The Official August CAG 2010 Pick-Ups Thread

[quote name='lmz00']In total, or just sealed?[/QUOTE]
Total, although from what I've seen of your pickups, I always imagine you have one open system and then working towards one of every variation of the systems sealed.
 
I'll just go with the sealed stuff, since it's far less complicated to list:
SNES - 3 sealed (Super Set, DKC bundle & KI bundle)
N64 - 3 sealed (DK64 bundle & 2 Atomic Purple controller bundles)
Dreamcast - 2 sealed (black box version)
PS2 - 1 sealed (39001)
Game Gear - 1 sealed
NES - 1 sealed (original Action Set with gray Zapper)

The NES is the only system that I've never owned prior to buying a sealed version. As for all the others, I still have my originals, some of which are duplicates. I just started collecting in January by accident, so it'll be a while before I have everything I want.

Darn if I had met you 5 years ago you'd have a Halo 2 LE Blue (Canada only) sealed Xbox and a LE Green Xbox sealed (was some weird Canada combo again but not Halo related).

Classic case of the pot calling the kettle black. Not that I think your purchases were bad but yeah he shouldn't be one to talk. :roll:

We got the clear green one in the US, but it was packaged with Halo. I was so anal those days that I never even took the plastic off of the console. I just cut a piece off of the front so the disc tray could slide in and out. :[

The clear blue one is sweet, though. The only one I've seen on eBay is a Japanese DOAU one.
 
Js, did your copy of Versus come dented/scratched?

Amazon sent mine in their cheapest cardboard mailer; I have to call their CS line and have a word with them about that shit.

Mine came in fine. I had it packaged with the Jet Li movie and a book as well. BTW, I did not even know they came out with a Blu version of Versus already. How does it stack up to the ultimate DVD?
 
These were actually from last month, but, since I haven't posted in a while, they'll be part of this month's pick ups. :)

Metroid Prime Trilogy: Got from a trade from another CAG.

Tales of Vesperia(sealed): Gamestop and EB just got a whole bunch of reprinted copies for sale last month and sold them for $35.

Ico and Katamari Damacy: I bought these two from someone on eBay. The auction was originally just for Ico, but the seller mentioned that if the game was purchased using Buy It Now, he'd throw in a copy of Katamari Damacy for free. With a BIN of only $15, I'd be a fool not to bite. Ended up paying $20 shipped. :)

Step Brothers: Bought from Costco for $13.

Got these Peace Walker Mountain Dews from Dv8's lowball sale. It took about a month and a half for them to get here via ground shipping, but they were totally worth the wait. :D

And the biggest purchase is my brand new iMac that my parents unexpectedly bought for me. I didn't even have to ask for it! I guess it's my reward for not asking them to buy me anything in years. It even came with a free 8GB iPod Touch with a mail in rebate. It's just too bad I just bought an iPod Nano a month and a half ago. :/ Oh well, I guess that one's going to my mom. :)

It's been getting delayed for the past 4-5 months; I've had my ship date pushed back like 4 times within the last 3-4 weeks.

Can't say anything about the picture yet; I haven't opened either.

Awesome job! Totally jealous! I paid about $80 for mine and it didn't even come with the box. :/ Also, I've never seen that box for an X'EYE before.
 
I havr the opportunity to buy a Turbo Duo w/ games for $80, but idk if I wanna spend that much. I am gonna go back next week for a few more Jaguar games (like White Men Cant Jump, Wolfenstein, & Missile Command 3D tho.
 
O ya, I also forgot to list one other thing. I got a PC Engine Duo-R. No cords, controllers, & according to the guy, the disc drive dosnt work. But I have no way of testing it & it was free, so whatever.

I am undecided on Knight in the Nightmare on PSP... I had heard the touch screen was a huge part of the DS version and after I finally got to play it... I am wondering how they are going to change it for the PSP version. I will still probably get it on PSP but not at $30.

On a side note I have a few pick ups myself. Pictures coming later this evening :D
 
[quote name='lmz00']F_T wouldn't have let his video just end like that. Step your game up, bruh.

I thought you couldn't get unemployment if you got fired? Unless he was laid off, I dunno what the full story is.
