I hope I'm not usurping MarkMan's tradition, but I took a pic for the pick up post and realized it's not august anymore! So let's get some pics and discussion up here.

Try for real photos, not stock stuff or just lists, and talk about any deals or cheap ass prices you paid for the stuff, if possible.

Some of this stuff is august (actually all of it, but i'm posting in sept) but who's keeping track?



Beyond Good and Evil - The gamecube version, the best version, the version I've been on the lookout for for a while. $12 at gamecrazy. Pretty reasonable.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption - Incredible game, got $5 off with expired coupons at BB.

Bioshock - $40 used at Gamecrazy with 20% off coupon. I'm ready for when I get a new 360.. this thing taunts me everyday I can't play it, though.

Silent Hill 2 Greatest Hits PS2- A good $7 spent at GameCrazy for the best version of this game. Awesome horror title.

MetalStorm- NES - $6. A local store finally had a copy of this game. Very detailed graphics and smooth animation for an NES game. Basically a sidescrolling platformer where you can flip gravity at antyime, making for some creative level design. Plus the name is awesome.

Persona 3- Full price, from PSP/DS trade in bonus credit at EB. We all know how good this game is.

Also:



It's not a game, but got a 6 week old Siberian Husky puppy this week. It's our second husky.

this thread fell on it's face. people would rather post their own threads, I suppose? this always catches on on NeoGAF, you'd think a shopping website would latch onto this concept..

Depends on how many CAGs you predict buy games on the first day of every month

Is it just me or am I too lazy to post pictures of things I buy

Yard Sales are the way to go - check out the 2007 yard sale thread. There's some serious goods to be had (mostly old school) and at dirt cheap prices

Amen to that!

Breath of fire IV - Complete
Crash Bandicoot 2 - Complete
Crash Bandicoot 3 - Complete
Ridge Racer 4 - Complete

$15.00

Let's all make this a month of deals.

I did forget to post a pic of something I got from a thrift store- A copy of the Dig, an old Lucasarts Adventure game. Maybe I'll get pics up with the next batch of purchases. It was only $4 and was complete with strategy guide.

And about BG&E, the GameCube version was the lead platform and has the best framerate, textures, and controls, IMO. The xbox version had screen tearing and the PS2 one loads slower and worse textures. I am forgetting the PC version, though. With a good gamepad that may be the best.

it was actually last week but heres what i picked up:

hoshigami used for ps1 $20
lumines 1 for $20
rogue galaxy ps2 $14
phantasy star universe 360 $15
madagascar nds for $2
re4 gamestop le edition new $25
skies of arcadia legends ngc new $29
dark cloud 2 new $19
final fantasy 12 le guide $10
f-zero snes new for $9

Technically P3 and Metroid were purchased in August, but Metroid arrived in my mailbox on 9/1, and my Family Video Persona order will likely arrive sometime in the month of September, so this is fairly accurate.

LATE AUGUST PURCHASES

Bioshock CE w/Figure - $69.99 - had trades from back then and didn't have to pay anything

Persona 3 w/Artbook - $44.99 at Frys

Metroid Prime 3 Courrption - $49.99

Great game, but the XBox version is the best. It has an extra side story that's quality in it's own right.

But you can read the sidestory plot on gamefaqs afterwards, so don't sweat it.
