My computer bit the dust early in the month so I had no way of posting my pickups for several weeks. 
However, my friend lent me an old PC so now I can finally post the stuff I've gotten from Black Friday through today!
Lots of great stuff for Wii, DS, and 3DS.
All of the games were extremely cheap due to sales, coupons, and B2G1 deals.
Got lots of PS3 & 360 games I've wanted for a while now and 2 PSP memory sticks dirt cheap.
Most of the BluRays are from Black Friday sales but I got Cowboys & Aliens at my local grocery store with free snacks for less than Best Buy/Amazon's price!
My Club Nintendo Platinum reward and the guide for Drakengard 2.
I still need to track down the guide for the first game though...
I picked up this nice 27 inch CRT for my bedroom at Goodwill for $4.99!
We had a holiday auction at my office Christmas party and this is all the stuff I won.
Some random finds at Goodwill.
The Saturn stuff was bundled together for $15 and Monopoly is still sealed and was $0.99!
I've wanted all of these books for years and I got all 4 for less than the cost of 2 on eBay!
The Reaper DVDs and The Simpsons BluRay were backorders from Black Friday, Nintendogs was dirt cheap at Best Buy, Naruto was on clearance at Target, and It's Always Sunny was on sale for $18.99.
I didn't take a picture of them but I got a 320GB Hard Drive for my new 360 (which I got in November) and a new winter coat for Christmas.
I'm planning to go out and buy a handful of cheap games on Friday (payday, woo) and then I'm saving up to buy a new PC!

Awesome!

Went to Amazon and ordered it, thanks man..
I'm an expert
Formerly worldrevolution. The only reason I am nice to anyone else is to avoid being banned.
Ugh seeing those Utena boxsets brings back some memories from over a decade ago.. I think I still have the original 7/6 episode dvds they first released. How many times have they rereleased it now over the years..
Actually, only a small handful of times. Utena was out of print prior to Right Stuf's recent release, and those old CPM discs used to fetch decent prices online.

It's been a long journey but I only have 3 left until I own everything.
Nujabes feat. Apani B - Thank You
Nujabes feat. Shing02 - Luv (sic) Pt. 2
Nujabes - flowers/after hanabi
It's going to be fun taking a group shot of everything once I get those last 3.

Finally took the plunge! Can't wait to get it all installed.
I bought this board too!
Complete piece of shit. Bad BIOS, came with a bent socket pin, etc.
Good luck!
Mine's all good so far! Bad luck on your part I suppose. All reviews I read were pretty glowing.

I like it so far. I know a lot of GAF was hating on the controller, saying they all had problems with it (I'm guessing R2D4 did), but none with mine so far. I'm having a hard time getting used to actually using the two additional bumpers (I frequently just end up setting them to RB and LB so they basically don't exist), but I feel like once I do get used to it it'll be awesome for games like Halo.

Oh my, I want this too.
I'll post my pickups later
lol I'm pretty sure I owned that TV too. It was GREAT except mine had this strange alignment issue. I had to end up returning it.
Do you know what it was like to have to return those TVs back then? 500lbs back and forth... not fun

I would've killed myself trying to carry it if that were true, hahaha!
I was able to carry it out of the store by myself so I don't think it weighs more than 100lbs.
Now the Sony XBR960 I have in my game room is another story - that beast ways just under 300lbs!
The picture is fantastic and it makes my SNES games look great!
These are probably my pickups of the decade! Two Alaskan Klee Kai puppies!
This little guy is Dexter
And this is Arya
I got a bunch of other stuff this month like a new computer and a TV, but none it feels nearly as important as them
Cute...I'm jelly!

Picked up a couple of DS games earlier today.
VariantX04
Loser slave of the system :(
Nice! I recently upgraded to this:
Looking to get some studio monitors next.
I haven't posted in a long ass time. Here we go...
My new PC
I think I already posted this. Oh well...here it is again.

Massive Black Vol 1
The Art of Alice: Madness Returns
The Art of Oddworld Inhabitants

I paid good money for this Dynex!
A7Xs? Nice. Been using those as my computer speakers for a little over a year, and couldn't be happier.
Ugh I think you got the copy I've been waiting for like a week for! Is this the US version?
It is. Paid $54 for it, used.

Fanatec CSR-Elite. Just done hardmounting it to the little table, overkill for the amount of gaming I do but it feels so nice.
It is. Paid $54 for it, used.
I ordered mine from the UK for $15 including shipping. Yes I know the audio isn't lossless.
Damn bro, I sold a extra copy on ebay for like $30 a couple weeks back. Great movie btw!It is. Paid $54 for it, used.
I'll probably end up getting a UK copy just so I can loan it out to friends. I really, really want more people to see it because it's an amazing movie. And what better way to get people to watch it than "here, take this and watch it (make sure you give it back)" ?
It really is. I've already watched it twice in the past week, and I think I'm going to go in for another watch with commentary. Completely engrossing movie. Doesn't get old.
I've never seen it before. I can't wait. It's one of the only Fincher films I haven't seen. Too bad it's OOP in the US.
You're in for a treat. Not only is it the best Fincher film I've seen, but it's easily working its way up to one of the best films I've seen period. It successfully does three separate things with as close as one can get to perfection in film -- thriller, police procedural, and period piece. It's lovely.
Which other Finchers have you not yet seen, btw?
Alien 3 and Benjamin Button haha. I've already been told not to bother with the other two. It's funny too cause I watched Panic Room on Netflix last week and I actually really enjoyed it. I thought I would hate it, but it's a fun film with several good actors in it.
You might consider grabbing cedar shoe trees if you haven't already. Reduces the creasing you can already start to see on those, and prolongs the life of dress shoes by absorbing moisture.
I have plenty. They're in my shoes right now actually.
Awesome custom game-room carpet get!
What I did - ran an EMU (ZSNES) and spliced together several screenshots. I had to pixel-edit the backdrop to get it to fit properly. then I blew the whole thing up to 4'x8', without any antialiasing or interpolation, and had a photo-rug company make a 1:1 print!
WORTH IT.
Very nice. Very nice. Care to list the photo-rug company?

How much, out of curiosity.

Iconic image. Remember seeing that screenshot in Ace magazine in 1990 something. Dont think ive been as excited for the next gen as i was back then.
