teh "what did you buy today"-thread

$75, I have a new favorite coworker

Nice haul for the price, MKR goes for that by itself usually.

Magic Carpet is a weird game, haven't played it in years though.  Played through Die Hard arcade about 50 times too.

[Mathius]

Bartre, does your Magic Knight Rayearth have its sticker collection in the back of the manual intact? That's a good price on all that stuff!

[bartre]

mati - yeah, it's the nicest game in the bunch, just about perfect, and has the stickers

i mostly bought it for Die hard, nights and MKR, but astal and magic carpet were games i wanted to try, but never picked up.
i figured it was a good price, seems like astal is ~$20, and Die hard is ~$25, so I ain't complaining.

Astal is a bit shallow gameplay wise but its beauty is nearly unrivaled. A true 2D graphics showcase.

we'll see if it stand's up to Keio 2 (one of my favorite platformers ever.)

[TheClash603]

Astal is kinda simple and the gameplay is so-so.  The game is one of the best looking on the system though, worth playing the relatively short game just to get a good look.

Picked up a few loosies on eBay

Dragon Spirit
King of Casino
Double Dungeons

Different auctions and less than $10 each including shipping.

Magic Knight Rayearth is one of those few Saturn RPGs that is actually worth the price of admission. good pick up!

[SamIAm]

Didja get the 3D controller with NiGHTS?

Some people are fine without it, but personally I wouldn't play the game any other way.

[SuperPlay]

Went downtown to buy some resistors and capacitors, and browsing around I got these:



Around $50 for everything

Deep Blue, Everyone needs at least two copies of this in their collection and you seem to have forgotten to pick up the resistors / capacitors  ;-)

no, but i already had one, used to have quite the saturn collection, but i decided to dump it.
now i'm just getting the ones i really want.

Very nice score on the Rayearth, the last US Saturn game!  Who's on the disc?  Umi (blue), Fuu (green), or Hikaru(Red)?


I don't normally go shopping on weekdays, but after a tip from Dan about Gamestop doing a Buy 1 Get 50% off for PSP games I went around town and hit 5 GameStops looking for deals.  They're really serious about clearing this stuff out, one store I bought from was literally just about to take down the PSP display in 20 minutes before I walked in.

Lots of pictures incoming!

2013-02-27 Finds PSP Go by xelement5x, on Flickr
PSP Go Set with Component Cables
GameStop was missing part of the charger so they gave me a Vita one as a replacement for free.
The screen still looks very nice too, I was surprised!

Guitar Hero DS version

Definitely a pricy night, but I got a lot of good games at VERY nice prices.  Some are duplicates to what I have, so I might try and trade them off to pick up games I'm missing.  I really didn't need a second PSP Go either, but the price was right so I figured it wouldn't hurt to have a backup.  Now I need a white one

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN Xele!
