Dropped in to GameSexchange again today, picked up a nice condition ZX Spectrum +2 with joysticks and a bag of games for 30 quid.

Not bad, might wander in there a bit more regularly and see what's behind the counter. All the games work so far as well which is unusual.

Hygro · 09-04-2014 01:46PM

I picked this up yesterday. Happy days!

Jaysus, never knew they did stuff more retro than the PS2!

Is it actually called Games Exchange up there?

The one in Cork is called Entertainment Exchange. No pre-PS2 retro goodness down here though.

Thats an incredible stick, grats

Cheers, I've a friend heading to the US this weekend to visit relatives so I'm getting her to smuggle this back for me http://www.ebay.com/itm/SONY-PLAYSTATION-NAMCO-ARCADE-CONTROLLER-JOY-STICK-RARE-TESTED-/271446808672?pt=US_Video_Game_Controllers&hash=item3f337d9860 well not this exact one, but the guy selling it had two for sale and I've bought the other one

Shapey Fiend · 09-04-2014 07:33PM

Got my 1CC shirt. Lovely quality I'd get another one of them.

Steve X2 · 09-04-2014 11:16PM

Just picked up my new Zelda 3DS XL from parcel motel. Tis a nice thing and I'm glad I picked it over the yoshi version(which I'll get next month).

09-04-2014 11:18PM

Oh that's lovely.
I want a 3dsxl badly.
Might get one in Japan later in the year

Yeah, they're nice yolks. I'm afraid to even check how many I have at this stage

these special editions are so addictive. I mean it's only a different coat of paint

It's insane you can't link your previous downloads to a new 3DS!!

Steve X2 · 10-04-2014 10:08AM

Actually, has anyone picked up the Yoshi 3DS XL yet?
How's it look in person?

10-04-2014 11:18AM

Couldent justify another 3ds, i have us/jap x 3 pal but I agree the zelda one is nicest although the luigi one is nice too..not mad about the pokemon, japan has some lovely ones though, like the slime one might pick it up at some stage, yoshi doesent look great imho but would like to see it in the flesh.

ghostchant · 10-04-2014 12:56PM

Went for the Luigi 3DSXL at Christmas, definitely my favourite of the EU special editions. Current total stands at

Black EU 3DS
Luigi EU 3DSXL
Purple US 3DS
White JP 3DSXL

Will be in Tokyo when Persona Q is released, along with the special edition XL for it. I've a strong feeling the excitement of the launch will result in me buying it.

CiDeRmAn · 10-04-2014 01:36PM

The Luigi one looks the business, as does the Yoshi knew, pity then they didn't make a decent Yoshi game to go along with!
I'll await some Metroid edition in the future perhaps!

:eek: Now that would really be something.

It's surprising how underused the Metroid franchise is when it comes to merchandise and console variants. We get Mario this, Zelda that... but not much Samus.

Off the top of my head all I can think of is this.

CiDeRmAn · 10-04-2014 01:46PM

Like this?

Or maybe there's a typo in my search bar

Here's today's GET, 3 Crash games and a cheapo PS1 memory card:

I have Crash Bandicoot Warped on the way also to complete the PS1 trilogy.

Ever since I bought the Aku Aku pin at Kaizoku Con, I have been itching to play the first game again.

I think it was the first game I played on the PS1 and I was amazed at how colourful and vivid the game was.

It was addictive as hell also.

CiDeRmAn · 10-04-2014 06:23PM

Someone mentioned recently that the likes of the original Crash and Spyro games are going for decent money now.
They're nice and all, but no Mario 64.

There's some value in ntsc games compared to pal. The price of pal stuff in gone crazy, then throw in the improved 60hz of ntsc. If I was starting all over again it would be ntsc all the way.

That was myself and Atavan! I think I got the 3 in the pic for less than 25 euro including uk postage and parcel motel so it wasnt too bad. I've spent about 13 on Warped alone in total as it was from another seller.

Not half as bad as some of the buy it now prices. :eek:

Myrddin · 10-04-2014 08:10PM

Some recent Wii additions (& 3DS)

CosmicSmash · 10-04-2014 08:15PM

There's some good deals on the wii and 3ds stuff at the moment. It's the right time to be picking them up.

Atavan-Halen · 11-04-2014 01:36PM

Very very happy to finally have this.

This now completes my gamecube pokemon games. Managed to get it for a good price at €36, with manual (no other inserts), posted from Tenerife which isn't bad for a PAL UK copy. It's really gone up in value over the last year or two with some selling on eBay for €60-80. You can get German/Spanish/Italian copies cheaper but I wanted the English version.

Derp. Should be fixed now.

Doge · 11-04-2014 06:16PM

This came today:

Was very relieved to find it actually fit.

Absolutely delighted with it, and even took a few selfies of me holding my mega drive 1 with it on.

Never thought id see the day i'd take selfies!

Hygro · 11-04-2014 09:38PM

I picked up this today (not my photo, but I got the game, in english!).

CiDeRmAn · 12-04-2014 07:57AM

Gorgeous Tempest 2000 incoming!
My new Jag Rgb cable arrived today!
Also, in other news, my Turbo Express car adapter also turned up, so a quick snip snip and I'll have a DC adapter proper that will also power my Lynx and Gameboy handhelds too.

safetyboy · 12-04-2014 03:35PM

That's me done now. Beans on toast creuxx

Casey120 · 12-04-2014 04:31PM

That's great
