I took a short trip to another mall where there was another Jay Street Video Games store. I didn't find what I was looking for there, so I went to the Gamestop there and they had a buy 2 get 1 free sale on last gen games. It's my favorite GS sale, so I got what's shown below.
Record of Agarest War: Zero [Xbox 360]. I noticed the disc didn't say Zero on it, so I went back to ask if this was right. I couldn't remember if there was more than one RoAW. She said yes and off I went. Of course, she was wrong, and now I have the box for Zero and the disc for the first game. Oh well, the box and booklet are pristine, so I'll have that when I get Zero, but now I don't have a box for RoAW. Darn it! I used to know all about this series too. It was $9.
Little Big Planet [PS3]. I've always wanted to get this game. It seems a must-have exclusive for PS3 too. This is the GotY version. It was also $9.
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception [PS3]. I now have the whole series. . . again. This time I'm keeping them. It was $6 and actually free with the buy 2 get 1 free sale.
Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. demo download card. I already have the demo and now the full game, but I liked the art on the card and so grabbed one. It was free.
I always try and get the price just under $20 on those buy 2 get 1 free sales. That means you have to stick to around $10 a title. I turned down several games I wanted but were too expensive like The Metal Gear Solid Legacy Collection, which was $45 used, and Diablo III UEE, which was $19 used.
I was looking for the Xbox 360 version of Bayonetta but haven't found it yet. I know it's included with Bayonetta 2 on Wii-U, which I will get soon, but I like achievements and want it for 360 as well. I wonder what's up with that? It seems really hard to find.
I considered getting Halo 1 and 2 for original Xbox at Jay Street VGs. . . again, but I'm thinking about picking up The Master Chief Collection/Xbox One bundle. However, it would be neat to play them on the old system. I'm still mulling that over. There's a pretty big price difference there: original versions - under $20; MC Collection plus X1 - $350. However, I do want to play Halo 2 remastered badly. It's too bad my friend Mark is broke right now, because if he was on board to get this bundle, I would do it too. I want to make co-op level playlists across all four main series Halo games. The other issue is that I will need a new TV to play these current gen systems. TVs are pretty cheap now but it's still another $300 or so. I'll put that off as long as I can bear it.
I was going to grab the first Agarest over Steam, but decided to hold on due to the amount of DLC. Still would like to get it, because i'm interested in trying the series.
I just hear the words "strategy RPG" and I want it.
oh you got Code Name Steam? Have you played it yet? What do u think? I'll probably get Xenoblade.
I, unfortunely, have been too busy wrangling Miis to get to it, darn it. Get along little doggies, YEEHAA!!!
I love buy 2 get 1 free sales. They don't don't seem to do them as often as they used to though. I guess that's a good thing for my backlog lol.
I need to play Uncharted 3. That's actually the PS3 bundle I bought way back when, so it's the PS3 game that I've been sitting on for the longest amount of time. I had to play the first two games first--and I've done that--but there's just too much good stuff to play and too little time to play it.
During the Xbox/PS2/GC generation, I used to go to the Gamestops almost every week and take advantage of those sales. Now, I go there maybe once a month.
I got Tatsunoko vs Capcom and Fragile Dreams for Wii, and Witch and the Hundred Knight for PS3. I've been collecting old Wii games recently for some reason (probably cause nothing's coming out for Wii U and most Wii games are reasonably priced). I also recently picked up Sakura Taisen and Klonoa for Wii.
Yea, Wii games are dirt cheap right now. I keep trying to think of something I don't have yet though. I thought of one the other day, Kirby's Epic Yarn.
We're going to have to have another LBP game night soon so you can get your feet wet.
Yes!
What days and times are good for you?
Usually I'm gaming Sundays and Mondays all day long unless I have a dinner to go to like I might have on Sunday this week. I usually start around noonish and go to about 11pm.
I got Agarest War for steam,still ploughing through it. lol. Right now I'm playing through the second generation. It's not too shabby. I may check out Agarest 2 at some point.
That's cool. I was hoping the game was more than just its pretty cover art.
I do love reading through game pickup blogs beause of all the interesting/cool stuff folks find, and I'm glad people are taking advantage of the Buy 2 Get 1 Free at GameStop. I dug Uncharted 3 but 2 is still my favorite out of the bunch (I need to finish the original). LBP is a lot of fun and if that GOTY doesn't have all the freebie skins check the PSN store, there are a ton of skins. I think I used the Metal Gear skin the most.
I'm interested in the user created levels. I wonder if they are still available? I've heard about some really creative ones.
