Sorry man. If it makes you feel any better, I didn't pay that much.

Backup battery to charge both phone & vita while at Disneyland...
Good deal considering it's $10 at my local shop.

Dreamcast bag arrived from Insert Coin ^__^
Also pictured my copy of Tales of the Abyss from Zavvi when they knocked it down to £13.86. Not pictured a 32GB SD card for the 3DS.

So I got these for a total of $182:
NLKS; Used Asia ver.
Gravity Rush; Used Asia ver.
BlOps 2; Used EU ver.
$50 PSN Cash card
35 Pound Cash card; $55-ish dollars
So yeah I got those 3 Used games for $77 =P
This is all after trading in 5 PS3 games for $68 to cut down on their total price btw.

Haven't had the chance to use it a lot yet, but today is the last day of work so I will be using it plenty this week
[I also got NSMBU and the Sonic racing game]. One thing is for sure: I am liking the controller A LOT. It feels great.I wouldn't spend $7000 on it either. I bought the console in Tucson, AZ
I really like that jacket.Just a few things I got recently:

Just got my Samsung Galaxy Note II! Feels good
Got my Neo Geo X controller in. Still waiting for the handheld.
They did a fantastic the packaging. I was one of the earliest of adopters of the AES in 1990 and the one I bought in Los Angeles had packaging very similar to this. In retrospect, it was likely a stop-gap to fill initial orders with the japanese packaging until the NA packaging was printed. This packaging really hits the right spots.
Stick feels slighty better than the PS2/PS3/Wii stick but not quite as good as the original AES.

That...is an awesome collection
I remember picking up Ico about 4 years after release in Gamestation for £29.99, was so happy to find it that cheap and complete with everything.

Got Crush for $5 on PS Store
^ Very good game
Same here, ridiculously nice phone, especially for tech geeks. It rains options. Got the brushed black/grey version as gf has the white, currently looking for a decent card to boost the space available..nearly used it all up with games! (sega has a sale currently). I read something about class 10 speed cards .. not sure of the best one though. Thankfully much cheaper than vita cards!
Vita + Note II = handheld heaven
I recommend this - http://www.jabra.com/products/bluetooth/jabra_street2/jabra_street2 - works with 2 devices at the same time, don't need to take your Note II out each time you want to change a song. Surprisingly good range and quality! (Has a built-in mic too and there's a white one and you can take off the lanyard)
It's huge. Basically like a mini-tablet, browsing and videos/games ..everything looks so good on it as well. But yeah, big (like 5.55" iirc) - sort of why the Jabra audio streaming thing above is so useful (for calls/music outside etc).

Holy Shit, this is amazing.

Few more pickups from the last couple of weeks. Nothing too exciting, but I am happy to have Fear Effect again. Still have to get the sequel.

The Shadow of the Colossus collection is ... bigger.
It's kind of out of control.
I'm not gonna post pics, but here's the link if anyone's interested in seeing it.
wOOw.
So ICO collection is the "little guy in the corner." Shadow is the best game ever made so mad respect.
That is truly amazing, I can't fathom how you find so much stuff to collect from a single game but damn that collection is beautiful, you must be really proud of it.

The Ico and SOTC collections are phenomenal. I can't recall a more impressive specific collection in these threads.

Finally got to exchange gifts early, and I couldn't be happier!
I did the waiting at Walmart for the Skylanders 360, but the Triton 720+ was a total surprise!!
The games I picked up with a $40 gift card from GameStop.. Not bad honestly
Not pictured is a 320gb hdd I got off Amazon.
Fingers crossed that the OEM HDD holds up.
You're a god among men. I bow down to you.

welcome to the club!
New Shelve. Grew tired of my Billy Bookcase unit because it was too deep for CD and DVD cases. Went with this Prepac BMA-0960 and I must say that I'm impressed. Look good, and even if its shorter than my Billy Bookcase by almost half, I could fit almost a quarter more games and I still have place left, and it fit CD, DVD, DS and NES games perfectly, making them appear more than normal shelves.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Just came in today! Brand new & sealed.

haha, i just bought a few Billy bookcases but this looks fantastic for storing blu-rays. thanks for the recommendation.
Extremely jealous of that GB Micro! I keep looking at them on ebay trying to find one in good shape, new & sealed! Awesome.
The big problem with the Billy is that the middle shelve is stuck there, and you cant put your shelves where you want, there is a lot of holes without, well holes.
The prepac have holes all the way down so you can adjust your shelves how you want, and the shelves are slimmer than the billy. But I still love my billy for Books and movies !

I think you may love it as much as I <3 SotC. I even have an SotC tattoo but I can't say I have such sweet posters.
Will you marry me?
My shelves were like 110$ of shipping. I took the frees hipping from amazon and bam, 3 days later they are here with 0$ of shipping.
Love my amazon free shipping.
Yea, I would gladly order from them if they didn't make shipping so high. I wish Ikea would use Amazon to fulfill online orders.
