$1000

[Frag Mortuus]

Under no circumstances should you pay $300 for an Xbox 360.

I won't buy one used. So, unless I could get a new one on sale, then that's what the going rate is.

$1000 doesnt go very far in gaming these days, but id probably buy a PS4 $400, and Xbox One $500, as to not miss any exclusives this gen like i did with the 360.

That would leave me with $100 for a game or 2.

On the other hand, id like to buy some retro games and round out my SNES collection, with $1000 id probably get:

Earthbound - $150
Harvest Moon - $130
Castlevania Dracula X - $130
Mega Man X2 - $80
Mega Man X3 - $150
Chrono Trigger - $90

With $270 left id like to get a Turbo Duo/PC Engine possibly.

This is all assuming the $1000 can ONLY be spent on Gaming items.

X3 and Harvest Moon have hit those prices?? Might be time to sell LOL

With $1000 I would pre order everything I want coming out this year and hopefully get a few in CE editions!

It's not tho.
You can get a new one for as low as $180!

I just looked on Amazon and you're correct, sir. They have both the Spring Bundle with Dark Siders II and Arkham City and the Holiday Bundle with Halo 4 and Tomb Raider, both for $250.

So....

Titan Fall Xbox One Bundle - $500
Dead Rising 3 - $60

Xbox 360 Holiday Value Bundle - $250
Lost Odyssey - $20
Dead Rising - $10
Blue Dragon - $10

Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze - $50 (Amazon seems to sell it for $10 less than other stores)

Retron 5 - $100

Even better haul for $1000.

You guys and your continuous non-retro gaming.

Le sigh.

I'm still not convinced you game. As far as I can determine you watch hockey and screen movies. I still haven't figured out how you ended up on this site.

That's because this site...

...IS his game.

I'd take half of it and splurge on used game shops up-through Oregon and Washington. It'd actually go pretty far with my spending habits.

One thing I'd probably overspend on is a 3DO. I really want one, lots of local shops have them boxed for $100. I'd probably buy one.

The rest of the money, I'd finish buying the game protection junk I want to get, as well as some odds and ends materials. I'm tired of stuff getting damaged, just because its sitting on a shelf :\

Man this was harder than I thought it would be o-o

For sure I would get:
Metal Slader Glory (Famicom) $170
Metal Slader Glory (SuFami) $230
Persona (PSP) $30
Raw Danger! (PS2) $20

But with the rest (~$550)... Not sure whether I would get a Saturn + bunch of import games, PS3 + games, bunch of PS1 games, or a mixture...
Either way, thinking about this really makes me wish I had this sort of money to spend ;^;

I'd probably go after the few remaining consoles I want rather than games: Vectrex, Sharp Twin Famicom, Atari 800, and some way to play MVS games...
