Crossposting from Gundam-gaf:
Can't wait to get started on this one.
Wow, mine just left the warehouse. I'm quite jealous but I still haven't build the Nu ver.Ka yet, I need to get started on it.
How big is that box by the way ?
A friendly reminder is New Game Plus is mandatory, don't skip it. Could you send me a pm after you're done by then? I can hook you up with some excellent titbits / reviews for the game. Also, you will likely pay $40 more for the OST
I wrote this on my note. I'll probably will played it after my exam and finished as soon as possible
I don't have it in front of me but I think it's about 2'ft wide and a 1 1/2'ft tall. It's a big box!

Killer Is Dead - Premium Edition (PS3). Nabbed this for a cheap price, thought I'd give it a chance.
I had to convert it to metric system units to realize, but that is a big box indeed
Hence the painful shipping fees

After:
Astonished by the picture quality. Loved my old set as well, but it had started to fade in black levels. This one is pretty much perfect in every way I can think off. Best TV I've ever seen so far, so I couldn't be happier.
Massive bump here but kudos for the model 1 JP Saturn. That thing is an absolute beauty!

D= So much want! Don't have a bluray player though so would be pointless sigh.
Heh, I should tell my brother about this. I got the Nu ver.Ka last year and he nabbed the Sinanju ver.Ka, but later said he should've gotten a Sazabi so we could have the pair mock fight XD
Some December pick-ups as well as some November pick-ups. I might have forgotten some stuff, but these are the major ones.
First of all. These two have entered my home and are doing their best to wreak havoc in my apartment (and succeeding). There have been many times over the past 3 weeks where I severely regretted picking them up. And I'm sure there will be many more times to come. But they're also too cute to get rid off and they love chilling on my lap as I browse GAF.
Summer.
Chie
The two of them on my couch. The couch that they are slowly destroying when playing with their nails out...
Picked up a Vita along with Lumines, Wipout and 3 months of PS+. PS+ also netted me Guacamelee, Uncharted and Gravity Rush on the Vita. Such a sexy handheld. Though impossible to take dust free pictures of.
And last but not least. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. Easily the best Zelda in ages. And one of the few games I actually finished this year.

-A few late arrivals from Black Friday sales finally showed up and I picked up a few other new releases I'd been anticipating.
Day of the Doctor in 3D was so great!!
-I was able to get the eShop cards for 25% off at Target (price-matched Best Buy's 20% off sale and used my Red Card for an extra 5% off) so I decided to stock up.
I could've gotten a standard 1-year membership for less, but I decided to get the Day One XBL card because I really wanted the Shadow Jago character for Killer Instinct and the Day One card was $10 off on BestBuy.com.
I got the games super-cheap on Amazon - Batman: AC is actually a late BF arrival.

Holy shit this photo is one of the best I've ever seen.
Doing my usual Saturday morning rounds this morning. I bought stuff at all 3 spots I shopped at and had to stop a lot earlier than normal. Some of the stuff picture is from last weeks haul too.
I don't usually go for big box PC games, but sometimes I make an exception. The Collectors edition there is #5,301 of 62,000. That's a great price for it, but it's incomplete. It's missing the manual and the extra disc. Still everything else is in great shape. I've never played Baldurs Gate 2, but it looks great.
Got both of these for 8$ total, not a bad deal.
Mario Party 3 I got last week and it was only 7$, which is WAY below the normal Ebay price. The 2 Gamecube games were cheaper than most games because they lacked their manuals. Contra was only $10 and I almost passed it up. I'm glad I asked about it as I love Contra and it's nice to finally have it on Cartridge at a good price.

Next-Gen is heeeeeere. Love the PS4 so far.
Got these two gems as well. Both in my top 5 games of the year
New TV. The biggest TV I've ever owned before this was 32' so this has been great so far. SM3DW looks amazing.
Don't get to do as much reading as I'd like since I'm school. When I read I feel like it should be a textbook :/ But I picked up Gladwell's newest book to read over Christmas break.
And the best TV show I've ever watched.
Not pictured: I also bought a pair of concert tickets to go see Mayer Hawthorne next year.
So that's it for me. Expensive but amazing...

Fanservice, at it's best.
It's an airsoft gun. They shoot little plastic balls. Not really dangerous unless you don't wear eye protection.
Or you walk around with it outside and happen to walk into a situation where someone is paranoid or confused and accidentally shoots you because it doesn't have the orange tip that says "I AM A TOY" ... well done.
Thank you.
I just love that model.Have the white one as well as a couple European black ones, but I prefer the original grey version.
Picked up some really nice things this past week as well.
A couple of games that I've been after for quite a while, plus Killzone.
And some more random or cheaper stuff

Bought a second and third display and a couple of new cables.
aaand the finished setup. I need a new desk. sorry, the screens were too bright for the focus.
290 or the 290x will follow, as soon as the custom models are out.

that's why i keep it at home and not take it outside, dur. only morons would do that.
even if you owned a license to carry a concealed weapon, you're not allowed to flash it. it's still illegal.
Finally. I was having issues with the eShop/card, but it's now mine:
you're in for a treat

Early december pickups:
Wii U 32 Gb Premium Pack. The stupid device doesn't find my router, not even if it's standing just a few cm away from it. The same router that my Wii and 3DS never had any problem with. I tried everything, including all the scenarios in the OT here on GAF. And I really don't feel like buying a Wii LAN adapter just to get this thing hooked up. It's pretty disappointing.
Rayman Legends (Wii U)
God of War: Ascension (PS3)
Flower, Sun and Rain (NDS)
Crazy Train (MSX)
Bravely Default Deluxe Edition (3DS)
and The Sky (Slipcase Edition)

No problem, glad you located one for yourself
Yes, standalone - it's not part of the CE. Price is around £18 GBP/$30 USD (not including shipping).
Can I please ask where did you get it from? That's a very good price for an art book. They normally cost more than that.
ok. a couple more for December.
I kinda ripped open the silver anniversary box. My hands were too big...
yeah, i was disappointed too. I may return my wiiu because nintendo may do a wiiu version that comes with a lan port.

Impressions? I almost grabbed the Porco Rosso Blu-Ray (It's my favorite Ghbili) but heard bad things about the transfer.
Is Mononoke an improvement?
Picked this up during today's sale:
wow gz, price?
