Quite a haul here!
First up: American and Japanese Sweets from Memorabilia at the NEC. Thanks to AmericanFoodDirect and TokyoToys stalls for these goodies! Looking forward to diabetes!
Next: Atelier Rorona. Actually bought this a few weeks ago, but I don't think I posted it here. NFS Hot Pursuit I picked up yesterday. Liking it. Got Scott Pilgrim from a stand at Memorabilia today.
And all this? FREE SWAG from the Koei stand. Not pictured: DOA Paradise desk calendar.
Pictured? (The Jewel cases are double sided holding 2 games each)...
FULL promo copies of... Dead or Alive Paradise, Persona 3, Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires, Atelier Iris 3, another Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires, a third DW5 Empires (Might give these to anyone who's in want), Samurai Warriors 2 Xtreme Legends, DW: Gundam and DW: Gundam 2.
Also, Prinny OST and Trinity Universe Art/Guidebook.
Not bad for free! Props to the Koei guys for giving away full games for nothing!

The softcovers have held up just fine for me. The NES one was the biggest and got the most wear and tear but no spine bends or loose pages. The softcover is just fine for practical purposes.
Of course, the hardcover usually has some extra content and will last much longer over repeated readings. I'd say go with paperback if you're just looking to read them, hardcover if you really want to collect them/have extra money to spend.
The price difference was significant to me so i go for paperback. They've been just fine.
I bought hardcover of 3 and 4 because some of my stuff is only in the hardcover versions of those volumes, but the rest I've gone paperback. The quality's still quite nice, so don't worry about getting paperback only. The hardbacks are a very expensive option--though if you have the money to throw around, the hardcovers really do look fantastic. GSQ5 and GSQ6 also have identical features in both versions, which will be the norm from now on.Stumpokapow said:
My copy of Assassins Creed Brotherhood Codex edition finally showed up and I have to say, it's one of the better collectors editions out there. IT's certainly best compared to Assassin Creed 1 and 2's collectors editions.
Still in it's box
What's this?
It's stuff from the Assassins creed animated comic that is coming out soon.
Ah, some stills from the comic. Nice artwork...
Oh! hope I get a shiney inside.
Nope, no shiney but descriptions of all the multiplayer characters.
And also Just Cause 2 that I got for a tenner from Zavvi and an 8gb USB pen I got for £7 from PLay.

listen to the mad man

For my purposes at least I don't particularly care about the extra content and I'm just wondering about paper stock / wear-and-tear / degree of gloss finish / thickness / weight.

You son of a...
Xbox 360 250GB Slim. Microsoft. $238.
I needed a quieter Xbox 360 since the one I had (20GB Pro) was extremely noisy while playing a DVD. I also only had 1GB of storage left and was limited from buying all the XBLA games that I haven't bought for the past year or two. Lastly, I'm able to install games without worry of deleting other items on my hard drive. I've had this for about a week now and I'm thoroughly impressed.
iPhone 4. Apple. $362.
HD Anti-Glare Film Set. Power Support. $16.
After a little over three years, I've decided to upgrade from my original 8GB iPhone. Wow, what an upgrade. I was going to wait for the elusive white version but decided to get the black one after the announcement of not knowing if the white one will ever be out. With my original iPhone, I bought Power Support's Anti-Glare Film and have kept it on there ever since I bought it. Unsurprisingly, I'm sticking with the same screen film for my new iPhone.
Espgaluda II. iPhone. $9.
With my new phone, I had to get a game to show it off. When it was released, I didn't buy Espgaluda II due to the game only running on an iPhone 4, iPad, iPhone 3GS or a 3rd gen iPod Touch. I don't have either of those until now. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Lobster Roll. Zen Sushi at Millbrae, CA. $7.
Was hungry. Zen Sushi had a special where all their sushi were half off. This was one of the rolls I got. Delicious.

If you look closely in the picture of Espgaluda II, I do have the film on.

Picked up a TG-16 a few weeks ago - complete in box and all paperwork. Controller even had the plastic layer over the artwork. Finally found a good collection of games on ebay, someone selling 15+ games was willing to pull these 11 off of auctions and sell to me privately. Not a bad haul for $100 shipped.

DSI XL. My old DS Light started shutting down every time I pressed A & B together (and sometimes just A) so I could only play games which was all stylus controlled. Not an uncommon problem apparently.

As usual pic quality is terribad, but I got a bunch of Mario figurines, not pictured are Donkey Kong, Dixie Kong, Peach, Daisy and Lakitu. I forgot to take their pic, and I'm to lazy to do so now.
Also an Epic Micket shirt which I also forgot to photograph, but luckily you can still see it lying in a shameful pile on the floor. And Ys Oath in Felghana and Gray matter CE.

For those shots, I was using a Canon Digital Rebel XTi with a Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L lens.

I got the 250GB Xbox 360 from Amazon's Warehouse site. It was marked as in "very good" condition. The only thing that wasn't new was the controller as it showed normal wear. Otherwise, the entire system/box/manual was in like new condition.

Sigh, I wish there were some early leaks here in NYC to find.
