More PS2 Games with Bonus Discs

 Picked up a couple more games for the Playstation 2 that came with a Bonus Disc.


First up, I already had the standard edition of this game, 

which I sold for more then I bought this Bonus DVD Version for?


Sonic Riders

With an Exclusive Sonic X DVD

Game Disc

And DVD

Next is one I had been aware of for the last 3 Years.
I had not seen one with the Bonus Disc, But many without.

I also Paid about 4 times what I usually will pay for a nice complete game,
But Again I had not seen one with the Bonus Disc for 3+ Years now, So Had to.

Psi-Ops

On the Back top right corner shows its the bonus version


Game Disc

And Soundtrack CD

I was hoping to get this for the Original Xbox. 
And I actually have the Proper Case Artwork for the Xbox version. 
Calls out the CD right on Front, Making it easier to find scrolling online.


So I might get the standard art for the PS2 and Get the Standard Xbox Version to put the CD in. 
But Like I mentioned, This was the First time in several years I have seen the Actual Soundtrack with one.

Frontlines Fuel of War Xbox 360

 I like Collecting Various Versions or Variations of Games to make my own "Ultimate Editions" 

(As I did HERE with Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2)

Working on my Xbox 360 Collection, I have come across a couple different Variations for 

Frontlines Fuel of War.

3 Different Versions

The Most Common one (Aside from one without any extra things) 
is the one with the Code for an extra Single Player Level

This was Available From either Gamestop or Best Buy

I was not able to determine which map was exclusive to which retailer
or
If it was Random from either which Code you got.

If anyone knows, feel free to comment below.


Next was a Soundtrack CD


This one was Exclusive to Circut City


and finally, one that seems to be rather Uncommon.

As I have alluded to before, many times the exclusive items are missing from various games when they are being sold on the 2nd hand market. I have only seen this next one without the Item twice, and finally this one, Which I bought for $11.25 off eBay actually had the Item with it

I was unable to find out which retailer or where this was from.

Again, If anyone knows where this one was from, feel free to comment below.


And Just because as I was perusing online to find these games, I came across a PC edition that had the Mini Brady Game Guide. Since I have several other Xbox 360 games from Best Buy that came with one, I figured why Not add the guide to my "Ultimate Edition"?. Plus I only paid $5-6.00 shipped

Dark Arena for Gameboy Advance

 Somewhere during my online Travels, I came across pictures of this game:

Pic of box I found on Google



I just got the Cartridge for $7.00 Shipped off Mercari


I Played it on the TV through my Gamecube Gameboy Advance Player, Which I have had since the early 2000's, Pretty sure I bought it Brand New on Clearance from Toys "R" Us for $25.00?


The reason I Immediately liked it and had to have it, was that it is clearly an Original Doom Clone


The original Doom series is one of my absolute favorite games so I HAD to have this!




If you are a fan of the original Doom than you need to pic this up!
