Video Game Pick-Up Thread - Post Your New Games!

[Dusty Starr]

Hmm, thank you again. :3 I will try to keep these things in mind if/when I decide to actually go through with it; thankfully there an older used game store in this area, I hope they have something, because I hate shopping online, with strangers.

Would you happen to know anything about Dreamcasts? :3 I am thinking about going that way, just because there are a LOT more of them on Amazon, and Amazon themselves sell a few good games sealed for great prices (Chu Chu Rocket $11, Space Channel 5 $13, Jet Grind Radio $30), though I want both systems eventually. I'd just prefer a Saturn. X3

[Lumina]

The Dreamcast was a beast of a system that had very few hardware issues so there would certainly be much less to worry about, but from a niche RPG standpoint there are fewer on that than the Saturn if you can believe it. I guess it depends what type of games you're after. Dreamcast games are also (for the most part) much cheaper and easier to find in good condition since they didn't use the longbox style of the Sega CD/Saturn/early PS1.

I'd say go for both.

[Dusty Starr]

Well, I would only have about $500-$600 dollars to work with, and I would like to not spend at least half of it. X3 Maybe I should stick with the Saturn for now, what with it and the games getting rarer and rarer. Then again, I could always wait on both of them, and just treat myself to a few games... but what is fun about that?

Also, huh, I could have sworn that I heard that the Dreamcast had disc reading issues. Maybe whoever it was was talking about rhe Saturn instead.

Either way, I imagine my indecisivness, and fear of online shopping, are going to make this a very hard experience... X3

Just ordered Armored Core V.

I can't wait to get it. Totally hyped for this game

[conurebleu]

Its certainly taken long enough, hasn't it! Though I wish more companies would bring over Japanese movies and drama series than they do now

Battle Royale was really something else. It has obviously been censored, I wonder why...

Here are my pick-ups



All of these for a measly 60$

[Chelli]

How the hell did you get all those for $60?! The limited edition of Skyward Sword goes for $100+ on ebay!

I really want to get Chaos Rings II, but there's no way in hell I'm paying $18 for an iPhone game, even though I still have more than that amount left over in gift cards. Oh well, I'll wait for it to go on sale.

[conurebleu]

The guys got no box, so it's not 100$ and got rid of his Wii. Unfortunately he fell on me. Buying cheap to keep the Wiimotion plus, Mario but getting rid of the other two. It was cheaper to buy the whole. But he was happy that I was happy >< I'm happy for mario and the wiimote. For the rest, sorry I'm selling because I already have them =/

Do I have to precise that they are all like new? ><

18$ for an Iphone game -_- Are they that greedy?

[Chelli]

Of course they're that greedy. The Chaos Rings games are published by Square, and Square can unfortunately get away with pretty much anything.

Fun fact: I recently found out that the Chaos Rings developers are the same people who developed Wild Arms.

[conurebleu]

Square can do what they want, right. That's why i tend to buy used now. (But I can't bocott all their manga in their manga division =/)

For my loot, I must also precise : the guy was REALLY far away. That is probably why nobody wanted his games. There were no pics and he didn't say if mario was a true one or one given with a wii (cheap carton sleeve)

How I love to find awsome deals

[kknd]

My first ebay auction victory: DoDonPachi DaiOuJou and Ketsui!

nice! I wanted to buy these two games for a while!!
