Was my birthday last week, and had 60 quid in various cards, and I honestly didn't know what to buy wth it, as I sort of buy little bits and pieces all the time, so decided rather than games, I would buy a piece of hardware, instead of frittering away my cash. In a flash of inspiration, I jumped on a GP2X going on eBay for 60 quid.

Quite ftrankly the best gaming item I've had in a long time - been debating one since seeing them advertised in RG. For my money I got the console, TV cable, battery charger, 2 rechargeable AA batteries, carry strap, keyring, screen protector, and official branded hard case, all in. Bloody bargain.

Oh and 1 gig and 2 gig SD cards - which, upon inspection, contained - about 100 Amiga games, 200 Megadrive games, MAME with 100 games, 100 ish NeoGeo games, Speccy games...basically fully loaded.

Naturally, I deleted them all. I don't condone that sort of thing.

Holy Diver, Hyper Olympic, and Antarctic Adventure for the Famicom.

A bit tatty, but worthwhile none the less.

Played both the Xbox and PS2 versions. Lets just put it this way, at least you didn't pay to much for it

Some great bargains there, espeically DD and Syndicate!

You have to laugh at the boxart for Knights of the Sky: "Struggling against the social stigmas of the time, and the chaos of war torn Europe, two young airmen find romance in the skies"

LOL I just looked at it and thought that's a bit camp!

Still, they're happy?

I'll try to visit a few charity shops in London this Saturday, hopefully I'll be lucky too!
I'll check the shop on Goodge Street as well, though I doubt I'll find bargains...
