    Bought a pair of Logitech G930 wireless headphones and a Logitech Wireless Anywhere Mouse MX on Amazon's Black Friday, only to find they duplicated my order by mistake (but charged me only once for it :D)! Awesome deal!

    I'm from the UK as I see a few other people here are and if you look you can often find some good games/deals ;)
    Granted I stopped looking for a while because it was as dry as a ... well you know how that goes.
    So after a few months of not looking and 3 consecutive failed game hunting expeditions I had some luck at last,
    just got to let them fill up again sometimes.

    So come on UK retro gamers show us what you got! This is what I picked up yesterday. Some PC games are pictured twice but between the two you can see all the titles.

    Don't ask where I go to find games because I will NOT tell you.

    I post all of my finds on my website and saw what I like about them or any memories of them, i also post the occasional gaming video and write game reviews too.

    Lucky you. I just researched them and found a site selling the stuff new. The cheapest new 3.5" model is currently $379 USD (!). Found another site with the 3.5" models that are IDE for as low as $95 USD refurbished. It takes up to 1.3 GB discs. If someone finally makes the much wanted Dreamcast GD-ROM to IDE adapter, I may get one of these things for it just to be different. Get rid of CD based media for a hybrid FDD, CD ROM, and HDD based setup. The 1.3 GB models should do fine since GD discs are 1.2 GB. At least the discs will last longer and are protected not to mention re-writable.

    My co-op partner just corcerced me to buy Torchlight II @ £7.48 in the GamerGate Holiday Sale.

    By coerced I mean he went ahead and bought it, but as it is a co-op game and we co-op together I was bound by the unwritten contract to buy it to play it with him. Fair enough I guess as he has done the same for games I really wanted to play. I know he loved the original Torchlight single player and was looking forwards to some co-op love on this (similar situation with me and Orcs Must Die!). The only catch is I'm I'm broke and still working on paying off my debts, but what the hell.

    Copy and paste the code into Steam, job done.

    I would avoid those personally. They squeeze your head hard and caused ear pains. They also couldn't keep the wireless connection established and then they split in two. Sound and mic quality were good, but I found the hardware to be shit. And I say the battery life is around the original 3DS/DSi.

    The big WTF here, is I found a Japanese N64 voice adapter. Pretty useless but I don't expect to ever see another. @_@
    Finally another cheap expansion pak. Now my third N64 sitting around can be prepared to test and sell.

    Kill Bill DVDs = $2 each.
    N64 Spider-Man = $5
    Snowboard Kids 2 = $5
    N64 Expansion Pak = $1
    USB extension = 70 cents
    N64 VRSユニット (voice recognition unit) = $1
    Microsofr optical USB mouse = $1

    Just got a crap load of stuff from flabbergaster. More than I bought. He threw in some extra junk too. See the details in his feedback thread. Also got an LCD laptop screen for my Dreamcast for VGA games. 15" 4:3 model. (Can go up to 1024x768 resolution.) I have a Chinese adapter that converts the screen to VGA input and use it with my Chinese Dreamcast VGA adapter...

    I also now have the elusive Sega Demo System DS-16.

    Arrived today:

    a Sexy (SEGA) Master System Mk1 Model 3005-05-A (PAL UK) with built in games - Safari Hunt and Hang On

    This came with a Mk1 Megadrive AC adapter and a mk2 Megadrive RF cable but i have a Megadrive MK1 Scart cable which works with this and also a mk1 master system AC adpater so all good there.

    Also came with a SEGA Light Phaser which works, tested this with Safari Hunt(also one of the coolest light guns known to man)

    and a QuickShot joystick, which works fine also was using this to play hang on, its compatable with atari / commodore, amstrad, msx and of course sega even has a switch on the bottom to choose between them.
    "FOR PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS" says on it lol, its got some paint on it but will get that off.

    £14 all in so not a bad deal i think :) my 1st mk1 SMS, had a mk2 as a kid with alex kidd built in. its a bit grubby but in great condition overall, just needs a clean.

    i think the majority of the planet had some variant of that joystick, i had one aswell as a kid used it for the commodore back then, also has an autofire switch, im surprised everything works got it off ebay as "powers on but can't test any further" took a risk, i assume the seller just didn't have the right cables for it :) happy me
