I know it's completely useless (especially because I already have one) and there's no point to buying it, but I picked up the 20th Anniversary Special Edition Game Boy Micro yesterday. It's the same thing as the Japanese Famicom Edition.

Although I'm thankful, I'm not quite sure why Nintendo chose to release the Famicom version here in the States. I'll bet the vast majority of gamers here have no idea what the design reference is.

I found a couple of things today:

1. Game Gear with aftermarket AC adaptor:

2. Chicago Syndicate, GG, cart and case only

3. Predator 2, GG, cart and case only

4. Road Rash, GG, cart only

5. Sonic the Hedgehog 2, GG, cart only

6. X-Men 2: Gamemaster's Legacy, GG, cart only

7. Hat Trick, Atari 7800, cart only

8. Jinks, Atari 7800, cart only

9. Back to the Future, NES, no manual

10. Top Gun: The Second Mission, NES, no manual...all ten things for $38

All I wanted of the GG stuff were the games, but it was a package deal at the pawn shop where it was.  I'll sell the hardware within a few of days; even though it's in pretty good shape, I don't really need or want two Game Gears.

11. Dick Tracy, NES, no box, $3

12. I-Ninja, X-box, moderate disc scratches, otherwise mint, $5.99

13. God of War, PS2, new/sealed, $28.88 (Target sale)

There was a "Buy 2 used, get 3rd for a penny" sale at one rental place I went today, but out of the 6 games I took to the register, only i-Ninja and Tekken 4 had manuals; as Tekken 4 was $16, I left it behind.  

I recently bought:

Stubbs the Zombie: Rebel without a Pulse (XBox)

Received for Xmas:

• Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time (DS)
• Mario Kart DS (DS)
• Half-Life 2 (XBox)
• Capcom Classics Collection (PS2)
• Baiten Kaitos (GC)

I got metroid prime today for $1, it has a echos demo in it as well..... mint and complete waflerevolution

That is a good buy.  Last night I bought:

Blood Omen: Legacy of Kane, mint non-GH, PS1, $14.95 (better manual to upgrade mine)

Mechassault, X-box, mint used, $9.95, by trading in my 2nd Game Gear, so I paid $15 out of pocket for these two. 

King of Fighters Extreme, NGE, new, $6.99

Puzzle Bobble Vs., NGE, new, $6.99

Capcom Fighting Evolution, mint, X-box, $16

King of Fighters 02/03, mint X-box, $32

Again, great find with Bust a Groove; I love that game.  I found a couple of cool things Thursday night and last night:

California Games, mint cart, NES, $4

Conker: Live and Reloaded, mint complete, X-Box, $12

Cy Girls, mint complete, PS2, $4

Firefighter F.D.18, mint complete, PS2, $12 (2nd copy for trading) 

Gradius V, mint complete, PS2, $12

Ninja Gaiden Black, mint complete, X-Box, $12

X-Men Legends, new sealed, GameCube, $19.99

There is a used complete copy of Ikaruga (GC) for $30 that I've got my eye on, but didn't buy yet.  I think a 2nd copy for trading would be cool, but I feel like I should let someone who's uninitiated get it to learn what a great game it is firsthand.

I picked up a couple of things yesterday:

Brute Force, new and sealed, X-Box, $7.56

Tekken 4, original, new and sealed, PS2, $16.56, the sad thing is, I forgot I already had this one at home, Ugh.

Dreamcast VMU (blue), new and sealed, $0.99

Psyclone "competition grade" X-box component cables, new and sealed, $21.65 (on sale from $59.99).  These will come in handy in all those money games of Halo 2 that I play.:roll:  They're basically Monster Game cables and I'll convince myself that the video is just slightly better than my 1st-party cables, even if I can't actually tell.

Ikaruga, GC, new/sealed, $0.01 (see my journal)gmsnpr

[QUOTE="propyro"]Just picked up Chaos feild for Gamecube. This game is something i've been waiting for since august. Pick it up now if you can find it because it's only been produced in small numbers, plus it's a good game. Ported from Milestones awesome dreamcast game of the same name. You'll almost never run into minor enemies in this game, it's all boss fights.keiblerfan69

I picked up a sealed copy Primal for PS2 today at Circuit City for 10 bucks. keiblerfan69

That's a good buy and I like that game, partly because of Hudson Leick's voice work; CC has lots of games for sale on the cheap right now.

Just found a new copy of Gitaroo Man (PS2) at Fry's of all places.  $40.   Did they rerelease it?CodingGenius

I believe so, because I've been seeing a couple here and there recently.  As with the Rhapsody and Persona 2 re-release, the way to tell is if the game has the barcoded seal across the top.  Those copies don't seem to have the seal, though they might be wrapped in cellophane or otherwise shrinkwrapped.  My new Gitaroo Man has the factory seal, but I bought it maybe 2 years ago.

Still, that's a pretty good buy; the ones that I've been seeeing have been sold for $40 as used.
