Oops! I did it again, Another Xbox 360 Console, MW3 Edition

 Yes, I did it again, I bought myself yet another Xbox 360 Console

Came across this on Mercari, for $46.00 Shipped.

Xbox 360 S Console, Modern Warfare 3 Edition

320 GB Hard Drive

But the big question is, Does it work?

Yep, sure does!

Even came with a Bonus Coaster!

Which doubles as a sports game

And less than 24 hours after listing, the coaster sold for $15.99!?!

After fees and shipping, leaves me with $11.00 profit on a free bonus disc!

Which means I now only have $35.00 into the Console, Nice!

It came with a standard Black 360 Controller, not the original MW3 one. 

I believe when this was new it came with 2 of them if I am not mistaken?

Yep, Looks like it did.

But you know me, I'll pick one up eventually!

Looks good with my MW2 Console

That's it for now, this will be my last post from my old place, Moving to the new place this weekend!

PS3 Game Pickups and a Most Wanted Item

When it comes to PS3 (& PS4), I only pickup the Exclusive Titles, so I don't pick many up very often.

 The last item I am going to show, is something I have been wanting for a long time. And it gave me a chance to share these other PS3 games I have picked up Semi Recently.

First up, I picked up a bonus disc for a PS3 Exclusive game. You do not see too many bonus discs for PS3 games since they use the Blu Ray Format (as opposed to Xbox 360's DVD format) But when I saw it, I knew I had to get it.

Resistance 2 Collector's Edition Bonus Disc

Will get into a double disc case with the game, when I get my PS3 collection unpacked

And speaking of double disc PS3 Game items

I picked this Sealed Blu Ray and game at Salvation army

Heavenly Sword

I put the Blu Ray art into the interior of the PS3 case since they are clear

And Game in it's new case. complete with Blu Ray

Next I think I had this, but this was a beautiful new looking copy

Motorstorm

Next, I already had all of these signally, but for taking up less space these are ideal

Infamous Collection

Infamous

Infamous 2

The God of War Saga Collection

God of War & God of War II

God of War III

Next

Dark Kingdom

And finally, an Item I have been chasing for a decent price for a bit

Killzone 3 Helghast Edition Helmet Bust

Lift off to reveal a secret compartment

With Game and Artbook for $20.00!

Can't wait to put this together in a Killzone Display

Xbox One X

 I am moving next week, and as I was laying out the house arrangement in my head, I realized I needed (ok wanted) another Xbox One. One in the Living Room (One X), One in my Bedroom (Original) and one in my daughters room (One S)

I have my Original Xbox One Forza Motorsport 6 Edition I bought new (Blog Here), My daughters  Xbox One S I bought Last Year (Blog Here) for $30.00, but I realized I needed another for the bedroom, so naturally I decided I might as well finally buy myself an X Xbox One X. 

I now inadvertently have got all 3 models of the Xbox One.

I don't count the Digital only edition, cause PHYSICAL MEDIA FOR LIFE!!!!

Picked up a boxed Console from Pawn America for $325.00

The console itself seems heavier than my original Xbox One, but is definitely smaller overall

As advertised it looks amazing, even on my NON 4K TV.

Tetris Effect really is a beautiful visual game, musically as well, but I generally am listening to my own music choices when I play (as of late alot of Five Finger Death Punch), it is just one of those games that for me, I can get lost in, forget my problems, concerns, etc.. and just have fun for a few hours.

Now I really want a 4K TV....... 

Guess that 84 Inch one I saw at Best Buy might have to find it's way into my new living room?

I also picked up a new Controller from Best Buy, while this style was still available

$59.99

Nice Gray/Blue Combo

The new Series S/X Controllers, while compatible with the Xbox Ones, just look weird to me

Personally I still think the 360 had the best, most comfortable controller. Microsoft should just keep/use  that mold, and fit all the new guts of their new controllers into them, but that is just me.

Some Playstation 2 Pickups

 Before we head back to Xbox 360 collecting land, I have picked up a few more things for my PS2 collection

First up I  was able to pick up a few Racing games for my Japanese PS2 Console

Gran Turismo Concept 2001 Tokyo

Complete

There is also a 2nd one, 2002 Tokyo - Geneva that I still need to acquire

and

Gran Turismo 4 "Prologue"

With a Making Of Bonus Disc!

Speaking of Bonus Discs.............

A game I already have but...........

Resident Evil 4

Also with a Making of Bonus Disc!

Also picked up a pretty cool Demo Disc for a Great Game

Killzone

Going to add it to the Killzone display I am going to make, when I get my game space set up

Backwards Compatible PS3 for $15.00!

 I was out at one of the Salvation Army thrift stores I frequent the other day, and I saw this sitting on the shelf behind the counter with the glass cases. I of course could not see the price, which meant I had to try and interact with someone just to see if I was even interested. This particular location has been severely understaffed my last couple of visits, and can be a wait if you want to see something not out.

But since I could see that it had 4 USB ports, I figured it was worth looking at

and I am glad I did

$14.99 YES Please!

It came with a wired Gamestop controller and Power Cord as well

Now to my understanding, if an original "Fat" PS3 has the 4 USB ports and this flap for other memory options, it is a pretty safe bet that it is a PS2 Backwards compatible model.

and the final verifier

Yep, PS2 Compatibility Verified

Good overall shape too

Also has 60GB Hard Drive, which is the original size for this unit

The light comes on, let's see if it works. Good Sign so far

let's pick a profile

Here are the Playstation and Playstation 2 settings!

Even came with a Bonus Coaster, Er, Um Game.

Plays just fine!

Gran Turismo 4 Looks Great

This is a great score. Now I can play PS2 games in Upscaled HD, Awesome!

Great Score!!

Update, I ended up selling the Game and Gamestop Controller seperately for $18.00 or so after fees and shipping. So I got a Working Backwards Compatable PS3 and made $3.00
