LOTR was on my agenda as well, until I heard that this release is just the theatrical versions, and all the special features are on DVDs, I will wait for the extended version release.

So you'll be waiting two years? Good god.

So I've looked everywhere in my country for this (I want to rent it, not buy), it's impossible. I'm getting crazy.

Same. At least I got a nifty little steelbook out of it at Best Buy. =/

 

[chimster]

must get! I didn't know they were making new ones

 

[f3niks]

These are a little late but I'm counting them as a March Pickup.

several of the major components of my new workstation/gaming rig, along with Crysis and Dragon Age: Origins

and the mobo i used (along with parts from my old workstation) to make a sweet HTPC along with a wireless network adapter, Black Dynamite and Bioshock 2 (360)

 

[geebee]

Recent stuff.

You don't deserve that tag. Good stuff!

 

[lantus]

So you'll be waiting two years? Good god.

Delayed gratification is one of my strong suits.

If that's how long it takes, so be it. I'd love to see it in HD, but I've already bought the movies twice on dvd. I've gotten quite good at disregarding things if I know they're trying to hose me. Willpower mang.

Love this book, so much artwork and effort went in to it.

My LE FFXIII Guide signed by Yoshinori Kitase and Isamu Kamikokuryo. It was awesome to see them and it was quite the experience down in London. Forgot to post this last month.

Last, my book I'm using for work.

End result; a serious dent in my wallet.

Tegan and Sara So Jealous Vinyl:

Wow awesome pick up

 

[RadioHeadAche]

I hope you enjoy Silent Hill 3. It's such a great game. In my opinion, it's the scariest one of all.

The transfer is also supposedly shit.

 

[IMACOMPUTA]

Some blu ray stuff, LOTR was an easy choice for me as was Princess and the Frog(which is an absolute masterpiece)

Awesome pick-ups, man.
(except LOTR, not my cup of tea)
<3 Serenity & Firefly <3

 

[Lourio]

Wow these are awesome! I must continue to avoid any purchases of anything Mighty Mugs or else I will end up spending a shit load of money on them :lol

 

[Drahcir]

Last, my book I'm using for work.

Were you recommended this book for work? Just asking since I do SEO as part of my work as well.

 

[Ikkarus]

Yep, a very trusted colleague of mine recommended this book above the rest. From what I have read so far I have found it to be very good.

Round Two of buying stuff in Tokyo.

he's just smart.

 

[Efrendal]

Picked up a few older games

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Very LTTP with this and I've wanted it for ages but it was always either out of stock or too expensive online. £17.50 new was a good price though Also want to familiarise myself with the series before P3 Portable in a couple of months.

 

[Nayishiki]

Got this in the mail today.

 

[vid]

Let me show you them...

How does the HG/SS guide compare to say... the Platinum guide? Pokemon is one of the few games that I really appreciate having a well designed and informative print guide available for, as opposed to going to the internet for help.

That D&D collection is fucking AWESOME.
Used to have it in my huge Saturn collection. I miss that system

Oh man the HTC Desire is a kick-ass phone. I was wondering, if I buy a Desire online, can I use it with my T-Mobile USA SIM card and still get 3G? I wish they sold stand alone HTC phones in the US

 

[iamaustrian]

it's really surprising that the 0.3 megapixel DSi pics of that dog look tons better than all those multi-megapixel cellphone photos.

 

[Spookie]

The pad would have cost £32 from GAME.co.uk. That, off ebay, cost £24 with del.

Win.

[Toy Soldier]

Crossed Swords and the beat 'em up Mutation Nation for the Neo-Geo, and the new Heavy Metal. Thumbs up, for Mutation Nation especially.

I was disappoint with the new issue of heavy metal.

It's been a while since I posted in a pick-up thread but I have a pretty awesome haul this month.

First up:

Game boy micro goodness.
Some minor scratches and it didn't come with the box but only €27,50 shipping included and it came with at least two great games.

Currently running through A Link To The Past.
I've never beaten it before.

The first three volumes of Scott Pilgrim (4 & 5 are on their way as we speak).

Heavy Rain. Beaten, such an amazing experience.
Silent Hill Homecoming. Not nearly as good as 1,2 and 3 but still heavily underrated and scary as hell.


And now for my haul of today:

€100 used.
12 games (+ of which most are shitty and at least two are awesome.
2 wiimotes, sadly no nunchuck (should arrive tomorrow).

Some other plastic shit including a charger for the two wiimotes.

It also has the homebrew channel installed which is awesome for emulating some of the my older Nintendo consoles.

The N64 emulator doesn't seem too stable it's still pretty awesome.
I recently hooked up my N64 to my HDtv and it looked like muddy crap.
This looks so awesome in comparison.

I finally have every major console this gen.
Now to hunt down some good cheap Wii games that I missed out on the last three and a half years.

but isn't that what the VC service is for?

 

[Slappy967]

Loving the Chuck blu ray pick up eXistor and also am glad to see people showing some love for Disney's Princess & the Frog which looks tremendous on blu ray and I think has one of the better Disney villains in recent memory.

 

[ExMachina]

How's the picture quality for Chuck? I got season 1 on DVD since the 1st BD set was super grainy and am still trying to decide on which version of S2 I should get.

 

[gibbers82]

The first three volumes of Scott Pilgrim (4 & 5 are on their way as we speak).

I have all the UK editions and was dissapointed to find out that vol4 doesnt have the colour intro that the US/CANADA version does

 

[Machine]

I'm not familiar with the Platinum guide so I can't compare the two. This guide is like the Diamond/Pearl guides because it is split into two parts. Only the first part is out right now. It's a walk-through of the Johto half of the game with some lists and a Johto-only pokedex. If you're on the fence, you may want to flip through a copy in a store. It has 352 pages and some useful information but it's lacking in some areas. The second part will probably be the meatier guide if the DP guides are anything to go by (first part was about 300 pages, second part was over 450 pages). I still have my original Gold/Silver guide so I just wanted this to put next to it on the shelf.

 

[C-Jo]

I'm a little late with this as all of these pickups are from March. But a couple of these items took a while to arrive in the mail, and I wanted to take photos of everything together. You know, just to emphasize how ridiculous March 2010 was.

To start, the games:

The movies:

The books:

And the rest:

The 360 is a replacement for my recently RROD launch unit, the BSG box is a free replacement from Universal for the ugly-ass set released last year and the DSi XL... Well, I can't explain that, I just have some sort of problem.

 

[Lard]

Slim pickings in comparison to the last post. :/

 

[red shoe paul]

Univega Nuovo Sport: $80

Feel the Magic: $.50
Primal Rage: $1.29
Shaq Fu: $1

Found these at this comic place, and there's MUCH more old PS1, Genesis, SNES, GB, etc. where that came from at that low of a price. I'll be back there later this week to clean house.
Complete with manuals.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

It's been a while since I posted in a pick-up thread but I have a pretty awesome haul this month.

First up:

The first three volumes of Scott Pilgrim (4 & 5 are on their way as we speak).

Not only they fucked up the cover art, but I really hope the circle thing of the movie is a sticker and not print in it.
Its that version the UK one?

 

[MidnightScott]

I bought both of the games at launch. Beat SoulSilver the other day, just collecting Pokémon for the Pokédex. Also got the Lady Gaga The Fame Monster deluxe edition which has both albums. Yay!

 

[StickyFingers]

The lack of iPads makes me happy.

Some drinks for us EUrs,

MMmm, thirsty...

I mean, where on the net would I buy this stuff online?

 

[Auron_Kale]

Some new music:

 

[Kadey]

Isn't Dr.Pepper already....like...cherry?

 

[fernoca]

Not a lot..and as gifts or trade-in credit mostly..
While I wait to get some perlers/beads to make sprites, ordered a few from an awesome eBay seller (exodecai).. The Pikachu, was a custom one since I wanted one based on my current avatar..he made it quite fast and shipped it along with the others... (technically 2 days, since I ordered on Thursday, Friday was Holy Friday was closed, he shipped on Saturday, Sunday was closed and everything was here on Monday)

Full pic:

Closer pics:

I bought Pokemon SoulSilver and a Nintendo DSlite (silver) with trade-in credit (got the case to store it as a reward from Club Nintendo); received the Lugia figurine for free, then received the HeartGold "bundle" as a gift just a few days ago. Metroid Prime Trilogy was also a gift (under $20/new)..New Super Mario Bros. Wii, was also with trade-in credit.

 

[GQman2121]

Finally got my poster framed.
