New Year, New Xbox 360 Pickups

I was listening to my favorite Video Game Podcast (Player One Podcast) and they were talking about how much fun the game Deadrising was. Now I know the original Deadrising was a release game for the Xbox 360, but I have never owned, nor played any of the Deadrising games. And since my tastes seem to run very similar to the P1P guys, I figured off to eBay I would go in search of a cheap copy.

I did a little research, and Gamestop would sell a copy for $2.99, but in using their website to check local stores, there were none. So on eBay I found a guy that had a complete copy for $1.99, but he also had a bunch of games cheap, so I messaged him and he combined shipping, so I figured why not pickup a few more games I didn't have on the cheap.

 Devil May Cry 4

Complete for $0.75

 Dead Island

Complete for $0.99

 Shawn White Skateboarding

Complete for $0.99

Stranglehold - Complete for $0.99

Guess I forgot to take a front cover pic, whoops.......

I believe this game also had a version that came with a bonus disc, future blog addition?

 Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce

 Complete for $1.99

Thick full color manual, you don't see those anymore

 Dishonored: Game of the Year Edition

 Complete for $2.99

With slip cover and Bonus Disc!

And the whole reason I picked up a few games from this seller

 Deadrising

Complete for $1.99

And the same seller also had this

 Hang On & Safari Hunt for the Sega Master System

No Manuals(s) for $4.49

And finally, a pickup off the Discord server I am a part of

Aliens: Colonial Marines

Factory Sealed for $6.00 shipped

I may or may not have a few things sitting around that I have picked up recently, check back!

More Additions to the 32X Collection!

I have been back in the 32X Collecting groove as of late. It is the one collection I want to complete, but compared to the other collecting tangents I get on, one of the more expensive.

First up is one I picked up early this year, January or February and just didn't get around to sharing

RBI Baseball '95 - No Manual

And another item I picked up the cartridge only for a few months back

NBA Jam Tournament Edition

I have had the case and manual for several years, yes years.

Then I originally bought this along with the Original Xbox game in this Blog just for the 32X specific case, but I am actually going to be using the cartridge itself as well for a future project.

 Another copy of NFL Quarterback Club

Complete 

Last week I came across an auction for these empty cases, the seller wanted $30.00 plus shipping for, I shot him an offer for $20.00 for just the 32X stuff, but he countered with $20.00 for all, I agreed.

 Extra cases are always good

The Wrestlemania game generally sells for $100.00+ complete, so having a case already means I can find a cheap Cartridge & Manual to put inside. I can sell off the Virtua racing box and manual as well as the Mortal Kombat manual, and another extra manual and artwork for NBA Jam to sell as well.

Next up, I pieced together this game from two different auctions

Afterburner

Back of Cartridge - A little sticker removal and cleaning don't scare me

I used to love playing Afterburner in the arcade, especially the sit down cabinet

I got the box and Cartridge from one seller for $25.00 shipped and the Manual for $10.00 shipped

Game usually sells around $60.00 complete. I am guessing the missing manual and sticker littered cartridge shied some buyers away, so giving me the opportunity for a deal!

Now onto a reproduction I bought from a guy on Etsy

 Darxide

Complete with Manual

This game is a European exclusive, that generally sells for over $1,000.00! Obviously I would not pay that, the guy I bought it from makes reproductions of this game, in U.S. style boxes for $60.00.

Original European copy pic I pulled off Google

and while going down the 32X region exclusive rabbit hole......

FIFA Soccer 96

This was the only other Europeon exclusive title for 32X. I bought this reproduction for $30.00. It is on a regular Genesis cart (which play on the 32X just fine) But I am planning to try my hand at making artwork and a label for the extra copy of Quarterback club I got above, so it will be on a proper 32X cart, to match the rest.

And my mommy got me this for X-mas

Haven't had a chance to read it yet 

That's all for now, already have more coming, see ya soon!

Playstation Game Pickups to add to the collection

I know I focus more on the Xbox side of collecting, and I am more of an Xbox fan than Playstation, and I would say I am an Xbox fan in general, but Given that I just recently got a PS4, I do have some Playstation on my mind.

First up at the Thrift store for $2.99

 ATV Off Road Fury 2

Nice Condition Complete Not for Resale copy

I was ordering x-mas gifts for the family from Amazon, I figured might as well treat myself as well

Deceptiopn IV Blood Ties

and

Deception IV The Nightmare Princess

I remember playing the original Tecmo's Deceptipon on the Original Playstation

And I got a great deal on this, Another Limited Run Games release of a Sega CD Classic

 Night Trap

Complete with Poster for $20.38

Should I frame it?

Limited Run released this with a reversible cover, the original Red Sega CD cardboard box art and if you were to use a Playstation 4 Hits Red case, would get that look nicely.

Like so

But, I myself prefer the Sega CD jewel case look

Dana Plato on the cover

And then, I found out that there was a cover variant sold exclusively at a "pop up" event

Yeah, the 32X cover art, I HAD to have it!

Got a brand new copy off eBay for $45.00 shipped.

Here they are together, a play copy and a stay sealed copy

More to come soon!

More Xbox games for the collection

An eBay pickup and a few Thrift store scores this weekend

First up, off eBay for $8.00

I bought this along with another item from the same seller, but that will be featured in a future blog

 Operation Flashpoint Elite

Complete and in Great Shape

Next up, stopped at a Goodwill where they price all their games @$2.99ea

 ATV Quad Power Racing 2

Complete in Good Shape

 Outlaw Golf 2

Complete and in Good Shape

 Starsky & Hutch

Complete and in Good Shape

Then I headed over to my favorite Salvation Army, Where I found

 AND1 Streetball

Missing the bonus disc and manual $1.99

I only bought this for the Original Xbox Double Disc case. These are a lot harder to find than their Xbox 360 counterparts. And I will just sell the artwork and disc in a regular DVD case for $2.00.

and

 Call of Duty Black Ops III

$2.99

This was a Multiplayer only game on the Xbox 360, there was no Campaign. 

I only bought it to complete the Call of Duty Games that were released on the 360 in my collection.

That's it for today, I do have some more stuff to take pictures of, Stay Tuned!
