Yay, new addition to the gba collection.
The price tag is the old price, it even had the old receipt in the box:P
12 years later i bought it for 7.23€

Now i got almost all the most relevant games that Wayforward made for the GBA.

On Amazon, I grabbed Princess Mononoke (DVD). I didn't grab the blu-ray version, because the US never got a blu-ray release for some stupid reason... and the UK version is region-locked, and the Japanese version costs triple the price to import (another time, when I'm richer). Great movie still, but good grief, DVDs look horrid on a 40 inch HDTV... especially animated films, because the pixel artifacts become so much more obvious.

I also ordered Halo Reach because the copy I picked up a year ago from Blockbuster (when they were closing) was unreadable by my 360... I could've sworn I tested the disc as soon as I got home, but apparently not. The fact that the Blockbuster clerk said I couldn't return it if there was an issue and swore up and down that the games were guaranteed to work makes me even more angry. But oh, well... At least it's a rather cheap game today, and I was able to grab a disc-only copy since the case that came with my broken Blockbuster copy is in fine condition.

Enjoy Halo Reach, it has one of the most perfected Multiplayer experiences I've ever played. Story wise, I enjoyed it but most people don't like the Noble 6 Story Line.

Also firefight mode is a blast, it's basically Horde mode but with scoring and all that.
Oh, and if you ever decide to (or already picked up) a new copy of Combat Evolved Anniversary, you can redeem the code to play all the Remastered Halo 1 Multiplayer levels in reach~

I've actually already played 1, 2, 3, Reach, 4, and Anniversary before. I've just recently been replaying them with my girlfriend since she hadn't (and she loved 4 when it came out). I had to rebuy them all though, since the copies I've played in the past belonged to my brother, and I've since moved away from home.

Hooray, the figma came today. Came in the original box that the PSP game also came in. Now I actually want the PSP game too, even though I don't have a PSP. Just for the complete package.

On ebay the figma and game together cost around €90 ($124). Got the figma for €45 ($62), and the game is around €30 ($40). So if I decide to buy the game later, still a pretty good deal.

Gonna 'play' with it tonight after work, which is about 7 hours from now. Can't wait :D

Got my Razer Electras today and...HOLY CRAP they sound awesome.
I'm no audiophile, but they are so amazing with some dubstep at high volumes. No distortion, good build quality and all in all nice headset. I got them for like 30$, so the price wasn't a problem.

I got a barely used Xbox360 slim from a friend at work (still had the stickers on the drive tray and the controller) with kinect, and 15 Xbox360 games of various genres and ages from another friend at work for a bargain price of ...........

£0.

Yes, £Zero, free, bubkiss, nada, fuck all.

I couldn't make them take my money.

I, too, bought a bunch of games from the PSN flash sale.
  • Crash Bandicoot
  • Crash Bandicoot 2
  • Spyro the Dragon
  • Spyro 2
  • Spyro: Year of the Dragon
  • Back to the Future: The Game (bundle includes all 5 episodes)... You know, It's a bit annoying that each episode stands as its own game on the menu, rather than all being loaded onto one game. That's how other similar episodic games work, so why not this one?
  • Retro City Rampage
  • Braid
I also bought a dozen fresh-baked cookies from the local Cookie Company less than 10 minutes from my house... So good and hot, and they go perfectly with my girlfriend and I's long weekend gaming sessions (complete with milk, of course).

Finally, I bought a couple songs off of Google Music... I won't share which ones they are because... I don't know. I've always been intensely private about the songs I'm listening to, and I'm not quite sure why. :unsure:

Noticed the Easter sale on PSN yesterday. Got Tales of Xilla for €15, Tales of Graces f for €15 and Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch for €7. Pretty good deals they got. Also got some DLC for Soul Calibur 5 and Disgaea D2 with the leftover money. Might buy some more games on the Easter sale, depending on my mood and which games are also available.
Also bought GTA 5 for the PS3 a while ago, mainly to play GTA Online with some friends.

Also bought The Humble Weekly -- Oh Man, You Should Totally Check That Game Out! bundle. Paid $10 so I could get Tower of Guns, which seems pretty fun.

The Misaka Mikoto figma also came in today, which is absolutely amazing! It has alot of possibilities for poses and comes with different hands, faceplates, and some accessories.

Bought afew things today
Mario kart for the DS bought from Ebay, $12.00
-snip-
Well I received my Mario k DS today in the mail. I wasn't very happy at all with the quality. It was listed in good condition and this is what I received. Looks like a 3yo chewed it up.lol anyways after complaining to the seller about it. He gave me a full refund and told me the game was free of charge:tpi: . It also wouldn't work at first until I cleaned its contacts but after doing so it works fine. So free game I'm happy!!:grog:

Nice! Maybe a case transpland would be worth it, if you still play this game a lot.
