Instead of having several topics where we post what we bought, I figured it'd be best to put everyting in one topic O: How ingenious of myself.


Anyway, today I bought a hella lotta games. Well, maybe that's exaggerating a bit, but it's a good amount anyway:

DS:
Project Rub; €25,-
Kirby Power Paintbrush; €25,-

GBA:
Final Fantasy IV; €25,-
DK King of Swing; €25,-
Banjo Pilot; €20,-


And yesterday I bought Sonic and the Secret Rings for the Wii, but that one was for full price (€60, more or less) ):



EDIT: I also bought a Luigi + Poltergeist actionfigure XD 'Twas 5 Euros.
I'll take pictures later d:

[Hyper Kakarot]

Not bad, the GBA games aren't really too great, but it's good to see you got the rest.
And I gotta see pics of Luigi.

[Davewaveman]

I've heard that port of Final Fantasy has enormous problems. Let me know what you think of it, because I don't feel like wasting my near-dead wallet on a game that I'd just end up disliking.

[Hyper Kakarot]

Only FF re-make worth getting is VI. The rest is only so-so.

Anyway bought some games today.

Play Station 2
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Grand Theft Auto III

GTA was a gift for my sister, but they had a 2 for $20 deal so I grabbed MGS3 while I was there.

@ Dave: From what I heared the problems shouldn't be too big. There is one severe glitch that can erase all your save games, but for that to happen you'd have to do some specific things, which didn't seem natural to do anyway, so it's no biggy.
I haven't played it yet though, so I will come back to you after.


@ HK: Those two games for 20 bucks? WIN!

[namrobyob]

Double post. Meh.


GBA
Mario Power Tennis; €20,-

DS
Sonic Rush; €20,-
Wario Ware Touched; €30,-
-- Feel like I still payed a bit too much for this, knowing WW games, but it's pretty rare so I was lucky to even find it.... meh.

DVDs
Thunderbirds Box; €20,-
-- All 32 episodes here. Don't even remember if I used to like this serie, but damn, it sure was cheap so I bought it XDDDDD

[Hyper Kakarot]

Mario Power Tennis rocks, so nice on that one.

However, you definitely over-payed for Wario. The game is prolly the bastard child of the series. (With Twisted remaining the supreme winner.)

And eh, never liked Thunderbirds, but that is cheap. ;p

[namrobyob]

Actually, after playing just playing (and beating XD) it, I'd say I actually payed the right price for it, though knocking €5 off of it wouldn't have hurt.
I liked the game a lot... I wouldn't call it the bastard child of the series, that tittle, in my opinion, goes to Smooth Moves, which I didn't really liked.
... now if only I could find Twisted ;__;


Oh by the way Dave, about FFIV, I read that the European version actually has most of the bugs fixed. Lag still remains though (and is present is pretty much each battle I've had so far >_>), but if that's all then it's not too bad I guess.

Wii:
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; €67

DVD's:
A Scanner Darkly + Lady in the water + Snakes on a plane; €35
Football Factory; €7
Minority report; €7
Happy Feet; €23

[namrobyob]

What the Hell? Is the price you payed for TMNT the standard price for Wii games you pay over there? 'Cause it seems a bit expensive if you ask me...

Nice price for the threesome of DVDs, at least two of the three are reasonably new (dunno A Scanner Darkly). You overpayed for Happy Feet though, which is worth like.... 5 cents. The other seem fine in terms of price.


6/10 ololololol.

[Chris Andersen]

Actually, the price I paid for TMNT is pretty much the standard price for any brand new console game here in DK >_> Which is also why I mainly trade my games in for new ones when I have completed them so I dont have to pay so many money for new ones...

And 'A scanner Darkly' is also somewhat new.. Its a pretty interesting movie that went straight to dvd here in Denmark.. shame.. Its a sci-fi with Keanu Reeves, Woody Harrelson, Winona Ryder and Robert Downey Jr.. Where they sorta taped the whole movie first and then ran it through an animations programme, so the movie itself is a cartoon based on the real actors...

And eh, the price i paid for Happy Feet is also more or less the standard price for a new dvd here in DK, dont know if its worth it though since I dont saw it in cinemas =P

[namrobyob]

Oh wait, I know that movie now you said that.... haven't seen it, but it looks interesting to say the least.

But yeah, you guys get ripped of on your games lol.

[Hyper Kakarot]

Next-gen is expensive, but damn is TMNT not even close to being worth that much. You should have held out for Super Paper Mario or something.

The DVD's you got aren't particulary great, but the prices seem good. (Oh, but Snakes on a Plane rocked.)

[namrobyob]

DS

New Super Mario Bros-- €30,-
Pok้mon Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team-- €30,-


Two games for the price of one basically. But since I had to go to another city to buy them, I didn't save the full €60,-, since the trainticket was €26,-.
Still, I saved €34,-, and saw some more of my country. Win-win situation (:

[Hyper Kakarot]

Both games aren't really worth what you payed for. Especially Pokemon.

[namrobyob]

I'll agree that Pok้mon Dungeon isn't that good a game, but I was most likely gonna end up buying it eventually, and I doubt it'll ever drop below half price.
I disagree with NSMB though... though €5,- off would've been better, I still think I payed a decent amount for it. It's a fun game, though a little and the short and easy side (I mean what the Hell, I got to the final level in one hour and 15 minutes??).

Do you tink Hotel Dusk is worth buying for full price though? 'Cause it'll be released here tomorrow and I was thinking of picking it up.
Also, is it a sequal to any game? 'Cause I saw a picture of a character who looked a lot like the character on te cover of Another Code (or something along those lines).

[Hyper Kakarot]

It's from the same developers, but it isn't a sequel at all.

But good God buy it! Hotel Dusk is worth every penny.

[namrobyob]

Then you will rate this purchase well, since I bought it d: Full price, but eh, new release and all.

'Twas damn hard to find though, out of the four local shops only one had te game >_>;

[Hyper Kakarot]

Hah, you need a Wal-Mart and EB. There were copies everywhere when it came in.

And you get a sex/10 for buying it. If you don't like it; rofl.

[Hyper Kakarot]

Double post but whatever.

Bought a points card today and downloaded the following;

Starfox 64 (VC)
Kid Icarus (VC)
Super Ghouls n' Ghosts (VC)

Sex basically.
