Final Fantasy VII Greatest Hits

Always good to be the person everyone knows who is into 'a bunch of old stuff'. I've gotten a free PS2 and CDX this way as well as a few random games for fixing stuff for people.

Got these about a week ago, forgot to post them:

Both from Play-N-Trade, $10

XBox High Def AV Pack http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/773/xboxc.png

MakenX for the DC, disc only, I whipped up a pretty sweet cover deal w/ the Cover Project and Paint http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/284/makenx.png

edit:

And I JUSt got my replacement copy of Tenchu: Stealth Assassins (PS1)... I ordered one a couple weeks ago and it was notably not as "acceptable" as described so I returned it and got my new one from someone else (all Ebay action) and the new one is niCE. 10ish dollars, I don't remember exactly.

Picked up

Gundam Lost War Chronicles PS2

29 dollars shipped on ebay, but the best part was its from a U.S seller, so I didn't have to deal with EMS shipping prices.

If the box is in good shape, I like that buy a lot. Wave Race 64 is one of my fav games all time and I'm still hunting a minty boxed copy. I've got to have had 50 loose copies over the years, but sold my original boxed and never came across another one to my liking.

Going to have to return XD though. I got a disc read error about 10 minutes into testing, and looking at the disc, it appears to be suffering from some rot.
