Picked these games up at a yard sale and helped a kid be able to pick up Dream Drop Distance with the money. The kid was so excited.

I bought Devil Summoner 1 from Glyde for $56, it was supposed to be in excellent condition but the case was really beat up and the disc had some light scratches. At least the manual is mint, looks like it was never read. I already replaced the case and cleaned up the disc, luckily it reads just fine.

It's crazy how expensive Raidou is compared to the other PS2 games nowadays. I remember when Raidou was the only PS2 SMT game you could get for under $20. Now it's the only one that you can't get for under $20.

Wave Race: Blue Storm for 5 € used at Amazon. I considered the wave physics at WR64 as very good, but this... Probably as difficult as riding a real Jet Ski

 

[nny]

WoW players, you know what this is, and it finally dropped, after months of running it every day.


And finally, I have discovered Joe's Crab Shack off International Drive in Orlando.
Amazing. Uh-mazing.

 

[entremet]

its best to not think on how much youve spent on it lol anyway n64 stuff showed up

N64: Wave Race 64, Star Wars Shadows of the Empire

N64: Bomberman Hero

edit: no idea why the images are so big i shrunk em down but still showing up big

Forgot how nondescript the PC titles for n64 were. If only Sony would learn from that.

 

[grap3fruitman]

I used to enjoy these a lot and just picked them up for $5 each.

 

[shungokusatsu]

Finally got around to getting some posters framed.

Picked up Sleeping Dogs and just nabbed BF3 for $16 from today's origin sale.

When I woke up this morning I didn't expect to be the recipient of this little gem:

 

[Auron_Kale]

Another volume of manga...

 

[canocha]

A few Wii games

• Sonic Colours;
• No More Heroes;
• House of the Dead Overkill;
• Rune Factory Frontier.

 

[tHa_vIlLaMaN]

It's been an expensive 2 months for me, but I'm happy with the results!

Got a new watch. Fossil Twist

I got this GS3 to replace my iPhone 4S in July.

And the biggest purchase of them all: a Canon 17-55 f2.8. If this lens was any sharper, it would be dangerous!

Then finally, some glass for my glass: A B&W Kaesemann polarizer

 

[j0hnny_385]

And the biggest purchase of them all: a Canon 17-55 f2.8. If this lens was any sharper, it would be dangerous!

Oh man, congrats! You got yourself one of the best lenses ever made for a Canon DSLR. It's been in my wishlist since forever but I just can't afford it.

 

[Quake1028]

Went from a Galaxy Nexus to this since my work now pays for my phone service, and I had to switch from Verizon to AT&T as a result:

Used it to take these pics:

Thanks! It really is great.

I got this one because I'll be using a crop-sensor for the foreseeable future, so this is effectively my 24-70, since the real one is way out of my price-range.

 

[InfectedZero]

A bunch of new stuff!

Free Second monitor for helping a friend move! haha

For every game that I beat I buy a case for it Journey to Silius WILL BE BEATEN TODAY(I hope). I beat this bad boy last week for the first time ever in my 24 years of life.

 

[Danielsan]

A bunch of new stuff!

You're really making me jealous with this post InfectedZero! Awesome stuff all around!

 

[Aguirre]

Some cd...

where?! how? where!??!

 

[xJavonta]

A bunch of new stuff!

Got a source for the wallpaper on the primary monitor? And nice pickups! I'm extremely jealous of all your SNES games haha

 

[Locke562]

Still in the process of moving in, but I got some Journey and Ico prints.

Thank Gaffer Danielsan! I PM'ed him after he posted his sexy SNES pickups with his awesome camera and requested for this awesomeness.
PAL SNES Controller

I also plan on making it a print

 

[Izick]

Still in the process of moving in, but I got some Journey and Ico prints.

Nice! Beautiful floors!

 

[Parfait]

Still in the process of moving in, but I got some Journey and Ico prints.

I must ask, where did you get the prints, or if you had to make them yourself, where can I get the art to do the same?

 

[Quick]

Best Buy had a deal going with the Vita last week that bundled it with Uncharted: Golden Abyss. Picked up MLB 12: The Show and a 16GB memory card.

Went to Fan Expo in Toronto this weekend, they had PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale available to play, and anyone who played got a PS+ 30-day trial. The people I went with didn't really care for it, so they gave me codes, as well as me jumping back in line. I eventually won a game, and the prize was the Killzone 3 Helghast Marksman from the Helghast Edition CE. Today being the last day, I guess they overestimated the stock they had and needed to get rid of them, so they were giving it to anyone who got near them.

Sleeping Dogs - GREAT GAME.

And that last picture is of Stan Lee's autograph. Nuff said.

 

[Dwayne]

A bunch of new stuff!

47MB of images, no wonder this thread is so slow!

 

[Locke562]

I must ask, where did you get the prints, or if you had to make them yourself, where can I get the art to do the same?

I got the hi-res art from either the December 2010 or January 2011 pickup thread and I had a living social deal for vista print. I got $50 worth of print work done for $5.

P.S. don't use vista print. That's the largest poster size they had. Just find a local print shop somewhere and give them the jpegs on a disc. I'm probably going to get them printed in a larger size at some point.

Still in the process of moving in, but I got some Journey and Ico prints.

Those look fantastic! Hope your moving in process is going smooth.

Just bought this, on it's way to MA from California:

If you don't mind me asking, how much did Stan Lee's autograph cost you? I am going to Dragon*Con this weekend and he will be there signing. I want to know how much to bring if I want to buy it. Don't want to be an ass, but he is not long for this world

 

[Crazy-J]

Some non-gaming items.

Nikon 24-70 2.8 Lens. Sharpness and clarity on this thing is ridiculous!

Intuos 4 tablet.

 

[Deefuzz]

Picked up some tasty seasonal beverages:

Picked up Transformers and finally renewed Xbox Live Gold for a short spell.

 

[leftstick]

Waiting for boot camp the wife and I have moved in with family, and with no rent and decreased bills I have actually had some spending money.

I know that it's dumb to buy video games that I won't play for a couple of months, but oh well.

The covers are from the "Alternate Cover" thread.

$50 for each item. Don't expect to have a chat with him, though.

I'm assuming it's his people, and not Fan Expo's, that kept an eye on him, and they weren't exactly nice or gentle about you getting anything more than the actual autograph. After he signs, his people automatically try to get you out of there without hesitation.

 

[DeVeAn]

I want that vita case but, not the whole stater pack.

East Coasters always complain about all the candys are on the west coast. Well, just pay to freight them.

At VitaGAF's suggestion, I had a look at EB Games for it used, and the one store that had it was a few minutes away from me and had one left.

 

[Ban Puncher]

Hori Persona 4 Arena Stick PS3

Samus Zero Suit figure

Yotsuba&! Danboard original recipe and 'Yoku Dekimasita' version figures

Ghost Sweeper Mikami SFC

Rockman 2 and Goonies on Famicom


Busy day at the front door with delivery people this morning. Been after a copy of GS Mikami and a Danboard for a while so fairly chuffed to finally get my greasy mitts on them. Found the Famicom games at a garage sale I was walking past for 50 cents each.

 

[Theonik]

where?! how? where!??!

I think the Konami Style online shop.
Probably used a forwarding service, also I'm not sure the one available right now is the same disk or there was an LE.

 

[isual]

I bought Devil Summoner 1 from Glyde for $56, it was supposed to be in excellent condition but the case was really beat up and the disc had some light scratches. At least the manual is mint, looks like it was never read. I already replaced the case and cleaned up the disc, luckily it reads just fine.

Yeah, 56 bucks is still a premium price to pay for a discontinued print game.

 

[Vipershark]

I hope these images aren't too big. Please don't quote the entire post!

I picked up a bunch of stuff in the last few weeks.
Let's get started.

No, this wasn't $19.99.... the box on display was snapped in half so I asked the girl at the counter if she'd trade it out for a good one so she gave me this one.

OH MAN AN AGS-101

...wait what's this

Crap.
Tried turning it on, got nothing. It would charge but wouldn't power up even when plugged in.
I think it's fried. Oh well, if the screen still works I can use it for something I've been planning...

Next up, two DMGs.

Both of them were extremely dirty when I got them. This is the after picture. Both have the latch snapped off of the battery door.
The left one works but has some dead pixels:

This might be fixable, I'm not sure. DMGs are sometimes finicky about this. Also it looks like the PO may have tried to disassemble it at one point because all but one of the triwings have been removed.

The right one has a RADICAL screen protector (I'm assuming the POs were brothers and used that to differentiate them) and has too much corrosion on the contacts so it won't power on at all under battery power. It works if I plug it in, so I need to disassemble it to clean the contacts.
The screen has a huge amount of dead pixels:

I'm not sure if I can fix this.

woah is that another AGS-101?
It came with THPS3 and Lizzie McGuire 3 welp

OH MAN IT WORKS YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Why am I nerding so much over the AGS-101????
Well, if you don't know what it is, the AGS-101 is a hardware revision to the GBASP that introduced a legitimate backlit screen. The screen is SO BRIGHT and the colors are just amazing.
Let me show you some comparison shots of why it's so good, next to an original SP.
Low Brightness:

High Brightness:

Dark Shot:

(except you can actually see it not-on-camera)
As you can see, the screen is just infinitely better in every way. The AGS-101 is by far the best iteration of the gameboy ever and they're relatively rare and expensive to get. I got mine for cheap though and it's al-

Crap.
The PO bedazzled it. I think this is stuck on there with super glue. How am I going to get this off.

Grape GBC. Came with Kirby's Pinball Land and AW YEAH Pocket Bomberman this game is awesome

Secret bonus: These were in the GBC's battery compartment!

They still work! Nice! Fortunately I have a charger I can use them on

Atomic Purple GBC.

Another DMG. The entire battery compartment was corroded and it only worked when I plugged it in. I'll have to disassemble it as well. I think this might have been sitting in someone's basement for years or something because all of this stuff was completely covered with soot. It was inside of an official Nintendo Carrying Case, but I'm probably not keeping that because it was kind of disgusting.
Came with:
Tetris (Kinda dingy. As you can see, the label is peeling off at the bottom corners so I'll have to reglue that but the cart is also turning brownish...?)
Power Play Football (Doesn't seem to work)
Dr. Mario
Official Nintendo 4-player Link Cable attachment (What GB games use 4-player...?)
Official Nintendo Charger
This is the only DMG that I've seen with this sticker on it:

Lot of 9 Game Gear games.

Sonic
Sonic 2
Sonic Chaos
World Class Leaderboard Golf
Clutch Hitter
Super Monaco GP
Pac-Man
Columns
G-Loc Air Battle

Another (yellow) DMG. It was extremely dirty. Came in a clear hard case with Rugrats Time Travelers, Roger Clemens MVP Baseball, and a bunch of rechargeable battery stuff. Speaker appears to be dead.
I think the case was some kind of thing that a game boy was bought in because it fit the gameboy and games perfectly and had nintendo stamps and a (different) DMG serial number and bar code sticker on it. I'm not sure what was supposed to be in the bottom left compartment but it wasnt the batteries.

PSX. Came with (badly spraypainted) controller, cord extender, composite cable, and power cable. Unfortunately a late model with no serial port on the back. I'll have to find another with one.

I found an independent book store that sells videogames (aka the only independent video game store in the entire city (state???)) and got these:

Monster Rancher Advance 2
Wario's Woods
They had a pretty good selection and decent prices so I'm definitely going back. I found something pretty rare there... I'll get it one day.

 

[Pietepiet]

I'm not sure if I can fix this.

Usually applying some pressure where the ribbon cable for the screen connects to the board should fix the problem. That's how I've fixed a ton of DMGs with this very issue

You can also put a piece of cardboard between the casing and the part where it connects, so the pressure stays on it.

I also had this case, my transparent DMG came in it but it looked like this. They probably sold them along the colored versions.

 

[CoachKevin]

That is the way to do it!

Yep, basically $390 to ship it out, but at least I can stop looking all over for a second candy cab.
