Yesterday I Bought (a bad pun) for 3!

That's just the psychic monitoring, gets put in when you sign up. Even PhoenixAsh has that.

The local game shop posted last night about a big haul of some decent OG Xbox games, I got these plus the other two games from trading in my WonderSwan


I did get the controller from CEX as my OG Xbox doesn't have a controller, it was £10 which I thought was expensive for plain black but from looking at eBay it isn't.

They did have some other good games like Street Fighter Anniversary, SvC, Metal Slug and something called Memorick which I've never seen but not sure I want to be spending £10+ on OG Xbox games that aren't things like Shenmue or Ninja Gaiden Black.

I also left some lesser titles that are still good like Phantom Crash but how many do you get and spend? I was annoyed though that I missed out on the two Buffy games, which some bought last night via the post as those games are great.  

Since my last post of plush Eevee and this one I've also picked up


Along with Everybody's Golf VR on PSVR and Metal Gear Solid 2 for OG Xbox

Mas has finally got bored of buying new XBox Ones and is instead buying new XBox ones.

I would have bought the purple Xbox One if it was a X but it was S.

Jay might like this one


Boot Sale pick up with Balla's fav Wii game


I don't talk about or think about the Wii U for ages, then it comes into mind and the local game shop and cex both have Wii U's traded in with loads of games, like the most seen since launch


Picked up some of the cheaper ones and stuff I didn't ever finish like Captain Toad, one slight issue with the top 4, the game shop forgot to put the discs in, so I got to find time to go back

"Adrian Tepes" threw me for a moment.

I'm not a fan of most Funkos - the soulless dark eyes don't do much for me - but I like the look of the Dracula Funko. The solid red eyes work well for that one.

Blue Fangs is cute.

Few things since my last post

Wolfenstein VR for PSVR, Fire Emblem Three Houses for Switch

Disney Infinity 1.0, Star Fox Guard, Batman: Arkham City Armoured Edition, Splatoon (still loads playing and I might prefer it to 2), ZombiU, Devil's Third all for Wii U after I traded in two DC prints and took back a controller to CEX

XBlaze Code: Embryo for VITA

Amélie, Shin Godzilla on Blu Ray and Spider-Man Homecoming on 4K

And a book that Andy recommended, which I've still not started as I've been playing Fire Emblem

At the weekend when I went to my grandparents and later to the local boot sale, my dad bought at the boot sale an Xbox 360 Elite with two controllers and a few games (Old FIFA's etc) for £12.

Now it does work but only if you eject the disc tray which will it turn on and then to turn it off you have to do it from the dashboard. Now no shop is going to take it in and as I own zero Xbox 360 games that aren't backwards compatible, I decided I would keep this Elite and sell my Slim, as it will do me if I do ever buy a 360 game that isn't backwards compatible or I decide to play Halo system link.

I also had a 2DS, I bought for £15 and some action figures I bought for £10 to sell and that was my plan to sell the 360, 2DS, FIFA's & figures to the local game shop or CEX.

Plans changed as the game shop had already spent a lot this morning after putting out a post about needing Xbox One games, that they could only offer me trade-in which was fine for the figures as CEX wouldn't take them and then I would just go CEX and get cash for the 2DS & 360.

Now I start looking around for what I can get for £16 (what I got trade-in for the figures) when I spotted


Persona 3 FES was marked up at £85, which is a lot of money, anyway I asked what I would get trade-in for the 2DS and Slim Xbox 360 as the game shop didn't want me taking them to CEX, they gave me the same as what CEX would give in trade meaning they gave me more for my Slim Xbox 360 (£68) then what they were selling a Slim Xbox 360 (£40) for, just to stop me taking to CEX as I was still tempted by the cash instead.

Meaning I actually I had credit leftover and I got


It was that or Bloodstained on Xbox One that really caught my eye and I've got a lot to play on Xbox One, so why not pick up a Switch game.

Yeah so I only got two games for a 2DS, Xbox 360, FIFA's and some figures but I did only pay £60 for those (Remember I paid £35 for the Slim Xbox 360 in GAME during last gen clear out) that you could look at as £30 each game and not the £125 (doubled my money) they actually came to, Ohh and I've still got the Xbox 360 Elite.

As I posted in the last retro game you played thread last and that was only yesterday, I'll mention Persona 3 FES here and from what I did play seemed decent. I have to say after playing some Fire Emblem Path of Radiance, P3FES seems way newer even though it's only a year newer as it looks better, full voice acting, anime cutscenes look great (the CGI in PoR doesn't look bad) and had me thinking about sitting down to play, where Fire Emblem has gone back on the shelf.

I'm going to play the PSN download of Persona 3 FES on PS3 to keep the PS2 disc safe, now after making sure the game worked.

There's not a huge amount of difference between P3 FES and the original version of P4 from what I'd played of them at least. It still holds up, absolutely. Most RPGs do, to be fair.

I've played more today and does seem a lot like P4 that I'm playing it as my main game with Civ VI on the side.

P4 pretty much used the same engine as P3, from what I know of it.

I think they might have only been like a year apart.

Even though I'm enjoying the game so far on PS3, I would have loved a PS2 classic version on PS4 or better yet some sort definitive remaster, especially seeing how well 5 sold.

Why not capitalise

The main difference in P3FES and P4 is the ability to directly control the party in the latter while having to issue tactics in the former (MARIN KARIN!).  Maybe someday I'll revisit P3 with the PSN version of FES.

A good one that.  One of Sanderson's rougher novels (it was his first after all), but in all honesty I probably enjoyed it more than the ones considered better by others (Mistborn trilogy I'm looking at you).  Hrathen = MVP.  

Oh, yeah, finally bought Fire Emblem Three Houses.  Had to go digital because, as per usual, being an Australian gamer means if the game's not a super AAA thing from a big publisher and you don't preorder good luck finding a physical copy in store, even a day after release.     On the flip side the digital copy cost the same anyway, yay prices being s*** in Australia has perks?

Oh, but of course while not a single store in Adelaide has it in stock of course the rural town over 350 kilometres away where I used to live does have a copy in stock.

Nice. Didn't fancy the commute?

I believe it was sold physical in the USA and here in the UK as again Nintendo underestimated demand.

Still I've AUS prices and I think I've said it before, that's maybe the one region (maybe middle east) where I would buy from another due to costs.

Fun isn't something one considers when balancing the household budget, but this does put a smile on my face.

Few things since my last stuff I bought post like Control which I've since finished and sold on eBay, then some digital things like Man of Medan but thought Balla might like this one



Because it comes with

The bottom picture loaded in first for me so I thought you'd bought a plush of that new sheep Pokémon.

Some birthday presents for myself.

Sheep's cute, in an eerie way. I'm trying to work out if the Fentiman's Cola counts among the presents.
