Black Friday haul. Also bought Skyrim earlier this month. I've never played Ico, SotC, or any Metal Gear Solid game before, so I'm looking forward to playing them. I've already downed 6 colossi on SotC and 40 hours in to Skyrim. Have yet to start playing the others. I'm keeping my eye out for a Zelda bundle. I really want that thing, but not for $120.

Picked up some more DS stuff:

Tetris was $15 and Legendary Starfy was $10 at Target BF Sale.

Picked up The World Ends with You for $19 off Amazon after all of the praise it has gotten on GAF. They sent it on Friday, got it Saturday morning. Love Amazon:

Finally, I picked up the $99 DS Lite with the $10 Target Gift Card this morning. Will probably use this a lot more than my 3DS as I only have 1 3DS game (SM3DL). I really love the texture of controls and bottom of the DSLite. Totally work $89.

Where/How did you get these posters if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Gameboy415]

Got quite a bit of stuff over the last week:

All of the guides were a penny each at Best Buy.
The Amazon Kindle Gift Cards were randomly on clearance at Target for $17.50 each so I spent $122.50 to get $175 in Amazon credit which I used to buy:

Finally got a US XBOX 360 with Kinect!
It was regular price on Amazon ($299.99) but it came with $100 promo credit so after using the gift cards and getting the promo credit back, I basically got it for ~$150 without having to battle Black Friday crowds.
I've had a JP 360 for years but most of the newer games I want to play are not region-free so I've barely touched it.
The Deathsmiles LE was only $20 on Amazon, Alan Wake was part of a B2G1, and so were Kameo and N3 (and they were under $5 each to boot!).

Dark Forces and Die Hard Trilogy 2 were dirt cheap at Half-Price Books.
Afrika, Resonance of Fate, and Ridge Racer 7 are from Gamestop's B2G1.
Assassin's Creed Revelations and Earth Defense Force I got for $49.99 and $19.99 respectively.
Dissidia: DeweyDecimalSystem was only $9.99 at Best Buy.
Rango, Tomb Raider Trilogy, and TRON Evolution were all on clearance at Target for ~$9 each.

Finally found Pokepark on clearance at Best Buy and now have every first-party Wii game to date.
Zelda: Skyward Sword is my GOTY, I'm pretty sure.
SolatoRobo was $19.99 on Amazon and Thor and Samurai Warriors Chronicles were on clearance at Target.

I've got a handful of Blu-Rays coming from Black Friday sales a few more games too.
Considering how much stuff I got, I didn't spend as much money as I thought I would.

When guides get discounted like that is it YMMV or is it like that nationwide?

YMMV. My Best Buy never does the penny guides. They just ship em somewhere when theyre wasting shelf space.

Sonic Racing and a gingerbread heart from the Christmas market in Frankfurt.

You just brought back great memories I have of visiting an incredible Christmas market in downtown Chicago with my entire high school German class back in December of '06. So much damn good food....

 

[Litflynt912]

Just flew in from spending Thanksgiving in NY so I missed black Friday...which is totally fine...
decided to take advantage of the Sundays specials and picked up some things I have been needing...
new brown office chair...can't be beat for $40 and the Acer is the 21.5" best buy special...
needed something to hook up to the macbook..

not pictured is the Uniqlo(including $5.90 MH3 tees) haul from NY amongst the memories of meeting up with my best friends and having a blast

 

[Auron_Kale]

From Target:

From Best Buy (Unknown is from Fry's):

From GameStop and Wal-Mart:

And from Ulta - the deodorant was the BF purchase:

Still have Amazon purchases to take pics of (they're currently at work).

 

[def sim]

Well

Now I want Reese's.

 

[rakanishu]

Sold my 1998 E39 to get some real BMWs

One 1987 E28 518i and the awesome 1974 2002Tii with twin carburettors ^^

Edit: More pictures here

 

[Snkfanatic]

Omg at those BMWs the 2002 is gorgeous

 

[Eight Diagram Bat Fighter]

Im jelly.
I want that, my 21ux is awesome but it doesn't look as comfortable and adjustable as that thing (heavy as crap). The stand on it sucks.


also still surprised at no rotation stand, that seemed like a no brainier to implement.

I just use my ergotron, rotates fine. only thing I hate about my 21 is 1600x1200.

 

[Buttons]

Wow that BMW 2002 is gorgeous. My grandfather used to own one in white and then sold it shortly before he passed away. Will always be a special car to me, thanks for posting.

 

[rakanishu]

Thanks, my father had a 1502 in the same color when he was young so it's special to me too Looking forward to putting some money into it and get it really pretty looking. Engine and transmission is in perfect order

Birthday pickups from family - aside from the kindle it's hard to tell I'm almost 30

 

[jetsetfluken]

The hidden gem of 2011. My personal GOTY. I suggest JP VA. NA/EU has taken it for granted so much this actually got localized, it really didn't have to. Japan really loved it.

Play it.

Play it right now.

EVERYONE.

I want to, but I am on a budget. When it hits $20 I'm in.

Birthday gift and some cologne

Kindle Fire goodness

And to battle the dust

Simple solution is to buy just one less "hyped AAA" title that you can live without for a little while, and get El Shaddai instead.

 

[DimmuBurgerKing]

Wow, most of my pickups this month were digital. So, I'm afraid I have little to show at the moment.

Good job! I love that app, and how it emails you if you stop for more than a week.

How does it work?

 

[Cdammen]

I also ordered Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and Metroid: Other M. The Wii is my favorite system this gen, no doubt about it. I'm now finally realizing it.

Xbox 360 was my go-to hardware, at first, then I got a decent gaming PC. The exclusive exclusive didn't do anything for me on the 360... except for the first Crackdown and Earth Defence Force 2017. I also had a PS3, loved the Blu-ray functionality and the exclusive PSN games (Pixeljunk Shooter and Flower are ace), but sold it because the games didn't jive with me. So here I am. PC, Wii and the occasional portable console

(EDIT) rakanishu that BMW 2002 is HOT!

 

[PalaceBrother]

How does it work?

It's an iOS app that uses your phone's GPS. You can tell it what type of activity you're doing (running, jogging, cycling etc.) and start it as you begin the workout.

Depending on your settings it will periodically interrupt your playlist to let you know how far you've gone, what your average speed is and how many calories you have burned. These options can be turned off (I found it annoying). You can track your progress on an in-app map that displays the path you've taken using a Google maps-style interface, and it also shows where on the map you hit the first, second, third etc. mile/km. It's pretty cool to go back and review your old cardio routes.

Because it is storing all of this detail to the Runkeeper site (you can make your profile private if you'd like) it is able to "award" you when you break records (distance or frequency in a given week) and remind you via email when you haven't been exercising.

Edit: This is what the "review map" interface looks like.

Cheers, man. Yeah, RunKeeper is a great app.

Very cool, thanks. Think I'll try it out.

[Yes Boss!]

Got this totally for free cause Amazon messed up the first delivery of these Move sets...they gave me a $100 gift card to re-order it at no charge. Gotta love Amazon!

 

[Shadow780]

EMS shipping is so expensive....(

MGS HD Konami Store Package:

Type-0 LE

MGS board game and new ZOE goodness

 

[Auron_Kale]

I do not feel angry in the slightest that I missed out on Amazon's lightning deal for the CE version of this on Thursday:

Can't beat paying $12 when even the lightning deal was $40.

 

[Yes Boss!]

Picked up Valis II from the j-PSN store. Probably my favorite PC-Engine game of all time.

 

[vag 2.0]

Unusually big haul for me oct-nov, I don't do the 'backlog' thing generally

(also, not pictured, 1Q84 1/2/3 for kindle, God Hand & Daytona for PSN.)

I never quote pictures in here but... Those mugs are amazing. I want one. Or two! And the Risk game seems awesome too.

 

[Auron_Kale]

What is this?

It's basically a 'handbook' for being a Jedi. Thing I love most about it is how it breaks down all of the different lightsaber forms - so much fun.

Wow, that looks pretty damn awesome.

 

[Auron_Kale]

whoa, sounds like a Jedi fan's dream.

It's pretty cool, especially how there are 'notes' from the other Jedi commenting on things. Definitely a book for Star Wars fans, but there are cool things - like the Jedi combat forms - that do seem to expand on what isn't seen on-screen or in-game.
