Got a mostly working original Gameboy with Tetris today for $10. I'm buying a Master System and a few games from a friend tomorrow for $60. Yay games!

Gamestop has been emptying out Xbox games. Shenmue 2 is like $6.

Check in store availability HERE
I work at GameStop so I know how to search the system, also I already own the Xbox port and should have indicated that I was talking about the Dreamcast version.
Terrific... also, I live in NA, where things like Shenmue 2 on Dreamcast don't compute. Sorry about that!

Anyway, I went to a swap meet this weekend and picked up Intelligent Qube for $5. And my awesome friend emptied his storage and gave me Metal Gear 1&2 for NES! I've never played them before, but they seem cool.

I spent about an hour tryin' to find a new Play n' Trade store that recently opened up near me, and finally found the basturd. They had a pretty decent retro collection, and the store owner had his own collection in a glass case for all to see. I managed to walk out with Mortal Kombat 2 and Sonic 3 for the Genesis, Street Fighter 2 and TMNT 4 for the SNES, and Double Dragon and Hogan's Alley for the NES, and Sonic Advanced 3 for the GBA for about $30, so got 7 games for less than $5 each :)

Record exchange near me, over the last few weeks I have scored about 40 PS2 games at a buck each. Some have no boxes or manuals, some of the better titles are a litlle beat but they all play and you cant beat a buck. Best find was FFX in metal box for a buck, it was missing the bonus disc, I said so what, great find for me!

I visited some friends in NY recently and stopped into a Play N Trade, after hearing how cool they were. It's just like Funcoland used to be...

It's REALLY weird to see 2600 and NES games on a store shelf again.

Yes, but the retro nerd in you squeals with glee! :D
