teh "what did you buy today"-thread

Got this yesterday.

I've been trying to buy one of those for months - it's amazing how much the price has shot up on that thing. Seems like $50 is the going rate. Used to be able to grab it for 15-20.

Did Bloodlines also release in a coarboard box? I could swear mine came in one when I first bought it new, but its been a good while since I got rid of my Genny stuff, so maybe I'm wrong.

Bloodlines originally shipped in a plastic clamshell, then was re-released in a cardboard box. It was one of those games released in the middle of Sega's atrocious decision to put games in flimsy cardboard. I always hated that.

The plastic clamshell is more sought-after and a little pricier since its seen as the "first printing" of the game.

I was able to get this one for 39.00 shipped.  BUT, it wasn't an easy find.  Most clamshell ones were way higher, and the cardboard box version can be gotten for around 30-50 easily.

Dude nice loot.

Do you own Sukiyaki Western Django ?  Gurren FTW!

No Sukiyaki Western Django, but it's on the "buy" list LOL.

Korean Cinema has produced the finest films I've seen in the last decade. Check out Memories of Murder, The Chaser, Old Boy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and The Host. Then follow those up with The Yellow Sea, Castaway on the Moon and a Bittersweet Life.

[nectarsis]

Old Boy is a classic, Yellow Sea I just heard about, but looks AWESOME.

[kamiboy]

The Chaser is by the Yellow Sea director and I would argue the former is his best effort. Yellow Sea is a fun nihilistic little film though.

Kick ass, I had gotten into Korean flicks by way of Musa and Old boy. Will have to check the other recommendations.

Got this yesterday.

Congrats while it's not the most liked cv title by fans i enjoy bloodlines.
Btw my favorite music track from the game.

I enjoyed Bloodlines, just like part 3, u could use someone else besides Simon...the dude with the spear is uber-powerful! (dunno why he's not on the box art at all....)
Anyways, this was in the batch of wicked Konami games that happened right after they did a contract to finally make games for Sega i think... What a way to make an entrance with Contra: Hard Corps, Castlevania: Bloodlines, Sunset Riders, and TMNT!

There wad a loose copy at game store near me for $14- i passef on it for a few months while I lurked Ebay... Then I decided it was a prety okay deal and bought it. It really is a great game. Not too challenging but lots of fun.
