More PSP UMD Video Pickups

More UMD Videos for my Collection!

So, I picked up a few more of my latest obsession, UMD Movies to watch on the PSP.

Saw an eBay auction for 3 Factory Sealed UMD Movies, Starting at .40 with $4.00 Shipping. I don't remember what I put for a max bid, probably whatever I had in my Pay Pal account at the time, and ended up winning the auction for $2.08.

Factory Sealed

 The Exorcism of Emily Rose, The Grudge and The Fog (the only one I haven't seen)

Last Saturday we (My 2 daughters  and myself) happened to wander into our favorite Pawn America, which we hadn't been to in awhile. And I scored a few more.

Die Hard (Awesome Xmas Movie), Ghostbusters and XXX.

They were having a sale, and he gave me Die Hard and XXX for $4 for both.

And I was looking at my Wii U Tablet Stand (The non charging one) and thought Hmmmmm?

Make a Great PSP stand, leaves enough room for the Headphone/Ear Bud Jack too.

More Video Game Pickups!

Been a long while since I have been out game hunting, but I have manged to pick up a few new things, which I will share with you all here.

First Pickup:

Finally picked up Grand Theft Auto Five for the Xbox One. I already had the collectors edition for the Xbox 360 since release day, but Rockstar added a First person view to play. I have wanted that for GTA since GTA III.

First Person view is awesome!

Second Pickup:

My daughter was out on her birthday and went to a new local video game store and found me a couple Playstation 2 games. She bought Me games on her birthday? What a girl. Thanks Again Mir!

Sega Classics and Resident Evil Outbreak

Both Complete and in Good Condition

Speaking of Sega, my Third Pickup:

I got the yearly Half Price Books coupons, featuring the 50% your highest priced item one. I never need a reason to go to HPB, but made a trip the day the coupon was valid. Now, the local HPBs around here are SO Extremely Ridiculously overpriced on their games, that even with the coupon, all I came away with was this.

 Air Force Delta for the Sega Dreamcast

Complete and in Good Shape for $4.00

That's it for today, got a few more posts coming soon!

Destruction Derby for Sega Saturn

Long Time, No Post. Sorry about that, I wish I could say I have been busy, or otherwise indisposed, however the honest truth is, I have been just plain lazy.

I have been playing a lot of Forza, Both Motorsport and Horizon. I downloaded & completed the Storm Island DLC for Horizon 2, finished the main story for Horizon 3 (still plenty do to though) and Downloaded the Blizzard Mountain DLC for Horizon 3 as well. I wanna finish Forza Motorsport 6 before the new game this year. Still have roughly 15 hours left of the campaign, and 20 hours of the Endurance races to go....

Anyway, enough about me, on to Destruction Derby!

I first played Destruction Derby at my buddies house, we both had a Sony Playstation, and were always hanging out and playing games. Destruction Derby had a Link Cable feature and we would hook up both our Playstations and TVs and race and crash against each other. It was a great time. The Destruction Derby series is one of my favorite franchises (except Arenas on PS2, What a disappointment), with Destruction Derby 2 being my favorite.

 So I finally got a Action Replay to play import games (From Japan and Europe) on my Sega Saturn, and what is the first game I get? Destruction Derby. I got a Brand New factory sealed Japanese Sega Saturn Copy for $11.00 shipped from Japan.

There is even English on the manual, cool.

Now I can import some other games, like all the Macross (Robotech to the U.S. fans) games Japan got, that we didn't. I also recently learned the PSP is Region Free, as far as the games go. Not the UMD's.

How many copies of Destruction Derby does one guy need?

Scumbag Thieving eBay Seller

To piggyback off of yesterdays blog, I would like to call out a Scumbag eBay seller.

I praised an eBay seller (HERE) after receiving a great deal, great packaging, just because. So, Why not call out a Douchebag, Thief as well?

I was looking for a PSP UMD Video I was after, 1995's Hackers. Yes I know it is not a very accurate portrayal of hacking, but it is one of my absolute favorite movies. I have seen it hundreds of times, it is just a plain fun movie.

Anyway this seller (who had 100% positive feedback at the time) had a copy for $1.50 with $2.67 Shipping, with zero bids, and the auction was ending that night while I was sleeping. Not a bad price. I put in a bid with the remainder of my Pay Pal account balance for a bid including shipping, which that night was $4.22, LoL. And I ended up winning it at the starting bid, so total it was $4.17.

2 weeks go by, aaand No Item. I contact the seller, aaand 3 days later No Response. I wait the alloted amount of time and open an eBay claim, and eBay refunds me the next day.

When I go to leave Negative feedback, I see someone else also left him a Negative calling him a "Bad Seller" the same day. His item cost? $1.00. Was this guy so hard up for cash, he had to rip people off for a couple of bucks? Who Knows, Who Cares, Fuck this Guy.

And the Scumbag is?

PSP UMD Movies

I have had my PSP for a little while now, I don't play it all that much, but then again I don't play any of my handhelds all that much, Anyway.....

 I am fortunate enough to have an office job where I can listen to my iPod all day. I generally listen to both Podcasts and Music. However, I had to work 4 hours New Years Day (well the day after new years since it was on a Monday) this Year. Now I file Compliance paperwork with banks, and they didn't work that day, as they "observe" it the following business day.

So, I decided to mix it up a little, and I brought my PSP and a couple UMD Movies (Clerks & House of 1000 Corpses) to listen to/watch. Propped the PSP between my Keyboard and dual monitors. It was kind of a nice break from Podcasts and Music. There is NO way I could do it on a regular work day though, the VP would FREAK. But, I can do it on those occasions where I go in for a few hours on a Saturday.

I looked up a list of UMD Movies, and made myself a list, and are now looking for somethings I am hunting down. Here are a few I decided to pick up.

Factory Sealed The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Remake, $4.00 Shipped

 Hostel $4.17 Shipped

My PSP UMD Movie Collection. Hitch & Fantastic 4 are Factory Sealed as well.

I plan on building up a library, to mix it up when I have to work a holiday (or observed holiday) or a Saturday afternoon.

Sega Dreamcast and Saturn Pickups

As promised, my recent Sega pickups.

Picked up the Manual for Expendable off eBay, now my copy is complete.

And, from Amazon, A factory sealed Dreamcast game. Coaster Works. It was $5.xx, I forget the exact amount. I do plan on opening it, and playing it though. Not much of a factory sealed collector, Games are meant to be played.

 Another Amazon purchase, an Action Replay Plus for the Sega Saturn. Lots more memory than the internal memory, and as a side bonus, I can now play import games on my Saturn. Time to order some Japaneese and European games we didn't get in the U.S.

 The Cartridge, see that port in the back of the Saturn is for something.

And, Installed.

Wait, is that 2 Black Sega Sports Dreamcast Controllers? Didn't I finally just get one to go with my Sports Dreamcast that didn't come with one?

Well, I was perusing Craigslist one afternoon, when I found someone selling a Sega Dreamcast Lot for $40.00. I looked at the ad, and it was the Black Sega Sports Edition, and it had the controller. I paid $40.00 for the first one I bought (See Blog HERE), and I just decided I needed a second one.

I actually wanted another one to modify. I want to remove the Sega Sports Logo from it, and replace the internal battery with a replaceable lithium ion battery. I saw an article and video on you tube, but didn't want to do it to my perfectly good working Dreamcast, just in case.

Anyway, it took a few days of things coming up, but finally the guy was out shopping near my neighborhood, and delivered it to me in the apartment complex parking lot.

And it came with a Bonus Genesis Mortal Kombat 3 Manual. I don't have that game yet, so will hold onto it in case I get a copy without. I am also selling the Fishing Rod Controller, White Controller and VMU to recoup a few bucks.

Went to hook it all up to test it out, and was going to pop in a game, and when I opened it up, Bam:

Free Bonus Game! Vigilante 8 Second Offense

Awesome, I didn't have that game on any system. It fired right up, system and game played perfectly. I tested all the controllers, etc.. Great Deal for $40.00!

UPDATE: I sold the Fishing Rod Controller for $15.00, and the White Controller and VMU for $15.00. Making this a $10.00 Deal, Not Bad!

Video Games, Toys & Controller Pickups

Xmas Presents, and other misc video game pickups incoming.

The cat is enthralled with the game stack

Lets get the Disney Infinity Figures out of the way 1st.

 Picked up Kylo Ren & Boba Fett, forgot to take pictures when I first got them in the package.

Picked this one up today, I don't even know who this is? I believe he is from the Rebels Cartoon? I have it in my Netflix queue, just haven't gotten around to watching it (and a hundred other things LoL)

I Really only got him because he had the Light up Lightsaber.

A Hot Wheels Forza Motorsport car. There were 5 different ones, I got the Ford GT, since that is the one on the cover of the Forza Motorsport 6 game. Would like to get the other 4, but at $5.50 a piece, not a necessity.

And another Power A item. (see my review of their controllers HERE)

My daughter ended up with 3 of these for Xmas, and passed one off to her daddy

On to the Games!

 The Elder Scolls Skyrim was an Xmas present from my Wife, looking forward to spending many more hours going through again. This time I started with a Bow, as opposed to a two handed weapon
I picked up The Elder Scrolls Online for myself as a Stocking Stuffer at Best Buy for $4.99 just before Xmas.

 Far Cry Primal from my Parents, and Titanfall 2 from my 5 year old.

The Gears of War 4 and Forza Horizon 3 from my Daughter and her Boyfriend.

My wifes gaming presents (which means I get to play them too)

 Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

Yoshi's New Island from my Daughter

And my Wifes Birthday is January 17th, but I had her open one of her presents today, since we spend the weekends playing Call of Duty and Minecraft together.

My wife loves Pink, and sent me a picture of this Dawn Shadow controller back in Sept.

So, I ordered it for her for her birthday. She Loves it, and I really like the black home button.

Thats it for now, I do have some Sega things I also picked up recently, just gotta get around to Pictures and such. Stay Tuned!
