Had a really long day of thrifting, went to about 10 stores, here is what I got, each from a different store.

Image

Band of Brothers Blu Ray (In AMAZING condition) - $13
Diablo (Big Box) - $2
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford DVD - $1

I have BOB on DVD but how could I not get it for $13, there were a few other decent DVD's but in not the best condition, I only buy second hand DVD's (and now BR I guess) if they are in 9/10 kind of shape.

Visited some of my local thrift stores, found some goodies.

Image

Gran Turismo $2

Pixar's Bugs Life $2

Image

South Park $1

F-1 World Grand Pix $1

They're very common games but I liked that they all came with their original box and manuals, one of the N64 games came with a Free Super Mario 64 players guide coupon, I wonder if that still redeemable LOL.

So how does it work - do you just go in there with the saved files on a CD-R and ask them to print them out for you, or are you able to do it yourself on a PC printer? I'm a total noob when it comes to this stuff :?

I just print mine on photo paper using Undercover XP.
look into getting brochure paper instead. not as "thick" but still has that high quality look, and it's also a boatload cheaper.

Great finds everybody.. Today at a garage sell I picked up metal gear solid for the ps1 (complete) as well....for 25 cents lol greatest hits version though. Activision classics for 50 cents (no clue why it was a quarter more).
So as I am leaving this garage sell I noticed a box that said free items written on the front..I walked up and looked around and at the bottom I saw this old handheld system made by bandai...called packri monster? I havent done any research on it yet. It was in the box but the box is jacked up to no end and it had a few pages of the instruction manual. Only draw back is as I got home to see if it worked the batteries had been in there so long, they leaked some acid..not to much and I noticed that the batteries will not stay in ..maybe some paperclips to reinforce the battery prongs idk?

Also got castlevania 64 and ff mystic quest for 6 bucks and some change at that smuck of a pawn shop where I got the unlicensed nes games
They have 22 boxed complete nes games in quite good condition as well. I asked what they would have to take for them and they said 3 a piece but I figure I am just gonna let them sit there and try to get them for in between 40-50 $ unfortunately I didnt write down the games.

PS2 Logitech Keyboard Duel Shock - $25.00 Shipped

When I saw this posted by FiftyDollarCurse, my jaw dropped.

LogiTech Netplay Keyboard Controller for PS2 that they gave me for free. They have a couple milk crates of crappy 3rd party controllers, I think they were thrilled to get rid of this bulky one.
I've seen these before, never got around to buying one till now. Even though a USB keyboard is used on just few PS2 games, I had to have it. FiftyDollarCurse sold it to me shipped for twenty five bucks. Its not even the ideal keyboard for FPS games that utilize a mouse and keyboard. A disappointment that Action Replay and HDAvance/HDLoader do not use a USB keyboard for entering names and codes. But it is so freeken cool to own this strange controller. I always liked large controllers, now have a HUUUGE Dual Shock. :mrgreen:

Image

The controller has a regular PS2 controller connector and the keyboard has a USB plug. The keyboard is detachable and is also Mac and PC compatible. It has a Function mode for the built in number pad just like most laptops. There is a vibration on off button above the left analog stick. I was curious how the sticks compared to a regular Duel Shock so I tried it on Ape Escape. Moving and catching the monkeys is just as accurate as any PS2 Analog stick. A nice click on the R3 and L3 Stick Buttons. Even though the thumb sticks are non rubber coated plastic, the dished in centers work very well, just like the PSX Duel Analog and Barracuda sticks.

This Keyboard reminds me of a Pinball attachment for a PC keyboard I have seen before.

An insane mod
Okay, this is crazy talk. I am thinking of the Wii U controller with that portable LCD touch screen. What if I did this to the Logitech Controller? Pop the keyboard off and pop in a LCD screen? Go real nuts and incorporate a netbook touch screen with a PS2 controller adaptor! :D

Where is Bacteria !? :?

Logitech Keyboard Duel Shock with two other large controllers. Nyco iType 2 with a mini USB keyboard, note the sanding fix in the housing on the left stick to allow full movement. The grey Interact Barracuda has a unique feature of enabling the sticks to operate older non Duel Shock PS1 gamepad only games. 8)

Where do you live? I'd kill for a find like that. If any collector of any sort was offered 22 boxed complete games for $3 a piece, there's a high chance that they would buy just about all of them, save a few common titles.

I recommend that if you really want them, don't wait.

Or I will find this store and buy them myself.
