And on the final day of July, heres my stuff:
With all the stuff about Kof12 I found this at blockbuster for $4.99, just gonna add it to the collection, dont plan on playing it much
Also, was at Costco today and found out they had a bunch of great deals on DVD's 15-20 that were only $5, so I picked up Last King of Scotland, Master and Commander, and also Harry Potter's 2-4(those were 7.79). Plan on going back soon to pick up some other ones, great deals, they also had some "collections" of 3 movies for 8.47 and 4 movies for 9.99!

I might return it and get the KRP-500M, since it supposedly has superior performance.

If you like import stuff, no doubt. They also have a ton of goodies such as Nintendo plushies galore, video game sodas, and other imported knick-knacks.DeVeAn said:
Also, the Kuro CC Pro is so fucking awesome I had to buy a white one. Even the wifey agreed with me in regards to its awesomeness.
We drove back to the store after I got back home from work to get it. :lol
I'll do some full impressions later on, but this is seriously the controller you wish they came out with a loooooooooooooong time ago. It's probably their best (standard) controller ever.

Picked up a few more cool things this past week:
-Family Computer 1983-1994 Complete Photo Collection - Saw it on a GAF pick-up thread a few months back and finally tracked down a copy for myself!
-Kingdom Hearts II manga #3 - Finally found it used and read it and #4 in one day. #5 should be out in August.
-Slime Mori Mori #2 manga - A bit beat up, but only 100円. I now have the full set (1-3).
-りりむキッス (Lillum's Kiss) #1-2 manga - A friend said it was funny and I like the art so I picked em up.
-Sony portable speakers - Got these free from a friend who's leaving Japan next week. They work great with my DSi!
-SEGA Master System - Michael Jackson's Moonwalker - Pretty sure this is the Euro version as it has about 8 different languages on the back. Odd to find this here in Japan!
-妖怪１００物語 (100 Yokai Story) - A hardcover picture/storybook about yokai. Very cool art and it was cheap.
-ポコニャン　(Poko-Nyan) - A really old kids' manga. I got the Super Famicom game a few months back and wanted to check out the original subject matter.
I suppose that's it for July (seeing how it's already August 1st here in Japan, haha), but I have two packages on the way so I'll be sure to post the contents in the August thread.

Make sure to pick up a calibration disc so you can get everything out of that tv. I've got a 42" Tosh, and I'm still jealous

I heard that Web of Shadows was good for cheap and I've been on an open world kick lately. Also, it was $7.50 at best buy and I had a $10 reward zone. Vesperia is my attempt at re-enjoying JRPGs. It will probably not succeed, but it was cheap too, and getting harder to find.
Did the two essentials for free $15 itunes card. I've never really listened to much of MJ's music but the Maiden CD I've listened to my roomate's copy a ton, felt it was time to actually buy it, it's what got me into maiden.
NOOOO, THE COVER
A half price books trip - the magazines were $.50 - good bathroom reading fodder.
I wanted to read the Road after some podcast compared it to fallout, Oprah's Book Club or not.

I have the Avia calibration disc and will probably apply the D-Nice settings after the break in.
And cjdunn, good look on your video game work out routine. Looks like you're getting serious.

MM, can we have an August thread?
dark_chris said:I want that mario plush. Is it part of that or did u get it seperate?tturunen said:
All those plush I´ve got year-or two ago (from play-asia).
Got some okey game with that Wii, like Mario tennis, Trauma Center, Naruto, One Piece, and some others. Mostly time Naruto is inside.
Uncharted: Drakes Fortune
Metal Gear Solid 4
Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
inFamous
Resistance Fall of Man
Resistance 2
Shadow Wireless Controller
Not Pictured: Refurbed PS3 from Sony (got a used one in may and the ethernet adapter never worked plus freeze issues). Never posted in one of these threads before so half of the games are june pickups.
Odin Sphere for PS2.
What a nice game! I'm very very impressed with the overall graphical quality. Even being a 480i game, the PS3 upscaling to 1080p is simply AWESOME. The game looks gorgeous, with smooth graphics (comparing it to BlazBlue, it looks much more beautiful on my TV) .
[PS3 has some lack of great JRPGs, so it's quite common to back to the old PS2 to play the classics...]

Good choice...But I had to stop playing because of the slowdown. I got to the last boss of Gwendolyn's story and it was too rampant to continue. Shame because it is a unique and well-crafted JRPG

The local import shop in Seattle got MH3 in yesterday as well.

What? That sucks massively.
I'm assuming you didn't buy it? Because I'd be ripping that thing open the day I got it if I payed for it. :lol
