Actually been a pretty good month. Managed a 500gb PS4 slim and Gravity Rush 2 for $200, but I suppose that's not the interesting part yet. Found a plastic tub at a yard sale a few weeks back that had an NES (sideloading model), an SNES (yellowed plastic, unfortunately), an N64 (Black), and a variety of NES and N64 games in it (no SNES games, unfortunately), including Contra, Super C, Punch Out, and Rogue Squadron. Also assorted accessories, hookups, and controllers. Got it all for $10. Found a backwards compatible Wii at another for $12, which I'm planning to mod and let my dad, who's visiting at the moment, take back to his place for use in the guest room for when I go out to visit him (it does need a nunchuck and sensor bar though). Also found pic related today, which I honestly didn't expect to ever see at this particular store (I'd asked a while before now and they'd said they'd never seen it come in), let alone at even that original, pre-discount price.
Been a year or two since I had a month this good. I just wish that store still did 20% vouchers for doing post-purchase surveys; having a constant fifth off the price of single item purchases was great for the time it was going.

I've seen the first and second around occasionally. Prices didn't seem too bad either (at least at the time I saw it; not sure what they average now), assuming I actually had a Saturn myself to begin with. Good fucking luck with finding Saga, and at a remotely reasonable price, unless you know moon and can import. Think in total (I might be remembering wrong), Sega shipped maybe 38,000 copies west over a few print runs, and at one point mocked people that couldn't find it around, sarcastically telling them just play make believe instead in an advertisement.

If there's something to be said for the PS4, it's that, at least as far as disc-installs go, it is MUCH faster than the PS3's ever were. I was expecting at least 10-15 minutes of time to get Gravity Rush installed, as it was about the same size as some games I've had which took that long on my PS3, but it did it almost instantaneously. Either that, or it installs on the fly as you keep playing, I'm not sure.
>Also updated the PS3 to 4.82 Rebug.
I'd heard rumor that doing that at could fix the issue I'd been having with quitting games occasionally freezing the system (it just auto-reboots, thankfully). It didn't help much, and I'm not sure what exactly is causing it, other than maybe being that I'd gone from 4.82 OFW -> 4.82 FERROX -> 4.81 ReBug prior to 4.82 ReBug coming out, basically downgrading temporarily.
>StarFox poster in the image background.
Looks framed. Did that frame cost you that much? Got a few posters I'm wanting to post up too, without putting tacks through them (a frame would also help flatten them out), but it seems even simple frames can cost a fair bit.

Personally, I do so for occasional new releases (I don't buy that much at release, so that doesn't happen that often) or reprints, and on rare occasions when I can't find something locally after a good while of searching. This is namely because, at least where I live, I stand a much better chance of finding otherwise expensive games at much lower than average prices. Whereas most people online are likely to just ask the usual prices everyone else asks online, while a lot of brick and mortar places do the same, occasionally they don't, and screw up the price in either direction. I've seen games that would otherwise be $60+ for $10-20, and games that are $10 elsewhere be $30 or so. Again, I suppose this depends entirely on where you live though, whether or not you have many local options to begin with, whether the stores are wise to what they should be asking, etc.
