teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[roflmao]

One thing I do like about this game generation, is how cheap games become after a few months now. $60 games dropping to $30 in 3 months, not too bad, lol. It is crazy how many good games just over a year old now are $20 or less typically.

Agreed.  Games these days drop in price ridiculously fast.  Which may explain why I haven't played anything new lately.   I guess (most of the time) I'd rather spend my hard earned money on good $5 games from 20 years ago (that I missed out on bitd) than $30 games from last year.

Though I really want to get Skyrim for the PC.  That game looks awesome.

I got my dream sunglasses today. 1980s Cazal 951's. These are somewhat of a holy grail among gaudy 80s sunglass collectors.


I'm a big fan of the Egyptian Lover who wore these a lot in the 80s

Clamshell Genesis cases are teh awesome!!! Streets of Rage 2, Bloodlines and Hardcorps cases look great. Unfortunately those along with a dead E-Swat and Strider (US Gold sequel) are the only ones I have in the cases.

I ended up using a rare buy 2 get one free pre-owned coupon from Gamestop. So, I decided to use it. Then finding out the stores here close at 8pm now instead of 9pm as of a week ago and when I got there trying to get my moneys worth at $35-40 a game... I had to rush my 3rd game choice. I picked inFAMOUS 2 (which is free a week later for us PSN Plus members, lol damnit!!!). My second choice was FFXIII-2, which in someways is better than the first, but also dumbed down graphically and with just 2 main characters for the whole game. Then I picked Halo Reach due to being rushed since it was 8:17pm. I kinda picked it more so for the fact I was curious if Halo improved much and my barely casual gaming roomate tends to like the Halo games... it is all he really will play actually.

I usually only try to collect genny games in there cases because i really like them.  As far as new games go. it is pretty awesome that they go cheap fast. i can buy the new splatterhouse and shadow of the damned on amazon new for like $10. which i am going to do soon.

I seriously wish that I have bought both JP Metal Slug 1 and 2 homecarts back in 2000 when they were $700 and $400. I think those were the prices then. Not only are they even more expensive now, but there's the whole "near perfect counterfeits floating around" problem.

Also, I sold my US Metal Slug 2 for the Neo Geo CD to KPJ for $100 six years ago, when I was hurting for money. At least, I can play the cracked CD-R back-up I made on my CDZ, lol. I still have my OK condition US Metal Slug 1 NGCD I got from Big Bear in '98.

BTW: A lot of free games have been added to PSN Plus this week. I have just recently downloaded Virtual Fighter 5: Final Showdown.

Finally came across a Raiden Fighters PCB:


At local auction, ended up trading the Dynamo cab it came in to Dan at Lost Ark for a tri-sync CRT, saved me the trouble of hauling the POS home. $52 with the marquee. And hopefully I can install that CRT I traded into the Balst City cab...there is a Saturday gone!

[Opethian]

Raiden Fighters rocks! Judge Spear ftw!!

Man, you guys have been picking up some awesome stuff lately!  Love those glasses, Punkic.  The way I lose sunglasses, though, I'd never treat myself to a pair that awesome.
