It's short but fun.

Uh to stay on topic I got

:gc: baten kaitos
:gc: splinter cell pandora tomorrow
:gc: splinter cell chaos theory

All complete for $2 each from craigslist.
 
May has been a great month so far. To add to my list so far I got all this stuff for FREE. Will tell why at the end.

Bally Astrocade system CIB
Astrocade rifle CIB
10 or so loose Astrocade games
Atari 400 system CIB
Atari 1010
2 early 80s Radioshack electronic games (shooting gallery and a murder mystery game)
Genesis system CIB Altered Beast edition
Altered Beast CIB
Fantasia CIB
Castle of Illusion
Streets of Rage CIB
Populous CIB
SNES system CIB
Mario World
Super Ghouls & Goblins CIB

Sounds awesome!? The reason why I got all this for free is that my uncle's house is going to be heat blasted for bed bugs. Extremely gross. He is throwing away mostly everything, so I thought I would try to save some stuff. My family was helping out with the cleaning. The games were in the basement so far away from the infestation. I also checked the games and the boxes for the little monsters and instantly put them in plastic bags with zippers ( I found none). The bags are currently in my garage for the first hot day to come just in case. I would take pics but I would have to take them out of the bags...

Nah, just use your normal ebay account, it works on all ebay sites. May be a good idea to double check with the sellers that they ship to the US though.

And regarding their gaming coupons, I've got $60 burning a hole in my wallet, waiting for the next good new release.

Wow, that is a nice looking copy. I have a less impressive looking paperback version (bought for a quarter), which I haven't read yet. However, my copy has the most hysterical illustrations in it.
 
Finally arrived from the 30% off gohastings sale, took 10 freakin' days :roll:, the longest I had to wait from them but the games look in great to good condition complete of course.

I've only bought one video game related item so far this month, and it wasn't even a game, but a strategy guide.

Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks Collector's edition-- $8 from an Amazon reseller, and the price included shipping. Yes, its the big fancy hardback bound guide, and it came brand new and sealed. Now I just have to get the game for it.
 
Stopped in Gamestop and picked up Metal Slug XX for the PSP and Valkryie Profile 2 and I asked If they had any plans for the Mortal Kombat or Gears of Wars 3 Standees and he said he didnt know as of right now but that I could take the LA Noire standee.

Amazon but I think it was fulfilled by gohastings, do you think they'd refund me or is it too late to do anything about it?
