[SNIP!]
they looked so cool "live" while me and the gf were back at the store today!
So I couldn't resist and grabbed a few of them I really liked together with the new Smash Bros game
I wanted to also pick up Marth but decided against it 'cause it looks like shit
Also I'm glad I didn't buy them from Amazon 'cause lots of them were BADLY painted, so definite a plus that I could pick them one by one after a lot of nitpicking


Didn't really thought I'd buy Amiibos besides Metroid, Bowser (they didn't have it, damn) and Toon Link (is this ever coming out?), but now I'm thinking of kinda collecting them, lol

Btw, Amiibos and Smash were a last-minute addition since we were on our way to pick up our
Bonsai. Love it! ^_^

[/SNIP!]

Went out and made my second Amiibos' purchase. I feel guilty tho
Goddamn, spent more than 100€ in two days for these fuckers and the ones from yesterday... lol I'm having second thoughts... but at least I'm loving the bonsai!

So, I was moaning in the DS collectors thread previously about not being able to find a DSi XL in good condition. Well, I found this in a charity shop for £30!

The outside is scratched a bit, but the inside is flawless and free from any marks or scratches. Now I have the best console for 3DS games AND the best for DS games!

 

[Dash Kappei]

Holy shit £30... great pick up, congrats
here they still sell new ones for 180EUR, lol

thanks man. Yeah, I was just lucky! Like I said though, the outside is scratched quite a bit, but I'm not looking at that when gaming! I'll buy a replacement top cover shell from ebay at some point and swap it over. It's easy to do.

I could have just made do with playing my DS games on the N3DS XL - but regardless of the fact that they're both the same screen size for DS games, the DSi can't be beaten in image quality as it's pixel perfect.

Family got an Xbox One. No one uses it :/
I like Killer Instinct but since its in the family room I won't be spending money on any games for it anytime soon. The lack of games (that interest me) are why I never considered it but dad wanted one so... there it is.

My haul from Xmas and post xmas shopping.
Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls PC
Guilty Gear Xrd LE
Enchanted Arms
Nier
Atelier Ayesha
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call
Bravely Default
Pokemon Alpha Sapphire
Chrono Trigger DS
Azurestriker Gunvolt
Attack of the Friday Monsters
Crimson Shroud

 

[eXistor]

Couple more NES games to add to the collection, I don't think I have to tell you which one is the most interesting

 

[BocoDragon]

^ pinball of course. What a great pickup. The others aren't that special but mmmmmm pinball.

 

[purg3]

Just got these in, not a gaming purchase obviously but first big purchase of the New Year.

(crappy cell pic, sorry)

 

[8BitsAtATime]

PickUps

Got Pika and Mario

And some used games from GS

 

[Sizzle55]

EB Game's had a buyone get one free sale so for $66 these two were good pickups drive club looks amazing and LBP3 seems like it will be a bit of fun.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Scored a new, sealed copy of Dragon Quest V DS off eBay last week for $39, not bad considering new copies on there usually go for between $60-75. Will be my first ever DQ game:

Heads up for people wanting to pay a similar price, you can buy the reprint brand new directly from Games Quest Direct for $39.99

[thekonamicode]

Got this from a UFO catcher in Shinjuku. It's motion activated!

 

[Taker34]

Got this one finally for under 60€. Always wanted to own a PS3 retail version of Mass Effect.

Imported this sealed P4G SE

I didn't know that my Vita could look even better than before!

 

[NEO0MJ]

I don't often post here, but I bought something I think is worth showing off!

I bought SOC Space Battleship Yamato ver.2199 and the Riobots Blodia. I've been eyeing these two for a long time and finally got a good deal on them.

 

[KDash31987]

-Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Force (Xbox 360)
-Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs. (PlayStation 3)

These arrived two days earlier than expected! It's giant mecha fighting time!

 

[shungokusatsu]

MSI GS70 2QE Stealth Pro

Hoodie and some anime

 

[NEO0MJ]

-Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Force (Xbox 360)
-Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs. (PlayStation 3)

Why didn't you buy Full Boost instead?

Oh, a pic I took of the Blodia above.

 

[KDash31987]

Why didn't you buy Full Boost instead?

Too much money right now, and I don't like the online pass requirement. Extreme Vs. was less than $10, and since I got it along with Virtual-On Force, I got free shipping.

A few of my other friends also just got Extreme Vs. since it was so cheap, so we'll probably play online together a whole bunch. We all decided to skip Full Boost and wait for Maxi Boost to come out.

Anyway, more pics:

 

[benjammin]

It all started when a friend sent me their old 6970 to slightly upgrade my pc. Unfortunately it didn't fit in my old case, so I bought a new one. Which led to me buying entirely new components across the board. And the kicker? I'm picking up a 970 in a week or two anyway. Oh well! Not shown is the ssd in my current build.

What's some sites for cheap Japanese games?

 

[KDash31987]

What's some sites for cheap Japanese games?

I buy all of mine on Amazon and eBay. I don't buy Japanese games often, though. I only have a few.

I bought some Japanese games from some other sites in the past, but that was over 10 years ago, so I don't remember from where. :/

Purchased last week, arrived today.

 

[Mike.83]

Since buying my own place, I've been dragging my computer from the spare room to the living-room and back again, it was beginning to annoy me.

Picked up a Lenovo G50-70

treated myself to Sega Mega Drive/Genesis: Collected Works and Sensible Software 1986—1999 which were both huge parts of my childhood.

My brother and friend often come round to play videogames, so I picked up Pro Evo and an extra pad, I've left the plastic peal-off thing on for my brother to remove.

Sorry about the image quality, I only have my phone!

 

[illusionary]

Completed my collection of PlayStation consoles (one of each generation, not all of the different models of each) with a boxed PSone:

...which came with a few bundled games (though nothing really notable here):

Also, a couple of late birthday gifts:

Oh, and the copy of Mario Kart: Double Dash that I won last week from eBay arrived... with a cracked disc. So much for "good" condition - that's going to be going back!

 

[artorias the abysswalker]

Thanks, so no difference.

2015 for me is mainly going to be dedicated to retro-gaming and cleaning out my backlog of games. I also just happened to have moved to a new city and wanted to check out the local used game stores and this was my weekend haul:

So I also want to go back in time and kick my own ass for not giving the original Xbox a chance when it launched. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite systems!

 

[AaronMT86]

GitS (PS1), nice grab and what a price!

$8.85! I had to dig through a ton of jewel cases to find it though, haha.

Edit: I thought you asked what the price was, haha. Damn my reading comprehension!

 

[Canucked]

Here are some of the books I picked up recently.

 

[blackjaw]

January is birthday month! PS4 from my wife, Vita Slim from myself and DA:I from the inlaws. #oldmanGAF

 

[Gustavovj]

So my mom just came back from Texas and she got me all these



Got a 1tb WD HDD for my Xbox One as I'm starting to run out of space. (And due to the fact that Sony doesn't allow to use external storage devices I will be getting most of the multipats on MS's console) However I just noticed that when the Xbone goes off the light on the WD HDD keeps flashing... Is this supposed to happen? I have set the Xbox to go totally off and not standby... So I'm curious...

Also can't wait to test the Wii U Pro Controller with Mario Kart 8!

The Hannah Montana lilac PSP!
That's the same model I got.

I picked up some Transformers G1 prints for my new flat - they look great - I can forgive the Optimus Prime cab being the new design and not the original. The new flat doesn't qualify for the January thread as I finally bought it in December... but thought I'd give it a mention too!

Apologies about the photo quality from my phone...

Just installed this (present from wife for Christmas).

Thanks! I picked up some more (not Transformers) this morning for other rooms, but they're shipping from Europe so they will likely be featured in the February thread - will post updates then.
