Verizon iPhone. I thought this day would never come...
And this doesn't really count as a pick-up... I actually won this from Giant Bomb!

Perfect! I love that you're living the NES dream in 2011... Last year was a big NES year for me personallyCoachKevin said:
My collection ballooned from 10 titles to 80 (although it looks like you're leapfrogging me there!) Still, I found em all in the wild, so it was a long and exciting journey!SuperJ said:
I applaud you for having the BEST Famicom/NES available. I have an AV Fami, and I love it.
Although I will say, for the record, toaster NES's aren't that finicky, contrary to popular belief. Just two things: First, get a new, more firm 72 pin connector if yours is worn (the new one likely won't wear, though it's not so "zero force" anymore
). Second, I said to CoachKevin above, clean every game as they come into your collection, and a toaster NES will boot first time, every time.Of course with your setup you only need one console hooked up, which is awesome. I wouldn't mind a NES adapter either, just for full compatibility. I just thought I'd mention it to others who might be interested in NES.

I've got nothing but love for my original NES. She's got a brand new 72 pin connector and the difference is night and day compared to how bad it was in the old days. I didn't mean to sound like I was being down on it or anything. =) I'll never part with either of them.

I rarely buy stuff off Rakuten.com's auction section but I couldn't resist last night. I ended up buying a sealed copy of Samba De Amigo ver.2000 . I've been wanting my own copy ever since it was released back in 2000.
Anyhow, the plastic wrapper had SAMPLE stuck onto it but after unwrapping it, it seems to be just a regular pressed copy.
The only difference I can notice is its missing a spine card and it has Not for sale Sample printed on the inner ring of the disc. I am fairly sure not many of these "copies" are floating around in the wild and I probably made a Dreamcast collector cry by cracking her out of her factory wrapping. But hey, what's the fun of owning games if you don't play them?
I am so glad I picked up a second spare set of maracas a few months ago. Now if I can play with my wife in the love-love mode/mini games.
It was a pretty cheap pickup too. I paid 500yen after shipping. With this purchase, my Dreamcast collection is nearly complete!

Just reliving some of my childhood. Born in 1986, I missed out on owning titles like Castlevania III, Metroid, etc. I am trying to retrain myself to be more patient.
I think I am at about 200 unique games, or at least will once all the shipments come in.
The biggest pain is having to buy batteries to replace the dead ones in Zelda 1, 2, Crystalis (never played before!), etc.
Also for some reason I really want to play all of the Tengen games after hearing the tengen Retronauts podcast.
Edit: I will post a pic of all the games later today, also I think this would be a great time for a GAF plays NES thread... wink-wink nudge-nundge.
(Shitty camera phone sorry)
- Locke & Key 2, I saw this on a previous pick up and grabbed the first vol some time ago and loved it.
- Leon
- Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind
- Scott Pilgrim vs the World (Blu Ray)
- Clerks II (why the hell is this out of print in the UK?)
- Clerks Collectors Edition

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Finally worked up the courage to buy this thing.
Sorry for the crappy pics. I have an iphone, which, as you all know, is an iphone. I think I've explained myself adequately.
Anyway, this was a blind buy for me. I hope I like it, but if not... well, the thing seems to have a pretty damn good market going for it right now.

Sengoku Musou 3Z (PS3) (AKA Samurai Warriors 3+XL Expansion)
Feels good having this game running at 60FPS. It plays a lot smoother, and although there are some frame rate drops here and there, it isn't as bad as Musou Orochi Z's were so far. The game also got a nice visual boost from the Wii version. It looks really nice now.

When I had the gold version at launch in the UK it was just like that gold case, but all over. the n64 games were on a 2nd disk next to the main game, was real cool.seady said:
..I played the n64 games more then WW and then sold it :S, I have an excuse though! I only played about 1h of the n64 games at a friends house and never owned an n64 myself at the time, so they were a new great experience for me.

Ebay. It was only being sold in limited quantities on Rightstuf and Bandai's shop. But last time I checked, the price was like... double.
And it's 8 discs. There's 8 movies, which vary in length from like an hour to two hours...
Diablohead said:
8 discs and a book.

If this was something released here, it would probably have a $99.99 MSRP. Unfortunately though DVD's and Blu have always been terribly overpriced in Japan.

Amazon.co.jp still has it for $400.

oh yeah, forgot there were still some copies on Amazon Japan.
It was funny -- a couple days ago, there were a few marketplace listings on Amazon.jp that were asking approx. $1300 for the set.

Wow, I felt like an explorer finding a treasure yesterday. I was browsing this random second hand store and found Tombi 1 (or Tomba in the US) for PSone for a whopping 2,-. Needless to say I took it home immediately. Unfortunately no booklet, but for 2,- who cares. I'll post pictures of my haul when I get a new pc, that's the reason I haven't been posting anything lately, but there's enough to be posted.
