teh "what did you buy today"-thread

Recent trade arrival. I've actually not played Klonoa 2 and quite enjoyed the first so that should be fun.

Klonoa 2 is quite fun!  Also the D&D games for Saturn always take me back to playing in local arcades as a kid.  Solid stuff there.

Quick thoughts

Salamander 2 is pretty cool with the way the stages alternate between vertical and horizontal. Pretty standard gotta keep your power-ups style that I expect from Salamander, Gradius etc...

Thunder Force III is awesome.

Guardian Force is um, taking some adjustments for me to play. Interesting style.

D&D from what I've played of the first one is quite fun. Too bad it's fully in Japanese, but I'll deal with it.

That was a really good haul of Saturn stuff...

Yesterday's mail brought me a 4gb micro-SD card to replace the one in my TED that I ruined trying to shave down to clear the RX's power switch.  :oops:

Lol, at least you didn't use a hair dryer on it.

Truth.

[Necromancer]

Heh, very true.  At least it was just a cheap little card ruined, only costing me $3 shipped to replace.

Mine came in as well super stoked. Lol brother in law still has the 3DS. So the question comes doni esit to visit family on thanksgiving to get the 3DS or convince my wife to let me buy a newer 3DS? 


The figures where smaller then I expected. I thought they would be twice they were honestly. Not sure if they gave it measurements prior to preordering.

Magicoal finally showed up yesterday.  'Twas bought and paid for on 9/29, but I guess it's better late than never.

Heres some recent purchases. I got the magnets from a forum member on neo-geo. Great for sticking to a white board and using to keep highscore/1cc attempts. Glad to have Berserk, as well. I made a blunder and purchased the Asian version from Play-Asia thinking it came out on the same day. Sadly not. But Play-Asia fixed the blunder and shipped it post haste.

[bartre]

Are you great?

[xelement5x]

BERSERK!  Let me know what you think of it man.  I am stoked to play it when it releases in the US.

I'm really hoping NISA does a limited edition since they seem to be in good with Tecmo-Koei

"Brand new/factory sealed" Xbox One S 2TB model.

This is the condition that Fedex tried to deliver it to me earlier today.

















No outer packaging. Basically, the console box itself was the packing material. Unbelievable. First time I've ever encountered this.

The seller (100% rating, no negatives, over 2000 sold items) swears up and down that he packed this thing as securely as possible.
If I'm to believe him, then this here would be the culprit:







Pitney Bowes, part of the Global Shipping Program. They open up, check the contents and then "re-seal".
There are a few horror stories out there regarding that lot.

As far as the console itself is concerned,
I heard a bit of a noise/rattle when I picked up the box. Not a good sign.

In any case, I've sent this abomination back and filed a dispute with PayPal. Here's hoping for a favorable outcome.
