teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[Digi.k]

Got my wii console today used.  36 quid or 57 usd

Can't seem to download the wii shop system update.. getting that 32017 error message which is annoying as hell.

Also can't wait for the component cables to arrive from amazon and a few wii RPGs

I few things I bought this summer.

The DP pinball games are too good. The Necronomicon intro is so WTF?, but still bad ass!

Yeah those games are addictive! Necronomicon is my favorite so far. Music is also very badass, all of them have great music. That intro is extra cheesy, but make me lol everytime.

just paid for a pce controller and a diving board converter, now it's the waiting game.
not a big deal if it takes a while though, got it for a steal, the converter was about the price of a mod

Yes i got the bonus soundtrack as well with the last story.

[JapanTokei]

awesome.  Lunar, Shining Force 2, Snatcher are imo best Sega/Mega CD ever made.  Popful mail is better on the PCE

Today, I FINALLY got a nice excellent-minty copy of Devil's CRASH (PCE version) CIB huey.  It took me forever to find out for sale at a reasonable price... too bad I already packed all my systems otherwise I would be busy pin-balling!

Really i think popful mail on the sega-cd is the definite version of the game.As for the other games you mention i agree,hmmm i don't know if i'll ever get snatcher again that one is so pricey these days.

Nice find on the Lunars. I have those in my crosshairs right now, but I'm not paying eBay prices for them.

I just picked up skullkeep for sega cd and space harrier for SMS.

This arrived in the mail today.  I already have the game, but I needed the manual.  So instead of paying $20 for a manual I just bought the game again.  When it showed up I got what I consider a wonderful surprise.



Then I flipped it over...







I'm always worried about crap I buy online.  You never know what shape it's going to show up in.  Not only did the game work, and the manual look great, but I got a bonus case.  Now I just need a Super System 3.0 Card to fill it!  

I noticed this one is in French and English on the back.  Were all copies printed bilingual or is this a Canadian version?

looks like it's in a pc engine hu card case too

The entire case could be a US Super System Card case. I have a complete US SSC and my case is white inside with the little tabs to keep the HuSleeve in place.

That's what I'm thinking.  This one has the little tabs inside too.  The hu sleeve has two holes in it as well.

Whoah, was just thinking about that game back in the arcade days. Tons of "lost" quarters. How's the gameplay on this version?

Nice score on the rest of the jewel case

The US SSC3 sleeve has two holes in it and that is the actual case you have there (but without the front cover).  I could never get the holes to line up with the tabs.  The way my SSC3 came from the factory is with the long end of the sleeve (with the holes) tucked underneath the crevice to the left and the tabs just holding the right side in. So that's how I store all my HuCards that come in such cases.

Nice find, fifty. I'm pretty sure all NA 3.0 cards are bilingual.

Weird. Doing that really bunches the sleeve up. I've only bought two white-tray hucards new (ACD Duo and SF2) and they both came with the tabs in the holes, IIRC.
