Post every time you buy/trade something Part VIII

Goddamit I hate you. So bloody hard to find a 6-button controller here without using eBay.

Ordered one from an online retailer only to get an email 3 days later saying it was never in stock.

 

All three are working well, but I don't like the feel of the third-party stick, feels kinda mushy...

 

Christ I fucking hate it when they do that. I bought a book from WHSmiths online some time before Christmas, they made me sign up, took my card details and put the order through. Three days later I get an email saying that it's out of print and that the order is cancelled. I ask them when it'll be back in print and they say the publisher isn't planning on it. I checked again a few weeks ago and they STILL have it up for sale.

For fuck's sake.

 

Just arrived.

Postman now comes at 3pm apparently.

 

I went to the doctors today and ended up impulse spending another £40 Grr. I got a Wii RVL-005 controller in black with the sorta mouldde handgrips things which I had hoped would work on Gamcube but given the connector I guess not, an immaculate purple PAL gamecube which is in a beat up box, a copy of Warioware inc, 3 official gamecube 59 memory cards, the local newspaper featurng me in it, some snack a jacks, hob nobs and a couple of peri peri chicken wraps.

 

Why are you in the newspaper?

 

Aha one would have to purchase it to find out Suffice to say it is related to the problems I have which I've listed in my signature and sticking it to the man

 

Signature? Where?

 

Quite an expensive afternoon...

 

That'll be your next few months of gaming sewn up, then! What a haul.

 

:thumbsup:

Everything is a limited edition, except for the DFK Black Label (far right). Music CDs, great artwork and also a 360 faceplate!

I am still getting my teeth into DFK 1.5... and it'll be a looong time until I am done with that. I am really enjoying being able to buy exclusives that I really like, limited edition no less, when they are on the "current" shelves. I love(d) collecting for my Dreamcast, but this feels different.

Liking the setup now... just wondering if I should get an arcade stick...

 

Slowly but surely buying back all the games I used to own. Oh, and also some more anime.

 

Ooh Kirby's Adventure! I loved that game!
Good pick

that facelplate is absolutely gorgeous. And this is coming from someone who generally avoids things like this.

 

Ace little game. Outstanding graphics for the NES, too.

 

Sun SparcStation 20 with unopened keyboard and mouse for free off of Craigslist.

 

Yes! It's way fun.

I owned it at one point a couple years ago but never had a chance to finish it. Unfortunately I had to sell the bulk of my collection (basically all the games, I kept the systems).

I promised myself that this time around I'm going to do whatever I can to hold on to my collection. But who knows... Life happens. :shrug:

 

I just bought pre-production umd discs of The 3rd Birthday and Final Fantasy Dissidia 012, 14€ for each game, I can't see version and date in photos -_-

 

Kirby is one of my faves for the nes,a true classic.I recently bought a nes controller at the goodwill and lets just say its fucked up pretty good when playing any nes game so Im going to mod my a spare snes controller to work with my nes.

 

Jet Set Radio and Virtua Tennis 2 disc only and a DC vibration pack.

Also my VGA male to male cable arrived now I'm going through Soul Calibur in 480p for all of the unlocks <3 Shame I can't find my Nexus only the transfer cable =/

 

Well after finally making it to this Sundays Car Boot Sale...I forgot to take my wallet.

So with exactly £5.41 in my pocket I managed to bag these:



Which IMO is a steal seeing as S&K is boxed, complete and in pretty good condition and Pete Sampras Tennis is supposedly quite "rare" using the term loosely of course.
