New 60" Mitsubishi DLP, blows my old Tv out of the water for sure.
Nice man, some people want a flat screen, but if you have the tiny amount of extra space for a DLP, they totally blow LCD's out of the water for price-performance. I have a DLP myself, and I wouldn't trade it for an LCD anyday.

Is Sly 3 that bad?
Slightly pricey month for me, but we're gearing up heavily for our business. It will be really pricey in a few months, when we drop cash for two new computers, and a new professional level camcorder.
Taking the pictures with this, but compressed them to get smaller size:
Picked up two of these enclosures at Micro Center. They have 120 GB drives in them. One is for basic computer storage, the other is for photography. 2 x 500 GB drives are for video and music, but those are older.
Best keyboard I've ever purchased. Very happy with it. Very, very rock solid.
White is mine, black is the wife's. We had Invisibleshields for our old iPod Touches, and were very happy with them, so opted to get the full bodies for our phones.
Never had in-ear headphones, but the wife got some Panasonics to try a couple days ago. Later that day, after trying hers out, I had to get some. I'm a fan of Sony's headphones, so I opted to get these at Target. Very happy with them.
Tetris because the wife wanted it and Mevo based off of John Davison's suggestion on Listen Up! It's actually pretty decent. A little short, but fun enough.
Last but not least, I'm waiting on this to get to my house. Ordered it off of Sellout.Woot.com earlier in the week for $119. Originally was $400 from what I know, and the reviews have been pretty stellar across the board. I love Woot.

I bought Sly at a yard sale. But the disc doesn't work. So I'm getting my 3 bucks back by using it as a coaster. :lol

A few LTTP-types. Never played Lock's Quest before, and I'm gonna try finish up the original Phoenix Wright soon so I can move onto this one. Elite Beat Agents... cleared it before, but this is the first time I actually "bought" it. *cough* Aaaand, Dr Mario. Was a fiver, but in fantastic condition, even had the little Club Nintendo card in it. Couldn't say no. Sure, you can probably get that cheaper, but to me it's still a bargain, even if my mind still thinks it's 1991.

First post here, my summer pick ups.
First, games that are supposed to hold me until early september:
Transformers is for the lulz. I didn't pay it. Call of Juarez is a gift from Ubisoft.
New sound system for the PS3:
New slippers:
For strange reasons, the most comfy slippers in the store were the ugliest and yet, the cheapest ones.
New sunglasses with polarized glass. It's shutting down the HDR IRL (reflections) and colors appears in higher contrast. Gotta love them, driving when it's very sunny feels right again.
And two new shirts:
Even if I got them free (thanks Microsoft and Activision) they are pretty damn awesome. Red Faction fans should understand

Probably going to be my two most watched Blu-Rays.
Ratchet & Clank was cheaper than the download version and I got a nice box!
Mario Vs. Donkey Kong was pre-owned.
360 controller was going cheap and I needed another replacement. God, the build quality on those things is terrible.
Rocket Riot is really cool, despite some ridiculous difficulty spikes. There's also literally no one playing online which is a shame.
Just the keyboard is new (and lovely). Actually the Coke glass is new too. Free with two 2 litre bottles!
These are pretty much June/July pickups. I'm on a 10 week study abroad trip, so I decided it was time for some handheld love.
Being in the UK = cheaper EDGE. But I'm beyond tempted to get a subscription when I'm back in the US. I really like the magazine.
I also picked up a Panasonic DMC-FX500 camera for the trip, not pictured.
- DSi
- Big Bang Mini
- Chrono Trigger
- Elite Beat Agents
- Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings
- Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
- The World Ends With You
- Worms Open Warfare 2
- Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
- God of War: Chains of Olympus
- Wipeout Pulse
- 4GB stick as my 1GB was too small for ... Final Fantasy VII

Got a new watch. My other watch had a very unfortunate meeting with a tiled floor.
Stunning, certainly a conversation starter!
I've owned one watch in my (somewhat short) life and I just can't see the functionality of owning one in a time where just about every electronic device has a clock.
With that said, if I were rich and wore fancy suits, I'd buy a watch purely for aesthetics. Still, your watch is ridiculous, how much?

First post, and I've been dying to use it in the pickup thread:
Won a nice little auction for something I've been dying to have for a while now
Heading out Monday to see if I can get a new plexiglass faceplate for some artwork, and have a nice clear Seimitsu bubbletop joystick ball in green coming in the mail.
Also a couple cheap games to add to the PS2 collection:
I'd been looking for R&C for a while now but everyone Ive found had been Greatest Hits, so this was pretty good, and ATV2, just cant mess with the best. Also Mega Man Anniversary is going to need to get worked on before I even attempt the sadism found in Mega Man 9.

unfortunately no. my Super Famicom is in storage and it doesn't even come with the stock controller anymore. I have an ascii pad with it.
first impression I got was that it seemed bigger than i expected. Going from what I can remember, I tried it out with SF Turbo and the D-pad feels like a SNES controller (even the texture/finish). I can pull off moves no problem. I'm sure glad I bought it.
