye

[Corredor X]

Got this last week, it's a special edition that was only released in Latin America called GOW Omega. It has the three PS3 GOW games (Collection, Origins and III) in a nice steelbook case and a bronze-looking statue of Kratos, made by an argentine artist.

A few of the purchases from the last two months or so....



Always wanted one of these.  Only took TWO months for it to arrive out of Japan.


Anyone know if there is a English guide/walkthrrou for PopfulMail?  Also, is there a difference with the graphics playing it with an Arcade card verses the Super System card?  The manual shows both....


More games...Most expensive was the SNK Vol. 0.

[Bernie]

I believe the only difference for Popful when using an Arcade Card, is the load times. 

Here is a guide.  It's two parts.

Thankyou Bernie!

In case you didn't recognize the name on the FAQ, it's our own Black Tiger.

Was down in Jacksonville today and show this on Craigslist. Couldn't resist:)

Not gaming related but a good find for a graphic designer guy like me.. A Mac Pro dual core   

[FiftyQuid]

Bought 4 plane tickets for a 7 day all-inclusive in Montego Bay, Jamaica today.  No pics, but this thread was getting to me so I had to post something!

@Sparky - If you tell me you got that dual core for $10 my head is going to explode.

[Joe Redifer]

Sparky, what year is that one, do you know? Mine is from 2006 and it's still going strong. I have 10.6.8 on it but it can run up to 10.7.x. Can't run 10.8. But really 10.6.8 is the best for now. You can put an ATI (I think) 5770 graphics card in it and it will help A LOT.

Fifty, I sure can use those tickets right about now:)

[NecroPhile]

If ya want more oomph, Sparks, drop the second xeon in there.  They ain't worth much (~$10).

its from 2007 it has an NVIDIA Quardo 4500 graphics card and 16GB or 18GB of RAM (i am at work and forget already)
its a 3.0ghz dual core processor..... Its no clunker

@Fifty, not going to say what i paid for it as you just might put me on ignore

[NecroPhile]

For use with the psp go, I snagged a crimson red PS3 controller (Target exclusive rarez!).

My rarest Sega item is Daytona Netlink...  so that's my guess.

Nope - a Euro Sega SC-3000 in complete in box!



Also picked up:



and some other goodies (yes I know Project Sylpheed blows but it was 2 bucks CIB, haha)

[Mathius]

How much does Master of Darkness run these days?

How much does Master of Darkness run these days?

I managed to get that one CIB (damn near mint condition actually) for about $30 shipped from the UK; lucked out big time. I've seen it go for $75-100 CIB.

Just set your eBay alerts for it and it pops up every now and then, though you'll have to wade through all of the Game Gear copies that pop up.

[Digi.k]

ah man all this retro stuff I should get back into it..

grabbed this baby up yesterday.  Mini one.

You can get the gamegear version much cheaper:)

I need Trans Bot sega card.

[NecroPhile]

More goodies for the PSP Go in the mail today: composite cables and a cradle.

[bartre]

picked up a handful of goodies yesterday:
Shadow of destiny PS2
Trapt PS2
Gurumin PSP
Street Fighter Alpha 3 DC

and a PSP Go, because god dammit Necro.

that said, Gurumin is hella fun, i would heartily recommend it to anyone who plays PSP games, and likes the Ys series (developed by falcom)

[roflmao]

I picked up a few Game Boy games recently:

Super Breakout - I LOVE Alleyway on the Game Boy and hoped this would be more of the same.  There are enough differences that I just can't get into it.

Tetris - Ahhh....  This brings back memories.  I never personally owned a Game Boy, but bitd I had an Express and my 6 yr old little brother had a Game Boy.  I remember playing the hell out of Tetris on my little brother's and other friend's systems.  I've had the NES version for ages and I don't know why it's taken so long to get this version.

Solar Strike - I've had my eye on this for awhile at my local used-stuff store and galam recently mentioned in my Super Game Boy thread, so I finally bit the bullet.  So far I've only been able to make it 2 or 3 levels in, but I really like it.  Simple and challenging, yet still feels fair.

Wish I could post that I've picked up more obey, but I don't see it out in the wild at all where I'm at and I'm not actively seeking anything online right now.

[Bernie]

Got a couple goodies lately.  From the man that posts the biggest pics ever.....







And, an IFU from BlueBMW.    Thanks B!

^^I love the old school Hobbit artwork^^

One of my favorite records I have is this...





not purchased today, but...

/turbo/scramble.jpg[/img]

[PikachuWarrior]

Goodwill:

Donkey Kong Country SNES: $1.50
Mario All-Stars SNES: $5.00

Resident Evil: Director's Cut PS1 (Greatest Hits): $4.00
Vagrant Story PS1 (Black Label): $12.00

The DKC is possibly the ugliest/dirtiest cartridge I've ever seen. Both plastic halves shift when you squeeze them together, and it's discolored, and dirty. It works/saves too

[Bardoly]

At 'People Play Games' in Chicago...

Cal Ripken Jr Baseball (SNES)
Super Bases Loaded 3: License to Steal (SNES)
- only 6 more carts left to finish up my complete SNES set -


a few boxed TG-16 games (which I already have CIC, so my trade/sell thread is going to be added to in the near future...     )

Addams Family, The
Blazing Lazers
China Warrior
King of Casino
Shockman
Sidearms

That's quite the trek to get there.  Sounds like it was worth it

I have been meaning to pick up Darkwing Duck for a while now. Quite possibly to just listen to the tunes. Yes. Quite possibly.

[liquitek]

Hit U and Int'l districts Pink Gorilla locations in Seattle last wknd during a much needed break from Comic Con.  I nabbed a sealed Super Puzzle Fighter II, I Spy (cart only), Super Mario Advance (cart only) and a bnib spare charger for my GBA Micro.  Forgot how good  Super Mario 2 is and how frustrating it can be.

I've never played it. Looking forward to it

  Picked up Xenoblade Chronicles for Wii today at Gamestop.  It was the only (used) copy in 100 mile radius from me.  They wanted $60 used, but I used a 25% off promo code for a sale they were doing this weekend, plus my 10% off Pro Member discount - I ended up paying $40 bucks for it!  Granted I had to drive an hour to get to that particular Gamestop, but it was a gorgeous day and totally worth it.  Also picked up Lollipop Chainsaw, Disgaea 4 and KoF VII for PS3.  Man, what a great day!

[RoyVegas]

Went to a few brick and mortar game stores in town yesterday.  As expected the prices were sad, one had Vasteel - $150, another had Neutopia II (loosie) - $90, another had Neutopia - $75.  I saved the one that's typically the worst at pricing for last.

I get there and their prices are still bad, a few things I could use but nothing I really wanted to shell out what they were asking for them.  On my way out the door I look to the right and they have a boxed PC Engine Duo.  It's been there for quite awhile and last time i was there (which was like 4 months ago) they told me they wanted $500 for it. And what do I see sitting on top of it? A US Duo!  This is the kind of store they always eBay things befor they sell you them, but this time there were 2 young girls at the counter.  She rings it up without checking eBay and I get a nice US Duo for $199.99!

/GameworldDuo.jpg

[NecroPhile]

Not too shabby, Roy.  Did you have to hit on the two young girls to creep 'em out, making them want to get rid of you as quickly as possible and not take the time to search ebay for pricing?

Sms fm mod arrived! No time to install until Wed., though :-/

I wish I had one of these re-sealer thingy's.  I'd be rewrapping all sorts of shit with it just for fun.  I wonder if I could re-wrap a lawn mower?

Nice score on the Duo.  Looks like it's in really good shape!

Did you get that from Tim in Australia? That guy makes killer stuff. I've bought like 8 of those things over the years.

[turbokon]

What does that do?
