Alright, I haven't done one of these in a while.. but here's from the last week (Since I won't post in March =P)

Cosmo Black 3DS-

Super Street Fighter IV 3D-
IMG_20110401_120914.jpg


Couple things from Amazon (Dragon Quest IX was Warehouse Deals, Family Guy was Gold Box yesterday, Haunt.. Well, that was for me)
IMG_20110401_115848.jpg


These are also from Amazon, I was pondering them forever, finally bit the bullet-
IMG_20110401_115822.jpg



So that's all for now!
 
To above poster: Please remove that pic of the 3DS for your own safety. That Bank of America paper behind the box probably has some info on it that you don't want the internet to see.

EDIT: Just noticed that it's just a NCAA bracket lol. Still, better safe than sorry.
 
Today at lunch I went to a couple of pawn shops and found...

:ps3:Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II= $14.99
:ps3:Ghostbusters: The Video Game= $10.00(no tax)
:ps3:Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction= $10.00(no tax)
 
D:
You lucky bastard. Mine never has any CEs left over. We have one Bioshock 2 at 29.99, but I kind of question if that one is even worth it :/

New Vegas and FO3 I would totally jump on, though.
 
IMG_0419.jpg

Amazon, Amazon, Amazon! Weird right? ;) I bought the XBL Sub card off a friend for $25 :)


IMG_0418.jpg

Snagged the Helghast for $65 (after $15 in PUR Coupons), DJ Heros from GS sale


IMG_0417.jpg

Won Aerosmith for free, Borderlands from GS, MoH from Gamefly, DW7 from GS, 3rd Birthday from Amazon, Mindjack from Amazon Warehouse Deals


IMG_0416.jpg

WoTS 2 from Amazon, Dual Hearts & Space Channel from GS, RE from K-Mart for $3 (I had $12 of pts), and the only GH in my whole PS2 collection (due to extras) from Ebay.

IMG_0415.jpg

Got Tron, Narnia, Fockers early :D
The rest were $5 each :D
 
So here is my story:

I was looking around Amazon the other night and stumbled upon this ---->

9sryn4.jpg

So I didn't hesitate and bought it. It came via UPS today, after only two days (which was a pleasant surprised since the expected delivery date was 4/5-4/8).

I open it up, and boy oh boy was I shocked. The console itself looked pristine. The cables and controller were still sealed. It seemed like the console was only tested to see if it worked (which after an hour of testing, I have concluded that, yes indeed it does).

The best part of this "buy" was that even though the product description mentions what is included in the box, is that they also threw in a sealed copy of Uncharted 1 and a brand new PS3 Blu-Ray remote. The biggest kicker of all is that I could tell they tested the system before selling it because, when I turned on the system, out of the PS3 popped a copy of Modern Warfare 2.

Is there a wall of fame around here? I think this deserves to be on it!!!

Everything that was in the box (the smudge on the PS3 is from my crappy cellphone camera) ---->

Do you have the others?

I could never find boxed versions cheap enough, so all mine are just the controller:

I think the Akuma one is the coolest.

Where did you get the pokemon games from? And with boxes you lucky bastard.
 
[quote name='iiinightmar3ii']Where did you get the pokemon games from? And with boxes you lucky bastard.[/QUOTE]

They came from my childhood :D Pretty much the only games 10+ years old that I kept the boxes to. I guess I should have specified that that image wasn't actually a pick-up but just stuff I had laying around, hah.

When you post, there is a picture icon that looks like a landscape with a sun. Click that and copy the link where you uploaded your image to. If you haven't done this use imgur to upload with.
 
Pick-ups from the end of last month and the beginning of this one :)

Let's start with the easy stuff:

[quote name='Cheska19']Yes.[/QUOTE]

its weird the jean grey statue reminded me of the x men movie i saw today. I got to say you kinda look like rogue too me.So while i was watching the movie i kept thinking about the tester. and i happen to run into you kinda weird
 
[quote name='Cheska19']

And finally, my current obsession!

DSC00192.jpg


I finally jumped on the bandwagon, and at this rate, I don't see myself ever jumping off. This thing is a beast, and I literally carry it with me everywhere. The smartcover was a genius plan, and not only does it fold up and act as a mount if you want it to, it also cleans the screen everytime you cover the Ipad2. AND it automatically turns the system on and off :D

[/QUOTE]

I want to get the Ipad2 soon. I'm giving my current Ipad to my friend. I like the smart cover but i kind of want a case that will cover the back too.

Are you talking about Anna Paquin? I hope that's a good thing lol.

Forgot to post a couple more items, so I'll take more pictures later tonight.

Yea the actress. I bet you could pull off rogue if you were to cosplay as her.

That was initially my biggest irk, but I actually have a neoprene case I put it in, and then that goes in my purse. So far I've had no scratches on the back, and the front is the part I really care about. Plus, they haven't made any decent dual-sided covers for the Ipad 2 yet :(
 
[quote name='Cheska19']Aww shucks, thanks! ^_^[/QUOTE]

What is "The Tester"

It's cool to see a chick that loves video games and anime.
 
[quote name='jaydepps']The Tester is a show on the PSN.[/QUOTE]
This. I was one season 2 of it.

[quote name='dan13l858']

I pick up a few things from WonderCon on Friday.[/QUOTE]

You went too!? :D I was debating picking the plushies up, but I ordered them off the SOTA store for half the price, so hopefully those go through.

Yeah, i saw it advertise a few days before the convention. I'm kind of shaky if SOTA actually has the actually Capcom versions of the plush. Capcom is notorious for not releasing their plushes or items to the mainstream. I assume that it's probably vinyl versions of the figures due to the different in prices. Anyways, if they're the same i will pick a couple more of the plushes.
