Did you not already have a Pro Controller, Drunka?

Yeah but I accidentally left it in the uk and my mum refused to post it because you're not meant to put that kind of battery in the mail and she's a nerd.

I've now got all the Final Fantasy games on PSP but I was actually looking for The 3rd Birthday when I came across Dissidia.

5 Minutes came today, which I now believe to be the last "proper" European VITA game as I feel we would have heard if something else was coming this year due to cart orders having to be in by now for the west.

A few things before this post like Rayman, LEGO Batman on VITA but nothing that interesting part from maybe Devil May Cry 5 on Xbox One.

Oh really? Is it a bomb threat thing or what?

I got Rollercoaster Tycoon Adventures for £24 at Argos, and Mario Party: The Top 100 for £11ish from an Amazon seller.

I picked up those two NGamer books from a Shelter charity shop in Edinburgh. That Virtual Console guide is really critical of Pokemon Snap on the N64, for some mad reason.

I also punted Sushi Striker, GRIP and SNK Heroines to get £50 of eShop credit - I've downloaded Raging Justice and Rogue Aces so far.

Who sold only part 2 of the A-Z? How will you know how they felt about Goldeneye?

Were those not given away as freebies with the magazine?

Even the greatest bargain hunters make mistakes.

Maybe somebody could put that question to Greener, or Kittsy, or that beardy guy who used to do the art and stick a LEGO game on the front cover every two months...?

Aye, NGamer gave away those books throughout 2008/2009. They gave away DVDs in the earlier issues, and then gave away a load of broken old shite in the latter years.

I'm up for getting Sushi Striker again someday, but I'd be wanting it on 3DS. I thought that it felt second-rate on Switch, both in it's presentation and in it's controls.

I suppose that's fair: it was a 3DS game originally, after all.

How dare you? That stuff was WORTH SEVEN POUNDS

How dare you? I suffered a dislocated elbow and a ruptured Achilles after trying to use that ice cube tray.

It's a 2 year old sports game but 49p is a fricking steal, I could sell the game alone for £2 if I wanted but tempted to keep it and make GNW.

That reminds me I should buy the FPW fire promoter dlc now that it's out.

I was rummaging around the PS4 games in GAME the other day, looking for bargains, but that's a lot more impressive than anything I could find. Nicely done.

Imagine paying £35 for a 3DS game in 2019...! (In my defence, I punted two unwanted Switch games and was getting an extra 25% in credit if I spent a voucher there and then. This was all they had that was of interest, so...)

I timed it well I think, it's been sat in their cabinet for weeks and only just went down on the day and working early I managed to pop in within an hour of opening. To put the luck in to context I had the special edition on pre order back in the day for about £80 and passed on it, worth the wait.

To counter your defence of getting Epic Yarn, you could have waited a few days and got Yoshi.

I came to that same conclusion too, and I traded Extra Epic Yarn in for a full refund.

I also had a swatch at old PS4 games. I was going to get WWE 2K18 WrestleMania Edition for 99p, but they couldn't find the disc. I got this though.



Odin Sphere Leifthrasir - Storybook Edition, which comes with a PS4 game, a metal case, a t-shirt, an artbook and all sorts of other stuff, down to £2.99. I have no idea why I bought this.

I have heard great things about Odin Sphere, none of which I would imagine you liked. That said, might be worth giving it a shot: I think it's as much action game as it is RPG. Certainly the action was the best part of Muramasa, done by the same people.

I hope that you're going to wear your new Odin Sphere t-shirt with pride wherever you go.

I'm so excited to play *checks notes* Odin Sphere.

It was clearly an Anime tiddies kind of night.

Every night is... er... I mean... (sidles off awkwardly)

You can always sell it on, Cex will give you £14 cash.

I'll keep it wrapped up, sell it in the future, and sit with my dick in my hand and wait for Yoshi's Crafted World.

A random lot.

Yoshi's Crafted World came through the post, the two Game Boy games were bought in CEX for £1.50 combined, and WWE SmackDown Vs. Raw 2009 set me back a whopping 10p. I was really happy to get Frogger on the PSOne too - I enjoyed that a lot twenty years ago, but never bought it.

GAME have got a '2 for £30' deal on some of their 3DS games. Miitopia looked different. But all my life I've been waiting to play Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked...it's actually trade-in fodder, looks like I got it for very cheap

Much as GAME can seem overpriced, I do like it with the likes of SMT they don't treat as a rare game or anything like CEX or on eBay would, it's just finding the odd game.

Since my last post, I bought LittleBigPlanet on PS3, Tomb Raider Underworld and Hunted on 360 for £1. The Divison 2 on Xbox One which has turned out to be a great buy and Sekiro which I paid £44 and have sold for £45 plus ShopTo are sending me a £5 voucher as it was a day late.
