good deals there.

SamSho V for $1 is a steal.gmsnpr

I thought so too. I guess the EB games near my house is finally blowing out all of their orginal xbox games and aren't trading for them anymore. I would have bought more but couldn't remember what I already had. Has anyone seen xbox games at any GS/EB lately or was I just lucky to catch the tail end of them selling this old console's games?

none of my local gmaestops (EB isn't EB anymore, calling it so is an insult to EB's memory) have had any Xbox games in well over 2 years now :(

Just a few more pick-ups.  February's turning out to be a pretty good month for acquisitions.

From eBay:

     Eliminator Boat Duel (NES) - complete, near mint, £1.99

     New Ghostbusters II (NES) - complete, very good condition, £7

     Devil Man (FC) - complete, very good, £4.01

A couple more NES games and a random Famicom title. NGB2 is a PAL exclusive, much better than the other GB2 game on the NES and thankfully quite easy to find over here.

From Game:

     Prince of Persia (X360) - complete, good, £4.99

Just a used 360 game, one I've been meaning to pick up for a few years now.

From a charity shop:

     Point Blank 3 (PS) - complete, near mint, 99p

     Wipeout (PS) - complete, very good, 99p

Amazingly, I never had a PS copy of the first Wipeout until now.  I used to have a PC copy years ago, sadly lost in the great game cull.

And finally, another eBay lot:

     Conflict Zone (DC) - new and sealed

     Freestyle Scooter (DC) - new and sealed

     Jet Set Radio (DC) - new and sealed (a.k.a. Jet Grind Radio)

     Metropolis Street Racer (DC) - new and sealed

£11.99 for the lot, not bad for four brand new games.  I'd have paid that just for MSR and JSR, so the other two are a bonus.
