Midweek Game Hunt Report! Each game was $2 :O

Hi gamers!

Last night I reported about a random game hunt which I usually do on weekends however the weather at the moment has been so god damn hot I took the opportunity to go out today (it was tolerable). As usual my friend An!NE tagged along, we went to a second hand store that was 20 minutes away nothing too special there I picked up a Logitech XBOX Controller ($3) (missing breakaway cable/Broken right trigger) and An!NE bough R-Type on Playstation 2 ($4) and Gran Turismo for Playstation ($3).

We jumped on the bus and travelled a further 15 minutes West and arrived at a local mall, as I've mention a few times already EB Games have been getting rid of Playstation 2 games and many of them are $4 each. An!NE again bought more games Super Bust-a-move, Half-Life and SSX all were $4. As we were leaving EB I mentioned I'm still empty handed and looks like I'll be going home that way, further up the mall there is another store JB they also have pre-owned games usually they're in big boxes and you have to flick the cases to see what they are it's such a pain in the ass, as I was looking through them I found was Fable looked a little harder on the price and it was $2, in fact every game you'll see below that was for XBOX was $2 so I bought every game they had in the box, of course ignoring all the sport titles.. yucky ^_^.
I do have one complaint how ever.. Why were most of the games covered in packing tape? Why were there so many pre-owned stickers inside and out? Why were some discs in the case and some were not.. Why what why!? ><"
I forgot to mention it took 20 minutes for the staff to find all the games.. ROFL.

Too much glare? The Playstation 3 game in the big box is Warhawk and the Playstation 2 game is R-Type. Sorry about the glare -_-

One of the staff has humour! ROFL

Another game hunt tomorrow!

Hi gamers and readers alike!

I thought I'd share about a trip I plan to do tomorrow cause finally it's not over 30 degrees, as I've mentioned a few times in various entries that there are not really any retro gaming stores other than a chain of Gametraders stores, so I'll be searching Melbourne tomorrow for second hand stores that happen to have a few retro items, I'll try to get some video footage if I find interesting stores. I'll be revisiting a few stores I've already been to as it's been a few months within that time there has to be some "new" stuff there but that all depends..

There are quite a few second-hand stores in town, just not all of them take electronics so that's going to limit where I can go. -_- I hope something I've ordered arrives as well ^_^

Game Hunting Weekend - The Report

Hi gamers!

Today An!NE and I went into the city to find more games, we aim to do this every 2nd or 3rd week each month just to see what's new and hopefully find something interesting. We happened to find a HANIMEX pong console complete with the light gun and box, I didn't happen to buy it cause it was insanely over priced. They happen to look like this:

The Angry Video Game Nerd happen to review one of these, very compact for the time I must mention.
Anyhow, we went on looking and found a bin full of Playstation 2 games and guess what? Dead or Alive 2 was there, yeah AFTER I win a bid on eBay one just pops up.. My luck.
There were quite a few XBOX games a whole shelf full, and nothing really worth mention apart from the two consoles they had there. One was $70 and the other was $50, there was also a Playstation and Playstation 2.. fairly priced and around the usual price range for them $25 for the Playstation and Playstation 2 was $50.

When it came to accessories, the prices were great genuine controllers went from the $10 mark to the $20.

So what did I actually buy? Well I bought 1 game from EB on the way to the train station, King Of Fighters XII for XBOX 360
EB are currently clearing out last year's releases for around $13-$18 and the more recent games from last year are $27. If you're on the look out for Playstation 2 games, I suggest you jump in quite a few games were $3-$10. Most games however were either Platinum/No Cover, but some were complete.

That's it for me, I'll make another post soon. Thanks for reading ^^
