Even More Game Pickups!

I tell my family I am a game hoarder, and that I really could stop buying games and have plenty to play for the rest of my life. BUT, I just can't seem to stop buying new and new to me games.

After my daughter and I played Lego City Undercover on the Wii U & the Xbox One thanks to game pass She (ok I) really wanted the original that was on the Nintendo 3DS.

 Complete off eBay for $7.49 shipped
An absolutely great fun game!


And while we are on the subject of hand held games, from the Salvation Army

 Complete and in great shape
I had the favorites version of this game
so I am going to replace it with this one and sell the old to offset my cost


from Savers for $1.99

Complete and in great shape


 Complete, in good shape for 4.99 shipped off eBay
One I had been chasing after


And a few Pawn America pickups
Yes, I had removed the sticker out of habit once I got home, then I realized I hadn't taken pictures for you all before I did it, and had to peel it apart (cause I folded it over on itself) and put it back on.

 a racing game for a Quarter? Yes Please!
 Complete and in great shape for a quarter
Someone didn't like the windshield livery I guess?

Nice Price - Finally

as I was headed to the checkout, an employee commented he loved my Cradle of Filth T-shirt, 
during the whole while I was checking out we were talking about heavy metal music and bands.

And onto a great score from my favorite Salvation Army! One I didn't necessarily NEED, but wanted cause I already have two of the black ones, while I personally no longer owned a white one, so for $10.00

 Sega Dreamcast console
Missing the power cord, but I have 2 so, no biggie

Wow, what a fugly controller

Everything was taped together, controller and a/v cable to the console.
I am going to try and sell the controller for Ten Bucks, and get the console for free!

When i got home I of course had to find out if it worked

 Boot up screen, good sign

Dashboard menu

But, all my Dreamcast games are packed away, how do I test if it plays games?

Wait, it plays music CD's too! 
Popped in Alice Coopers Brutal Planet (Great CD) and it played great!
I assume if it reads and plays CD's it should play games as well, I hope.


I also picked this up, just to see if I could make a couple bucks off of it

But I am guessing I just paid $2.99 for a case.....

Some more Xbox Pickups

Got a stack of pickups to share, let's start with the Original Xbox

At the thrift store for $1.99

 World War II Road to Berlin
Complete and in good shape

An Original Xbox Exclusive, I an pretty sure I have a sealed copy of this one, but all my OG Xbox games are currently packed away in a box, so I can't check. There were two of these WW II Combat games for the Xbox, I have both, haven't tried them yet though.

And once I got Robotech Battlecry for the original Xbox, I had to get

 Robotech Invasion
Complete, Manual is a little wavy though

And on to Xbox 360 

Factory Sealed Mass Effect Pre-Order Bonus from the Thrift Store

Now I know where this bonus disc I picked up last July (Blog HERE) came from

 Test Drive Unlimited 2
From Gamestop

 SSX
A good friend from work gave me his old copy

Another game I had digitally, that I had been looking for a physical copy of .


 Dungeon Siege III
Picked up at Half Price Books Clearance for 3.00

 Family Guy Back to the Multiverse
Complete

 Ninja Gaiden II

Both these last two were from the Salvation Army, and are in Beautiful Condition!

I found this on eBay with only a default picture and little description from a Goodwill in Colorado for $5.20 shipped, Checked my Pay Pal account, and I had $5,25. I figured it was a sign.

 Split Second
It arrived in beautiful condition, with a mini guide and everything, Nice Score!


and also from eBay

 Another copy of Dirt
This also had a default picture, and was $5.00 shipped

This is one of my absolute favorite Xbox 360 games, and my favorite in the Dirt series. I had 960 gamerscore and wanted the full 1000, so figured why not,  we have 3 Xbox 360's in the house.

I also knew I could easily flip it for my five bucks back. In this condition, with manual and insert, I am gonna ask 12-15.00 shipped.


And finally a few Xbox One pickups

An older pickup I haven't shown yet.

Road Rage - it's no Road Rash.......

Car Mechanic Simulator

Ace Combat 7 Skies Unknown

Borderlands Game of the Year Edition

The physical copy of this game for Xbox One and PS4 is only available at Gamestop.
I went to pick it up (along with second copy for my daughter) brand new on sale for $14.99!


Long Live Physical Media!!!

Gamestop Game Grabs

While working on my summer of Xbox 360 Collection, I swung into GameStop twice recently, to take advantage of their "Buy 4 games for $4.99 or less and get them for $9.99".  I used my daughters fiance's rewards card to get an extra 10% off making them $9.00, or $2.25 each.



At the first stop I grabbed these:

NPPL Championship Paintball 2009 - Complete

Resident Evil 6 - Complete

Metro Last Light

I have this "digitally" from Games with Gold, but of course prefer physical copies

I really couldn't find anything else in the 360 section I needed, (complete anyway) so I wandered over to the Xbox One games and found this one.

Homefront The Revolution - Complete

Nice Price


And Gamestop #2

Diablo III 

There is no manual, but I am not sure if it had one to begin with, as my copy of Diablo III Reaper of Souls I bought new, didn't come with one.

Dead Space 2 - Complete

Another game I had a "digital" copy of


Lego City Undercover for the Wii U

I had been wanting to get this game on the Xbox One, but for $2.25, why not?

And the whole reason I went to this particular GameStop!

Mayhem 3D - complete

And as I recently advised on my blog, GameStop sells this game for $4.99 (but with the deal, I paid $2.25). I will be able to sell this online for $18-20.00.



Making the rest of the above games, Free!
