Bought cheap Critter Crunch. Totally worth the $3.50... or the original price of $7.00!



And got a replacement copy of Yndi Halda - Enjoy Eternal Bliss



Original copy I recieved was in terrible shape. Jacket was completely ruined, the records were water damaged and the labels were coming off etc. Replacement copy arrived today in a much better condition :D

You nailed it. The tin has got 3 discs in it though. If you want I'll post a couple more pics.
I would be really thankfull. I am mostly interested about the back of the steelbook as well as how it all fits together with the N7 slipcase. thanks

O good god no, please say it aint so. If this is true this is just terrible :,(
On the offical ME2 forums a lot of people claim they will get the CE of ME2 a week later because of printing errors. So far only Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania & Spain. are concerned. But it might be all of Europe or only non English versions... no official confirmation from EA yet.

Absolutely. And the guy from the band in charge of merch and stuff couldn't be more helpful about the replacement.

Sorry for the bad quality shots, still at work. The Cerberus network card is a really nice touch.

Seriously, as if the wait isn't bad enough you guys are like, oh I have it already...
Could be like last mass effect where retailers had the game 2 weeks in advance. I was one of the lucky few that snagged one before it came out. A weekend before is bearable as far as early releases goes. Wish i was one of the lucky few this time :(

Thanks so much for all the pics, great to see, but i have one last nagging question to ask: Is the bottom of the slipcase closed off like the Halo wars slip case or is it open to let the game just, well, slip out.

A couple of post-Christmas pick ups. Picked these up a few days ago.

Never got a chance to play the God of War games on PS2. I've already finished the first God of War. Enjoyed it a lot, and can't wait to play the second.

Bioshock, I had originally for X360 and loved it. One of my favorite games of the gen. I don't have my X360 anymore, so I decided to pick it up again on the PS3.

Its closed up. The game can only come out of the top.

I think this stuff is pretty much it for January since some of it was fairly expensive.

This is a watch that I grabbed sometime in December during some weird Amazon watch sale. Apparently the watch normally goes for $250 and I grabbed it for $50. (Stuhrling Original Men's Classic Swiss 'Ascot Terrace' Watch #602.33151)

Oh look, JoCo! The guests are Paul and Storm. They had an amazing concert together at PAX 09 and they've finally come to Vancouver. It is going to be fantastic. Pants.

Fantasy books. It was actually my first time reading The Hobbit and it was realllly good. I haven't done the Silmarillion or Unfinished Tales yet as I switched to Song of Ice and Fire. I've only just started Game of Thrones, but I'm really enjoying it so far. The other 3 are of course the original Dragonlance Trilogy.

4296929238_5aab4a32d8_b.jpg


Playing in a memorial hockey tournament for an acquaintance that was killed in Australia. I then discovered that my hockey stick had the blade snapped off so I had to go pick up a new one. Tavares style :)

And finally the main event. New headphones. These are Audio Technica ATH-A900s shipped direct from Japan. The thing clipped onto the cord there is a Zalman clip on mic as this will be used as my gaming set. The mic has fantastic sensitivity as it picks up everything I say even though it's hanging a good distance from my mouth. I already had the Sennheiser 595s on the side there.

4296929808_e356b1d14c_b.jpg


And this is what lets me just put on whatever pair of headphones I want to use. The HeadRoom Total Bithead headphone amplifier. Yes, it outputs sound to both pairs at the same time, but it's not a big deal since you don't need high volume on either of these sets. I had music playing at listening volume through them with both of them sitting about a foot away from me and I could barely hear it. And yeah, the A900s don't really need amplification, but the Bithead disables the sound card when it's plugged in so I don't really have a choice there. If you're wondering how this works with a mic, I found that I could still use the mic input on the sound card while outputting sound from the Bithead via USB.

Chronicles! So good. You must read Legends afterwards if you haven't already... SO GOOD.



I have a recent addition to my previous posts [#1] [#2]

I got both of these, complete series the other day off amazon.ca for $50CAD total after tax.

First time posting, hell yeah.

Hot Fuzz Blu-ray only $25 NZD. One of my favorite films of all time, had to pick it up.

Blazblue, bought it off a friend for only $40 NZD. Absolute bargain.

District 9 Blu-ray. Decided to pick it up as my Dad just got nominated for a Bafta because of it!

Everyone posting tickets with barcodes are asking for it. They can be copied you know.

Seriously edit your pics.

How would that work? I have a receipt ticket with my name on it showing that I'm the one that owns this ticket. Unless they're going to steal my entire identity so that they can go see a JoCo show this isn't going to happen. Also, these aren't exactly expensive tickets. It would probably cost more to reproduce one good enough than to just buy the damn thing.

There's good paranoid, and there's overboard paranoid.

My first post (with actual pick-ups), even though this is how I actually found GAF about 1.5 years ago...I posted this in the Late Night Wars thread, but I guess I'll post it here, too.

(brace yourselves...iPhone pic)

I got these right after I found out Conan was being taken off the air. I'm going to miss seeing him so much. Here's to his future.

What's up?! 3rd post here (after my hello in the hello new members topic & my loot drop in the 'free to a good home' topic) and now to my most notably new pick-ups.

Finally got rid of my 6th Pre & got a HTC Hero (Love it so far) and picked up some chocolate on my way home from class today.

Bought a TE from Amazon.co.uk and then re bought COD4 and SF4. Have not played the TE very much but i still do not regret buying it.
 
First a "pre-owned" classic controller:
IMG_1449.jpg

Inner packaging still had all the seals etc on the controller (and I don't think outer packaging is sealed by Nintendo) and the condition seems news I guess it is new.

DS games:
IMG_1451.jpg

I think that brings my total to 81 now. N+ and Neves were ordered from CeX (both were £4 each; which beats everyone else by a mile and then some). Professor Layton 2 was the GAME deal last week.

One off-topic thing I have to vent out is why do online retailers use work in progress placeholder box even after a game is out? Look up N+ on online retailers. The ones I looked at didsn't have the boxart posted above (the boxart above is the official boxart as it is the box shown on the official website).
