Post every time you buy/trade something Part VIII

Pre-ordered in September, arrived the other day.

Pleased I did order it in advance. They're three times the price on eBay already.

 

@Anton69, loving that Mark III and the price isn't so bad. In Japan they're pretty expensive for a nice mint boxed unit.

@Twimfy - You lucky lucky bastard! I'm still waiting for my game but because it's the Asian one it won't be here for another few days. Still, better than waiting till mid December for the Japanese release.

I managed to get a mint Virtual On 4 15th anniversary box set for next to nothing :thumbsup: I'm so happy. It's been on my 360 wants list for quite some time however I could never find a mint one for a nice price.



In the box you get the game, 2 Virtual On bouncy balls (meant to be eyes I think), 6 soundtrack CDs, an information and booklet to the Sega Arcade game Boarder Break and a fantastic history of Virtual On book covering everything about the series from the prototypes to modern day.



The book is quite thick and jam packed full of art, sketches, designs, evens, history and loads to read.







Sega seem quite proud to point out that everything was made in Japan :nod:

I bought a Special Edition box set version of Otomedius Excellent (US Xbox 360). It was just sitting on the shelf when I passed by the local Gamestop.

 

Congrats Yakumo. That's a fantastic special edition!

 

Got it in the mail the other day, i'm so happy they made it a worthwhile collectors editon with soundtrack,dvd with history/interviews/making of, statue of both Sonics. A metal numbered golden ring to show which number of the 12.000 CE you have. A really nice hardcover artbook and a bunch of downloadable content for the game,avatar and theme.

 

Thanks. I started reading the book last night but man, it takes a long time due to my kanji reading skills being pathetic. Well, pathetic for someone who has lived in Japan for as long as I have. Still, a very interesting read so far.

@SilverBolt: What exactly does the DLC consist of? Is it extra 'proper' content like not-on-disc levels and such or just the avatars and theme that you mentioned?

 

Got this dreamcast lot thanks to a friend pointing it out to me. Thanks for the heads up! :thumbsup:



Which also came with this jewel... something I've been trying to get a hold of for quite a while.

 

You get the Casino Night stage from Sonic 2 to play freely, you get a Super Sonic avatar outfit for both male and female avatars and you get an enhanced theme for your Xbox menu.

Got this game from a guy who was going to trade it in for $6, offered him $10 and I got the game .

Worth around $30 in online stores.

 

Got this about a week ago.

 

Picked up a few things for my Wii including a loose Wii motion plus, Wii sports resort and Mario sports mix.

 

iMac G4 1Ghz 15" with 768Mb of Ram, official speakers, keyboard, Airport card and mouse.

In mint condition.

£35.

I've been after one for ages just to use as a media centre and they usually go for £100+ this one was listed on eBay by a zero rated seller, had a stock photo and no description at all. It was only 20 miles away so I took a gamble and it paid off!

 

media center? what are you trying to play with that? VCD?!

 

It handles iTunes 10.5 perfectly well.

By media centre I just mean a second machine to play music/video while I work. Xcode takes too much of my screen real estate and processing power and well I figured buying the iMac is cheaper than picking up a second screen, and it's far cooler.

 

it IS cooler. i use my iBook G4 (1.4GHz, 1.5GB RAM) for stuff like that.
the reason why i sarcasticaly commented on the media centre idea is that the G4 is quite old and with some videos you'll definetly experience lagging....and you can completely forget about x264

what OS do you want to run on it?

 

3 new games and Legend Of Mana from Psn store!

 

The 3ds camera is crap...

 

I've stuck leopard on it. It can't handle web video at all which is a shame but it's fine with everything else.
