Forza Motorsport 5 Limited Edition

It was time

I have been a big Forza fan since the first one on the original Xbox. I knew when I finally got an Xbox One, I would be getting Forza 5. When I finally did get my Xbox One, I got the Forza 6 Edition Console Unboxing Blog Here

I got back into playing Forza a few weeks ago, after a slight hiatus, and since I had some Virtual Money in my Virtual Pocket, off to eBay I went. I found someone Selling Brand New, Factory Sealed Forza 5 Limited Editions for $19.99 Shipped. Of course I had to click the Buy it Now.

Let's open it up, and see whats inside

Steelbook, I love to collect Steelbooks

When I get a Steelbook game, I like to get a regular case and artwork to keep it on the game shelf with. That way the Steelbook doesn't get all dented and scratched taking it off and on the shelf. This pickup was no different.

Back to eBay I went, while I was waiting for my Limited Edition to arrive, and I found One, yes One listing for a empty case and artwork for Forza Motorsport 5. $1.99. with $1.99 shipping, I won.

And here it is, it is in brand new condition, to go with my brand new limited edition.

With everything tucked inside

Both cases together

I also had a free car download, I received an email from Microsoft/Xbox Live with a code for a free car download for Forza Motorsport 5, I received the email 11/23/13. Entered the code when I got my game two and a half years later, and still worked. Hang on to those old emails, never know when you can use them.

Here are a few quick videos I made of various races

That's it for today, heading off for a craigslist deal on some Sega Stuff! Will post soon.

Quick Black Ops III Brag

I decided after watching 007 Casino Royale last night to play a few quick rounds of Call of Duty Black Ops III Multiplayer, Felt like shooting a few kids in the face.

When I went and logged in, I was  greeted with the following message

 Wow, guess I had a good round when I played last weekend. I got a Killstreak of 16 in a match. It says it is in the top 14% of Scores ever for this game.

I am not even really that good, I used to be, I used to be awesome. But, I don't play nearly as much as I used to, and I have lost interest in the series since Modern Warfare 3. Not so much into the future stuff, if I wanted that I would play Titanfall or Halo. Bring back WW II or Modern stuff, that is where I had the most fun.

Anyway, I do have one question. Is that the top 14% of Xbox One? Or is it the top 14% of Black Ops III over all consoles? It does say ever for this game, so I am going to inflate my ego even more and say it covers everything, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Playstation 4.

Here's a video of me playing, but remember I warned you, I am not that good.

Enough Bragging, new video game pickups coming soon, just waiting for a few pieces to come from eBay, and getting pictures taken, etc.. etc..

Well Packed NES Game Purchase

I decided I wanted to play an NES game from my youth, that I remember enjoying. So while on my nostalgia trip, I hopped on eBay, and found it in the 5 Screw variant. (I personally like the look of the 5 screw NES games, and plan on getting them all) Along with another game for $6.00 shipped, figured I couldn't pass up on that deal.

I was surprised at how well packed this item was, and just thought I would share. My first thought on seeing the box on the table was "wow that's a big box for 2 NES games" Then I opened it, saw how well it was packed, and got out my phone for some pictures.

What I saw after first opening

Then I fished around in the packing peanuts to find my prize, even more well packed!

Saran wrapped tightly together to avoid scratching, nice.

And my Prize. Rush 'N Attack was the one I was surfing eBay for, never played Cabal.

I figure since they did such a good job, I would plug their eBay store for anyone interested.

Half Price Books Video Game Pickups

Today was Half Price Books Infamous 50% off your highest priced item coupon. My Fiancee and I headed on over to the Local Half Price Books, and Picked up a few games, and of course books, we read alot.

I only picked up 2 games, but they were ones I had been looking for. They did have Knuckles Chaotix for the Sega 32X, but were asking $90.00, Yeah NO, not even at half off would I pay that much.

Anyway, onto my pickups..... Both were Half Off, both my Fiancee and I checked out separately.

 Need for Speed Most Wanted Black Edition

Complete, in Great Shape with the Slip Cover (only thing not great)

 Sega Genesis Collection for PSP

Complete and in Great Shape as well

Aero the Acro-Bat for Sega Genesis

I picked up one of my favorite games for the Sega Genesis. I have my top 6 for the console (Road Rash 1, 2 & 3, Shining Force 1 & 2 and Shining in the Darkness), this would be #7.

 Aero the Acrobat. I have had this game for the Super Nintendo for awhile, but it just isn't the same. Me and a friend used to play this for hours at a time back on the Genesis in the early 90's.

I have been on the lookout for this game, since reacquiring a Sega Genesis a couple years ago. Picked this Great Condition, Complete copy up off eBay for $11.00 Shipped.

Did a quick gameplay video on my YouTube channel

I highly recommend this game, great great fun, even 25 years later. Now, I recently found out there is an Aero the Acrobat 2, Gonna have to be on the lookout for that as well.

Getaway Weekend Video Game Pickups

My Fiancee and I decided to take some time off work and go to the resort for a few days last week, and on the way back, since we were about 2 hours south of home, she though it would be fun to hit up some thrift stores. Made a few finds, and had a great time with my baby!

First stop, a Salvation Army in a little town. Picked up a couple PS2 Games, $3.99 each.

Armored Core 2 and Armored Core 2 Another Age, Both Complete and in Nice Shape

At Goodwill, Picked up a few things for current gen consoles, Both Factory Sealed.

Picked this up for our 5 Year Old, She loves it, She is playing as I type this.

My Fiancee Loves the Rabbids Games, This one plays like Mario Party, Lots of Fun!

Then we stopped at few more Goodwills, a Savers and some misc thrift stores we saw along the way, at one Goodwill I managed to pick this up for $2.00.

Nice pickup for my music collection, Godsmacks 1000 HP. I only have listened to it once, need a few more play throughs to give an opinion.

Before we left, I said I hope to find some Sega Stuff, I don't see Sega stuff out Game Hunting very often, so was very excited for the next few finds.

At a misc thrift store, I saw this in the case for $6.50. A little more than I would spend for a "sports game", however Boxing can be fun and they happened to have 50% off Pink tags, which this was!

Muhammad Ali Heavyweight Boxing for the Genesis, in Great Shape.

No manual though :(

Next stop was at Toyriffic in Maplewood, MN. Been here before, their prices can be hit or miss, nice guy runs the store though and enjoy going in and looking around and talking to him.

Cosmic Carnage for the 32X

Double Switch for the Sega CD, $4.99

Last stop of the day was a Half Price Books half a block from Toyriffic, Just 1 Pickup.

Saw this once a looong time ago, watched it when we got home, still a good movie.

More to Come!
