teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[reson8er]

So here is a little chestnut.

I got a gift card for $100 for my birthday last month to use on Amazon.

I attempted recently to use said gift card for the $150 used copy of Coryoon.

I get a reply a day later saying out of stock and that my order waas canceled.


Ok no biggie. I order the $170 from lucky star

A fay later same thing haplenes. I ask that they replace with the OTHER posting they have thats $12 dollars more

That listing gets removed and no dice

I then think okay 3rd times tge charme. And I order the $186 listing

Well today that too gets canceled as they do not have it in stock

WTF japan amazon sellers?!?!?!

I dont even want to teyr

I think what happens is they list it in several spots concurrently. Thus maximizing exposure. Since Amazon has no penalty for the seller, either they sold it already on eBay/whatever for more, or think they can get more since the listing went up. Sucks man.

Kind of an oddball here...

In from a trade.  Flying Dragon is mildly entertaining which is way more than I can say for the other two games...  Kind of like a cross between a SNES and Genesis but maybe one generation late to the game.  Oh who am I kidding, it sucks plain and simple but whatever.

Funtech Super A'Can  1995 Taiwanese 16bit Motorola 68000 based console.

That's damn cool!  I always wanted to try one of these bad boys.

Isn't it quite difficult to get all of the games?  Any two player games / is it possible to get a second controller without a system?  Is there an emulator for this thing?

I've never really seen many games for sale.  Apparently a few of them are ridiculously expensive.  I have occasionally seen extra controllers but again not often.  I do not know which games support two players though it does have two controller ports.  I've not looked for an emulator but my first guess would be no since its so obscure and really not that good.

My first LD-ROM² arrived yesterday: Quiz Econosaurus. 

I have occasionally seen extra controllers but again not often.

There's a couple new boxed controllers on eBay; looks like they've been there for a while, as nobody thinks they're worth $50.

Browsing CDs I saw and had to pick up copies of Use Your Illusion I & II from Guns N Roses when I saw them cheap.  The drive for nostalgia was so great that I've been rocking out in my car ever since.

I have the first one since it came out and the better, prior album, Appetite for Destruction. This is from ancient times in my life when I actually used to buy music CDs on rare occasion (radio suited me fine). Too bad they split on a pretty sour/petty note; Axle refused to show for induction into the rock'n'roll hall of fame or whatever. Bernie's still a real big fan too BTW.

.   Appetite is one of the best rock albums ever recorded. Its great from front to back with no filler bullshit. Its just great gritty sleazy rock goodness, and I love the heavy blues inspired guitar riffs. Slash and Izzy were great.

After getting these two for a couple bucks and rocking out in my car for the last week or so I really want to find a copy of Appetite at the thrift too.  I rarely buy CDs myself anymore, but when I find something good and cheap it's a no brainer.

Okay I didn't buy this but it is a really cool find.


So I go to throw out the trash since I have company coming and the appartment is looking a little Bachlers padish .....the wife is spending the week with family so I have the run of the house.    Meaning it better look clean before she gets back lol....


Well I toss the bag in the dumpster and what do I see sitting next to a bent up bike?

Why a original Xbox in box.  I snatch that up and walk back to the apartment..

I open the box and it has a minty system packing foam power cord av cables and S controller.....

Score.....

I plug it in and the system boots up and has a DVD of stand by me...

I grab a Xbox game slide it in and....it can't read the disk.......

I'd try another game but they are all in boxes in storage...

I am sure it is an easy fix, but I can now at lest try out a Xbox I got from Goodwill a few months ago (no cables or anything) for $6 ....hopefully that one works but I'll have to hit up the storage unit tommarow.


Even though the system isn't working I now have a box and cables/controller. 

Pics to follow.

Okay edited the confusing xoxo and iTunes part.....I dont' know why but my auto text be it my iPd or my phone I was using yesterday likes to really jack with my posting.
