Gonna raid the 3 gamestops to the south tommorrow.
For whatever reason I can now reserve more then one game per store sweet . Already have a couple waiting for me .
Found out what it is . You can only have one site to store pick up processing at a time but once it's flagged for ready to pick up you can reserve another game . Forgot they had a midnight event going on and apparently which ever clerk is on duty is blowing through my orders I'm getting ready to pick up messages within a minute or two of reserving stuff .
@ Fragems - Nice Finds! Especially the CIB PSP games, look at the beautiful cases!
I picked up a few Playstation games and one very strange PS1 controller.
PS2 Dogs Life - $5.00 BookOff
Not really a Tamagotchi as in the Petz series, a more direct control of the dog. Well, it is different.
PS2 The Suffering - $5.00 BookOff
Been wanting to check this game out, lotsa blood splatter. Oh crap, there is a part 2 to hunt for!
PS2 Tokobot Plus- $5.00 BookOff
The different modes to climb up obstacles, unique to this game.
DVD Christmas Story 20th Anniversary Special Edition- $3.95 Blowout DVD
Leg Lamp! Held off every holiday in buying this movie waiting for a crisp repress. Still waiting, at least got a nice two disc set.
DVD 12 - $5.95 Blowout DVD
The Russian version of 12 Angry Men, very interesting take on the jury pool. The study of characters; old guard russia versus free thinking very done well. Also seen the American remake which is decent. Yet to see the Japanese satire version.
PS1 Access Line Controller - $5.00 PlaynTrade
I jumped on this remembering the PS2 Trakball Concept Dual Shock. The two "sensors" appeared similar to a Logitech Marble Trakball, was envisioning a "touchpad" sort of analog controls. Turns out they are just light up indicators of vibration just like a MadCatz Force Feedback on the Dreamcast. I don't know why there is a separate digital mode, just maybe those lights are sensors? Ah well, still a novelty controller.
One of these days ...........

Stop #2 Tristate Pawn & Jewelry 4TH Avenue Huntington, WV
Not much new since my last visit but I found a few older games I couldn't pass up for their $3 flat rate. Didn't even know there was a Bruce Lee game and I somewhat remember Spartan Total Warrior looking pretty awesome when it came out.
Stop #3 Merrick Creek Gamestop Barboursville, WV
Was stoked to find another complete copy of Arc Rise of Fantasia. Was hoping Phantom Brave would have it's case as well but no luck at least it came with the bonus artwork dvd which I didn't know about though. Also picked up some other cheap RPGs.

Found another slew of RPGs. For whatever reason all the stores in my area are hiding 70-80% of their PSP and DS games behind the counter where nobody can see it let alone browse through it . Glad I checked online and stocked that Ys had it's case everything on the sales floor was in the crappy generic cases. Also excited to finally have Star Ocean Second Evolution loved First Departure. Forgot to remove Mimana: Iyar Chronicle from my shopping list so I ended up with a second copy .
The last few days I have had a itch for Gundam so when I saw the Dynasty Warriors spin off for under $10 I couldn't pass it up.

Stop #5 Best Buy Barboursville, WV
Decided to swing by while I was at the mall. Don't care much for Best Buy they are probably one of the more overpriced stores in the area but I have snagged a few deals in from clearance there before.
Games + Prices in spoiler
Create(PS3)- $4.99
Wario Ware D.I.Y.(DS)- $4.99
Let's Tap Best Buy Limited Edition(Wii)*New*- $1.99
Stop #6 Tristate Pawn & Jewelry 29th Street Huntington, WV
Almost didn't drop in there today but my brother asked me to grab a pizza right across the street so I decided to pop my head in. Found another nice set of games for $3 a piece. Been wanting the MGS Essential set for a while and the games are in perfect shape aside from the box which is pretty worn.
Those are comparable to Gamestop prices, but none of my local Gamestops have any of those games CIB.
Also, I noted that all of the marked prices on pre-owned games were way off. (Bust-a-Move Universe was marked $17.99, and Again was marked $7.99.) Apparently Best Buy does not do a great job keeping the price stickers up to date; so, if you see something you are interested in purchasing it is a good idea to do a price check. (This is especially true for DS and Wii games.)

That is one helluva great price for an excellent party game.
They have been on clearance at the store forever . Saw it online a few months back and passed it up since Best Buy is out of my way and I don't go to the mall often. Glad I found it though it's a great price for a new game and I'm a variant junky so the Best Buy Limited Edition drew me in . Was hoping the limited edition pad was foam but it looks like a paper box that you would probably use 2-3 times before crushing so I'm not gonna bother opening it .

Sometimes, you can find a diamond in the overpriced rough. We found Pokemon Black 2 (CIB) for $20 at Best Buy. Generally, we find it cart only for $30 around here

A good mail day today, a series of amazon, ebay, trades, and neg-dev team purchase:
A couple of these i'm rebuying after thinking I was done with them. Others i'm getting for the first time. Hissatsu and Nazomaikamura are the 2 i'm most excited to give some play. Hissatsu for me, a Castlevania / Taromaru -ish game and Nazomaikamura is a really interesting looking puzzle game with exceptional animations from the vids i've seen.
Also, i'll post a starter post here with more detail to follow. Myself, Blu, noiseredux, SpoonyBard and IrishNinja purchased the majority of forum member mas' collection. It was a great deal for us as we are all DC collectors and to have the opportunity to all grab things we wanted via draft was pretty cool. The collection had the majority of the best titles and we are quite pleased. I have to divide it all up yet and ship to my partners, so more pics to follow in the coming days from them and myself, i'm sure, but here is a shot of the 60lb box with a system, stick, 6 controllers, many memory cards and 130+ games.
. Already have a couple waiting for me
