Gamestation had some pre-owned copies that were as good as new for £15 last time I went in so I bought one in case it got hard to find or something.DPrinny wrote:Yeah good luck finding a copy.Roo wrote:Oh, dear.

Retro is a state of mind, and cares not for your puny concepts like dates and calendars.

I cant be arsed paying a tenner+ for a Wii game.(or any game really)
As it means I have to find its cables to play the game
Was tempted by a s/h copy of Tenchu Wii for £6 in HMV
I have read that its not like Tenchu should be
As I said.
If anyone can still get it at that price I will haplly buy a copy off them (and add on postage)
Re: What games/consoles have you bought this week??
I have kind-of blown my monthly budget in an evening this week. While I'll be picking up any bargains I see really, I'm going to focus mostly on the Dreamcast. There's just something about that little white box that I adore, and I don't know what it is. Underdog appreciation, maybe?
Most significantly I picked up a copy of Shenmue 2, in very good condition, for just under £30. Other than a couple of marks on the sleeve corners it's pretty much mint - I didn't even need to replace the cases, which I have almost always had to do thus far with DC games. I did see a very apetising 'new and sealed' version on eBay, but I couldn't justify £150 for a game just because of a plastic wrapper, no matter how fanatical I am about the condition of the game! That's my monthly budget for this sort of thing out of the window in one game, at any rate.
I also found sealed copies of Space Channel 5, Virtua Tennis 1 and Ecco the Dolphin for £13, £9 and £8 respectively. Considering they're still factory sealed, I was quite pleased with myself, though I'm still acquainting myself with the sort of prices that games like these are supposed to go for, so I could have been ripped off for all I know!
Lastly, from eBay I caught MSR for a fiver. Not new, but may as well be. Even has a leaflet inside with a competition to win a Vauxhall VXR220!
And in my search for peripherals, I picked up both the mouse and keyboard, both box, the latter in new condition. I was going to bid on a boxed arcade stick too, but I missed the end of the auction and ran out of money.

Yeah, I was gutted to have missed that one, but I have heard it is a good game, so I don't mind paying £17 for it....better than the original full retail priceRoo wrote:Oh, dear.

Don't tell me that! I paid £20 from Amazon a couple of weeks ago. And to make it worse it seems to have got lost in the post!Roo wrote:Oh, dear.

Just grabbed Ghost Recon on the Wii for £9.99
Re: What games/consoles have you bought this week??
I stopped off at the local charity shop on the way home from work to see if i could pick up the GG with games that's been in the window all week. It wasn't there, so i went and asked if it had been sold.
Cue a puzzled face from the manageress and asking various staff members if they'd moved it....until the realisation came that some bugger had nicked it!!
How low can you stoop, to steal from a charity shop?
