Where did you get the controller?

How is it?

It's Rocketfish so it must be Best Buy (or Best Buy-owned Future Shop in Canada).. it's their brand. They usually make good stuff too.

It looks surprisingly decent.. the buttons look real... and wireless?? A wavebird knockoff is so needed in this age of scarcity... what's with the octagon edges though??

It's a Rocketfish that I picked up from Best Buy for $20.99, works very well. I have yet to notice any sort of lag.

Had a little trouble out of the box with synching to the receiver, but after doing a manual sync by pressing a paperclip size button on the back of the controller it worked just fine. Feels great in the hands, though I can't say that I have ever really gotten used to how a GC controller feels, hehe

Highly suggest it

I've been following this thread for entirely too long... time to make my first contribution.

The Dark Spire is actually a Christmas pick up, but it's definitely a great one. Game is kicking my ass, though. Just a few days after getting it, I've already put a few good hours in Dragon Ball, and it's good simple fun. Hopefully the second makes it over to the US.

Two other pick ups from the end of December. The Otacon figure my old roommate got me years ago finally has a Snake pal to help out. Meanwhile, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is a pretty wonderful movie, and I definitely approve of the "customization" that my friend did to the box...

I won't lie, this is pretty much the reason I bought The Beatles: Rock Band, it just took me a couple of months to actually bother to get it.

First time that I'm playing through SOTN. Love the game, but wish I hadn't discovered that the Xbox Live Arcade version of the game is the single worst version. Oh well, still having a blast with it.

Sorry for the extremely crappy phone pic, but my digi camera is dead so...:

Found this in a discount bin today so couldn't resist. Figured I actually have to finish this game this decade instead of playing a friend's copy and then giving up before even leaving the first dungeon.

thats an amazing game and an amazing find.

Cool Snake figure. Got any pics of it out of the box? Also what's that coin at the top?

I just got my MGS3 Snake figure from the same collection.

Do Blu-Rays look good on that?

Yeah, BR's look awesome on the laptop the laptop also has a HDMI port and it again it looks great. The only thing is, the screen isn't full HD 1080P not many laptops have a full HD 1080P screen and if they do they're crazy expensive.

Click to expand...

1080 on such a "small" screen?

Diminishing returns, I'd say!

NewFresh · Jan 20, 2010

Finally approved to post after almost 7mo

Had to try them after Bombcast talked them up.

Love that UP comes with DVD and Blu-Ray, now my girlfriends parents can watch it.

Filling out my Ex-Machina collection

Story in Gigantic is o.k., but the covers and art are great.

Found it at the bottom of a bargain bin at Walmart, NEW!! for only $2.50.
Now i just need a PS2

Kirby's Dream Land 2......Perfect purchase. =0

CoachKevin · Jan 21, 2010

My first pick-up post!

Randomly saw that Amazon had Indigo Prophecy for $9 so I grabbed two copies.

Grabbed Dollhouse (never watched the show but heard good things), HOTD and MadWorld on sale on Amazon as well.

Picked-up Silent Hill from Target and LOVED IT! The best Wii game I have played since Zelda: Twilight Princess. Going to play through it again after I get through some of my backlog.

Finally I got Carrier from Goozex. Trying to fill out my DC catalog.

Arandur · Jan 21, 2010

Hi ho!

This is my last pickup:

elektrixx · Jan 21, 2010

I got this in the mail today:

Now in Australia we don't have these environment saving cases in circulation yet, but this case comes from the US and IT SUCKS:

Lourio · Jan 21, 2010

Anarchistry, that Blackberry in white is definitely hotness! Very nice.

CoachKevin · Jan 21, 2010

Forgot to take a picture of this, just got it today and after running it through some tests I can say it blows the Blue Snowball out of the water! The amount of customization is ridiculous from manual gain levels to 4 mic patterns (cardioid, bidirectional, omnidirectional & stereo). Can't wait to do some extended use when I do my podcast this week.

FrankNitty · Jan 21, 2010

First time posting in this thread. I have a lot of pics ups I want to post but some are from Dec so not gonna post em

I paid AU$60! We didn't get the free Van Halen offer. In fact it's not out here yet.

Ouchy! Well, at least it's good

(if you like Van Halen of course, but then again why would you get it if you didn't?) The last batch of songs (on guitar)... they're kind of obscene... I'm not sure how I beat it on expert (they'd probably have been a lot easier if I had a guitar with the slide bar thingy). That's all I'll say about that.

Hot sex in that picture, awesome buy.

Is it me or does the LE box art have a slight green gradient behind Lightning?

JustAnotherOtaku · Jan 21, 2010

Few DVDs from the MVM sale. Finally got the last volumes of these two series!

Now to find time to marathon both

You're right, the LE boxart does have a slight pearlescent effect.
