Post every time you buy/trade something Part VIII

Yeah, I wish I paid that price it was more $60... I'm afraid... Oh well it is still a good game even after all these years

 

Well, it's a tad expensive but as you said, it's hard to find the good MSX games these days, even in Japan. At least Knightmare is a fun game and also one of the few true MSX exclusives up to this day (except for Virtual Console)!

 

True dat At least it's complete, but I'm sure there is a nice supply chain of MSX games somewhere in Japan... need to find it... I'm not trying to build a full blown collection, just want to get the games I enjoyed when I was a child

 

Good deal on Waku Waku 7 on Saturn!

Picked this up for super cheap, actually only bid the 99 cents thinking it would go up and won it LOL! what do you guys think? did i get a good deal? not even a scratch on it, just got it today in the mail, i see all of the complete copies for at least 25....

 

I recently built a mATX PC for my friend using a Coolermaster Silencio 352. I liked it so much I impulse purchased its bigger brother, the Coolermaster Silencio 452 to rehouse my 3 year old ATX PC.

I'm not really desperate for a new case and the money could have been better spent on other things, but my old Centurion 5 II is a little worse for wear and it would be nice to have front panel USB 3 ports so meh.

mATX is the future though so I may pick up a Silencio 352 too and hold on to it until I'm ready to build my next PC as and when intel Skylake / nVidia Volta come around.

 

Some more games I picked up for my Gamecube collection all complete with instruction manules
most of these I won on ebay with the minimum bid some at a pawn shop for cheap.





and a couple retro games I found really cheap

 

just picked up a halo xbox ive been looking for, as i live in the uk these were not released here with the halo decals, this one was originally bought in new zealand, also got a blue xbox controller with it too

 

just picked this up for $15.. quite happy

 

Nice, I prefer those big chunky original Xbox controllers over the smaller redesign.

 

One of the only times I've gotten this lucky. I happened to be at the right place at the right time and got a Launch Team console. Yay







Dem Dukes:

 

I've never seen that Xbox Live bag before. Was that exclusively available with the launch team consoles?

 

I believe it came with the Xbox Live Beta 2 Kits and I think it also came with an Xbox Live Beta t-shit inside.

 

Aha! Thanks for clarifying, MoonTar, and nice find, A Toubib! Almost got one of the launch team consoles the other day from an ex-employee but it looks like he's flaking. I've yet to have a Craigslist experience that didn't end that way. :`-(

 

dam i guess i will never own one of them

 

Picked up a few more Gamecube games my collection is coming along nicely now with 161 of 649 games, one day years from now I hope to collect the complete PAL set with North American and Japanese exclusives.

 

the box is a little scuffed but
got this baby brand new today...

 

My "new" retro gaming 20" 4:3 ratio TV~

PS: was deciding between the Sharp 20" ( Sharp LC-20B4U) or Sony (KLV-20G300A), have gone with latter~
