teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[Mathius]

This just in.  Will hold me over until Monday when some pc engine shmups come in.

Edit:  they just came in.  80 including ems seemed like a good deal to me.

Three excellent Konami HuCARDs.

No library of obey is complete without 'em.

Went to the thrift today since it is 50% on Saturday and was hoping something I has spotted earlier in the week was still there...


Pioneer CLD D504 - Laserdisc Player by xelement5x, on Flickr

A Pioneer CLD-D504 LaserDisc player.  This is a pretty nice unit, it has double side playback and still works quite well. It also has s-video out and AC3 as well, plus Karaoke functionality built right into the unit; manufacture date says 1995.  The only knock is that the Pioneer badging is missing from the upper left of the front of the unit, but I really don't mind. 

This guy will not be with me long as I plan on bundling him with a bunch of LaserDiscs I already have/do not want and will try to peddle it off on Craigslist.  Another forumite had mentioned a good way to clear out discs is to buy a cheap player, bundle a lot of discs with it at a low price, set it on CL and watch it disappear from your life.  I hope the $10 'investment' in this guy will maybe make it easier to get some of the many (hundreds?)of LDs in my basement out of my life at a small profit.


Oh, and I also got a Gunsmith Cats manga for $1.  Woot!  I like Kenichi Sonoda's work.

Ive got that exact same player.  Pretty good unit!

After playing with it I was tempted to keep it but I need another LD player like I need another hole in the head.  I think I have like 7 Laserdisc players in my house now, along with 3 SVHS VCRS.  I just hope my wife doesn't check the closet in the guest bedroom anytime soon.  :O

This silly book has already inspired me to take out my 3DO and play a bunch of games!

It's funny...I also want to get some games I see in the book but have never played. I can't believe that MEGARACE is tempting me, but it is.

I should know better.

I got Mega Race as a free pack-in with my Packard Bell PC (worst mistake ever buying that thing, btw.)

I can still hear that announcer when I close my eyes.

Hahjahahahah. I am happy MegaRace is associated with traumatic memories for you. It will make it more enjoyable to play, now.

My trusty 22'' Iiyama CRT monitor finally died.  So I bought an Eizo Foris FG2421.  I must say I'm quite impressed, the contrast and brightness is fantastic, and coupled with the 240hertz mode it's a very pleasing replacement.  Highly recommended.

Nice!  My copy of Operation Abyss got dinged up in the mail so they are sending a new one.

this post is kinda late but some stuff i got from level up expo a week and a half ago. had an awesome weekend from may 29th-31st. had a lot of cash to blow lol

[xelement5x]

Quite a haul kubano.

I went by the thrift yesterday on a whim and found some good stuff! 


2015-06-11 Thrift Store Finds by xelement5x, on Flickr

Trauma Center: New Blood [Wii]
Uncharted: Golden Abyss [PSV]
Champions of Norrath [PS2]

It blew my mind to find a PS Vita game already and I am super stoked that it is one I had actually wanted.  Couldn't argue on the price at only $3 so I grabbed it right away. 

I've also already got the first Trauma Center game and the second Norrath game so both of those were good grabs for me. 

I also grabbed an extra original PS2 with hookups that had the broadband adapter on it as well.  I know Gamestop now pays at least $25 for a complete PS2 alone and considering the whole lot cost me about $17 I can't complain.  I'm still not sure if I will trade it in though, a PS2 plus Free McBoot and a decent hard drive makes a nice little machine to play games on.
