Managed to pick up the 360 version of Assassin's Creed II: White Edition brand-new and sealed for $38 (AU, so in game price terms consider that $19US) from GAME. Oddly enough they were selling the regular version second-hand for $55AU in the same store, I guess they just really wanted to clear some shelf-space. Considering it's going for $75+$15 P&H on eBay, I'm pretty happy. Unfortunately, I won't be able to open it up for another week, since it counts as my Christmas present from my mum.

 Also got the Collector's Edition of Fallout: New Vegas for PC for my birthday a few days ago, most likely from EB Games since it had the Classic Pack pre-order bonus with it. Have to say, those cards and poker chips are pretty damn sweet.

 Oh, and a few weeks ago I bought Crysis and the Kingdoms expansion for Medieval II: TW new from Dick Smith's for $6 each.

Picked up LoZ Phantom Hourglass and Meteos for £10 each from Gamestation. Both were in as-new condition, even the Club Nintendo Stars cards were still un-scratched.

 For some reason it keeps saying my HTML's malformed and no valid tags were found when I try to post, so just ignore this next bit:

 My mum's getting tired of me hogging the PC all the time, so I decided to pick up a PS1 off ebay (I've already bought a few PS1 games here, but I played them through an emulator). Got a non-PSOne model with 10 games of varying quality (ranging from "fairly good" to "why the bloody hell would you buy this!?", a non-official memory card, and two controllers for £6. Unfortunately I thought I saw two Dual-Shocks in the picture, but they turned out to be digitals. So, while I was buying a dualshock for 50p at Gamestation, I picked up a few other games:

Packaged with the PS1:

Virtua Pool (just the disc, good condition)

Jimmy White's 2 (complete, mint condition, surpisingly enough. I guess the guy I bought it from *really* likes pool)

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (complete, fair condition)

Driver (complete, large cracks in case, otherwise in fair condition)

Tomb Raider 2 (same as Driver)

Gran Turismo (Complete, fair to poor condition)

Tomorrow Never Dies (complete, fair condition)

World is Not Enough (same as TND)

 Sky Sports Football Quiz (ugh) (same as Driver)

Mission: Impossible (same as TND)

From GameStation:

Supreme Commander, PC, £0.99 (complete, V. Good condition)

From Entertainment Exchange:

 Music, £0.30 (complete, V. Good)

No One Lives Forever, PC, £1.50 (complete, good condition)

Odama £4.00 (complete with microphone, near mint)

Tenchu: Stealth Assassins, PS1, £1 (complete, V. good)

Dropped by a GameStation today, walked out with a few good games for cheap:

 P.N.03 (aka Product Number 3) (Gamecube, complete, good cond) £3.99

 Soul Calibur II (Gamecube, complete, mint) £4.99

 Knights of the Old Republic II (PC, complete, fairly good) £3.99

Sam & Max Season 1 (PC, missing the bonus poster, v. good) £1.99

Painkiller (PC, complete in cardboard box, mint) £0.99

The vast majority of my games came out after December '89, but I do have 9 games that are older. The oldest one's Kung-Fu for the NES, which came out a full 4 years 8 months before my birth.

Kung-Fu ('85)

Super Mario Bros. ('85)

Golf ('86)

SMB 2 ('87 according to GS, '88 according to Wikipedia)

Adventures of Bayou Billy ('88 )

LoZ 2 ('88 )

Stealth ATF ('89)

Operation Wolf ('89)

TMNT ('89)

So, how many of your games precede you?

Peter Jackson's King Kong Collector's Edition (PC), "New", incomplete (just the discs and tin): Free.

 A guy was selling a bunch of copies on Ebay for £3.50 each (99p excluding shipping), so I picked one up. It arrived without the outer plastic slip case, and it was just the regular, 3 CD version in the (admittedly, very nice black-and-gold) collector's tin without any of the other stuff. I sent the guy a message, he refunded me and told me to keep it. So yay for free stuff!

I am the only owner of two games: Melty Lancer: Ginga Shoujo Keisatsu 2086 for the Saturn, and Riot for the PS1. 15 games are on the "100 or under" list, which includes my entire Atari Lynx collection. My most-owned game is Half-Life 2 at 47k owners, folowed by Metroid Prime and FFVIII at 33k and 32k each.

Hmmm...definitely one of the more PC-centric collections I've seen around here. Excellent! Welcome aboard!jollyroger78

Welcome Sebastian!

I really like how PC games in Europe are sold in DVD cases instead of cardboard boxes, but it's a shame that the DS games look so generic and borring when they're lined up like that! :P

Thanks for the welcomes, guys!

Actually, a lot of PC games still come out with at least a cardboard slip case, it's just that I can only afford to get games once they've become rather cheap (£10 or under, usually), so by the time I get them they're pretty much always in a regular DVD case. Just about all the cardboard box ones were bought in a closing down sale for £2 each.

Last year I was staying with my grandparents in a village in the Netherlands, and I had to go down to the local pharmacy to pick something up. It was a pretty small place, with just a basket of DVDs as far as electronic entertainment went. While I was waiting in the queue, I flipped though the DVDs, and found a few copies of Project Nomads.

Incidentally, later on in the same village, I would find Mechwarrior 2&4, Vampire the Masqurade: Redemption, a big-box copy of Gunman Chronicles, and Metal Gear Solid 2 (PC), although in the more expected place of a toy store.
