I sure hope someone rewound that Digimon disc. Nothing more annoying than bringing home something new and having to wait while it rewinds the first time you try to use it.

Had a decent haul yesterday.
Started off at half price clearance all $2 each
Dragonball z battle 22 PS1 missing manual
Shrek 2 GCN missing manual (I am trying to get a lot of kid friendly gamecube games)
Ratchet and Clank PS2 GH CIB
FF XII PS2 CIB

Then went to a yard sale near there and got
FF XIII PS3 (glad I found this cheap cause my wife has wanted to play this and we have no ps3 games she wants to play) and Mario Galaxy CIB for $10 total talked down from $15. Gonna hit it up today near the end to clear them out if they still have any games.

I love it! Did you see the review linked in my previous Reply? It won't rattle the windows but you can definitely feel it rumble. Combined with the soundsticks which each have four speakers it has a good surround affect. You can't pinpoint exactly where the sound is coming from, yet still get great stereo separation.

@ Fragems - Nice Finds! I see some Xbox games that might be interesting!

I know, right :lol: I shook my head when I saw that. Obviously it was one of those "just put label on everything we own" type of rental store.

Honestly, though, it's the giant circular sticker on the disk that bothers me the most. I know it's not hurting it, but it looks like someone tried to peel it off and gave up. I'm just hoping it didn't damage the disk in some way and it doesn't interfere with the games playback at some point.

I had no idea what Hobie was talking about until I read your Reply. :lol:

That sticker seems to indicate how long they had the discs as a rental, the owner probably never played a DVD movie. Nice find getting three volumes of Digimon World, didn't even know there was more then one.

That peel bubble does look scary on the disc shield, the silver under that glue looks intact though. Fingers crossed, good luck!

Blockbuster slapped the "be kind rewind" stickers on everything back in the day.

I've been looking to get back a Wii for a while as an emulator machine plus I want to start collecting the games as the prices drop so I snagged this off ebay. Not a massive deal but I thought it was decent compared to others I've seen sell.

Good buy. It is a great time to be buying Wii games. If you check Gamestop, you can find dozens of grea games for $5 or less. (I picked up Octomania this past weekend for $1, and I noticed the Link's Crossbow Training - which is a very solid gallery shooter - has dropped to a mere $0.50...Awesome!)
