Just in time for Marvel Vs Capcom 3. $30! Anyone know how to clean up the body?

I tried windex and it didn't even affect it. Either, very happy with it!
 
Try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser; takes off anything. Just use it gently, or it could take off color or something else unintended.

How'd you manage to get it for $30?
 
Magic eraser, maybe some nail polish remover if its sticky. If non of that works you could always give it a light sanding as put a coat of spray paint or vinyl dye on it.
 
Got a new camera:

Purchasing manager for the family business. I just got a 33% raise at the start of the year so I have a fair bit of spending money. However after the small window next month of new games the spending is being curbed because this is my planned big purchase next year sometime:

Scratch that PS3 bundle from Amazon. They sent me a beat to shit PS3 with scuffs on the console with no controller or games and a corrupted HDD. Whoever is running the returns section of their warehouse needs their frickin' eyes checked.:roll:

Returning it tomorrow with a pre-paid label from them.

Here's what I've picked up from February so far.

Can't really see it, but the two game carts on the Club Nintendo DS Cart holder are Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and Justice for All. If anybody knows a decent place to get cases/inserts for those two, please let me know. I found one for Ace Attorney on eBay, but I purchase the cart for 3dollars, so I'd rather not spend 7 for the case.

Oh and that plastic thing in the top left is a bunch of random swag from Aksys Games:

  1. Limited Edition BlazBlue 2 disk Soundtrack
  2. Hero's Saga Laevatein Tactics Folder
  3. Guilty Gear XX Core Soundtrack
  4. BlazBlue Official Comic Book
  5. A small BlazBlue Poster
  6. Hero's Saga Laevatein Tactics Art Collection Book
  7. BlazeBlue Folder
  8. A small Hero's Saga Laevatein Tactics poster
  9. 5 Commandervideo stickers

[quote name='Squarehard']Nice camera.[/QUOTE]

Thanks; it's a Nikon Coolpix L16; it takes decent photos, but the auto-focus can be pretty shit, and the camera says the batteries are exhausted all the time, yet if I put them in a 360 controller or something, they show up as full.
 
Traded in a few games last night and walked out with the following:

picture.php

Please forgive the horrible pic!! It was $60, which only like $10 was out of pocket. Not a big fan of the series, but IT'S A HUGE LE!! :lol:
picture.php

I was actually able to grab 3 packs of tarot cards!! All I had to do was pre-order Infamous 2 and Ico/SOTC collection!!
picture.php


This was from a CAG:
picture.php

I was TOTALLY surprised at the actual size of this thing. It's like 3 times the size of a normal psp game! In perfect condition too! Considering how much people are asking for on ebay or amazon, I thought I got a pretty good deal ($50 shipped)


And this last one isn't technically a pickup from this month (my wife got it for me for Christmas), but I just had to brag:
picture.php

This is pretty much the coolest thing I've ever seen.

When I was opening this I expected to find some type of Game Boy. Imagine my surprise when this little fella popped out. I had never played it before and I need to replace the internal battery it's kinda cool.

Found a sealed: The Nightmare of Druaga: Fushigino Dungeon (PS2) at a mom and pop store I frequent for 7.99, is this game worth anything?

Not even worth 10 dollars. If you decide to try it out, make sure you have some aspirin. The game will tick you off.

haha, figured as much :lol:

Thanks for the heads up!
 
[quote name='Jesus_S_Preston']Why are those UMDs clear? I've only seen white ones including my copies of those games[/QUOTE]

Gamestop tends to replace the original UMD shells with the clear ones.

Given the clears ones are much better and sturdier, it isn't the original shell though. :*(

Some other stores that sell used games might do it as well, and some people have kits to replace some of their own UMD shells, but for the most part if they come clear like that, it means they've been replaced.

One of the gamestop employee by my area was nice enough to give me the tarot cards for Tactics Ogre even though I didn't pre-order it.

Hyperdimension Neptunia finally came in yesterday. It does bug me that it had that bulge on the left side of the box.

Something underneath seems to be poking up. It is reallyfucking annoying
 
[quote name='ROB64']Geez, just looked on ebay and people are selling those tarot cards for as much as you'd pay for the game.[/QUOTE]

I got 3 myself, but giving 2 of them to other people.
