More Original Xbox Pickups

Had a few more Original Xbox Games come into the collection recently

First Up, I didn't know this game was on the Original Xbox. I bought it in a lot of 2 because it came with another game I was after. One of the things that made a huge fan of the Xbox, all the PC Ports.

 Myst IV: Revelation

Complete and in Great Shape!

It came with one of the next pictures, the game. I picked up the Bonus Disc separately

 Oddworld Stangers Wrath

Game is Complete + Bonus Disc

And grab a Xbox 2-disc case

And another one in the collection

Next up, was just for the collection, I don't plan on playing it

50 Cent: Bulletproof

Complete game and Bonus Disc

 In another Xbox 2-disc case

And I originally was looking just for this Bonus Disc for my Xbox 360 copy

But, for the great price, I decided to add it to the Original Xbox Collection

 Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter: Limited Special Edition

Complete

Bonus Disc Contents

Now do I really need a copy for the 360 game?

We will have to see how long my impulse control lasts 

Upgraded my Xbox One Controller with Elite Parts

I decided to upgrade my Xbox One controller with Elite parts

Here is my current everyday use Xbox One controller

I had already upgraded it once with some Aluminum Thumb sticks a few months back, They are a whole $0 .99+ on eBay from (I think I paid $1.29 for the ones I got) with free shipping from China, I highly recommend them! I know I am going to order a few more sets, They work great when playing Racing games or First Person Shooters.

Then I came across This Article on MSN.com and I had to order This Elite Upgrade Kit off Amazon

My daughters fiancee' had gotten one of the Elite Series 2 controllers and an Xbox One X from Taco Bell giveaway's last fall, While it is a nice controller, I like the feel, the heft and the weight, it just isn't worth $180.00 to me, but for $24.99 this kit was just the ticket!

Even comes with the necessary screwdrivers

Comes with 3 different height thumb sticks, and the two different D-pads

You just need to replace the thumb sticks with the metal magnetic bases, and remove the original plastic D-pad and replace it with the green membrane that has magnets in it as well.

And 4 minutes later, I was done!

Viola!

And the mew magnetic parts added some extra weight and heft to the controller, I like it!

I knew I would never use the bottom programmable triggers on an Elite controller, although one of them would be nice to program Grenades to for playing Call of Duty, so I don't need to take my finger off the trigger, so this kit is the perfect compromise.

If you are like me, and don't need the bottom triggers, this kit for $25.00 is perfect, You could either put it into an existing controller, or even buying a brand new controller from Wal-Mart for $44.00 to put it in, that and this kit is only $69.00. $111.00 cheaper than an actual Elite controller.

I played both Call of Duty and Dirt 2.0 tonight, and I love my new upgrade!

Now I just need to find this:

Xbox 360 Games and Yes, Bonus Discs.

Been picking up some more games for the Xbox 360 collection

First up I finally picked up a physical copy of one of the games I originally downloaded and played digitally through Xbox's Games with Gold, and the game that introduced me to and enamored me with the Dirt series of games.

 Dirt 3 Complete Edition

Nice and Complete

I let this go once on the ol eBay, there was one at a Buy it Now for $10.00 shipped. I waited a day just to think about it, cause you know me, I want games as cheap as I can. Well, it sold long before I got back home the next day...... been kicking myself ever since. I finally scored this copy for $11.99 shipped. A Complete copy of the Complete Edition generally goes for around $25.00.

I wanted to get the complete edition, as it had all the extra DLC on the disc

Public Service Announcement:

See the gold ring on the bottom 3/4 of the disc?

The disc does not have complete edition on it anywhere. To make sure you are getting the right copy, the complete editions have the gold ring. I saw plenty of people selling a standard edition of the game in complete edition cases,....

Here is a picture of the Standard Edition for comparison:

Still a great fun game, I really enjoy.

Next

 Velvet Assassin

With Bonus Disc!

 Nice and Complete

Then, I got another bonus disc to upgrade another game, I upgraded once. already - HERE

I bought the collectors edition (minus statue) of Skyrim to get the soundtrack

had to get another 3 disc case

This case is hard to close, and heavy now.

I bought another $3.00 copy of Rage for the case.
