NeoGAF DEC. 2013 Pick-Up Post!! Show Us Your Favorite Gaming Goods + More!

You must have the biggest physical backlog on GAF lol.

I enjoy seeing your retro pickups, btw.

I always flirt with it, but seems pricey. Current gen is pricey as is!

you have to be in the fuck it mindset and just go for it but if you have big monetary responsibility id suggest against it because it will be very draining on your wallet although you could still go for a small library instead of everything like im doing

I like the SG10 a lot, it's such a nice case. I recommend if you haven't opened up that Thermaltake, getting the Silverstone ST65F which is fully modular and grabbing the PP05 short cables. They are a necessity for this case, trust me.
 
Yes this is Shepard... kinda. My avatar is sad and confused, after seeing that face. Obviously Play Arts Kai didn't do a great job on this figure and it would look much better with a helmet. At least Shep wasn't as expensive as Tali was.

Garrus is next.
 
Is the shirt that reads, verbatim, "Church of Misery" a Church of Misery shirt? Is that the question you just asked?

What platforms are you gong for complete collections for?
 
I've done a small amount of Saturday morning shopping like usual:



I could always use an extra 360 controller for cheap. I have a bunch of Sega Genesis's, but this one is my first non-TMSS Genesis. I've confirmed there's no licensed by Sega logo on startup.

So jealous. I've been scouting Goodwill's for months for a Genesis let alone a non TMSS. Nice find.
 
My last two pick ups for 2013:

The FFX/X-2 Vita boxset is so lovely, and I can't wait to finally play Kamigami no Triforce 2!

Sorry for the bad quality, the Nexus 7 is currently the only camera in my house. Really loving the tablet, just not the greatest camera. The Pulp Fiction book is pretty great, almost want to tear out and frame some of the stills from the book.
 
Going to start the new year off right, so I'm enlisting a bit of help:

Have any fuelband impressions yet? I'm debating getting that or the Fitbit Force at the moment.

Not yet as I haven't set it up yet but I like that I can use my iPhone to track my progress mostly as well as some of the other features it offers. Regardless, I think anything that can motivate you to keep moving is a good thing.
 
Got these today.

Thanks for the input. The PC is built. Unfortunately, the motherboard is what is giving me issues. The CMOS has an issue with keeping time (even after Asus said to flash the bios in standby and replace the battery). The clock constantly switches time. It's also giving me random BSODs. Quite frustrating.
 
Wasn't really planning on picking anything up yesterday, yet I did this:

Since my 320GB Slim is completely full and I like to have a spare system just in case, I decided to pick up a 500GB SuperSlim now that they are still easy to get.
I'm in the middle of filling up the HDD with all my PSN games and content and then it goes back in the box for when it's needed.

Didn't have GT6 so that's a nice bonus. Already have TLOU but I'm sure I'll find someone to make happy with it.

Also finally found a brand new copy of Ridge Racer Vita that didn't go for a stupid price.

30pounds
and it's still available on amazon.co.uk for that price

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00979K9Z6/

It's really heavy (because of the full shooting script included). It's limited to 5000 in UK and mine is 4391

Oh and a poster with the Corleone family tree is also included.

Amazon UK had it for £28 recently.. Pretty amazing deal.

Edit: beaten. :-)

so awesome. i dont see any differences between the UK one and the copy i can get in the US. Region free means it will play in my blu ray player as well right?
 
What's the script like? Any pics? That's the bit thats most tempting :)


And no, that's not my handwriting :P
And it's 428 pages in total

It's 100$ on amazon.com :P
Region free means that any player should be able to play it. If you live in UK/EU, you should consider that importing it from US may add a customs fee on top.

would the customs fee be included on the amazon site? Even with shipping incuded its only 45 USD on amazon.uk.

I think it should say so if customs fees were included.

I ordered a Kindle from Amazon US (I'm in Europe) and it said so that customs fees were included beforehand, so I assume it's similar if you import from the UK to US.

Amazon Japan do this too (I'm in the UK). They provide an estimated amount to your total that should cover your order. Whenever I've paid this, I've not been hit with any additional charges.
 
Technology and entertainment to keep me going at the start of 2014 (i'll clean the table after seeing it in the picture....)
