Now is the time to post your favorite pick-ups of 2010! What'd you get?

Here are some of my favorites...

Yeah, I'm lame.

I'd post a bunch of pics of hot chicks, but it's not important

lol.

Happy Holidays all!

 

[ArchAngel]

 

[Yes Boss!]

Last month was lots of cool XBLA stuff so I'm starting this month with PSN love.

God bless VC. A Neo Geo game I've never played!

Candy Care Package from my twin brother!

Oh yeah, my favorite pick-up of the year. My PS3 Hori VLX. Sadly, never used and in storage for a few years. Really gotta get a 360 version and make it a Seimitsu shooter stick:

 

[CaseyTappy]

A New month , a new PCB :

For December it's Armed Police Batrider , Raizings finest !

 

[StuBurns]

I bought:

Avatar Something Edition
Vanquish with awesome 3D cover
Metropolis BluRay and useless DVD Edition
Minority Report exclusively lower bitrate non-US Edition

I didn't buy:

The two pens and a watch

 

[eXistor]

Picked up a secondhand Maximo. There's a little rip in the paper, but otherwise it's fine. For €1,- I can't really complain. Also platterhouse, which wasn't exactly on my to-buy list, but the game is a ton of fun. It's not a good game though, I can totally see where the low-ish scores are coming from, it's just that...I don't think it really matters for this game. It does what you expect it to do: smash thousands of monsters to a bloody pulp. It's repetitive sure, the camera is not great, the framerate...ehh, but again it's fun baby!

I also got Mario All-Stars for the Wii, but forgot to take it home with me, so next time.

I can't seem to get upload my pic at photobucket at the moment, so I'll add it when it works again.

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

Drift Tengoku (Dec issue), D1 Street Legal DVD and GT5!!!! Yeah I love cars

 

[WEGGLES]

Coolermaster CM 690 II

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119215

There's an "Advanced Model" that has a spot to install a hard drive in a spot on the top, and all the 5.25 bays are tool less.

 

[Rengoku]

Here's my big pickup of the year:

Big upgrade considering my previous one was an 12 year old corolla

Nice. One thing I definitely wanna do at some point is finally build that supergun I've been meaning to construct, and then pick up the Raizing shmups that didn't come to the Saturn.

Really a shame what happened to that company.

 

[tsigo]

Coolermaster CM 690 II

Hell yes it is. Love that case.

 

[WEGGLES]

Mind if i ask your specs?

i5-750
4GB DDR3
XFX ATI HD5850

The cooler on the CPU is a Scythe Mugen 2 Rev B

Motherboard is the Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3 USB3 board.

I decided I'm going to finally build a supergun next month. My new year's resolution. I'm going to take a Hori PS3 stick (the amazon white stick) and rewire it with an old non-analog PS1 controller and connect it to my homemade supergun via Laugh's PS->jamma connector. Started buying parts and everything! I can't seem to find a Neobitz anywhere (do they still even make these?) so I might have to go with a Jrok. I think I'll start a thread early next year. You should build one too!

Nice. Look at the size of that cooler.

 

[WEGGLES]

Nice. Look at the size of that cooler.

It almost looks like a novelty oversized cooler :lol I went to get the CM 212+ when it was onsale in august at Microcentre, they were out so they gave me a deal on that. It's gargantuan.

[Kagari]

wtf, i didn't know about this either.

I stumbled on it by accident really. Had it saved for later on my account because I wanted it eventually and saw that it had decreased in price. Now it's back up to $29.99: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0035LD7WO/?tag=neogaf0e-20

guess i'll save them to cart just in case.

 

[Tony Rocky Horror]

New external monitor. (LG E2360V-PN - 23" 1080p). Loving it so far.

As far as I know, it should be a relatively easy thing for me, since I've got an XRGB-3. Which I think means I'm halfway there. I just need the jamma harness, a power supply, and maybe like one or two other minor things.

I just accomplished my most recent purchase goal (getting new speakers) a few days ago, so I suppose the supergun might as well be next... I should post pics of that shit just so I can stay on topic, I guess.... oh well, tomorrow.

 

[Dave Long]

Does stuff ordered in November but delivered in December count for November or December?

 

[popsicle_sundays]

2006 Acura RSX

Stickshift?

 

[Yes Boss!]

Chacranajxy,

Yeah, easy and cheap. It will be a quick weekend project. Shocked how simple they are to put together. Only difficult part is making a custom case. I'm using an external dedicated Happ-Suzo power supply because I've got an extra from one of my cabinets.

Never thought about using an XRGB-3 to spool it to an HDTV. I'm planning on picking up the new version coming next year...not for the supergun but simply for Saturn playback.

I just could not settle on a controller but using the mechanics from a Hori stick is simple enough.

Don't know if I'd start collecting PCBs since it is a bit too rich for my blood but I'm hoping to get a Pink Sweets for a good price once the J360 port drops. That is my dream PCB and would complete my Ibara collection.

In any case, I'm going to make a thread so join in when you build one!

 

[Benjamin_MFF]

December.

 

[eternaLightness]

$10 from Amazon! Think this will be my last pick up of the year though.

 

[SlickVic]

$10 on Amazon after the rebate. Been looking for a good deal on a gaming mouse for a while and kind of lucked out with this deal.

 

[ChryZ]

Finally a new PC this year:

My favorite single malt pick up of the year:

Fatty R.I.P. Slim successor:

Dedicated PSP3000 for my Japanese PSN activations:

Here's my big pickup of the year:

Yeah, but I bet that Corolla served you well. Congrats on the new car.

[Misterinenja]

Ugh just looking like that makes me cringe. I have the same case and my wires are so fucked up in comparison. :lol

 

[tsurugi no mai]

$16.99

Fuck. I had to miss that.

 

[Litflynt912]

Three of my medium/big pickups in 2010...had many many more..but this year has been more about spending time with family and the job front...more pickups to come!

 

[U2NUMB]

Started the month off with the biggest purchase this year.. so far I love it.

 

[careksims]

Gotta' love Amazon

 

[antiquegamer]

GT5 ... finally.

"Definitive" collections ...

Turbine Headphone from Amazon's Gold Box deal. Not bad for the price I got it from.

Also got a v-Moda vibe for $20.00 at Costco.

The Turbine definitely sound better ...

 

[oblo]

Too bad I'm playing Gran Turismo... Exclusively. :lol

 

[sixteen-bit]

Favorite pickup from the year thus far is my JPS2.
I just need a J360 now :lol
