Not pictured is my new 4GB pro duo (it's inside the PSP), preorder stuff (FFVII: CC case & NG stylus), or Biohazard (on my PS3 - forgot to upload to my psp). I've got an extra Octocamo Snake figure arriving (either tomorrow or next week) that will be chilling on my desk at work and that should do it for March.

I think it was a preorder bonus, you didn't miss anything though, just a piece of plastic with the Shinra logo on it. The hinge is very cheap.

Yeah, I ordered it about a month ago, but like you said, it's not really a big deal

Japanese PS1 classics make me pissed off that Sony isnt hooking up NA the same way they are for Japan.

My pickups for the month.



Zone of the Enders Premium Pack - When this was released it was the first time I found out how Japan gets all these special editions that are never brought over to the US. The artbook is really cool and my favorite part of this package.



Oddworld. :D



A couple games I've been meaning to play through for awhile.



I got really lucky and found this for a super good price at my local game shop while randomly browsing.

And finally:


I've been meaning to pick these up forever, the Metal Gear Saga documentary is incredibly cool.
 
Yesterday I picked up PGR4 and COD4 at gamestop, both used.
PGR4 works fine and it's really beautiful...
COD4 gives me this message "to play this disc, put it in an Xbox 360 console"
R O T F L , this is madness!!!

Got this in the mail this morning from Amazon. I didn't get my umd case though, was there something special I had to do?

Dang, I preordered there too. Mine hasn't even shipped yet either:( (Amazon must be punishing me for using free shipping)

I got the DQ Monsters bonus there, but I preordered that as soon as Amazon listed it. I ordered Crisis Core not even a month ago. Oh well :p

Where did you get Subsistence Limited Edition? Did it cost you a fortune?

:D One of the main reasons I bought my PSP last week. This just came in the mail today :)

(I guess I'll get Castlevania, FF7 and Vice City Stories later on. Any more suggestions?)

Berlin/Germany and because it was a gift I don't know the price.
I bought one during my trip to Berlin as well. There are lots of small shops/stands selling that shit at Checkpoint Charlie.

Wipeout Pure/Pulse, Locoroco, Crush, Space Invaders Extreme, and Jeanne D'arc should all be must-purchases.

did you check your amazon email receipt? it should say "EB pre-order guarantee: $0.00" on it. yes, it says EB for some reason. i guess they had a deal. my copy should be here today, i hope. i chose free shipping as well.

Next up, the catcher, number 21.
Here comes the pitch.
Fastball. Strike 1.
The count is 0 and 1.
Curve. He takes it. Called strike. Strike 2.
Here comes the pitch.
He's hit by the pitch!
The batter stops at first.
The throw goes to second.
Throws to first. Safe!
Throws to the plate.
The throw goes to first. Not in time!
Time out!

IMO, one of the best baseball games ever.

Those are definitely bootlegs. My friend has that Cowboy Bebop set.

yep, that Cowboy Bebop is 100% bootleg. If you can find the Perfect Sessions for "cheap," you're not buying the real thing. :\

A few DVD pickups. Still not quite done for the month, got two games to get later.

South Park: Imaginationland (Uncensored Director's Cut/Widescreeen)

08-03-24-southpark.jpg


Frisky Dingo: Season One

08-03-28-dingo1.jpg


And it's awesome insert. The misspelling is intentional, but the real cute part is the free dry cleaning coupon expired 3 months before the DVD came out, heh.

08-03-28-dingo2.jpg


And finally some more bargain bin bargains, I can never resist Garfield, and I've never actually seen the D&D series

Also, most of those dodgy anime dvds on ebay have totally unintelligible subtitles, there are a few that might be ok, but i've been burned more than a few times - really you're better off buying the real thing or downloading the fansubs and burning them yourself as the subtitles are usually of a much higher quality.

Call me dumb, but what are the negative facts about the CB-bootleg?
I dont mnow the specifics of that Bebop HK, but Ive bought a few HKs that are great quality (video/audio/subs) compared to the legit sets.

I bet he'll get a 135 too, even if it does look kinda funky (it's more fun to drive according to all the impressions I've seen).

Anyways took some pics with the other stuff I got included now:

Dunno either, but I got so sick of trying to find a legitimate US one, I just ended up getting the Korean version of the Perfect Sessions. Just as good!

My monthly pickups:

Dual Shock 3 (white)
Condemned 2
Command & Conquer (Xbox 360)
Ratatouille (Xbox 360) - don't ask
Rainbow Six Vegas 2
Ouendan 2
Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds
MGS Essential Collection
Dynasty Warriors 6 (Xbox 360)
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
and still counting...a few more days left in March! :)

hehehe, no man, i love the mini, i take it to work mostly, since parking there is a disaster and the spots are tight so the mini fits perfectly fine :) though, i do get the urge for raw power in the morning and take the M5, but i park it far, that way I'm away from careless drivers(though i have to walk a lot more to get to the office). Also the wife loves driving the mini when she's not taking the kids around...we have the new X5 with child seats for that(3yo twin girls)

I'll be getting the coupe with DCT(sequential transmission), i already have an X5 for the family, I'll be trading/selling the M5 to get the M3....it's too costly maintaining all those cars and paying insurance. Plus the M5 would help in paying for the M3 :)

i love the 135, but it's way over priced here, $10k more gets you a 335, which looks nice in my opinions(sexy and aerodynamic). The reviews i read of the 135 said the chassis had to be reinforced, leading it to weigh way more than the standard 1 series, which sucks because the whole point is keeping it light. Besides, nothing comes close to the M3 V8 grunt! :)
