[quote name='ZxT Vendetta']Easy Gamerscore game right there. :D 1K in like 4 hours. I am waiting for it to drop around $10 to pick it up myself :)[/QUOTE]


i just want it to get the " Punch a Horse to Death " Achievement for 100g but ill snag it when its bargain bin for the easy 1K eventually. but, thats also what Gamefly is for, quick couple of day rentals on the easy Gamerscore games.

and whatever happened to Gamerscore on Xplay.. he was an idiot but kinda funny as well... they should bring him back.

Todays random thought has been brought to you by the letter G and the number 4.

I borrowed it from my friend just for the Horse Puncher Achievement myself :D

I suppose I could just borrow it from him again or rent it for a day... Although I am collecting xbox games again. ;)
 
Be careful about getting DOD soon guys, because a developer of the game posted on GFAQs that they only shipped 66,000 copies of the game and all have been shipped out already. So what is out there, is all that's going to be.
 
I believe this is the right place to brag.

I ordered a copy of Final Fantasy III (US) for SNES from Amazon, and the seller e-mails me telling me he found the manual/map that goes with the game, and asked me if I wanted them. I said sure, and he said he'd throw them in for free.

21 dollars shipped, manual/map/cartridge.

Damn yes.

Ah yes, GameFAQs.. where all the developers hang out...

Print run won't dictate the price. Consumer want/demand > supply dictates that. Seeing as how this is readily available on multiple sites I am not worrying even a little bit. Plus if I was investing my money in something it sure as hell wouldn't be on videogames. Besides most shovelware doesn't go up in price. If anything it goes down.
 
"Beast" and "$44" definitely do not belong in the same sentence. Perhaps not even the same paragraph. I know I just broke this rule, but it was necessary.

Not if F_T has anything to say about it. He pays top dollar for those sick ass games. Shipped!
 
i think he was referring to the color matching beastman from he-man. on a side note the watch is actually pretty decent looking, i really do like the color, but i like orange colored items.

DoD could have 1,000 print run and still be in stock for the next 10 years. its already heading for bargain bin. and its terrible. the only reason it sells is as a booster title for gamerscores. initial print run i guarentee was more than 66,000 unless its a shovelware Wii game or an obscure title. to even market the title let alone get it air time on Xplay to demo along with the marketing would cost them more than printing 66,000 copies. gross profit at $60 would be 3.96mil that just makes no financial sense, i smell BS.

I found a watch just like that in my $12 pair of Adidas from Walmart.
 
I havent really bought much in a while but I recently had a garage sale and made like $250 so I decided to spend a little on my self.

the 80's want their shoes back FT, but some nice pick ups man, HOWEVER.. PLEASE tell me you didn't drop $25 on Section 8... thats a $5 pickup on eBay. its terrible and a dead zone for players
 
[quote name='Fire_Thief']I wish. It's cool for not having any bills though.[/QUOTE]


Really? I thought you had a cell phone, and a vehicle? Don't you have to pay for a cell phone plan, and insurance?


I'm sure I already know the answer, actually....
 
Metroid-Other-M-Boxart.jpg


Finally had it in my Gold Box for $46.03. Factor in the $20 video game credit and I couldn't pass it up for essentially $26.03 for a new first party Nintendo game.

Finding any Vans in 14's is a miracle. I remember having to go to the store and just walk past all of the cool shoes out on main display. I'd buy the 4 pair of shoes they had in 14's on the racks separated by size, regardless of what style they had, and come back in 6 months to do the same.
 
where you get the sakura wars movie. i want it i want it i want it

Been searching for a SNES for quite some time now. I've seen several super sets pop up in the past few months, but they all had discoloring and were outrageously priced. Saw this one and pounced.

I'd like to see the comparison between outrageously priced and what you paid :lol:


It's amazing what you are able to dig up.

Killer Instinct is one of my favorite games of all time.

Very nice find..Im jealous of the Killer Cuts soundtrack alone. I remember listening to that thing all the time when that game first came out.
 
[quote name='Vulgarism']I'd like to see the comparison between outrageously priced and what you paid :lol:[/QUOTE]
Most sellers list super sets (the one with SMW and two controllers) at around $750+ BINs, but they usually wind up selling for around $400. The lowest I've seen one go for is $200, highest is $850 for a VGA graded (70) one. However, all the ones I've seen thus far were discolored, sadly. I wouldn't pay that much for a yellow/two-tone SNES, even if it is sealed.

And yeah, I remember torturing my dad with the KI soundtrack in the car back in the day. KI is one of the main reasons I wanted another SNES. It's a shame it hasn't shown up on either VC or XBLA.
 
RDR, MW2, BFBC2, Orange Box, Halo 3, JC2 - $65 eBay
Lego Indiana Jones 2 - $12.99 eBay
Alan Wake - $22.99 eBay

Singularity/Transformers: War for Cybertron - Goozex
Component Cables for my Wii - $6.86 Monoprice

Didn't think I was going to get the bundle from eBay, got no shipping updates on the tracking for about a week, didn't see anything today either, then it just got delivered today. All mint with the exception of Halo 3, which has a few light scratches and manual is a bit banged up.

Bundle was too good to pass up, rest I bought because BCB's ending soon.

Bad pic of Alan Wake, dunno where the guy got this one from, has no UPC and says display only on the case. Has an unused DLC card though.

They let you use 10% off coupon for on sale items. Sweet !
 
Just got received some packages(that's what she said?) from a couple of CAGs.

Metroid Prime Trilogy(sealed)
One Piece Unlimited Adventure(missing manual)
Skies of Arcadia(missing manual)
RE Code Veronica X(GC)

Also did a bit of shopping and picked up FF Dissidia for $15 at EB new. Also, if anyone has spare manuals for the aforementioned games, I'd love to trade for them . :)
 
[quote name='hiamiyumi']They let you use 10% off coupon for on sale items. Sweet ![/QUOTE]

They always let me although this guy actually said it probably wouldn't work since they were on sale, and lo and behold, scans it and takes the money off. The coupons always work, its just the CSR's and Managers that don't want to hurt their bottom line that refuse them. This is why i usually find a CSR who is younger and probably doesn't care about their job.
