Only the Chinese and Korean version have English, right?
Play-Asia is listing the Korea ver as out of stock/out of print, and the Chinese ver as "Backordered".
How long do these things take usually?? (As I said it's said "backordered" since I ordered it on July 1)

Nice dude! Oh I still remember taking it out of that Styrofoam casing and hearing it squeak as you pull it out. Good times.Steven_Jitters said:

I so ****ing hate Styrofoam, and it's absolutely the worst when you hear it squeak. Worst times >_<
Even the picture showing it creeps me out
So our old TV decided to die on us last week
Picture taken last christmas
So we upgraded to this, a 42' LCD LG 1080p....SO HOT!!!!!
and got this littl game as well,
and if look closely, you can see The Conduit to the left. I picked it up a couple of weeks ago but hadn't had a chance to post it
I also picked up a Component cable for my Wii. I'll try to post a pick later
EDIT: Oh yeah, I also picked up two HDMI cables from Monoprice just got them this morning.

What is that Disney thing next to the game?
When my Wife and I went on our honeymoon to Disney World two employees asked us to do a game of "match the prince's with the princess's". If we matched them all correctly we got a "Magic Moment" certificate. We got all of them right (mostly thanks to my wife LOL). IT was really cool.

Cool! I didn't happen upon that when my ex and I went there for our honeymoon but that's pretty cool.
1TB of storage goodness, dedicated only to gaming (mostly Steam)
Unfortunately my retarded pc case couldn't fit it. It has some idiotic "screw less" solutions, so that even though there are room for 2 HDDs, there's just one of those weird plastic things to actually attach the HDDs to. I hate this case, it was just too damn cheap. Noisy as hell and ugly as sin.
I need a new one...

Seriously though, that looks amazing, and I am happy for you! Where and how much for this amazing find?
I got it off of ebay for $60 shipped. Everything is in amazing condition, like it was barely ever used. I can't wait to build up a collection for it, going back to play some of those great games again. It's hard to find most games complete though and the prices are a little out of control on more than a few games.

+ NIKKOR 10.5mm fisheye lens for my D70.

Exactly why I quit Ebay-hunting for SNES/PS1/NES games years ago...the prices are just too high for so many of the games, not to mention how hard some are to even appear on Ebay.
Today in 2009 there's so many alternatives to play these games, that the only reason for buying the actual physical copies is for collection reasons.
But how tempted I still am...at least my current collection efforts, focusing on last gen (GCN/PS2 mostly/XB) isn't just for collection purposes, because for the most part a majority of those games are only playable on their home console, no alternatives (except for BC on PS3 for example).

They run $600+ but I got it for nothing because my father is a professional photographer and passes his older equipment down to me.Neo Samus said:

The 2009 Hyundai Accent, awesome car, much better than my 2000 Plymouth Neon.
To a lesser extent, I got a new iPod Nano since I lost my old one.
And to an even lesser extent, got Harvest Moon for the Wii. For some reason playing Little King's Story made me really want to grow virtual crops.

It's definitely hard in lots of cases but I decided to start collecting about two years ago as opposed to beat and sell, beat and sell like I had done before. I love seeing them all together on the shelf and being able to play them whenever I want. I've also found that if I have to hunt down a complete copy of something on ebay then I enjoy and play it through as opposed to newer games that you can find so easily, I tend to only play a little and quit, telling myself I'll finish it sometime down the line.
The prices are a big deterrent though. I'm a Mega Man fan and even I'm reluctant to lay down the money for a complete copy of Mega Man X3. I haven't seen an complete auction in a while and cartridge only auctions have gone for over $50. Ouch.

-80GB EU PS3
So good I had to buy it twice
(not really, one is US, other is my hometown of EU...mainly for BR and DVD, also redundancy when the US one dies, as it is doing now)
Steven_Jitters said:
I agree, luckily for me I have never done the whole "trading/selling" thing - I find it funny to read so much about people regretting and rebuying years down the line.(although when I was young I would throw out the boxes to all but some of my N64/SNES/Genesis/NES games...I strangely kept all Gameboy boxes though)
Now I just need a proper way to store all my games and boxes on a nice huge wall cabinet/shelf...any ideas guys?
I actually was able to find Mega Man X, Mega Man X2, and Mega Man X3 all mint and complete in around 2001 on Ebay. Each weren't cheap either, but I cringe at how expensive complete, near new copies are today in 2009.
Thanks for reminding me, because I have a friend desperately in need of cash and he has a lot of complete SNES games. Time to start negotiating.

Went to the International District (Seattle) today. I'd been holding off, but Sega forced my hand after yesterday's development.

I bought Kenzan from the same store last October. Both used copies, so essentially Sega didn't make any money off me.

Bought more games this week than I probably should have, but they where all bargains so I guess it isn't too bad.
Hollywood Video $5 sale.
Super excited about playing both of these.
1 terabyte.

All $5 each used. Couldn't pass 'em up for the price and the choices were slim.

And some new Blu's and brews.

I remember I got the super nintendo immediately when it came out due to winning some contest as a kid and having money to blow on it - What this picture made me think of is that styrofoam mold that held the console and stuff - I drew bowser's castle and the game's enemies and mario all around the sides of it and made holes for doors and made all the different areas like rooms or levels from the game.
I remember it being really awesome. Amazing what childlike creativity and imagination can do with a ball point pen and a styrofoam container.
