Couple of Misc Xbox Pickups this week

Neat Logo I came across and wanted to use somewhere

I have been playing ALOT of the new Grid racing game, and it is ALOT of fun!

But, me being me, I still have been perusing the ol interwebs and picking up a few shiny baubles for my never ending collection that have caught my eye.

First up, as I showed in my last blog, I returned the improper version of a game I was sent. And I did mange to get the correct one, from a different seller, and for less money!

Secret Weapons over Normandy
 Complete
With the Bonus Disc this time

And speaking of bonus discs, A Xbox pre-order bonusc disc

Men of Valor pre-order bonus disc
Now, my only conundrum. Do I leave it in this case by itself, 
or Do I put it in a double disc case and put it in with the actual game?


The same seller also had a Xbox 360 game I had been after as well

 America's Army True Soldiers
Complete


That's it for this week, Now back to playing some more Grid!

Recent Decent eBay transactions, Meant it was time for some Bad

This pretty much sums my feelings feel about eBay.com

So, I have been having a streak of pretty decent to good luck on eBay recently, so naturally of course, the scum bags finally had to rear their ugly heads. But not only once for me, but twice 😡

The first jackass was selling a game with a bonus cd, you all know how I am about my bonus cd's!


Here is the title they had:
Secret Weapons Over Normandy w/ Bonus CD - Original Xbox Game - Tested

In the description was:
All games are cleaned, tested and guaranteed to work!
Item pictured is the same item you will receive. If you have any questions, let me know and I will answer them as soon as possible.

Along with these pictures
Shows with bonus disc in a Xbox double disc case.

This is what I received
No Bonus Cd, No Double Disc Case?? But it did have a manual......

So of course I file a claim with eBay, and get a return label, and I sent the time back. No Communication at all from the seller what so ever, still waiting for a refund.

The shitty seller #1 of the day:
99.8% Positive feedback



Two days later, I received yet another package that was not what was described.


I came across a Buy It Now style auctions for a Need for Speed Carbon Collectors Edition. It did not include the game disc, but clearly stated it did include the complete case, manual and Bonus Disc.

I wasn't sure if the actual game disc was any different than the standard edition (which I already had) or not, but for $5.55 shipped, I figured I would at least have the case and of course, The Bonus Disc!

However what I received...
No slip cover? This is supposed to have a slip cover...... No Biggie

But inside
What, what is this? an original Playstation game?? No double disc case? 

WTF?!?!?

Screwed again by another douchebag eBay seller, twice in the same week, twice two days apart!

I immediately filed a claim, and was refunded within 20 minutes, Kudos to the seller for the quick response and acknowledgement, however I am still giving you a negative, Fuckstick.


The shitty seller #2 of the day:
100% Positive feedback


So, that is how it rolls on eBay, good transactions only continue for so long before the thieving, scamming, scum crawl out from under their rocks.

A Couple Pickups and a Pre-Order

Found myself over at Half Price Books again, where I picked up a few things I was looking for.

An Arnold Schwarzenneger Comedy Classic

G.I. Joe the 1987 Cartoon Movie

Out of print DVD I have been wanting to get to watch, 
Last time I saw this was probably 25-30 years ago.

 Little Big Planet 3 for PS3
One of the last games I was after for my PS3 collection



And I recently found out one of my favorite game studios was rebooting one of their great racing games series, and it comes out next week on October 11th, I have Grid, Grid 2 (digitally 😖 ) and Grid Autosport on Xbox 360, and they are lots of fun. Now for Xbox One:

Grid? 

Not Grid 4, Not Grid something, just Grid again?

But, hey it is Codemasters and I know they make Great Racing Games!

The Ultimate Edition is $80.00, but includes a bunch of actual gameplay extras and other misc
99 extra events, 12 cars and other stuff, Sign Me Up!

And of course I highlighted the Highlight of the Extras (for me anyway)

Firebird? There are Firebirds in the game you say?

Yes, there are Racing models of the 1970-73 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am!!!
I love 80's cars, they are all I want to own, but I also secondly Love 70's Pontiac Trans Am's


Here are a few actual in game screenshots of the car I will be using most





Awesome, Can't Wait to play!!

I decided to preorder it from:

Yep Because they were offering a few more exclusive cars
