Yesterday I Bought

Just had these delivered.



Tetris Party Deluxe is quite good at £2.18 all-in, but it's the one on the top that I'm most chuffed at - only eleven bloody quid! I've not seen it with box and instructions for under £30 before.

Just got a iPad 3 and now have to spend a while putting stuff on it

Bought A Link to the Past on the Wii Virtual Console yesterday following the advice of several forumites. Figure I'll play through it (a classic that's about the same age as me, blimey) and then I can justify buying A Link Between Worlds.

Wouldn't a tray have been cheaper?

But a tray isn't as interactive unless you want to hit someone with it

I think he was referring to the you "putting stuff on it" part.

Nice find with Starfox Assault, TCK! I think i paid £15 for it about 3 years ago. Bargain.  

After not buying anything for far too long I have rectified this horrible distortion of reality by continuing collecting ultimate spider-man.




As of this volume I only have four peter parker volumes left to buy, the last two in the series and two in the middle that I've yet to buy. Then it'll be time to start the miles morales part of the series.

Honestly Miles run starts of rather slow

On Saturday (I know, I know) I got a copy of Pokémon Black for my girlfriend. She started to play it later that day and spotted that it was Pokémon White - the guy in GAME (the deputy manager, no less) had put White in by accident. Yesterday - yes! - I went to swap them back. Fuss was expected, but there was none; they swapped it then and there. Her team of Snivy, Patrat and Lillipup is back in place. 

My pickups from the last few weeks:



Still hoovering up those PS2 rpg's  

I finally rounded out my valkyrie profile 2 ost's with the arrange album which from the taste I've had sounds like it'll be delightful, and snagged myself the vp1 arrange while I was at it because why not?








Soon the reason my purchases have been small fry and of non-game variety for a while shall become clear... Soon...  

2grundies: I've heard that Fallout PS2 game is pretty horrid. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Suikoden super expensive? Or is it an earlier Suikoden?

Yeah, i've heard Fallout is pretty bad...so is Evergrace...lol, but i'm aiming to collect all the english speaking rpg's on the system. Why? Because i like them....i know i'll never play them all, but hey ho, at least i'll have the choice! There's approximately 150 including ntsc-u titles and i'm about two thirds the way there  

Suikoden 2 (PS1) is the rarest of the bunch, although the first one commands a high price too. I picked it up a few years ago at a carboot for £1.66, but sold it on, as i got an offer i couldn't refuse.

The PS2 games are also fairly costly, but nothing i wasn't expecting. As it happens that Suikoden 3 is the last one i needed, so a nice little milestone completed 

@Athrun888, nice OST's there. Do you collect them or you just a huge fan of the VP games? I've picked up a few rpg ost's but more by accident than design. There's some bloody good tunes in rpg's!

It's a combination of the two, compared to the more hardcore collectors it's rather small but it's still larger than just having a passing fancy you could say.  I've got 37 game soundtracks in total (39 once those two arrive), although given the penchant for splitting stuff over several releases the number of games represented is a bit smaller.  Five of them are the blazblue series soundtracks, two of them are the valkyrie profile 2 ost which was split over two volumes, and a bunch of them are arranged soundtracks (which are awesome!)

And agreed about rpg music, it's awesome!  

@Grundies does the online games there still work.

I can't think of many expensive PS2 games apart from those HACK ones, compared to let's the GameCube with quite a few titles around the £40 mark.

Not sure. They'd be running on private servers if they still work at all. If there's enough of a fanbase out there, they'll be running somewhere. I'd need to invest in a hdd to get it all working correctly. I bought them purely for completion's sake. Same with FFXI.

As for the PS2 rpg's there's loads of expensive titles out there. By expensive i'm saying £20+ titles. I own all the PAL .hack games (Infection/Mutation/Outbreak/Quarantine) but there's still the ntsc .hack GU titles which are going to be hideously expensive to import  

been watching this lot for a while as an example:

been tempted a couple of times now but not bit the bullet yet.

Still, all good fun!  

That doesn't seem to bad a price, for those seeing what they are as, I've paid £90 just for evolution 2 on DC to me that's expensive for a game.

I've never seen anything about private servers for the PS2 or X-Box unlike the GameCube and Dreamcast which I know PS:O still has fan's playing.

ah, that's really cool. Sounds like a decent collection to me!    I've only got about four or five, but like i said, i acquired them with other stuff rather than actively seek them out.

By the time you add import taxes it mounts up. I try not to pay outrageous prices but sometimes it can't be helped! Evo 2 was always gonna be expensive mate  

Yeah and I've never played it. It's also missing the manual which is annoying but at the time mint ones were up near £120, there isn't much else on DC front that is going to cost me that sort of money apart from Samba de Amigo which of course comes with the maracas and some of the jap games looking at you Border Down.

Nintendo Pocket Football Club. Come on Trees FC! 

I bought today from Cappa's recommendation and DLC levels.
