Back from first day of game shopping in Japan. Being much more conservative this trip and focusing on specific items. Got some great deals on the PC Engine stuff and a Dreamcast arcade stick for $2!

Been to Mandarake and Trader I see.
I need to go back if only for a weekend shopping trip. Fuck eBay prices.

No, didn't go to Mandrake yet. Maybe next week. In no rush anymore. Trying to practice some control.

Ah, I thought those were Mandarake stickers on the Outrun, Alien Crash and Valis III PCE cases. Nice haul so far by the way.

Got a pretty good deal. First time having a PS3, it is hard to decide where to start.

So it's been a super long time since i've posted here on GAF. So i'm gonna show my main pick-ups over the past few months till now!
It's been a pretty expensive few months for me, I'm amazed at how I even afford half the stuff!
WiiU Limited Edition Zelda Wind Waker HD Pack
Zelda Wind Waker HD: Limited Edition
So I managed to sell the download code that came with my WiiU so I could put some money towards this awesome edition!
WiiU Games
Got these over the past few months at great prices, Tekken being the latest.
3DS XL & Games
So I had the OG 3DS almost 2 years ago and sold it during the great drought of games. But since last year, the 3DS has turned into a beast of a machine with so many good games, so I couldn't resist! I'm currently playing through Zelda first.
PS Vita & Games
This thing is such a beauty! Dragons Crown looks gorgeous.
There's more I've picked up this month, will post when the rest of the items arrive in the post.

Great, considering the power I have inside. I went with a lot of quiet/low noise solutions (CoolerMaster 200mm MegaFlow front fan, H100i with 2x Noctua NF-F12s, SusCool80, ACX on the 780 Ti). Overall, for the power output, it's great.
Using the Asus AI suite on silent means I can barely hear the computer. On standard, I can hear a slight whisper. At load/gaming, the 780Ti gets somewhat loud but not bad at all.
If I crank the 780 Ti's fan to max, though, it sounds like the case might take off. It's really loud at 100% fan. That being said, I've never seen it go above 60% fan speed under serious load (Metro: LL maxed out).
The acoustics of the case itself are fine, but gotta keep in mind it has 2 vented side panels so the video card/radiator can breathe. It's not the best at trapping noise, I just chose exceptionally quiet components.
Awesome, thanks for the info it's very much appreciated! I might just have to go for a quiet oriented case instead, was hoping I could have my cake and eat it with the corsairs
Great thread, great buys people!
Here's my haul for the month. I've been rebuying old games I used to own and traded (never making that mistake again) back in the day. I do this every few months haha. I actually have Twilight Princess on the Wii but decided to nab the GC version because I hated the waggle controls. I feel they ruined the experience for me so I thought I'd give it another chance.
Next month is gonna be a wallet-killer.

For Life and Hometown <3
Yay! Mine is sat at home waiting for me... (^^)
That's the only purchase you'll need. That game is amazing, I absolutely loved it.
I usually don't go for digital versions, but this was discounted in the eshop.
Loved 999 and really wanted to play this since it came out.
No, didn't accidentally get the wrong season box. Watched all the seasons already on HBO, but my father was curious about the series so we're watching it together.
I keep on having to remind him who is who even after he saw the complete first season, but he's still interested and asks when I can visit so we can watch the next episode, so at least he's enjoying the show.
He probably enjoys your company too. :>
I have been in the market for a copy of Infinite Space as well. How do you like the game thus far, and where were you able to find it for a reasonable price?
I know I know. Never had a good chance to buy the black label. I need to grab Tales of Eternia before its harder to find as well.
I also just realized i forgot to put my Tales of Xillia CE in there as well.

My launch day Vita and I celebrated our second anniversary a few days ago, so I've been getting it lots of nice things this month.
Amazing games right there! You are going to have a lot of fun over the next few weeks on the Vita
My new arcade stick.
This stick looks fantastic! I still need to buy one.

CDJapan shipped this on Monday and the post office tried to deliver it yesterday but no one was home. Really impressed with them.
I recieved it today so I haven't played it yet
. I'll get into it after River City Ransom EX. I got it for 65 PLN ($20 or 15 EUR) from a fellow collector who was selling it on a Polish Game Boy forum.
Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare
Still have your Nuon machine?
Aside from Rock Band 3, no gaming pickups this month. However I got a turntable on Christmas and have been starting to buy some vinyl for it. This beautiful bastard came in a couple of days ago.

Sweet, got my complete copy of Super Mario 64 Rumble Pak Edition. Its so cool to get rumble feedback when jumping on Goombas and other baddies or taking damage.

A great day for new arrivals!
Senran Kagura Burst (3DS) - Delighted to finally get this. Life & Hometown Edition bought without question/hesitation.
Yakuza Ishin (PS4) - First PS4 import of many over the coming years, no doubt. Unexpected OST disc was a nice surprise, and stop the presses - is that a FULL COLOUR INSTRUCTION MANUAL like the ones from the old days?! Well blow me down, it actually is...
Much instruction
Very Import
Hey, thanks for translating the lyrics sheet into English, SEGA! Now try doing it for the whole game...
SMT IV OST Set - Lovely set for an awesome game.
