So bargain pick up of the week is from Facebook Marketplace for ‘The Simpsons Game’ on XBox360 for AU$2.00 when it usually sells online for around AU$40 to AU$50.
Other new Xbox 360 games this week all picked up for around AU$1.50 to AU$3.00 each:-
- 007 Quantum of Solace
- Colin McRae Dirt 2
- Kinect Rush
- Murdered Soul Suspect
- SBK-08 Superbike World Championship
- Scene It? Box Office Smash
- Soul Calibur IV
- Superstars V8 Racing
- Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground
That puts my Xbox 360 retail game discs at about 340 games now.
I also picked up a copy of ‘Rare Replay’ for Xbox One as I had an urge to replay Grabbed By The Ghoulies.
Also since picking up the Playstation 2 last weekend I have increased my initial retail games on that system to 26 now. Picking up some of the basic exclusives like Gran Turismo, SOCOM, Ratchet & Clank etc.
Worst pick-up of the week goes to the PS2 though where I purchased a copy of ‘Fruit Fall’ which is a simple puzzle game that I think is really quite good…. only problem is I now realise the disc in the box was actually ‘Super Fruit Fall’ which isn’t exactly the same so now I need to find a ‘Super Fruit Fall’ box with a ‘Fruit fall’ disc in it to bring balance back to the universe!
On the PS2 I also received a FreeMcBoot memory card I had purchased from Ebay this week. That works amazingly well….. I always thought the original Xbox was easy to softmod but the PS2 is probably even more simple with this magical little memory card. I may now have to go buy a network adapter so I can fit a hard drive in the PS2 – I currently have a 640GB SATA one sitting around doing nothing so seems like a good opportunity for it to be useful again!
Nothing much else to report… still waiting on a few items from AliExpress. I am beginning to understand people’s comments on how long postage takes from that platform…. oh well, sure things will start to arrive from there eventually.
