Post every time you buy/trade something Part VI

just got this beauty!



steel batallion controller for xbox, for the grand total of......... £7 + postage!

 

i saw that and that you bought it.. buggeroony! lol

Bargain though, i had never seen one before.

 

checkout steelbattalion.org theres still a good community on there.

best part is ill now have 2 of these controllers, so am going to set it up on syslink when it arrives

was a real bargain though, as the last one i sold went for £130, but that was a couple of years ago, but they still sell for around £80, so when i do sell it ill be quids in!

 

blimey..... jammy git!

 

Wow, why so cheap?
It's a neat setup....had one myself back when the game was first released but ended up selling it due to the huge amount of space it took up.
I sort of regret it now.

 

dont think the seller knew what it was, was listed in the wrong section and no real mention of what it actually was, as soon as i saw the pic of it i clicked buy it now

 

That was a bargain! I paid about £80 for my full set, including controller and box a while back. It almost killed me when I was putting it up into the attic. £7 is a fine outlay. Didn't see whether you mentioned the game or not? I played it but was rubbish - I think there are something like 70 buttons, controllers, sliders and doodahs on that thing.

 

Steel Battalion is one of my favorite games for the Xbox. The level of immersion it provides is unparralelled on any other console.

 

I bought that strange Japanese horror movie that ASSEMbler posted a clip of (The one where the piano eats the girl). All I can say is that this is one strange movie. So 70's in style with a story that at times makes no sense at all. Still, pretty entertaining. The DVD comes with extras such as 90 minutes worth of interviews with the director (apparently very famous according to the wife) and poster art, trailers etc.

no, only DVDs before 2002 came lke this. Now they come in standard DVD cases.

6300 yen? thats £26 just for a DVD...guess japan is great for everything..

 

oh yeah, in the early days of DVDs Japan would rape the ass off you as far as prices went. Video tapes were the same. I remember paying about 30 quid for a VHS movie back in 1997. These days DVDs cost about 2800 yen. Still expensive I think.

I never paid 6300 yen for that DVD of House though. Got mine factory sealed from Yahoo auctions

Bonus points go out to the cover of that dvd it looks lush, love the house hehe.

 

On my last paycheck i bought
A new PS2 controller
Valkyrie Profile 2
Tales of the Abyss
Shadow of the Colossus*non-GH*
Used Legend of Dragoon*non GH*(cost only 20 bucks on Ebay. sweet)
Ys: The Ark of Napishtim *for PSP*(I don't have a PSP but it cost only 20 bucks with shipping. what can i say)
Pre-ordered Odin Sphere


one or two more pre orders and a Book off this paycheck and then i'm in saving mode. A comp of my own and a PSP are on my list

 

Makes me feel less ripped off paying $20 U.S. for a new dvd release.

 

Well, this was a good week. My first ebay purchase arrived, brand new Nights with 3d controller. Also finally got X-men vs Street fighter and Vampire Savior from japangamestock. I'm just wating to see if they stock Marvel vs Street Fighter soon.

 

got this off ebay last night




component to vga transcoder, got it for a reasonable price (£24)

hopefully it will work for what i want rather than my botched attempt at soldering!

 

Love the 32X so much I bought another one. :love2:

Well the original one I had, someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse, but it's taken me a while to find another boxed one, or at least a boxed one that didn't cost so much... :crying:

Also got Fantastic Pinball as I love the game but don't want to drag a Saturn everywhere, Puyo Puyo Sun Expert as to play in Japan, the normal version just isn't hard enough and Haunted Syankusyon a columns like game that has pieces coming down from each side of the screen but you move the playfield, hard to explain but quite a fun little game. :nod:
