Added yet another GBA to my pile. It's a color I don't have, so that was my incentive on pulling the trigger. lol Silver GBA for $5.50 at Goodwill

After last week's success I was looking forward to a local thrift shop tour. On my last stop today I found D2 for the Dreamcast complete and in great condition for $1.95.

Was almost leaving when I saw a CD spine reading Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 for Playstation, and for some reason decided to have a peak. It didn't have a front cover and inside was Tomba! 2. Also for $1.95. The disc is fairly beat, but I brought it home and so far it has played fine in my PS2, which sometimes was touchy about reading PS1 disks.

An interesting flirtation with retail game shopping for me tonight. Let me start by saying that the only games I believe I have ever bought new are Mario Kart for the DS, Evil Dead for the PS2 and Goldeneye for the Wii. There might be a few more but I can't remember. This is mostly because I only like old games and usually don't get into current gen stuff. I have however recently been enjoying my 3DS so I thought that tonight, when I go to buy groceries, I would go to the scummy centre which includes a Target. I was not expecting to find anything at any sort of reasonable price, comparing them as I would be to second hand prices. I was dead wrong.

I found the 3DS Tekken with a whole pile of shrinking price tags on its face. Ultimate retail sale price? $14.00! Holy hell, the cheapest ebay copy was more than that! I haven't even seen the game in a pawn shop yet! Rad. I called my friend who has just aquired the 3DSXL and hooked up a copy for him too. While on the phone I found a copy of Street Fight 4 3D for $14.00 as well! I snagged that for him as well since I already have one, having bought it second hand for $15.00 with no instructions not long ago (fool I am).

So yeah, occasionally the big box retailers present one with the goods. I'll be checking every Target I see now, mostly to see if any of them are flogging off DS lites for cheap.

My night of interesting retail shopping continued too. I thought that there was no longer such thing as Vanilla Coke in a can. Once again, dead wrong. At the same shopping centre I found a vending machine with it! I had to pay $1.80 to find this out (the vending machine was not transparent) but the upside is that I can sleep well at night now (unless I drink the can before bed) knowing that it does exist.

Interesting find. I've been seeing this trend a lot as well. I've been wanting to pick up a 3DS, and then of course the announcement of the 3DS XL came. Now I'm worried that this might be a doomed console with the way prices are falling on software. I'm still gonna buy one, but I gotta time it just right to get it brand new for the least amount possible. I was holding out for a Zelda limited edition (ala the standard 3DS) but that doesn't seem in the cards. I suppose there is no harm in stockpiling some good priced games? Good find, and good looking out!
