NeoGAF APRIL Pick-Up Post!(Show us your gaming/non-gaming goods!)

VOOK

We don't know why he keeps buying PAL, either.
Picked this one up today. Cost are mere $350 and is in pretty good condition. The sound didn't work to start with but thats cos someone had disconnected it but its all good now. The coin slot doesn't work (it works but doesn't register) so you just wack the credit buttons on the inside.

The plan is to restore it to 100% like new condition and either completely rip out what is in there and put a MAME computer with a ton of new games and a new screen (but yeh that will take a bit)

The game inside of it is Mr Do!, released in 1982 by Universal the game is essentailly Dig Dug/Mr Driller clone but its really cool as you have a ball you can shoot out as well that follows the paths.

Check out some pics...

Three games in 2 weeks, it's been long since I've actually spend that much money on games in such a short period of time.

You sir have good taste. What's the CD on the right? I own He Poos Cloud and Has A Good Home, but not that one...
It's "Whore Luck" from Picastro. Owen and parts of Xiu Xiu are featured on it.

Will pick up GTA IV this month and maybe Grand Turismo for PS3.
WTF @ that splinter cell box.

mine is kinda grey, and has him walking away from an explosion in the bottom left hand corner. Did they release a different boxart between canada and the US, or change the boxart at some point?

I wish I got into it 10 years ago :(

MGS GBC seems to have not aged well. I don't really see myself going through it.

Why didn't you get silver, Costanza? ;)
1( it's sorta ugly
2( I'd played Daxter already
3( Circuit City had a 2GB MS Pro Duo for 24.99
4( I own Family Guy on DVD

Those are very good reasons.

I still think it looks better than black, though. :p
Dude, the silver kinda looks like it has glitter on it. I'd probably have gotten it if it was just plain grey, but it's wayyyyy too shiny.

Too bad the white one didn't get released over here. (no I don't want darth vader on the back of my psp)

I spotted it tonight at the gamespot while picking up MGS saga bonus DVD. It is a LE, the box has a red slip cover and under it you see Sam's face with red overlay of his night vision gear. Pretty cool for about $15 with Edge card.

It is awfully sparkly.

Will drop pants for Sony.
So many people with the Saga disc and Boston still does not have it. Well hopefully it'll be in on Monday.

It's kinda subjective, but I prefer the Black.

It matches my PS3, DSLite, and the Black just looks more like a cool piece of technology, imo.

I, at first, hated the silver. I thought black was the best, and you couldn't get any better than that. I saw one out in public once, and it (for some reason) totally changed my mind about the silver. I think the main reason is that it hides fingerprints way better.

Pretty good weekend for me, I got SF Anniversary for PS2 for $7.50 and F-Zero GX for $15 today and yesterday. So I've gotten about 13 or so games the past 2 months or so, which is pretty good considering I usually get about 2-3 a year. The game thumb from SF3/Hyper was free. :(

My brother has the Silver one, It's alright, but I likes my black! :D

I saw a cool PSP mod though, that had the light-colored buttons from the Silver one in the Black case. It was damn sexy!

Awesome TV Router, Samsung is the way to go.


Yeah, I'm a big fan of Samsung. I did get a Sony LCD last year but I hated it. Switched back to Samsung last month and love it.

I don't even want to know how much that costs. :lol

They were selling them for $20 a season here in Toronto. I picked up the whole thing.

I do want to know what is on that special edition of the movie though.

Ah, that's not bad then. I was imagining normal dvd season prices. :lol

Most are actually down to ~20 bucks. walmart has shittons of box sets for 20 bucks.

Futureshop and HMV recently raised them back up to $49.99 for some reason. Apparently when they reordered them from the distributor they cost more. You can definitely still find them in the wild for $20 though.

Walmarts by me don't carry them and everyone else has them full price except for the first 2 or 3 seasons.

I was with n8nmonster when he bought those, he's such a sucker :p !

Although, I would have purchased the Robotech complete collection if it hadn't been for that crushed box it was in X_X
