I got this CIB for 19 dollars shipped. I know most people hate it, but I am really enjoying it, especially for the price.

Sealed, 13 dollars shipped. And there starts my Working Designs collection... Goodbye money!

Sweet. From what I understand, it's got a Virtua Tennis like vibe to it, and even a World Tour mode. I've got both of those on the DC -- maybe you should check those out on your "vs. DC" series.

Sure it's lacking the simulation, but it's still a game that doesn't deserve all the hate it gets, once you get past the different control scheme. Good price too.

This isn't really a game purchase, but I did acquire six XBOX manuals and one PS2 manual from BRE Software yesterday. They were very reasonably priced - even for rarer games like Call of Cthulu and Fatal Frame II - and they are all in mint condition.

In any event, all of XBOX games are now complete and only three of my PS2 games are missing their manuals. (The games are Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Valkyrie Profile 2, and War of the Monsters...if you have a spare manual for any of these games, please send me a PM!) Completing all of the games in my XBOX collection is a small collecting milestone for me, and I am very happy to have acheived it.

They had a boxed Telstar Pong console at the Exchange today. I asked about it - the woman working there wouldn't let me buy it! I think she wants to throw it up on eBay.

I'm gonna go back when "that guy" (you know who I mean) is working. I can usually haggle with him.

I know what you mean. :lol: I am confident he will sell it to you, but you may have to suffer some verbal abuse first! Good luck!

I really think Beach Spikers is my favorite beach volleyball game. And for some strange reason, I've always been a fan of those haha.
