This weeks new release pick-ups as well as some Famicom and Master System titles to fatten up the retro collection. The MS games are especially nice, all complete with manuals in great condition considering their age. The Famicom games were only a couple of hundred yen each from Rakuten which I've been meaning to try out for a while. Smooth transaction so I'll be returning for more.
Indeed an amazing piece of hardware.

Collectors Edition, and Future Press Guide for Reckoning, Probably the best CE i've ever picked up honestly, the quality is fantastic.
Vita with Lumines, Blaz, and Rayman. seriously considering Unit 13 aswell as the demo was alot of fun, and I usually don't really gravitate to shooters much.
Other stuff:
Some of this stuff is from last month(Reckoning), but did not have a chance to post it so here it is.

Cool game room, dude. The posters look really nice, and I like how they're displayed.
Happy birthday to me
You picked some awesome stuff to give to yourself. : P Happy Birthday!
Got my Collector's Edition of Street Fighter X Tekken got delivered today.
Whoa, Japan got the goods for it's Street Fighter x Tekken collector's edition. I'm jealous!
I am in love with Zero 7, great pickup.
Just a few game related items. I did forget to snap a pick of a screen of Motorstorm RC for the Vita, so add that to this small pickups list.
Finally broke down and bought a $20 card for the 3DS shop, figured my first purchase should be Pushmo! Not sure what to use the rest on, either Dillon's Rolling Western or some Virtual Console games. I completely missed out on most Game Boy games because I never had one growing up, so I might get started on some of those.
Now I have all 3 Collector's Editions on the Xbox! Loving this game so far.
I wasn't going to get this because I suck at fighting games, but seeing Bad Boxart Mega Man and the little Arcade Cabinet bank made me throw all rational thought out the window and pick this up. Still haven't had the chance to break into it yet because I've been busy with Mass Effect 3, but hope to dive in a little bit this weekend.

I count two Bitmap Brothers panels. Fantastic!
Would this work with a 360 fight stick as well?

No kidding. Really beats the pants off an arcade cabinet-shaped piggy bank.
xbox350 controller adapter for PS3 from Dealextreme $16.50
Only game I have trouble with ps3 controller is NHL12. For some reason I always accidentally press R3 when I shoot.
I'm guessing this is only for wired controllers?
Have you noticed any delay? Would you recommend this for my MadCats SF4 CE stick?
EDIT ok PalaceBrother beat me to my 3rd question

I went out to buy Mass Effect 3 and came back with these.

thank you!
Yup, but sometimes it can misread diagonal inputs and not respond to button presses if they happen too fast. At least with my experience with this product.

NICE. I have that same Somersault LP, a gift from my wife.
Big update for me, more stuff to come later.
Family Guy Volume 9 DVD, Sesame Street 40 Years DVD, and a sealed copy of Retro Game Challenge
Lego! Had to start small, this was only about $9 with tax as I had a 10% discount and signed up for a VIP card and got $1 back in rewards! =D
Two HUGE coffee table books. Sesame Street 40 Years (companion to the DVD), and Art of Pixar (which is finally back in print, who knows for how long though as it went OOP very quickly when it was released in October)
Looney Tunes Platinum Collection Volume 1 from the recent Amazon sale, D23 Retro 51 Pen (Retro 51 makes amazeballs pens), Limited Edition Disneyland Haunted Mansion Pin

I'm eager for info on this, this is simple and yet amazing. I hope it's very affordable too...
Looks great! I take it you done those yourself, if so could you link the source for the orange/black strider one?
Alright, last of my stuff for now. This is for Disneyphiles. These items are from an event at Disneyland/Club 33 from the other night. Glad to have crossed that off of my bucket list =)

That gamecover is so over the top, I'd really like to have it.
For those who have both a PS Vita and a 3DS, which do you like better so far? I'm in the market for a handheld and I'm not sure which to get
If you only have money for one, 3DS is the one with the bright future. Kid Icarus, which looks fantastic, also comes next week.

I can vouch for the Monoprice headphones, too. Fantastic sound for the price... or even at a higher price, IMO. You cannot go wrong. $9.50 after shipping I think I paid. They're a steal.
I'm curious about the rest of their lineup now?
Phone pic...
are those fabric cords? Because I bought some with fabric cords thinking they'd be great for the gym for durability and my god I get so much feed back. Everytime the cord rubs against my shirt or something I hear it loudly. Same problem with these?
Honestly, I would wait on getting a 3DS until after E3. Just in case Nintendo announces a "3DS Lite" with the dual slide pads built in instead of being an attachment.

Nintendo doesn't often announce hardware revisions at trade shows, do they?
I would love to know where you got these panels from, or if you made them yourself what the process is like? They look absolutely fantastic, I'd love to get a few of these!

It's not a bad game either.
They're kinda like little shoelaces. I was just messing around with them while sitting here and I don't think it'd be a problem? I don't get any actual feedback in the sound if that's what you mean. Sure, I can hear like a bumping of sorts against my clothes, but these are in ear so they do tend to block out the external sound very well.
In fact, at work they are great for shutting out the stuff going on around me.

nice i paid $12 just for my dinosaurs for hire alone
Thanks. All three games were priced at $6 each and star wars was $3 but they had a promo of 75% off all games and movies just for today.
