[General Discussion] Recent Game Purchases, or what I bought instead of fourteen new dildos this weekend

Got a PS3 for Christmas which I am enjoying, exchanged the games selected for me (Genji, Untold Legends) for Resistance, a preorder of Heavenly Sword, and $55 Gamestop credit! Yes!

Also, I just bought a DSlite on eBay for about $10 more than in a store, including tax. It's a pretty good deal for a sold out item, I'd say.

Now I just need some PS3 accessories and a Wii. Both are sold out. Everywhere.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Next up: 3 more Wiimotes, 3 more SIXAXIS(es), a PS3 BD Remote, a Classic Controller, DS lite, 360, and games. Lots of games.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I got The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for Wii. My camera/Windows Vista is deciding to be a huge douchebag right now though.

edit//Also eBay fucker refunded my DSlite money and I never got it. I supposedly had to pay within an hour of the auction's end. What dumb shit.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Got Ocarina of Time, Pokemon Stadium 2, extreme-G, and extreme-G 2 (N64). Gamestop was having a buy one get one free sale on PSX and N64 games. Also got Metroid Prime with Echoes bonus disc and Animal Crossing without my damn Memory card >:\/!!

Both Animal Crossing and Metroid Prime aren't Player's Choice though so it seems like I got them when they first came out.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

EG 1 and 2 are good calls though.

They didn't have WarioWare ok!?!?!?! >:|!

I was speaking idiomatically.

Finally got a new controller by means of Wii Play. Now my Wii is slightly less useless in party situations. PS3 is still a party pooper though.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

And the matching component cables for PS3 and Wii.

Seeing the crispness of this TV actually makes me want to buy more games. The Ninja Gaiden Sigma demo made me thirsty for more. And its not even 1080p.

I really want Strikers and Super Paper Mario too.

FELIPE NO

Yup. Twin-sized bunk. I also have the floor model too right under it, but in a different direction.

Where did he come from? Maybe that's why my TV wasn't there this morning...

How ya doing, buddy?

Replacing games that were stolen.

Games stolen:

XBOX
Dead or Alive 3
HALO
Ninja Gaiden
Soul Calibur II
Robotech: Battlecry
Jet Set Radio Future

Playstation 2
Skygunner
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai
Virtual On: Marz
Grandia II

Gamecube
Super Mario Sunshine
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle
Viewtiful Joe

As you can see, I've replaced most of the good stuff. I don't think buying SA2:Battle again is worth it since I have it already for Dreamcast. Really, the only two games I still want back are Jet Set Radio Future and Skygunner, which will be Amazoned once I get settled in my dorm. I also might buy another Soul Calibur II, because the manual in the one I bought was useless, but I didn't want the nasty Platinum Edition case and boxart.

Also new Swapmagic for the win. I'm gonna buy games though so it'll be just for imports. Which I probably should buy too. And could. We'll see what happens.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Two words: Rock Band.

Next purchases: Folklore, Unreal Tournament 3, and the Eye of Motherfucking Judgment.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

SSBB and SM64 for Wii/VC.


What a beautiful sight.

Gotta cancel my old Heavenly Sword preorder and my SSBB one when I go back to Pittsburgh. I'll probably put one in for MGS4 or something.

I really want Audiosurf but my Boot Camp partition won't freaking recognize my sound.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

My copy of Skygunner was stolen. I need to reobtain that somehow.

If you're never gonna play that Skygunner and it's complete with manual and artwork, shoot me a PM.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

GTAIV son. I was surprised they let me buy it because I'm not technically 18 until September but I flashed the college ID so that might have worked in my favor.

Anyways, is nice. I want Metal Gear Collection and Mario Kart Wii though.

How ya doing, buddy?

15 hours for signed MGS4. Since I didn't really have a chance to play the other 3, I picked up Metal Gear Essentials the next day along with Odin Sphere and a used Motorstorm for $20.

Overall pretty good deal. I need to get Mario Kart Wii and some of the other PS3 games I want.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Got Persona 3 FES at normal price from Gamestop. Hate them but couldn't find it elsewhere. At least they didn't try to pull the "gutted game, but its new!" shit with me this time.

Toys R Us clearance got me Jeanne d'Arc, Parappa the Rapper, and Every Extend Extra for $8 each. Patapon was list price at $20. I also got 16 batteries for free almost cause I had to buy something else to use my $10 off $50 coupon. Was gonna use it on Mario Kart Wii but they didn't have it.

I still haven't found Digital Devil Saga though and I'm empty inside because of it.

FELIPE NO

My life is a little brighter now.


Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga: used, but complete, $39.99
The King of Fighters XI: used, but complete, $12.99

'Eyyyyy!!


Had to go to the Nintneod Store for this because it's sold out at every retailer in the known New World.

Next up: Digital Devil Saga 2, Skies of Arcadia Legends, Xenosaga II and III.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Shit Games I bought are Devil May Cry 2 and Drakengard 2 just for the sake of having. $9.99 and $12.99 respectively, used from Gamestop. Pretty glad though, the DMC2 was black label.

Good games I bought are Skies of Arcadia Legends, Pikmin 2 and Polarium off of eBay. I think $30, $18, and $10 or so respectively after shipping? I can't wait for the former two, since I've wanted to play them for awhile.

I bought Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions from Amazon a little over two weeks ago and i still hasn't shipped. I'd cancel and order it from the new dealer but then I'd lose my free two-day shipping since my Amazon Prime ran out. It's supposed to ship next week or so. I still don't have a PSP though.

Lastly, I really WANT Soul Calibur IV LE, but I need to buy my AppleCare soon so I don't know if it's worth it. I still have all of today to think about how I can patch together the money for both since I didn't reserve. Gotta wait for retards to forget they reserved it and not pick it up.

edit//Got Soul Calibur IV for PS3 today. Was around the corner from a Gamestop and figured I'd see if they had it and I lucked up, because they did. The salesperson tried to get me to sell him my T-shirt for $10 and I laughed at him. All the way out of the store.

I was pretty disappointed with the "art book" which was printed really badly and had a stupid tie-in comic? I was expecting something that was actually nice. Oh well.

edit 2//Got Ikaruga for Gamecube off eBay for $32 including shipping. I've wanted this for a while, and even though there's no way I'll ever 100% this game in my lifetime, it's great to know I can try (without being a pirate). Can't wait for that to get here.

My FFT also shipped, and with all the new PSP games I've gotten, I think it's about time I splurge and get a new one.

Next up: Playstation Portable Piano Black PSP-2000, Pikmin 2, Digital Devil Saga 2, Soul Calibur III, Kirby: Canvas Curse, etc...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Fairly disappointed.

I got home and got three of my purchases recently:

1) The FFT:WotL from Amazon is a Greatest Hits version. Not that serious.

2) The Skygunner is in only fair condition. The bottom of the case art is worn, and the case itself is in pretty shitty condition. The manual has a sticker that it looks like the seller tried to remove and couldn't do properly. On top of that there was some sort of grime around the disc that i had to remove with my finger. Common sense much?

When I tried to remove the sticker grime from the manual it ripped off a small patch of the paper so its just white there. The game is rare enough with the case and manual, so chances of me finding manual alone online are slim.

I'm kind of pissed over this one but it was only $15, so if I end up buying another one (which I probably will) it won't be that much of a loss.

3) The Skies of Arcadia: Legends was terrible. The boxart was wavy and the manual was wavy. The game had a significant amount of scratches. For something described as "EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH WAVES," this is pretty shitty. I'm not paying $30 for this and have asked for my money back. That was just unacceptable.

At least the Pikmin and Polarium were in great condition, although I was looking forward to playing SoL: Legends and now I'm fairly disappointed. Hopefully I get my money back and quick so I can try again.

Now we have to see how Jet Grind Radio and Ikaruga turn out. Definitely a lot more wary of eBay after this run-in.

edit// Ikaruga came today. Pretty decent condition. The manual has a few folds in it that I'm trying to flatten. Case in pretty decent condition but I just ordered a new one from Nintendo. Disc and boxart are fine, so I'm glad. Going to keep it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Devil May Cry 4 for PS3: $13 or $17.
Assassin's Creed for PS3: $20.

Mint condition used from GameFly. Like, perfect. I'm mad satisfied. The only thing is, I won't be able to play them for a month.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Got the GOTY after years of waiting. Gonna go play it until my PS3 crashes after class (if I can get it to turn on).

Actually, I got Devil May Cry 4 and Assassin's Creed for PS3, No More Heroes AND Blast Works for about $20 each from GameFly over the course of the past month. Pretty good deal if you ask me.

Fuck Sony, where's my SECOND box?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I played for maybe four hours before my PS3 was done. It was the best four hours of my life, but I wanted more. I'm sending it out tomorrow.

I think what happened was Sony did a full refurbish on my console except somehow didn't quite fix the problem. So it wasn't really a full refurbish. After a thorough bitching (actually it was just a really nice customer service rep), they said they'd send me a brand new console.

Let's hope it works when I get it back on probably Monday. A whole week. I guess I should be used to it by now.

I was speaking idiomatically.

After getting my PS3 back, finally, I, of course, nabbed LittleBigPlanet. Yesterday I also picked up Mirror's Edge and got my sweet ugly yellow bag.

Both really fun games, looking forward to Resistance 2 Collector's Edition soon. God, I need money.

Do you live anywhere near a machine?

FELIPE NO

Kirby: Canvas Curse, Kirby: Super Star Ultra for DS, and Crackdown.

Crackdown is probably far too fun to be healthy.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Grabbing things on sale hell yeah.

Picked up inFAMOUS on release day. Beat that one and a half times. Also grabbed Fallout 3 Collector's Edition during Amazon's sale, but I'm bad at that game so I don't play it much. Grabbed FFXI Vanadiel Collection 2008 and a Chatpad to play with my friend so that's what I've been doing lately. Got Elite Beat Agents for $10, currently in the mail. My DS library is lacking. And lastly, Sengoku Basara X during their sale for delicious GUNS in a 2d fighter.

I hacked my PSP again though which I'm psyched about, and almost through hacking my Wii to play backups from an HD.

Most amazing jew boots
