Couple Xbox Case Pickups

Picked up a few empty cases I needed for a couple Xbox One and an original Xbox Game

First up for the original Xbox

 Gauntlet Dark Legacy

I picked a disc only copy of this game up for a $1.00 a couple years ago at a Savers (Thrift Store) and have been on the lookout for a case and manual ever since. Which you wouldn't think would be too hard, but it was. There was a lot of "reproduction" copies of the artwork for around $5.00, and not many manuals.I finally ended up paying $6.00 shipped for this original one.

But this will have to wait to get matched up with it's disc, as I talked about in my last blog, my original Xbox collection is currently stored away. 😒

But onto something not in storage.

Brand New condition Cases for Wolfenstein II and Forza Motorsport 7

Now I can put my Steelbooks for these games away where they won't get scratched and dented up.

That's it for tonight, more to come soon!

Blog Update

Time for a little blog update

I recently moved out of my shitty apartment, and am staying at my daughters place for the summer, to save for a deposit on my own house this fall. And most of my stuff is packed and stored until then.

All I kept out was my Xbox One and 360. Played a lot of 360 the last year or so. Which leads to my collection direction for the spring/summer. I am going to be working on my Xbox 360 collection. Getting some more racing games I have been after and want to play. Obviously as cheap as possible.

Latest Xbox One Pickups

After a little blog vacation, I have returned. Did ya miss me?

I was in a Gamestop (Yeah, I just never learn) with my daughter and her fiancee' and I decided to pick up Gears of War 4 for $4.99, just for the case. My daughter had bought me the Ultimate Edition steelbook back at release, And I needed a regular case to keep it in. Anyway, for the price, why not?

And since I didn't need the actual game, I decided to sell it on eBay.

Even ended up making a little money, Nice!

I also picked up this for $4.99 at Gamestop on that same trip

Figured for $5.00 I'd give the campaign a whirl

For X-mas my 8 year old got me this

And my wife got me this

Steelbook, Does she know me or what!

I was finally able correct the mistake Microsoft and Turn 10 made in their infinite wisdom with the Forza Motorsport 6 edition Xbox one Console:

An actual physical copy of the game

A digital copy came with the console 

And some deals I got from the Microsoft store on Cyber Monday.

$8.00 Brand new

$30.00 Brand new

The best part is they really cost me NOTHING! Since I had my banked Microsoft rewards points, I just redeemed them for Microsoft/Xbox credit, and got these for free!

Speaking of controllers I picked this one up at a pawn shop for $20.00

An original Xbox One controller, before they added the headset jack.

Unfortunately, the A button doesn't seem to want to work........ Guess I will just have to crack it open and see if I can get it working.

And lastly the wife and I decided to pickup

It was $36.00

My wife and I played lots and lots of hours of Black Ops III together, so figured why not?

I could go on about this game (not in a good way), but it's late and I just don't feel like it, suffice it to say that even at $36.00 I feel like I spent too much.

Back Soon!
