MM, i love the ban warning image :lol

 

[Struct09]

You should have printed out the warning and taken a picture of it!

 

[maskrider]

DS DQ4 JPN

 

[-PXG-]

My red controller better fucking come in today

 

[Like the hat?]

Only things i'm picking up are fallout 3 and lbp near the end o' the month

 

[BIVIANO!]

Took advantage of the short lived B2G1F blu ray deal on amazon. And props to amazon delivering in a week, instead of the anticpated 4 weeks.
End of this month will be massive.

 

[TaKeRx]

Showing my gratitude towards spike.

 

[Danielsan]

These are kinda my September pick-ups but I forgot to post in the September thread.

Haven't even put it in my PS3 yet.

The reason why:

Started on my Blu-ray collection.:

 

[sixteen-bit]

T-shirt + Yasushi Suzuki artbook

Judith + Holofernes is the first thing I ordered from Threadless in a long while. To my surprise the fabric is much nicer than whatever they were using before.
As for the artbook, around here Yasushi Suzuki is probably best known for Sin & Punishment and Ikaruga's art.

 

[Ikopi]

Some books and the monthly magazine.

One new game, three old. I'm very curious about the World Driver Championship, I got it because of all the gaf-love.

 

[drakesfortune]

This is the past 2 months for me. Before we start, I just want to thank Target for having such amazing clearance prices. Target, you are my video sugar daddy. Hat tip to CAG for helping me find more deals than I can handle.

First pic, we have Lego Indiana Jones (My son got this for working really hard learning how to ride a bike on 2 wheels and dunking his head in swimming class 3 times in a row ) , Madden 09 Special edition which was clearanced at Target after 2 weeks for $45. I then sold head coach for $30 on eBay. Total cost of Madden 09, $15, then the Godfather which was $16 new at Circuit City, Ratchet and Clank a buck fifty new at Shopko, KotOR II which was $5 used at Family Video, and finally SSX 3 which was also a couple bucks used somewhere.

Next up we have Condemned 2 Target $10, Crackdown, Bully Target $15, Arcade unplugged $7 on Amazon, Prey $4 at gamestop, Lost Odyssey Target $15, Scene it Target $15 with all accessories.

Next up, WipEout HD...Yum.

Next up, Bionic Commando R

Finally Braid

 

[Hero]

Have another Saturn USB pad connected to my PC that isn't shown.

 

[Auron_Kale]

I have something else that's arriving by UPS later. Pics tonight.

 

[Drkirby]

The bulk of what I got in september

FFXII and GOW were $5 each, Yakuza, and PD0 were $10 each, GBA player for $15, and Nights for $7.50

Megaman and Bass, Megaman Battle Network, and Megaman Battle Network 4 (Not pictured), were $20 all together, Geist + FFCC + DBZ were $13, 360 controller was free, EBA was free, Wavebird was $15, GBA - Gamecube link cable (Which makes 4 now ) was $3, and the Mushrooms were $10

$40

So, all together, about $150 for everything, not to bad for the bulk of what I got.


Thoug it is missing DQIV and KSSU.

 

[Bliddo]

 

[TommyT]

Do all the movies I get from my newly acquired netflix account that I will be copying count?

 

[alr1ght]

These do not work with a USB to xbox converter.
There are a bunch of black ones up on ebay now.

 

[cleveridea]

Circuit City didn't have the bonus key chain for silent hill. They did have the bonus skin for the sonic chronicles.

Better shot of the skin

Picked up DVD 2 disk special from target $23, cool case

 

[ZerotypeX]

T-shirt + Yasushi Suzuki artbook

that shirt is pretty bad ass

 

[Kadey]

Andy Bogard once said. "Feel the storm? It's coming."

 

[MarkMan]

alr1ghtstart, which converter were you using?

And was it for Xbox or 360?

 

[Allan Holdsworth]

Not much:
-Logitech Precision (PC)
-2x Energizer NiMH AA

 

[Ronin]

[alr1ght]

alr1ghtstart, which converter were you using?

And was it for Xbox or 360?

just a generic usb to xbox (1) cable off ebay. It doesn't work with 360 either.

 

[Chromax]

I'll start with my new PC!

Quad Q9650 @ 3.00GHz
8 gb ram
Geforce GTX 280

Some games to go with the new PC.

Rosenqueen finally sent my order...

Some new Blu-ray to try out the new PC's blu-ray drive.

Ahh.. it's cuz that cable is just an extension/adapter. It doesn't convert the digital signal into analog (which the Xbox needs to recognize)... ;(

i don't think they make those. I did some research and apparently the only way to use a non-xbox controller (without a driver adapter) is to solder the buttons 1 to 1 on the new controller to the xbox controller. I have a PS2 to Xbox adapter that works fine though.

 

[MarkMan]

Yea, there is a way but you'll need to do some some mod work on your end.

Or you can get a PS2 Saturn controller :x

 

[Flunkie]

 

[Stabby McSter]

the 360 is actually from last month, just never took a shot. my other one rrod'd, so i decided to buy a new one and just give the old one to my brother

also bought some sb's and a jacket

 

[Amir0x]

Doing some Xbox 360 repurchasing. Halo 3 in anticipation for the new campaign, Gears of War in anticipation for its sequel. Orange Box on a whim... it was marked 14.99 at K-Mart accidentally and they honored the price anyway.

Doctor Who Season 3 and Wario SHAKE DIMENSION.

Downloaded: Rez HD, Megaman 9, Castle Crashers.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

Finally got Yakuza 2 after it having been sent to France for some reason. I'd like to thank the French postal guy who wrote "Suede" on the package so it finally got here. Thank you French postal guy!

Die Hard 4 was $0.15.

 

[atomico]

not sure I'll be able to make it in time. got an exam tomorrow

 

[BakedPigeon]

EDITED since I done fucked up.

 

[LiK]

I just got back from town and made a few pickups when I was trying to track down Silent Hill Homecoming.

My original Halo disc is so fucking damaged that it no longer plays so I decided to pick it up again.

[B]I'm planning on modding my original xbox with xbox media extender so I picked up some splinter cell for the save exploit, plus its a fun game so I will play through again.

[WickedCobra03]

My original Halo disc is so fucking damaged that it no longer plays so

Don't feel bad, I had to do that with Halo 2. My original Halo 2 copy had about a million miles on it and many LAN parties with friends it was disgusting...I know I got my 50 out of that game!

 

[Bliddo]

I just got back from town and made a failing post

I see

 

[dragonlife]

Wow, even the warning banner didn't help...

[Darkman M]

the 360 is actually from last month, just never took a shot. my other one rrod'd, so i decided to buy a new one and just give the old one to my brother

also bought some sb's and a jacket

Those Sb's are nice dude.

 

[Gary Whitta]

My first time posting in a pickup thread. Fun!

I believe they do work with PS3

 

[MarkMan]

BakedPigeon, delete while you still can!



ALSO... The Saturn USB controllers.. They work on PS3 and PC yes. A lot of people are getting them for emulation/GGPO (http://ggpo.net)/other stuff, who knows what.

 

[Nemo]

At this point, you'd think it was done on purpose. :lol
