Small want... but loose Psychonauts manuals never come up for sale on ebay and don't want to deal with buying a CIB copy if I can help it. If anyone has a loose manual floating around let me know.

Probably my old post. I found the buyer on ebay but we made a private transaction to save on fees. Sold for $650. Didn't have a box. That was almost a year ago though so not sure what it'd go for today.

Pokemon Sunday

Just finished my playthrough last week. It was... an experience? Definitely not a great game by any means, but was a good change of pace. I have 1 and 2 but haven't played them yet. Not sure how they compare to 4.

None have back labels unfortunately. I'm not knowledgeable enough to know which ones originally came with back stickers. Only ones we've found in the wild so far are Banjo Tooie x2 and these, and then I bought a couple Pokemon Stadiums off of NA. Already sold one of the rougher ones on ebay pretty quickly for $135, which was a surprise. Being kind of greedy and will probably list the next one around $150 or $160 since it'll be nicer condition and we've set a benchmark now... Although not sure if I'll have any bites. If you're interested in one at $130 or have any CIB Pokemon games, CIB Mario Party 3, or mid tier PS2 games could also work out a trade.

A fairly large video game chain is headquartered here and 3 of these came from there and the other came from a store about 20 minutes away. Half the store is behind the counter and you can see they're hoarding tons of stuff back there. Our theory is someone grabbed a stack of these by accident and priced them. Feel like we need to keep checking back and see if anything else sneaks up to the floor.

My wife likes to dig through the common N64 games any time we go to the game stores to beef up her NFR collection. Surprised she's found four copies of Rogue Squadron in the past two days! She's been trying to justify some Pokemon purchases so this should help her out some!

Is the sleeve the only thing exclusive to this? Is it just the two individual cases with no changes from the originals?

Looks like PriceCharting is broken too.

Nice find! I've got the DK64 press kit VHS and banana keychain, but missing the majority of it.

Down for two!

I did some googling yesterday and couldn't really find a conclusive answer. For blu-ray discs are top scratches as big of a deal as older disc types? I picked up a copy of Dawn of the Dragon for PS3 yesterday for a pretty good price, only to find out it's got some pinholes. Of course I can play through the entire game and find out for myself.. But I'm pretty bad about buying a bunch of games and playing them "eventually". I purchased it from a game store and can return it if necessary, but would like to keep them from destroying it since it's a harder to find game.

My bet is it was an auction with a BIN, and someone did BIN. Not sure why it would display 1 price in list and 1 price in listing, but knowing ebay probably just a bug. On web it's showing it sold for $300 in the item listing. It also shows 'new listing' in list view, which means it was posted and sold within 24 hours, which also makes it feel like a BIN.

I didn't purchase it, but I shamelessly stole this picture from ebay. Looks to be just a normal slip cover.

Stumbled upon Payday 2 Safecracker Edition at the store today.

I don't see Beyond Two Souls on your list

Those Pokemon boxes are beautiful. My wife is more into Pokemon than me and she's kinda upset with how much they've shot up the past few months. I think she's got CIB Red, Emerald, Leaf Green, Soul Silver, and Heart Gold. She's collecting them all but it's gonna be a little slower now that they've all gone up 100%+.

I moved about 3 years ago and sold off my Gamecube collection to help fund it. Going through my phone and I see a bunch of titles I forgot I had... Hypergrind for like $60, Rally Championship for $20, Pokemon Box was my most expensive title at like $250. Sucks to see current prices! lol. Anyone else have old collection pics that are no longer with them?

JK sold on ebay right after I posted here

Nothing

Are there any physical PS3 shumps released in NA besides Under Defeat?

PS2 is in my top 2 favorite consoles (Other being Super Nintendo). Recently I played through the first Xenosaga, and I got part way through Cold Fear, but haven't gone back to it in a while. Other than that I've been watching my wife play through Psychonauts. I've gotten some pretty good steals this past year or so with PS2. I picked up Xenosaga 2 and 3 in a lot of about 100 games for $60 total, and I got Haunting Ground in a lot which came out to $.50 each... I thought it was alright. I'm wanting to get Kuon but can't drop that kind of money right now. I think my favorites in the collection are my sealed black label Kingdom Hearts and FFX. They were some of my first RPGs and mean a lot to me. I had a graded Futurama but sold it recently. My main focus right now is on PS2 and PS3. No idea if PS3 will ever get expensive.. But I've already gone ahead and purchased pretty much all the JRPGs and horror games with an average buy in of like $10. Have around 220 unique titles.

Didn't think about that. Good idea.

You're right, I should have. I'm pretty sure his name tag said he was a manager, or lead, or something, but I don't remember for sure. I don't stop by often but if it happens again I will definitely report it. I think I was just under the assumption "Just Gamestop things" and upper management wouldn't care, but should at least mention it.

Over the weekend I went on a game store run for the first time in a couple months. Found a few good cheap games at Gamestop and took advantage of the B2G2 sale. I always hate their sales pitch, especially when they take forever, and when you say no, you get another long sales pitch on something else, but I put up with it and always wait for them to finish and just say "No thank you". Get through the sales pitch for pro membership.... "No thank you". I get the pitch for disc protection... "No thank you". Finally it's time to pay and my total is like $26, whereas my games total up to $22 after tax (~10% tax rate). Turns out he tried to throw on the disc protection anyways. I wasn't having it and called him out on it. I don't hate Gamestop like a lot of people do, but not a good way to keep customers coming into your store.
