You lucky sob! I envy you!pix said:So I went to EBGames today and traded in my PSP + 9 games. They were old games that I wouldn't play again. I did this because I was going to take advantage of the "Trade in 8 games and get $200 off a PS3". So i went in and asked the guy about it and he said he wasn't aware of any promo deal for the $200 off. So I traded in my shit anyways. It came to $177 total which I got put on a trade in card for later use. So I took a quick walk around the store and on my way out I noticed a flyer that had the exact deal I was talking about. So I went back to the desk and he said he was sorry and that he would have to erase my card and start over. So he put 8 games towards it for the $200 off and went to the back to get me a PS3. Well the retard grabbed the 80GB version (The promo was only for a 40GB + Spiderman 3 Blu Ray) I didn't say shit, I just stood there while he recalculated it all.
So he finishes it all off and says "Ok that will be $35." I almost shit myself. I knew he fucked up but I didn't say a word. The 80GB PS3 was $499 btw. So I paid with debit and left. I looked at my recipt and he gave me FULL Value credit for my used games, as if they were brand new. Hahaha!!
What is even better? I STILL GOT MY TRADE IN CARD! He never asked for it back to delete the credit. So I got an 80GB PS3 + $177 in store credit LOL!
Fuck yeah.
I also picked up a Sony Bravia 32".
Here's some pics..

nice. i think that guy was a n00b. in any case you got a so-so deal of trading all the stuff for $177 turning into an incredible deal in which you got $200 off a 80gb ps3 with the $177 store credit still remaining.

It's that time of the year again.
The batteries are gaming related: food for my DC VMU.
If I'm rather depressed in the next few days it's the fault of the movie. Cannot wait to watch it. So good. So gutwrenchingly sad. I love movies like that. Coming up next on my Anime-I-never-got-around-to-buying list, my Girlfriend the ultimate weapon (aka SaiKano). I shudder in anticipation. :lol

Very very good choice to buy Grave of the Fireflies.

November pickups round two for me : )
Region free ftw. FYI Europe HD DVD cases are a better than NA's. They don't feel as flimsy as NA next gen dvd cases. Feel more like PS3 case.

All were picked up on their launch days.
The controller glove and coin (and $25 gift card not pictured) are from preordering Galaxy at TRU.
The item in the upper right is my Phantom Hourglass Feather Stylus that arrived earlier in the month.
2000 Wii Points from clicking banner ads at Gaming Lagoon.

Excuse me, I was 6 when SMB came out and yes I played the hell out of it at the arcade. Hell, I used to go to Aladdin's' Castle every weekend to play SMB, Donkey Kong, Galaga and other great classic games. SMB was awesome back then. I am 28 now and it just isn't for me anymore. The last Mario game I thought was worth a damn was Mario 64. Even then I found myself playing more mature games like Rouge Squadron and Goldeneye.
I am sure the Mario defense force will come after me hardcore now, but I truly think that Uncharted is a better game than SMG. This is one mans opinion. Don't go hang yourself because of it.
Finally got validated so I can start posting here now I'll be respectful of others and their opinions as well as try to be helpful when ever possible.
It's been really neat getting to see pics of the stuff everyone's picked up. I think this thread's a great idea. I've even gone back through the rest of this thread's archive for this year just so I could see all of it.
I'd like to start posting pics of my pickups too. Do you guys prefer pics from a digital camera, or would it be ok for me to use my scanner to scan pics of the actual game boxes when I pick up stuff too?

Digital Camera or camera phone pics are cool. Just no stock photos, please. Its fun to see people take their own photos.
Hawt damn, I need to buy the special edition of mass effect.....did i just say that.

I agree, these threads are great. They are one of the first things I looked at when I joined NeoGAF!
Digital pics are great. It is generally frowned upon to link pics from game sites as anyone can google such and such box art and find it! I look forward to you pics in the near future.
^^Gotcha, digital camera pics it will be I just wanted to make sure what is and is not accepted. Before I got validated I saw some people get chewed out big time for the stock pictures. I can see why. If those were allowed everyone would just use those and you'd either just scroll through the entire thread or more likely just not even bother

Let me guess you have a launch XBox 360... :lol
But seriously, why do you need that many copies of the same game? Gift for friends? "Here you and you too... sure, got one for you also!"

I'm done for the month, and hopefully for the year.
It's the e250. It's got 2GB of storage and the Micro SD card slot support SDHC cards up to 8GB with Rockbox. With Rockbox, you can tweak just about any setting you want, so I have the wheel light disabled to save battery life.Apo said:
And you can play Doom on it. And Game Boy/Game Boy color games!

May the Schwartz be with you
Broke now :/ glad im working alot of overtime to pay for all of this stuff lol
Here goes for my first time pick up post:
Finally found SMT: Nocture, DDS1 and DDS2 (both in the deluxe box since thats how it was meant to be) in one place, so I had to get em. Just snagged Mass Effect today. Also since Gamestop was lame and didnt have the official case for Nocturne, I just found some custom cover art on the net.
Also holding Mass Effect for Christmas/ After finals. Hope theres a NeoGAF christmas post in the works.
