teh "what did you buy today"-thread

Some decent finds over the past couple of weeks. 

The Shooter for the Game Gear is decent.  Not bad for $1.  Same with the loose common NES game which I didn't have.



This has to be my 5th Neo Geo CD I've owned.  I keep buying and then selling them for other stuff as my AES & MVS take priority and to be honest any game over 100MEGS is torture in terms of loading.  If you want to punish a gamer have them play OF 99 on it.  That said I've noticed to pricing on these things going way up in value and they are good to have for the burned game aspect.  I got a buddy in japan who gets these things on the cheap and a decent shipping rate as well (Not that $100 shipping from Japan BS, who is paying that?)  If you can get the CDZ which is on par with a PS1 in terms of loading.

The 3DO came from the same friend and has the Japanese Bios to play Japanese games.  Although 3DO's do not have region lockout they do need specific bios to play certain Japanese games so enter this 3DO.

Speaking of 3DO.







Road Rash is amazing.  Loving every second of it.  Captain Quazar is meh.  SSF2T is amazing and VERY hard.



Came with all the books.

CDV! That cart (digital video cartridge) allowed some fancy movie action.

Been on a 3DO kick lately, no idea why, now I have the 3 Major models.  Its a good systems, just too early to compete properly in the 32BIT arena.  Just a little later, just a little cheaper, little faster processor.  Road Rash and NFS really shined on it.

a few random bits today.

Amiibo Festival is soo cheap now on amazon that along with the animal crossing new leaf update I just had to get it just for the amiibos.
Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon are now backwards compatible on the xbone and I am hoping the last remnant will make that list too.

"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.

Well that was quick.










A little peeved off that eBay saw fit to remove my neg to that seller. But who cares. At least now I can go ahead and order myself this console elsewhere.

more amiibo stuff just for the animal crossing new leaf update

[Bloufo]

A few MVS carts in kinda rough shape. All work fine though. Although I had to trim and file the corners of the PCB's of that bootleg KOF 10th Anniversary cart. Damn thing wouldn't fit otherwise.

Got those carts for $25.










A nice little Namco Plug-and-Play,








And an LD-ROM² game,

it begins..

Traded off 4 hueys for the DC bundle. Lots o doubles in there (which will be available). System is pretty complete (also it's Japanese, of course).

Also Shovel Knight arrived today which made me happy, gonna play it shortly. ^_^ Shantae games took a detour though. -_-

I think the last time I played Smash Bros Brawl I was completely shit face drunk over 4 years ago, so it will be fun to give that another go while sober.

[Medic_wheat]

Picked up skemCOOL stuff. But I can't post. My SS would know to soon.

[Gypsy]

Can't reveal those secrets. 

So this is the first time I've played Dynamte Deka 2 I think. Really fun game!

[Medic_wheat]

Oh right my shovel knight just came in!  F you plastic get off my game. What a manual?  Someone remembered those exist!  The funny part?  I don't even remember where I put the dang power cable for my vita tv.

Never know when you will need to quickly dig a makeshift grave.
