I am not meaning to single you out TheClassicVideoGame, but this is the kind of thing I am talking about that annoys me about what this thread has become. You spent $6.50 on a Players Choice copy of Luigi's Mansion. Looking at eBay closed options, it regularly closes for $7-$15 shipped for "black label" copies, including a few with guides. It is $15 @ Gamestop, which means it can be had for essentially $10ish in a B2G1 sale.

I just don't see this kind of thing as a "find". If others do, fine, but would anyone really object to creating a new thread for showcasing impressive finds, the kind of thing that this thread used to specialize in but now only pops up from time to time?
That's because this forum has grown and changed. It'd be impossible to have this thread be like it once was because the dynamics here are different now. What you want is like one of those people in a relationship that says "Why can't everything just be like it was before?"

what he said is the truth. this thread and the whole forum has evolved. and to expect any change not to happen in nearly 3 years since post one is crazy.

but enough of this arguing, let's read some finds! no matter how awesome or lame they are!!! i do like visuals though.

Yeah, more pictures would be nice... ^^

I do think it's time to add the option to the site to play videos too without having to watch them in a second page.

I surely would have added a little clip of Skullmonkeys to my post.

Just a thought...
