  1. While buying some movies a couple days ago at my local Goodwill, I found a nice amount of PS3 games. Final price after 25% off for 10 or more games/DVDs/CDs: $2.99 each. And I found a pink PS3 controller for $4.99.
  2. Since I had some vacation time, I thought I would go to some garage sales and thrift shops. On Saturday, I went to one garage sale and picked up Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree for the Wii for $1, and the Bradygames guide for Grand Theft Auto V for $2. And at another sale on the block I live on, I picked up Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (ordinary GameStop cover), also for $1. That sale also had PS2 games for $1, but nothing but sports games. Sunday, I went to a thrift shop and got Lair for PS3 for $3, the price for any game in the store. Today, I went to another store and got New Carnival Games for Wii, Hitman: Absolution for PS3, & Darksiders II for PS3, plus 2 DVDs and a movie on Blu-ray. From the price lists posted ($3.29 for Wii games, $2.99 Blu-ray, $1.99 DVDs, and I think $2.99 for games for PS2/PS3/Xbox), I thought the games and movies together would be a little over $16. But there was some kind of discount today, and the total, before tax, came to $1.98. That would make the games at that store 33 cents each!
  3. Virtual Boy: bought it at a toy store, played it, brought it back to the store the next day to exchange it for some Game Boy games. Pong consoles: I just need one working console, don't need to collect the thousands of other pong consoles made. Coleco Adam: Needing the printer to power up the system? I will pass on this system. Any Xbox system: NO! NO! NO! To me, Series X looks like you can grill burgers on top. Series S looks like a bad stereo speaker. Not enough games exclusive to any Xbox system that would make me think about getting one of them.

  5. 2 weeks ago at a Goodwill I found a Nintendo Wii with no covers on the Gamecube ports, and came with just the power supply, A/V cable, and a badly scratched disc of NBA2K13 for $14.99. I bought it and it did power up. So I bought a third-party Wii controller, GCN memory card, refurbished sensor bar, and a couple of under $10 games (one each for GCN and Wii), and it worked very well. In the past week: At one game store, Game Freaks: De Blob (Wii) $7.99 Pokepark 2: Wonders Beyond (Wii) $34.99 And at the other game store in my area, Lion Guard Gaming: Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut (GCN, "Player's Choice" edition) $19.99 Finding Nemo (GCN, "Player's Choice" edition) $4.99 The Ant Bully (GCN) $4.99 Phantasy Star Universe (PS2) $9.99 Lara Croft, Tomb Raider: The Angel Of Darkness (PS2, with Hollywood Video game rental cover instead of original) $4.99 Had $5 in credit at that store, so $1 off the price of each of those games. And finally off of eBay: The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii, "Nintendo Selects" edition with ruined manual) for $18.03 (price includes tax and shipping).
  6. I went to a thrift store where they were selling games for $3. Picked up a copy of Virtua Fighter 4 for PS2. They also had a PS2 with 2 controllers and all the cables, but the man at the counter said he wanted $100. I passed. I don't think he had tested it to see if it works.
  7. "Whipping out the joystick and playing Atari." Best euphemism ever.

      Nah.  Not in a world where you can 'Crank one out with a playdate'

      So with Atari's old slogan "Have you played Atari today?", I guess they're expecting you to f*** or jerk it every day?!  Exhausting!!

  8. Monday I went to the local Rite Aid drug store. They still had a couple of PS2 games for sale! Ultimate Board Game Collection & Women's Volleyball Championship for $9.99 each.

      Wow! I have not seen any new PS 2 games at retail in a VERY long time.

       

      Ultimate Board Game Collection is surprisingly fun for what it is. The background graphics are quite decent. I probably paid somewhat less than US$10. 

  9. And also "There's some kind of problem with his joy stick and he wants it fixed now!!"
  10. SNES: Illusion of Gaia Soul Blazer Terranigma (It had an English language release in Europe and Australia, but not in the US.)
  11. Today at my Goodwill I found a copy of Densha de GO! for the Japanese PS1 for $2.99. They thought it was a regular music CD and not a game. They also had a copy of Professional Baseball Spirits 6 for the Japanese PS3 for $8.99.
