    Not exactly sure if this qualifies as retro but I bought a Nintendo Gameboy Micro last week. I got the following games with it:

    Zelda: The Minish Cap
    Zelda: A Link To The Past
    Super Mario Advance
    Super Mario Advance 2

    Got Paris-Dakar rally, WRC 3 and Devil May Cry 3 on the PS2 all for €8 in Gamestop. Already have DMC 3 but this one was a non-special edition unlike the one I have.

    Yeah, I think in this instance they're really going to have to come off. I'll put up some more pics and see what people think.

    Have fun! Games X change in Camden had a few old consoles in it the last time I was there. Although some of them were pretty expensive. There was a Neo Geo AES for about 100 pounds.

    All really nice except the western version of Streets of Rage 3. It's totally ruined. Japanese version is at least not impossible to beat and has the gay leather daddy character!

    Yeah I know..makes me sad :( Just had to have the PAL version though. The completist in me saw it as a gaping hole in my collection.

    I'll pick up Bare Knuckle 3 some time in the future.

    If you're in London, Game Focus on Goodge St. (off Tottenham court Rd/near Oxford St.) would be worth a look

    @Oisin, Your lucky to get Streets of Rage 3, I am picking up Streets of Rage 2 this week from an ex of mine. The only good reason to get in contact with her is to get the game then I'm gone like a bat out of hell :D

    Installment no 3 is on my ebay hitlist

    Hah! That is hilarious. If I were you I'd cut my losses and just get it on ebay. It's not that expensive ;)

    When it comes to Streets of Rage 3 you really need to shop around. I've been trying to pick it up for years but it has always been too expensive. And it just got more and more expensive. Got luck with that one.

    Aye SR2 on ebay is competitive enough.
    I seen a few SR3 on ebay, prices are not too bad. I would pay up to 50 euro for a mint complete copy but nothing more then that..

    I got an original phat PS2 today in pretty good condition. Always wanted a PS2 just never could afford one when I was younger :cool:
    Came with 9 games aswell...

    My own copy was only €30 delivered from Australia. So as I was saying, it's worth shopping around. I wouldn't go dropping 50 euro on it just yet! You can do better than that.

    Yep. Well worth getting a cheap flight over for a day and doing some shopping. I'm only in Liverpool so London would be the place to go. They have a good retro scene or so I'm told.

    Sure at that rate youll pick them up for 7, maybe even 8 pence. Thats incredible, it could be worth a day trip at some stage.

    Jesus christ atavan, that's pretty damn amazing! A NES GBA SP for £2.99 is hilariously cheap.

    Well done :)

    That haul is better than anything I've ever seen around London.

    My mother came across 7 ps2 games today in a recycling plant. Cost her 2 euro for the lot.

    They have more of them if anyone wants me to pick one up. Some are fairly scratched though. No chargers with them aswell.

    Oh I thought you'd cleared out the stock already!

    If they're selling everything that cheap you should just grab as much as you can possibly bring back. Multiples and all! You'd get at least a tenner for games like Mario Kart and Super Mario world. At 1p it would be silly to leave them behind.
