:lol: That's awesome. I love finding stuff in random places. There's a 7-11 down the street from me that has a little cardboard display of budget PC titles for cheap. A few were worth having like Tomb Raider Anniversary and one of the Test Drive games.

Today was pretty good for me, two finds / stories.

The first (and smaller) story is that a few days ago while at a Cash Conveters a friend of mine bought Kid Icarus for $15AUD, got home and didnt like it, now he wants to trade it for TailSpin on the NES (Which I hate). Sweet deal!

The second is I finally join the ranks of Dreamcast owners! While meeting my girlfriend after work I went to a indy gamestore who just started taking trade in's the manager (Who is a really nice guy) was putting a Clear blue Dreamcast in the display cabinet, I asked him how much he said $100 box only, after talking to him for awhile about consoles I own, etc he said I could have it for $49, then he went to another box of stuff and pulled out three controllers, two VMU's and a power cord and two light guns, said I could have it for 70. I asked what games he had, nothing I really wanted so I passed on them, then he decided he would bundle the light guns (which were not Sega ones, mad catz ones) with House Of The Dead 2, but said he would knock 10 bucks off (Which is good for me, I hate third party stuff).

So in the end I got:
. Dreamcast Console, Clear Blue (Perfect condition, no scratches or anything)
. 3 Official Controllers (White)
. 2 VMU's (Both official, 1 Clear Blue, 1 White)
. 1 Power Cable (Easy to find but meh)

For $60AUD ($51USD)

So all I need to find is an AV cable.

Found Half Life for PS2 CIB (and in flawless shape) at GameStop for $7.

Went in looking for Indigo Prophecy (found it, but they wanted $14 for it and it had no case or book), and saw HL hiding on the shelf.

I know not many people would be terribly excited about this, but I've been wanting this forever. I suck using a keyboard and mouse for FPS games, and the Dreamcast version is a pain in the ass to play.

Today I found two free games in my Steam list of 'not installed' games. It turns out that the Meridian 4 complete pack I bought awhile ago when it was on special was updated and I got the new games added to my account: Crash Time II and Nikopol. 8)

BAH! :D

I'm just glad I found it, the people on eBay seem to want too much for it.
