[XBOX-PROMO] Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball 2003 Calendar has Arrived!!

Hi gamers and collectors!

Welcome back to yet another addition to my XBOX collection, and this time I have a promo item. A Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball 2003 Calendar. Just like I mentioned on my Instagram, how much I wanted this poster in 2003. I was 11 years old at the time and I just knew my Mother wouldn't let me have it lol. This Calendar is officially licensed by Tecmo and was printed and distributed by Prima, not sure how many of these sold to be honest.

As I can't really describe the item any long I'll leave it at that.

More games to come during the week, see you there!

[XBOX] Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball (Variant) has Arrived!!

Hi gamers and collectors!

Welcome back to yet another addition to my XBOX collection, here I have Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball Variant. So what makes this copy of DOA:XBV so special? Glad you asked! This copy has a variant cover, and well that's about it... I believe from memory when this game was released here in Australia we got the same cover art as the UK, with just the classification sticker over their rating - then later on we got the variant featuring 3 ladies: Hitomi, Tina and Lisa. Our classification is then printed onto the insert.

Apart from the cover, everything else is the same - I did notice however on the spine the XBOX logo is a bit smaller on the variant but nothing too exciting. So with that being said, the contents is exactly the same.

Condition of the variant was ace, apart from the manual holder at the end was broken. Nothing too major as I just replaced it with a lower value game. Manual and DVD are spotless :)

Many may say, Hex, why spend money for just different cover art? Well good question once again. I got this variant for $2, and I'm dead serious. For some reason or another the Australian copy of DOA:XBV has gone up in value within the past month, try finding a copy for $2, there's a challenge. Only ones I can find on eBay are ranging from $48 (not complete) to $68 (complete). What the hell? I dived for a UK copy for this reason, but now I own both so I'm happy.

More games to come, see you there!

Promises made, more XBOX and Nintendo 64 stuff ordered!

Hi gamers!

After the Christmas rush and boxing day, it's back on eBay for the new collection goals. As I mentioned a few moons ago I will be collecting mainly for XBOX and Nintendo 64, I know this seems like a weird pair but by far these consoles interest me the most.

So while searching through eBay I've found some games, accessories, and actually a figure found it's way into my buy list, I just keep getting geekier by the month :P. Some of them are more uncommon than others but at the moment, that's not really what I'm going for. I'm aiming towards good games that will really make nice additions to my current collection.

First off is an EXTREME Green Nintendo 64 controller, this would have to be the rarest accessory I have picked up so far. It was only sold in Toys 'R' Us. I have ordered two of these controllers as the seller was kind enough to put them into the same package for no additional costs, which was a very large opportunity as Australian sellers are selling these controllers for $120 each, boxed or not, how outrageous.
The name EXTREME Green really means extreme.. Well just look at it!

I'm quite the Dead or Alive fan, and so I'm missing Xtreme Volleyball, ordered that one too. Actually it's the best (by the photo) condition XBOX game I've ordered.
I'll be ordering more games soon, at the moment I've got orders going to all different places and I'm slowly getting confused but I'll be getting Bloodrayne 2 shortly.

Lastly the figure, I haven't actually ordered as of yet (Payment currently under transfer) but it's a promise I've told myself to keep. Morrigan from Darkstalkers is one of my favourite characters of all time very close to Samus and Kasumi. Sideshow is a pop culture figure designer for many game and anime characters, to me they seem to be very very high quality since some figures go for an amazing $500 on internet auction sites. Sideshow manage to make limited number of Morrigan figures, these figures are starting to get quite rare as I used to see quite a few of them on eBay.
I've been meaning to buy one of these figures for over 5 months now, I've just never had the money to do so after buying the Playstation 3.. oh god how that made me broke.

Anyhow I managed to find a place that has the Morrigan figure for $199 and now I have the money for it, yay! ^_^

Thought I'd give a little update, as nothing actually happened today that was that exciting. Didn't get to sleep until 6am from being in pain :< so I slept pretty much all day.. Quite excited about the next few weeks for deliveries ^^
