    Digital game magazines 12 issues for $12 from Future Publishing

    While you don't have to wait that long after delivery, COVID can survive on surfaces for days. According to the CDC, it is a low-risk vector, but low-risk is not no-risk. I'm careful with my mail myself until it has sit for a few days, just in case the mail carrier or someone close to my end is...

    Digital game magazines 12 issues for $12 from Future Publishing

    Appreciate the heads up. I snagged a year of Retro Gamer. I really like their compilation issues when I catch them in the bookstore. Out of curiosity, is there any way to get this in a PDF format or something? If I can work with it outside an app, that'd be great. If not, no biggie.

    Select eBay Accounts: $25 off $25.01 YMMV

    Oh, thanks! I tried the code last night, and it worked, but apparently didn't it in my messages until today. Very interesting, indeed! Got a copy of Trials of Mana for $7, basically. :)

    The Gamestop Thread

    I could have sworn I posted something about their stock, but I guess I didn't. Anyway, it's likely a combination of things - lack of trade-ins, lots of people buying games, and so forth. They may also be holding at least some stock back for in-store, as it's not a great look to walk into a store...

    The Gamestop Thread

    My guess is that there's lots of buying during the pandemic, and not so much selling. So it shouldn't be surprising their game stock is way down. And with sales like this, it moves a whole bunch more stock out as well. It is unfortunate, though, that pretty much all the retro stuff under $29.99...

    The Gamestop Thread

    This is what I noted the other day. When I first ordered Nioh 2 as part of the sale, it counted, even when it was already discounted already. Same with Doom Eternal, although I didn't order that one. That changed the other day, and seems to indicate to me games that were already discounted were...

    The Gamestop Thread

    It may have already been mentioned, but apparently they changed the rules slightly with what games are eligible for the 50% off. I don't think they had intended for stuff like Doom Eternal or Nioh 2 to be included, but they were, at least the other day. I mean, I got Nioh 2 for $9. Nine dollars...

    NES Classic Edition (Refurbished) $49.99 & Super NES Classic Edition (Refurbished) $69.99 Nintendo E-Store

    Maybe try the Kirby games? Those tend to be very kid-friendly.

    NES Classic Edition (Refurbished) $49.99 & Super NES Classic Edition (Refurbished) $69.99 Nintendo E-Store

    It's not too bad at all. Of course, I'm a computer engineer by trade, so it's fairly simple for me, but the instructions are pretty easy, and there are lots of solid tutorials out there for setting it all up. Just make sure you get the latest version of Hakchi 2 CE (3.8.0 right now), and go from...

    NES Classic Edition (Refurbished) $49.99 & Super NES Classic Edition (Refurbished) $69.99 Nintendo E-Store

    I'd definitely give them a call if you haven't already. As for mine, of course it didn't survive a day without putting hakchi on there. Too many great games I wanted to put on there. There's also tons of space for them, given how small NES games are.

    NES Classic Edition (Refurbished) $49.99 & Super NES Classic Edition (Refurbished) $69.99 Nintendo E-Store

    My guess is that since it hasn't shipped, you can get one of them refunded pretty easily. I'd just contact their customer service, or see if there's an option to cancel the order in your account. There might be an option under the "My Orders" area.

    NES Classic Edition (Refurbished) $49.99 & Super NES Classic Edition (Refurbished) $69.99 Nintendo E-Store

    Alrighty, finally got mine in, and it looks very nice. Only slight marks around the USB port, which I'd expect, and the controller looks like maybe it was used maybe once or twice, if that. Also, boy is that controller cord short. I'll put this through its paces before I hack it, though - want...

    NES Classic Edition (Refurbished) $49.99 & Super NES Classic Edition (Refurbished) $69.99 Nintendo E-Store

    I would certainly love the original box, but I gave in and decided to snag one this way. I honestly don't need it - I've got nearly every game on here in cart form as well as an EverDrive - but it also brings a nice symmetry to my mini console collection, giving me NES/SNES/TG-16/Genesis/PSX. I...

    GameStop Memorial Day Sale - Buy 2, Get 1 Free on New Games and Much More - 5/22-5/25

    Drats, definitely stuff I'd want out of stock already. Ah well, not like I need more to play right now. Back to my retro gaming!

    Best Buy Cyber Monday 2019 Deals (Yes, GCU stackable)

    Surprisingly, I didn't buy a ton this year from BB. I got Spider-Man: GOTY and Guacamelee One-Two Punch. It's definitely going to be a bummer when my GCU expires on the 27th.

    Humble Bundle Thread

    I'll probably skip since I have SOMA and Momodora, but Momodora is legit.  I bought that full price, and it was absolutely worth it.

    PSN Flash Sale ends 7/23 @ 11 AM ET/8 AM PT

    That's what I keep hoping for, too. I snagged a lot of RPGs in that sale. (Of course, I already had them on PSX, but hey, being able to play them portably on Vita is pretty cool!)

    Humble Bundle Thread

    Humble was declining even before IGN got hold of them, in my opinion.  The golden age of bundles is definitely over.
