That d pad looks brutal.

It's better then the one on the original version:

 

[Yes Boss!]

Sometimes it pays to put off importing a title. Really like the XBLA Sky Stage and quite pleased to be able to play it on the beautiful Go screen with a Dualshock 3. Playing this and Arc the Lad on the plane ride back home for the holidays.

 

[Flek]

oh i forgot - my pickups of the year <3

*those are not the "most expensive things" but the things i love the most from my pickups of the year. And yes pictures are all taken by me <3

oh and the pro stick reminds me that i still have it laying here in parts and need to fix it / write about it … fuck … well will be my "new year project" and then i can test it with arcana hearts 3 <3 yehaaaaaa

 

[mf.luder]

My friend was able to get me sweet deals on these two items. Never would have picked them up otherwise. I like the texture of the D-Pad, very smooooooooth.

 

[mehdi_san]

I just grabbed this old classic. Beautiful edition for my favorite anime, I think it's time for my 4th rewatch
Here's the box:

Once opened, with the 7 DVDs

Each box has a different design (CD-R, dvd, VHS, PS2 game, etc...)

Oh I love that new keypad! Is that in stores now? I need to keep an eye out for that.

 

[Carnby]

My Splatterhouse preorder bonus finally arrived in the mail today.

i put a u.s. quarter on the base of it to show its actual size. the mask has some weight to it too. this was not a cheap piece of crap like the Batman:AA baterang was.

 

[InfectedZero]

A30 Wireless Audio System. Its pretty fantastic

 

[grap3fruitman]

Damn it Activision, stop taking my money! >=(

Spoiler

Now I own both of these titles on PC, 360 and PS3. With two copies of MW2 on 360. Seven Modern Warfares in my house. Ffffff...

 

[Kintaco]

So far only this, but in all honesty thanks to it I probably won't be making more pick ups anytime soon.

Where did you buy it ? I'm saving up to buy it. Such a great box set.

 

[BocoDragon]

^ Even a mock PS2 game? Not gonna lie... that's pretty awesome.

 

[MidnightScott]

It arrived from Amazon, with some dents on the side of the box...-_-;: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5241/5264786329_678eee086e_z.jpg

I left Amazon negative feedback for that.

 

[mehdi_san]

Thanks for the comments.

Damn that's awesome. Waiting on the inevitable blu-ray box though.

Did you check the bluray version for Samurai Champloo? I heard bad things about the picture quality, so my expectations for a CB bluray release are really low to be honest.

Grabbed it unopened from Yahoo Auctions. You can get it cheaper if you go for a used one.

Champloo blu-ray looks fine... but it's an upscale.

Bebop would DEFINITELY be an upscale... so perhaps you are right to not bother.

 

[Sevket-Erhat]

Cowboy Bebop Boxset is amazing. I love the anim

 

[Femmeworth]

I don't even want to know how much that Cowboy Bebop boxet is worth. D:

Damn it, just seeing that picture of young Faye really gets me. ;_;

 

[Damaged]

It's better then the one on the original version:

Wow, havent seen one of those in years, had one when i was a kid and not sure what happened to it. Will have to check the attic at my dad's :lol

Edit: Holy crap @ that bebop box set, Think ill be selling the guitar for that now

 

[neojubei]

Picked up some iOS games

 

[sikkinixx]

11.6" Air. So fucking pretty. Very snappy performance wise as well. I'm having trouble getting used to using a trackpad again :lol

Funimation just did an upscale for SC, but I believe I read somewhere that CB was going to be the real deal.

Oh my fucking god this is out. Ordered. Fucking ordered!

 

[tturunen]

well, here is something little bit different pickup (of the year) from couple days ago.
And not even my pickup but my better half got this one <3

background:
Sammon Tekijät = Sampo Makers
(Sampo is part of Finnish mythology: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampo)
Finnish Government made a decision to grant awards recognize the 200th anniversary meeting in last year.
The award qualification was new kind of thinking, creativity, innovation and utility for young Finnish entrepreneurs. Sampo Awards was only granted this once.
So in 14. December Finnish Culture and Sport Minister, Stefan Wall, did reward 10 young entrepreneurs by this Sammon Tekijät award, including my spouse.
By her Manga Cafe in here Finland and her work in anime/manga society.
And that award is not just paper in pretty frame. Its worth of 50 000 euros.

Seimitsu stuffs :

Japanese arcade parts look so pretty to me <3
What are you planning on using them for?

They are for a Sega Aero City I just bought , 2 new LS 32 sticks and some buttons but I'm not sure if I like the transparent or normal buttons so I bought both types .
The thing on the left is a E-Limitator that switches between 8 way / 4 way / 2 way horizontal and 2 way vertical with the press of a single button on a 8 way stick , that's really handy when you play games needing 4 way controll like Pacman or Donkey Kong with a 8 way joystick .
I will put that on my Capcom mini cute !

 

[Yes Boss!]

Pics of the Aero City when it arrives, obviously! Love seeing all the neat stuff you get each month. Damn, you've got one hell of a gaming budget.

Nah , I didn't buy that stuff all at once you know .
Usually just one PCB a month or something like that .

 

[AnkitT]

Caol Ila and Glenmorangie.

Inception special edition, GT5 Collectors edition and Avatar extended edition

Cat's cradle by Kurt Vonnegut(First thing I ever bought online) and Razer mamba(Absolutely fuckin love it! )

Here's the box:

What is the name of this particular set? I did a quick search but I couldn't find it. I'm just curious about the pricing/availability. Also, what languages are on this release?

I don't usually go for big box sets but the mixed media theme of this one is right up my alley and it fits the show so well!

 

[xelios]

So I don't know much about imported games but I see all these said NTSC-J; can anyone tell me what exactly I picked up at an estate sale for $20? Bunch of random crap games (dunno half of them)? They're all in these weird plastic slips too.

P.S. What's the Namco game next to Rez?

 

[Yes Boss!]

$20.

Wow 0.o

You fricken scored. Namco game is Klanoa 2.

Some gems in there. You could ebay that stuff and make a handy sum.

Plastic slips means somebody likely took care of them. Used Japanese games are sold in them.

 

[BocoDragon]

That's a REALLY good collection of J games.

 

[Borman]

Klonoa 2
