Oooo sexy! Those are deadstock now right? Where did you pick those up?

Yeah, they're deadstock. I was shopping around on NikeTalk and ISS before I decided to head to eBay to see if there were any on there. It was tough finding a listing that was in my size (10.5/11) Luckily enough, I found a top-rated seller with over 10,000 feedback that sells just shoes and they had it in my size. I was a bit wary as I don't know if it was legit or not but when the shoes arrived, I'm glad I pulled the trigger. Only payed $90 total.

Bii: Awesome pick-up on the shoes. I got those myself (sz. 9) and I love them so much. Haven't worn mine yet as I'm really stuck on my Bruin SB Supremes, but I should probably wear them eventually. Next shoes on my list will be the Star Wars Adidas shoes. :D

I plan on getting a few from the Star Wars Adidas line as well. Particularly the X-Wing, Luke high tops and the Tie Fighter.

Damn, those are really nice. Is it gonna cost me a fortune because it has dpad symbols on it? Do they have ones in similar color w/ the Nintendo label?

If you can find it in your size, it really depends on how much the seller's gonna charge, as these weren't exactly a special edition in a traditional sense. They cost regularly $90, but since most of the people that had access to these were pre-sellers, you can expect a mark-up with some sellers. And as for the color - there have been other Nintendo/Sony inspired Nikes, but not in this color scheme as of late.

Nike hates it when regular people buy their shoes i guess. I hate it when they do shit like this. Same with all the Kobe's and the SpaceJams.

Dead Space, 50 Cent: Blood in the Sand, Wall-E, Inglorious Basterds, Gran Torino, Trainspotting, Dead Snow (?) and American Gangsters? Not bad, good sir.

Pretty much. I mean, I'm not much of a sneaker-freaker, but when I see some shoes that I want - it's because I want to wear them. Hate the fact that all the pre-sellers get them before anyone else can...markups are always insane for these things. *sighs*

Just hope nothing happens when the other Star Wars Adidas shoes drop - otherwise there will be hell to pay.

Impressive that you managed to figure out Trainspotting.

Never heard of these movies, but I love the cases :D

Wait, you have never heard of Ghajini (Murugadoss, 2008)?! It and The New World (Malick, 2005) are, hands down, my two favorite movies of the last decade. Definitely check out Ghajini! Blu-ray is a bit tough to see but it is readily available from London shops as well as Nehaflix in New Jersey. Ghajini is famous for being the Hindi remake of Murugadoss's own 2005 Tamil version which was very loosly based on Memento (Nolan, 2000)

Behka song from Ghajini.
 
Where does everyone get those big gaming cases from again?

The big black ones that has multi shelves on them.

Like a really big book shelf.

Picked up an HP mini 210 the other day.

I love it so far! The 6 cell battery lasts forever (or at least a full day of work).

That keyboard looks great for a netbook, how large is the screen? I'll probably want to shell out for an ION processor eventually though (Mini 311, or something similar), but there's not a great selection in Canada at the moment.

Where did you get these [Disney Steelbooks]?

They're Best Buy exclusives that were released in early December.
They aren't available on BestBuy.com, but you can probably still find some of them in-store for $34.99 each. However, I was able to get my set on eBay for MUCH cheaper so you may want to try your luck!

Do they come with the movie, or are they just cases?

First time in this sort of thread. I'll do December until now.

December brought with it only 4 games, 2 of which I bought myself. I've been told being 20 means people are no longer obligated to get me anything :lol

But it is fine. I already have a lot on my gaming plate.

Towards the end of December I decided to take a chance and buy a pair of Vibram Five Fingers. Verdict: Amazing footwear. Just don't wear them when it is very cold outside.

By far my favorite purchase of December was this baby:

Ever since buying (and falling in love with) Raiden IV, I've been eying this one...it seems to be a consensus pick as one of the best shmups of this gen. I have Raiden Fighters Aces and Castle of Shikigami III on the way, but this one is tempting...though the cost makes it a tough sell. What do you think, worth importing?

and ~10 minutes ago I ordered Dead or Alive Extreme 2 :lol

Awesome game, haters be damned. I still can't grasp the weird pool stepping game, but everything else fucking rocks.

For those that were waiting for a deal.. The Saboteur is $39.99 this week at best buy, but if you pre order say Bioshock 2 they will knock another 10 bucks off the game. So I walked away with it for $29.99

I really did mess up the image cropping on this:
IMG_1448.jpg

Space Invaders Extreme 2 (£7.94), Vol 2 of Haibane Renmei (£1.99) and Vol 2-4 of Paranoia Agent (£4.99,£0.99 and £0.99...I guess MVM bank of people buying Vol 1 and 2 for £4.99 each) already own Volume 1 of both (from the Japanese Anime boxset MVM did with Boulevard Entertainment in 2005).

Do you have to pay for the pre order in full? Looking to pick up Dragon Age which is listed at $50.
