Spent way too much this November, but kept on going haha. Took this picture for another site so I may have posted a few before but, it's been an awesome month for steelbooks. Managed to get a lot of unexpected ones this month. Especially the Sony Steel's, saw a post in the deals thread, to check Dollar General and I found Battle: LA, the Resident Evil's and Karate Kid for $6 a piece. The Universal's and Total Recall were from Wal-Mart on Black Friday and the other three were full price.

Yay for Black Friday. Although, I think last year was much better.



Bought these for my Dad. Bought another Blu Ray Player for my Parent's room. I don't think my Dad likes the Kindle much, but we'll make use of it. 



This year was definitely a DVD/Blu-Ray year. The majority of these were 3.99 cept for Women in Black, Parker, The Tourist and Resident Evil Retribution. Those four were 7.99 and 9.99 each but were B1G1 respectively.



Got Pacific Rim and The Conjuring, my two favorite movies for the year. Got Arrested Development S1-3 at Target for $8 each. Regretted not buying it last year, so I jumped on it when I saw it on sale. Same goes for Firefly for $5.99. Was going to see if the entire Community series were going to be on sale, but it wasn't, picked up Dragonball GT instead since BB had a restock.



All of these were from Wal-Mart. When I got there at around 9 in the morning, almost all the Blus I wanted were nowhere to be found. But with some digging in the floor carts and a strenuous search through the bins, I managed to find these for Dad. Thought I wouldn't find Argo and Dark Knight Rises but I did. The one I really wanted was The LOTR Trilogy, but for the life of me I could not find it. Seems like everyone really really wanted that. 



The only game I picked up at Wal Mart was the Ratchet & Clank Collection. Spent a long time looking for it but to no avail. Decided to go to the 19.99 Section and what would you know, I found a lone cased up copy there. Grand Theft Auto V was for $35 at Best Buy, picked that up a few days before Black Friday. Everything else was from Gamestop's B2G1. Dead or Alive 5 was filler, since I didn't know what else to get. :lol: Now I can finally finish FF13 and start 13-2.



Ignore Ratchet and Clank, from the previous picture. The rest were from Gamestop. Got the last copies of Tales of Xillia and Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale. Pleasantly surprised to have gotten the LE for Xillia. Bit disappointed that I got the GH for Ni No Kuni though.

Pokemon was surprisingly only $20. Weird set of Pokemon, though. Guy only left about 20 Pokemon in his game, but among them are Kyurem, Heatran, the Musketeer Trio, and Regirock.

I had gotten Season 3 for free months ago. These were all on sale for $10 each, so with 2 $10 bonus coupons and Backstage Pass, I paid about $16 for the whole series.

kimi kiss was such a good series, definitely one of my favorite romance series.

 
Kmart had Dualshock 3 controllers on sale for $45........picked up from the Clearance shelf a PS3 New Owners Kit for $30. Its got a DS3, a 6.5ft HDMI cable, and a 10ft micro usb cable. 

 


Got two of my favorite series. Kimikiss and Amagami SS, who coincidentally are made by the same people. :lol: Rest are blind buys. I expect myself to buy more from Righstuf this coming month.

 
My copy of Grind Stormer for Genesis came in. Was listed as very good on Amazon but came cart only. It is in good shape, but that's still annoying since description was vague. But the price was good enough that I'm not going to return it, even cart only this was a very good deal.

 
Got one of these. Going to try and get another. GTAV keychain.[attachment=1321:20131204_184408.jpg]

Never played any of these games before, excited to start Uncharted series.
 
£19 for all.. might buy some new cases though can not stand dirty old stickers from used games that don't come off..

Also, not really a pickup but I literally sold GTA V on xbox 360 on eBay tonight because I rarely play it, and honestly it was a bit of a letdown. Then my Uncle visits today from London and his girlfriend used to work for Take2 so she got me a copy from her friend so fair enough got a sealed new copy again..
 
No pictures, but both my WiiU bundles came in yesterday. I had bid on one but was expecting to lose and ended up winning a different auction that was about to end. Lo and behold, I ended up winning the other auction too.

Bundle 1:
- Wii U Deluxe w/Gamepad
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 2
- Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate
- White Wiimote

Bundle 2:
- Nintendoland Bundle
- Darksiders 2
- Injustice
- Resident Evil Revelations
- Batman: Arkham City
- Pro Controller
- Rockfish HDMI cable

My only problem is that I am running out of outlets. Already had 2 surge protectors going all full and that was before I got these bundles. Gonna have to plug the GamePad in a separate location.
 
MY NEW TV :D

I got a 50" Sharp tv on black friday. It was a bit bigger than I expected for my dorm room. I'm gonna have to rearrange my room a bit because I am currently sitting four feet away from it!

Nice Pick up on the BB figure Noel!!! :beer:

After spending 5 hours outside in 17 degree weather today waiting for my girlfriend and her sister to finish a 5k (it was a Christmas Story theme!), I convinced them to take me to a game store on the way back to the house. Picked up

X-men Sega Genesis manual- $1

Super Mario/Duck Hunt manual-$1

old ass Sonic happy meal toy (for the girlfriend)- $2.50

considered a Turbo Grafix 16 for $60 w/Keith Courage, but decided I don't feel like looking for games for it right now. Will regret that in the near future for sure.

at another store down the street, after lunch

360 (all minty fresh except for the cover art on LO)

Lost Odyssey- $2

Last Remnant- $2

COD MW3-$2

Secret Service-$2

PS3

Uncharted 3 GOTY- $2

Sega Genesis

Eternal Champions (cart only)- $1

Monopoly-$1

annnnnndddd....

Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn Guide- $1

I was mighty fine with those purchases. Passed on Rage (360) for $2 and a few cheap PS1 games (DBZ 22,  Suikoden, PE2).

 
I picked up Typing of the Dead: Overkill on Steam today. I quite enjoyed the first two levels. It's a lot of fun and makes me want to find the Dreamcast original even more.

 
Lots of crap today.

Latest Pick Ups of the Month.



Dropped by Gamestop to get New Blood after some Wii Price Drops. Saw Ju On while browsing the Wii Section. Since it was B2G1 due to Playcation, grabbed that and Blast Works. 

Finally got Fire Emblem from Best Buy's Cyber Week. Glad I got it during one of the site's various restocks. Definitely happy.

 
I think I may have gone a little overboard. I think there's like 3 things in the pictures that weren't picked up since the holiday season.

I understand the feeling. That last post of mine was all one day. I have bought about 5x-6x more than that since the start of Black Friday weekend. I do have most of the anime pictured.

And why the fuck do people keep buying Shining Hearts?
 
New pick up video.

Keep that Mr. Driller sealed! I am sure you will be able to find a cartridge copy to play.

Really like the videos. That store had waaay to many genesis games and I may have fainted looking at them. Cheers!

 
Not December, but better late than never. These are from PS4 and Xbox One launches, and the bottom pictures is of my Black Friday/Cyber Monday haul (I also got Harry Potter Kinect from the Microsoft Store sale, but I forgot to put it in the picture.)

Good point. Older sealed games might as well stay sealed becuase it's not hard to find cart only for many of them.

So many Genesis games.
