Haven't posted in a while. I've slowed down a bit on buying recently. I'm at capacity, so now if a game comes in, one has to go. I am upgrading a bunch of my cart only games to CIB. 

Been listening to this nonstop. It's a mix of electronic music and metal. If you're a fan of either genre, I highly recommend it.

I like your suggestion of Neo Geo CD and will definitely be adding this to the list. Are the graphics as robust as on AES/MVS in your opinion?

Yeah, they look identical to me. The NGCD has the same hardware as the AES/MVS except more RAM and, obviously, a CD-ROM drive. 

I personally opted for a Neo Geo CD because you're getting virtually all the same games as AES at a fraction of the price (usually). Of course, you do have to deal with load times, but I don't think they're as bad as they're made out to be. 

A second option I've considered would be to get a consoled MVS and an Everdrive type device. It's a more expensive option, but still less expensive than collecting AES.

I did finance through them. The rate actually wasn't too bad at the time, but I'm not sure what they're at currently. 

I bought a car through Carvana. The process was pretty easy, and I have no real complaints. 

I've definitely slowed down on buying lately, but here's what I've picked up over the past few months.

I hate to be "that guy", but the book was better. 

10 all day long. There is nothing to not like about this movie, it's basically perfect. 

Morrissey vs. Robert Smith

My money is on Smith

I wanted to go, but I have way too much going on this month. I'll be down that way for RetroCon in September though. 

Recent pickups

Recent pickups. Upgrading some of my cart-only to CIB.

Recent pickups. I've decided to start replacing some of my loose NES carts with complete copies.

1211 NIN and Prince will always win over anyone as far as I'm concerned.

Recent pickups. Started collecting for CD-i. 

This was the toughest one so far. With the exception of Bryan Adams, I love all of these songs.

@Chaos Control I picked this lot up from a local store today. According to your guide Food of France is quite rare? Is this the rare version? If so, what kind of value would you give it? I cannot find sold ebay listings and I do not see it on Price Charting. Any other standouts in this lot? Appreciate any information, thank you!

 

This post inspired me to start collecting CDi. I just ordered my first three games (Pinball, Defenders of the Crown, and Hotel Mario).

Got the Japanese version of Crash Bandicoot, with case, manual, and spine card, in near-mint condition.

Nice! I just started collecting Japanese PS1. I'll have to get this one.

Entertaining, but I think it's way overhyped.
