I haven't, I don't think I ever played the version that came with my A Link to the Past on GBA either. While I don't have enough Gameboy advances for the serious multiplayer, I think I will be happy enough with the single player.

1st Passport. Wife and I are leaving to go to Europe for a cruise today. We are going to Spain, Portugal, Casablanca, Morocco, and I think the Canary Islands. 9 days of no work, no BS and no SFIV. One of those things I am really going to miss :lol

Time to close the curtains, dim the lights, and spend the next ten hours sitting in front of my TV.

Shitty pic is the result of DSi camera + shaky hands.
 
Some of my last Feb pickups arrived today!

Bioshock from the $9.99 sale at BB here in Canada, and Cowboy Bebop complete anime legends set as I've been putting it off for awhile and it was on sale!

(Man I spent too much this month, lol)

Awesome, thanks!

Edit: It says it's not valid :(.

Looks like somebody was quicker, then :(

Edit: I'm less than an hour in and I already shat a whole building a couple times :lol I'm sooo not playing this with the lights off.

Controls are a little clumsy, but actually intuitive once you get the hang on them.

And if you want a copy, yesasia had them a month ago (when I made the order) though a little pricey (around $65) but with free international shipping. Remember you can get an english patch that will work as region-free as well with your original disk. No need to mod the console or patch isos at all!

BTW, mine came with a Wii Fit Plus ad brochure, so there has been a re-issue not long ago and the game shouldn't be that hard to find.
 
Wow I post that I got it back in December and no one gave a shit (Fatal Frame 4)

Translation patch for the win, but it can't save the game from the abysmal controls.

Wait... there's a BS2 box with the shrink wrap still on... did you get 2 copies?
Oh no. It's the shrink wrap of the box, i cut it just from the sides so it doesnt falls and keep it that way. It was a bit hard to find here, and all other SE were already sold.
 
They been pushing for weeks now, "SOON!" then I Miss the release, sheesh. Everything else Square is on sale this week on iphone too!

That sucks - you would think someone would post to the thread that they were taking it. Grrrr.

How hard is it to apply the patch? Do I need to jump through hoops to do it? If it's easy then I'm totally in, love the series.

You just need half a brain cell to follow some easy steps:
Check your Wii menu version to get the correct loader
Get the patch itsef
Copy files into SD card
Access SD Menu/Data Management to trigger the loader installer/uninstaller
Once installed, repeat the previous step to start the loader
Insert original disk
???
Profit.

HAH! That's assuming I have half a brain cell :D.

YesAsia claims it's Japan-only. Is there more than one version? Sorry for all the questions...

Edit: Am I correct in assuming the loader allows the game to be region-free? That would explain it.

The patch will make it work on PAL and NTSC/UC consoles as well.
 
Got my new graphics card today, not high end but quite a step up from a Ati 1950pro. Also these cards are freaking long!

I haven't posted anything in ages. Recent pickups include some games, an MST3K set, a very random selection of CDs, and some video-game themed bananas!

For those very few people that might be interested: Deadly Premonition is NOT regionfree contrary to some reports I've found. Too bad I can;t play it I was hoping this would be a pretty cool Z-grade game.

Beautiful Heavy Rain Boxart.

The Euro version of Heavy Rain always comes with this particular paper cover simulating rain involving the game, or it is a limited edition?

I hated the generic American cover, thinking to import the Euro one.

Been waiting for a used copy of Bowser's Inside Story, but they always get snatched up. This is actually my 4th 360(thank you tax return!). Haven't had a working 360 for almost a year so I had to grab Fable 2(loving it so far). Heavy Rain, derp.

*obligatory iPhone pic appolgy
edit: actually, I just got the iPhone. But it's my work mobile and didn't cost a cent to upgrade. 16g 3GS. Refurb'd, but you couldn't tell looking at it.

That's the Heavy Rain CE, so I guess you could say it's limited. Very nice box. :)
 
Adding to the collection-

And my other sticks under the TV stand. The other TE stick is a PS3 one, and the other custom stick is the 360 one.

Been wanting a TE for 360 and the $100 price at gamestop was right.

Would be nice to collect all of these TE versions but I'm not that rich.

Casablanca is IN Morocco :(
But yeah enjoy your trip, especially the Moroccan food (the best in the world IMO) :)
 
I do believe this is my first pick-up post. It's not much. Also, sorry for the awful pictures. I lost my digital camera a while back and all I have is my phone.

Heavy Rain

Pink eye. Just what I need after 3 days of being sick. Yuck. I'm going to just go ahead and link this and let you gross yourself out if you must. :D

Where did you get the Cowboy Bebop?

It's been out for a couple of months now. I got it from BestBuy.ca here in Canada for $32ish, but I think RightStuf has it for less ($29) if you're in the U.S.

MUST OWN. But yea, great pick up bro.
 
I'm pretty sure I have a DS case like that by Nyko from when the DS launched. It looks nearly exactly the same but doesn't have the Edgeworth logo on it.
 
Whee, my first pick-up post! XD
My new HDTV for my room, as family members have hijacked my larger 32-inch model, which is currently downstairs.
