August? Slow? Perhaps..

This month's acquisitions so far:

PS3. 40gb system. Couldn't find a 60gb as much as I wanted to.. Damn Sony and their lack of BC support!

:ps3: Assassin's Creed
:ps3: Conan
:ps3: Sonic The Hedgehog (And yes, I know I got buttfucked on this, but it was cheap, and I was desperately looking for something to play. Really desperate.)
:psp: Mega Man Maverick Hunter X
:br: Stir Of Echoes
:br: Spider-Man 3
:br: Dark City Director's Cut (If you haven't seen this, buy it. Now.)
:br: Simpsons Movie
:br: Underworld Evolution
:br: Resident Evil Apocalypse
:br: Rambo: First Blood Part II

Not a bad start for being 5 days into the month. I'm still unable to find Pirates Of The Carribean 1 + 2, nor can I find Brahm Stoker's Dracula, which was what inspired me to get bluray in the first place. The good news so far though is that a lot of the HD-DVDs I picked up last month have been announced for bluray release NEXT month, so lucky me, I get to rebuy them.. Sigh. I think FYE still takes tradeins!
 
A brand new GBA SP NES limited edition in box, sealed... the one I had always wanted, finally found it, and new

RE:UC for Wii 24.98 from target
 
Eh. I picked up Ninja Gaiden 2 for $9.82 or so off the retail site.. nothing else yet and I doubt I will buy anything.. maybe Mercenaries 2, but it looks more like a fun rental

They're the 3" high ones from this series. Picked up Mega Man, Red, and Zero. Not a bad haul for $3. Anyone else having any luck this month?

Take her to your basement to play tons of cheap videogames, she would love that. and hey maybe pop in some of those japanese borderline porn games (if you have them) to set that mood
 
No purchases for me thus far this month, but I'm contemplating the following:

Resistance-$20 with the Kmart coupon
Mercenaries 2-Blockbuster credit from flipping en masse
Dual Shock 3-Picked one up with the credit from trading my old fat PS2 to Gamestop and like $1.30 out of pocket. Contemplating if I wanna keep it or not though.

I picked up Tales of Symphonia: Ratatosk no Kishi, and Rei ~Gesshoku no Kamen~ (Fatal Frame) for Wii. Technically they came out last month, but I got them this month, thanks to Coke's instant win game. Both are pretty awesome games, and I don't think they come out in the US for another couple months.

Got them for $63 each. Kind of expensive, but there's no cheaper for import games...

your own? if so, congratulations!
 
This would actually be the ideal Honeymoon for my soon to be wife. I should have thought of that. She's worse at game collecting than me, and actually beat RE4 -before- me. Outranks me in Halo, too..

I'm so proud.

Two more beauties to the August pickup list:

:br: Con Air
:br: Brahm Stoker's Dracula (wooooo!)

purchases022mediumhu1.jpg

A bunch of books and DVDs. The Blockbuster used DVDs were 4 for $20 on the $10 DVDs and 3 for $20 on the $15 DVDs. Aside from the 3 novels the other 4 books are making of books for various TV shows I like, I'm not sure why I suddenly decided to start buying some.

purchases023mediumer5.jpg

My new 22" HP w2207h. It's an amazing monitor, and I'm really loving it so far. My previous monitor was a 19" fullscreen LCD.
 
today i got:
persona 3 limited edition used - $30
okami (ps2 ver.) used - $25
ultimate spider-man (ps2 greatest hits ver.) used - free; it would've been $5.99

was that a good deal, or did i get ripped off?

My cat checks out Rock Band.
