    Ah, you see, it's been so long since you attended one you've forgotten where I live.
    Though, at my age, a trip to the shops will often have the same effect :(

    PS3 and 360 titles are starting to free fall as well, especially the earlier stuff.
    We forget sometimes that the 360 is 10 years old in a few short months and considered, by many, to be a current and decent console.
    In fact, by our own twisted logic, it's nearly in the retro pile!
    But the rows of 360 titles seem to hold precious little that's priced at over €20, and there's quite a few bits and bobs to be had, it really was, imho, the last gens PS2, if that doesn't seem weird to suggest.
    The only poop in the porridge was the region locking of so many of it's games, meaning many lovely Shmups relied on modding or expensive importing of compatible consoles to play them.

    We originally had a better run of bullet hell shooters in PAL regions than originally in NTSC - U/C. Originally DoDonPachi Resurrection, Deathsmiles and Akai Katana received PAL releases well before the US got theirs. Plus there are a few that are region free.

    I don't personally get mod chips added to my consoles but if I did, I would have done my 360 years ago to access games. Outside of the shmups is there any real reason to own a Japanese 360?

    You say that like the 360 sold more than 5 units in Japan.

    I am sure not being able to understand the game would cause problems with my ability to play the game. I have literally no understanding of Japanese outside of what Hattori Hanzo said in the Kill Bill movies.

    I have "Arigato" and "Velly Good!"

    Hopefully my first 2 import games will be able to help with that, but for games that are text heavy, the language barrier is something I can't break down (at this point at least).

    Dragon's Crown and Okami Den came this morning, I was waiting ages because it's PlayAsia (nothing unusual there) now to play the waiting game again with the other stuff I bought.

    My son is playing Okami right now and loving it.
    I asked him will be he try Okamiden next but he says he doesn't know because you're only a pup in it, rather than the wolf as in the first one.
    He's playing it on the Wii as well.
    Ah, my boy, he has excellent taste, no idea where he gets it from!

    As a scientific experiment, you should give him a blast of Streets of Rage 2 to evaluate if poor taste is a genetic trait or an inherited one :D

    Didn't know Okami Den existed.

    That cover art is basically Okami given the most kawaii make over ever, that little girl riding him is totally you!

    Definitely not, but going back to a regular 3DS after having an XL the screen will look tiny.

    It's gotta be fair priced. Could always use a second XL for imports...

    Finally got around to getting a cheap pc case from Amazon to put my mame rig into. Most other parts came via Andrew.

    Have Hyperspin already running but trying to make the switch from an arcadevga and mame to crt_emudrivers and groovymame which is proving a bit more troublesome.

    IMAG0343_zpswd0tkzft.jpg

    What's in the cheap box that has no cable management?

    Core i5, 6gb ram, Radeon 4890, 1tb hdd.
    I had to add a scythe quiet cpu cooler as the stock one was crazy noisy dealing with all emulation processing!

    So I spoke about these on another thread.

    Picked up ask of this from the rage. All I ended up actually posting for was Street Fighter II and even then I got a fiver off.

    The last behind the counter remembered that I was a Dreamcast collector and kept loads of white label games for me and gave them to me for nothing!

    My opinion of the rage is slowly changing because of that one dude...

    Oh forgive there state of the floor I need to mop :-P

    I got Hotel Dusk today, bargain for 6.99 in GS.
    It'll share the shelf with Cape West.
    Good game too, cheap as chips, seems to be a good time to be buying DS games.

    Did another haul today. White Knight Chronicles PS3, Mirrors Edge PS3 and Lost Planet 360 for less than E20. Had to do some manual robbing but ended up with everything being complete.

    What is everyones opinion on consolidating the best of multiple copies within the same store? i.e taking the best box without manual and putting the manual from a copy of the same game in a **** box so you get both?

    I appear to live near a bad GameStop for DS games. It's all either typical shovelware or overpriced 1st party titles.
