New to Grandia series.

Picked up Grandia II (9.99, free shipping) and Grandia III (6.50 discs only, $1 shipping) off Ebay from non-commercial sellers.

$17.49 total cost for II and III = not a bad way to get introduced to the series!

Big fan of small sellers who price fairly.

I work at a place that recycles electronics. Today, someone came in with a boxed NES action set, a boxed advantage controller, and a bag of about 12 games, without the boxes, but they had the manuals for almost all of them. She just brought them up and said "I don't want these anymore. Do something with them." and left. My company is REALLY strict on what can be done with stuff like this, but since they were never officially recycled, we had to call a district manager. It is now considered a "store gift" and is to be used in our break room. I asked my manager if I could take the boxes and manuals. He said I could, so tomorrow when I come back in, I get a free NES action set, and an advantage controller boxes for free, as well as some manuals. I guess that counts as something.

Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

What exactly is that thing? It looks pretty strange to me, is it for a compute?
