I posted this in the official thread but I'm adding it hear so it can be official.
Something old (and on sale), something new
Two bad movies that should nevertheless be seen.
The big dog, the reason I hand built the wooden shelf beneath it.
...and since I was getting a HDTV, I got this
Color calibrator
Metal Gear, Yay! --Except my launch PS3 is going to be sent back because of the GTA IV freezing-- Boo!
The Okami artbook, which I've had on preorder for over 8 months.

Pretty late on some of these pick-ups, we're going back to May 31 or so.
These look much better in person than in the pic. I haven't even played TP yet, but I was so impressed with the quality of these that I knew I wouldn't regret the purchase even if I don't like the game. I was really happy to find an FF7 game style Tifa, I see a crap ton of Advent Children style figures but not too many game style. Wife would have preferred me getting a figure with smaller boobs.
The wife also isn't particularly happy with the Fujiko figure, but she's awesome enough to not mind that much (so long as I keep it in my back "nerd room").
Extra points for the Lupin in a plane figure, because it is an actual working fan. Probably going to end up taking that one to work, because the a-holes in my office like to crank the heater.
Shirt's a bit too tight, but oh well, it is awesome. Nocturne artbook is also a gift from heaven, I freaking love that game. It's Pokemon meets Satan Worship.
Little dark, but everyone knows what this is. Probably won't play any games on it for months (due to massive 360 backlog), but I'm happy with the Blu-Ray capability for now. First game purchase will be Folklore, I've really been craving that game.
Got #1, thought it was decent, then picked up 2 and 3 to see if I wanted to continue the series. If I had known at the time that there were only 4 volumes, I would have just bought them all. #4 is on the way right now, actually, shipped from Amazon earlier today on Friday (which I guess was yesterday at this point).
I just love PA.
::edit::
Forgot to take pics of Eyes Wide Shut and 300 blu-rays. Also got Blade Runner on rain check.
I'm excited to be able to rent Blu-Rays from now on since I own a PS3, but I'm putting off actually opening my PS3 since I want to savor that new console smell. Already have a Wii and 360, so this will be my last chance for another 3 or 4 years.

iPod in MGS4? Does this have an actual purpose in the game?

So it's safe to assume that MGS4 is the PS3's "Turning point"? Where all the Wait-for-the-big-games people say "Right, time to get one!"? 'Bout time, I say.

^Well... the last show your MGS4 thread was locked. Lyre said you had to keep it in the general pick-up threads.

Got the display case free from my friend because he was moving back in with his parents due to financial difficulties and didn't have enough room for all 4of them and didn't want to put it in storage. ^_^v
Will take pic of MGS stuff when gamestop gets in my preorder of the Collectors Strat they were "under shipped" (what the hells the point of a preorder, they will however make up for it by taking off $10 when they get it)

You are a federal agency? Because, you know, that it's forbidden for private people to use this flag?

No, this one is not the Bundesdienstflagge, therefore its use is tolerated.

I see I My Me, Strawberry Eggs! Instant win!
Where the HELL can you get actual figures for that series, though?

No, its this one: the unofficial flag with the coat of arms:
They look very similar though.
I was going to post something about how the US Flag is the only flag that matters but that would have veered this topic way too far off course. So instead, I'm just going to mention how I picked up the MGS4 80GB PS3 bundle. Since about 3,000 people already showed pictures of theirs, I'm sure you know what it looks it.

While it was probably (i hope) a joke, it's a wise decision that you didn't. And Congrats on the bundle. Is the 80gb gun metal gray also?
Sorry about the brightness in these... apparently cell phones take bad pictures?
ANYWAY!~ ON TO THE LOOT! Here we have Etrian Odyssey 2! picked up yesterday Along with God Hand! I actually found God Hand new in a seemingly abandoned local gamecrazy.
Dragon Quest VII and Wild Arms 4 I didn't reaaally want but this guy was going to trade them in for 6 bucks at gamestop and I said I'd pay him 10
Ahhhhh Gameday sales. Odin Sphere 20 bucks. 2D Action based rpg? Priceless.
Ok seriously, turns out the dvd is out of print now so I had to watch it on veoh D: Anyway I liked it enough to pick up the 1st omnibus and all I'm gonna say is HOLY SHIT, I'm in love:lol
Ah and yet again... my wallet is weak. Basically it was another one of those random dudes trading in something pretty neat. I've never actually seen a complete time crisis set nor have I ever even heard of Resident Evil: Dead Aim. Turns out it works with the guncon and the guy didn't even know I gave him 30 for it and he threw in dead aim.
That's all I can think of for now but I'm sure I've got more lying around!
