Post every time you buy/trade something Part VIII

While waiting for my CodeWarrior for Net Yaroze to arrive (unfortunately is just the disc with it's case; missing big box and manual), I purchased the Humble Bundle for Android.

 

Two new 360 games today. Never Dead and Soul Calibur 5



Never Dead came with a paper giving me codes for 4 extra abilities while in the case was two more codes for another 2 abilities. Soul Calibur also came with a code for two new characters. Silver and black knights and some guy who looks like a piano player from a cowboy western bar.

Yakumo

 

Found this at the flea market today. $75. a it much but ive been meaning to pick one of these up.

 

Hey Yakumo how do you like Never Dead?
I just happened to see it in a store over the weekend, but I know absolutely nothing about the game. Worth the $$$ or wait until it drops in price?

 

Another great condition game for my XBOX collection ^_^, can't wait to play it!

 

Last saturday finds:



I already have Ridge Racer on the longbox US version, but couldn't resist getting the japanese version as well. The Gundam game is 2 disc mech fighting game, in brand new condition.

 

Ridge Ridge Ridge RACERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Still want to get the first one! Really like RR! Nice pick ups Johnny

 

Sometimes living in Japan has a big advantage if you're a foreign 360 gamer. Because most of the population can't speak English, all Asian imports get reduced to crazy prices as soon as a Japanese version is released. Today, I got brand new Mass Effect 2 and Fall Out New Vegas both for 500 yen each.



But get this, a Korean 360 game! I've never seen one of these for sale in Japan. Again, because the game is in English is was only 500 yen. All instructions, packing and disc are in Korean though unlike Asian releases which are English and Chinese.

Hmm Yak paying 500 yen to play Terminator Salvation sounds like a bad deal to me haha! Still the Korean coolness may make it a worthwhile purchase.

 

Yeah, I know it's shit but it's the only Korean 360 game I've ever seen so I bought it for curiosity more than anything else really.

 

Got a Logitech Harmony 600 universal remote for on a computer forum i use. It was remote and a USB cable only (No box or manual) but looks almost brand new so for £16 i think it's a good deal since the cheapest i've seen them on Amazon is £35 new.

Currently have it controlling my HDTV, AV Receiver, Satellite box and Xbox 360 to which it does a great job. The one touch function to have it turn on multiple devices and switch everything to correct channels for TV or DVD watching is a bit hit and miss at the moment though i'd say that more down to me needing to tweak the remote.

 

It's been a busy month.

First up, I adopted a second Maine Coon, Amelia:


New laptop, gave my fiance my Macbook Air since her computer is getting old, and I didn't like the 13 MBP (and the 15 was too much)


Olympus PEN E-PL1 with Lens. Also bought a FD and MD adapter for some old lenses


Canon 24-70, right before the new one was announced. Still was a good price used though.


A bunch of 3ds games:


And my 25th 3ds game:


And of course ;

I just grabbed Aldynes from the Japanese PSN store to go with Daimakaimura that I bought back in December. Because A) I don't plan on getting a SuperGrafx system, and B) I have a bad feeling about the PCE games on PSN just disappearing without warning. Oh, and C) I just wanted another game for my PSP.

EDIT: ^I love the cover of Hyperstone Heist!

 

not bad for me this month

 

First game bought this year:

 

Resident Evil REVELAITONS !?

Engrish in America :lol:

 

I forgot to post I got bunch of Heroes + DLC in the Steam deaily deal yesterday.. Forgot exactly what I paid but it was 50% off and mildly amusing so meh.

EDIT: I also bought Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars off the PlayStation Network Store for my PSP at around £6 odd. I used to own it on UMD, and it cost me 3-4x what I paid for the digital version.

 

Just bought these some not gaming related
