3DS XL with about 15 games. Not that I don't like the system. It's really cool and has a great library so far. But in the end I just thought to myself "Damnit. This wasn't worth it"
Going through deleting inactive accounts of mine as a security precaution. No hard feelings, but admins, if it is possible to delete this account, please do so. Thanks in advance!

Actually, It costs $25 now.
really? Is it still easy to find? I loved the game, and wouldn't mind displaying that statue!

@Bone: I thought you liked your NGX?
It's about to be on sale at Amazon in about 8 hrs. They'll probably only drop $5 though. Think of it as free shipping.

Probably going to pick it up then :). Glad I noticed the sale or I would have picked it up already :). Would be amazing if it hit $15 but I feel it will probably be $20. However you never know I'm still amazed that Death Smiles Collector's edition is still only $13 with free shipping.

Probably the worst 2 impulse buys I have ever fallen victim to was buying a 3do and a cib Master System. I have not even touched the 3do but a couple times but I have actually been showing love to my Master System lately
I am buying all Saturn games, PM me with your offerings and I will let you know if I need the game or not! (Everything must be CIB)

Currently trying to knock off all the sports games, would like to get them <$5 each! Of course if you would like to donate them I will gladly pay the shipping! :)

Shh, that opinion can get you killed around these parts. For some people on here, consoles must be purchased at launch no matter what. Just grin, say these 8th-gen consoles are awesome, and just go along quietly playing your older stuff.
Lol, it's so true.

TBH, that's pretty much the only reason I bought it. The game was just a bonus to me. :P For some reason it didn't sell very well yesterday. Only 13% was claimed.
