Latest Purchases

A few days ago;

Brilliant game. It has that special something that FF3 DS lacked, though I\'m not quite sure what.

I bought two XFX 9800GX2 1Gig DDR3 and a Neo Geo CD yesterday.

Yo moneybags! I saw a Neo-Geo CD down in Gamestation in Woolwich (they moved all their retro gear in London to that store apparently so I made the trip), they wanted 100 quid for it, or maybe 150. There was a CD-i there as well and one of them was £150, the other £100. Pricey, but attractive.

Yoshi's Story and Mischief Makers were £4.99 for the pair, buy one get one free. Carts only, definitely not collectors' items. Yoshi's Story is great, but I'm having trouble getting into Mischief Makers. It's hard to believe that this came out on the same system as something like Banjo-Kazooie - it's like playing a different console. I'll persevere.

If anyone's ever in the Clapham North area the Blockbusters Games is pretty good for retro stuff. It's pretty small, but they've got Saturn games and I saw a Sega Multi-Mega in there a few months back.

Yeah well the graphics cards are for the CAD programs I use for work really (R14), of course they will have there benefit with FarCry 2 and the likes also lol. I have been saving up for them for a long while now, I don\'t and cannot just buy these things on a whim. I sold my 8800 768mb Ultra at CEX to raise the money.

Neo Geo is my favourite console of all time, I already own a AES with many games. After someone started that thread about what console craze you missed out on I realised I had to buy one now before it was too late, and the price went up even more. I can get Japanese games pretty easily.

Woolwich is a direct BR train ride away from me, albeit the other end of the line. I will have to go there and check that out for certain. There are now very few good retro shops in central London sadly, it used to have the best but it seems central stores need the space for recent stuff now

I need a good game or two, I got Aero Fighters 3 (Jap) for £14 . I got mine for £80 in great condition.

£4.99 for the pair is of course a sweet price to pay. I have never played Yoshi\'s Story but SL got it on the VC recently and I was tempted, despite knowing it\'s piss easy and it being £7.

May have to go to Clapham North also, I can get a direct BR train to the Junction. Do they have Japanese Dreamcast games there?, or do they have a Nomad?

If that\'s a Philips CDi you are talking about I fail to see how that could be attractive to anyone. Even if it had those crap but rare Zelda games bundled with it I would still not consider it.

I want this next, I had one but sold it stupidly a long while ago, if you see one please let me know.

So tiny and so cute, it had some great games like Bonk and the very best shooters. I used to steal Hu Cards at lunchtime and sell them in the playground I remember.

Wow.....didn't you buy like two 8800s like less than a year ago?

No just one, and that was not really for my computer but instead the one we have in the house that everyone uses. Everyone contributed to that, although I did pay the most.

"And here...we...GO"

Xbox 360 60GB. £200

Xbox Live 12 Month. £29.99

Rainbow Six Vegas 2. £14.98

Halo 3. £19.99

Forza 2. free with Xbox

It's SO good having a 360 and xbox live again. I've had a 360 since launch back in December 2005 but I mistakenly sold my 360 and all my games about two months ago. I've missed it so much and can't mess the upcoming games. So I bought the new 60gb model and i'm going to buy a few of my old games, but mainly new releases.

Linkyshinks you always buy cool stuff.

In order of appearance:

Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland (Japanese Papersleeve edition)

The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute

Lemon Jelly - Lost Horizons

I got final fantasy tactics A2

Awesome!
and
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon exploerers of time

another awesome game!

!!!!!!! These Games Are Must Buys !!!!

I got this a couple of hours ago and have been playing Samurai Shodown 2 for the past couple of hours with it. Ultra rare so I had to fork out £59. It\'s got a heavier base than the light PS2 version that was made by SEGA rather oddly..

I also got this as a belated birthday gift, might as well post it here.

I've just bought myself Ninja Gaiden DS and Final Fantasy IV today, so i'm looking forward to playing them.

A great comedy, with an alternate cut made up of stuff that didn't make it into the original

Well i just got my PSP Crisis Core pack and i'm so pumped. The game is awesome and i don't know what else to say than every fan of rpg's and ff must buy a psp just for this game.

And i thought i better start collecting something so i got the first volume of Naruto. Can anyone recommend a shop in Australia that actually sells Manga?

It's a awesome game, I really enjoyed it also. That PSP looks sweet but I would prefer a GoW red one myself.

Garou:Mark of the Wolves (Jp)

Guilty Gear X + Soundtrack (Heavy Metal) (Jp)

Capcom Vs SNK (PAL)

Soul Calibur (PAL) because I have a Japanese copy and itwas high time I got the PAL version

Final Fight GBA, because I needed another copy to link up two GB Micro's and play 2 player.

Wii Points, because I ran out last night, and Megaman 9 is on it's way!

+ Various SCIV/FFCC: MLaaK dlc.

Also I'll say what I got in my last post that didn't show up through all the C3 problemos.

Soulcalibur IV + MS Points Card + Alien Hominid HD.

Got homestar ruiner aswell, got it free basically cause I had a bunch of 300 and 100 virtual points card built up over several months.

Also got Bionic commando rearmed and finally had to get a 2GB SD card for the wii to clear out the fridge.

On the topic of Downloadable stuff;

Bloody love it. You can see straight away that this is the grandaddy of Superstar Saga and the Paper series.

A star for you, good sir.

Anyway...

This is an Ibanez AW102. I recently sold a load of old guitar gear and I've been looking for something to act as backup for my gigging guitar. I played this at Dolphin Music in Liverpool and fell in love with it. It's versatile enough for the funk/rock/blues stuff my band does and perfect for jazz - which I really want to explore more.

Only £15 at Gameplay. It's about time I got a Wii game.

Cheaptastic.

Don't you mean boobtastic? anyway I got

Finally got my hands on a 360 a 60gb one too

Also got

This game is so awesome online, tbh I prefer it to halo 3 XD
