Scalpers is having a field-day with Wolverine Accessories

PS5 Wolverine Bundle and Accessories preorders went live this morning for select retailers/PSDirect. Not even a day has passed, scalpers are already trying to resell.

I got my orders in for what I wanted, but damn give the rest of PS5 fans a chance due to network errors or doesn’t have the mean to purchase today.

If your a fan and got what ya’ll wanted, congrats and enjoy it when its finally delivered.

$20 Pickups

Everything for $20 during GS B4 under $5 for $10 this week.

Finally found GOTY-NFR Halo: CE in the wild and PS2 version of Fantavision. Never knew the PS5 version of Fantavision was limited print and delisted. Glad I bought it when it was available.

Lucky Marketplace find for FREE

Seller wanted to sell for $60, but realized they had no way to test if it works or not since no AV cables and power brick. I said no worries and was still interested. Meet up and seller told me it’s free and just handed to me right then and there. Still surprised and I did offer cash value, but seller declined. Went home and plugged the baby in with my spare cables. Lo behold, she runs like a charm!

On a side note, while I was logging the games and console to my PriceCharting collection. Why the hell is Wii Sports Resort expensive?!

PEAK Hydration Ya’ll.

Was shopping at Target today and saw this baby just chilling at the game section. Never bought a licensed product so fast in my life. I had to have for my gaming room. It can only hold 8 cans, if y’all are wondering. Price was $59.99, way cheaper than the Astro-Bot head mini-fridge at $99.99 that Target was also selling.

Now I can slay Norse Gods while staying hydrated.

Marketplace Pickup!

Finally get to own GameCube + CIB games.

$80 console+cables+memory card and $30 for the games. Seller was looking to sell and I was in the market for the console.

I’ve been playing all my GameCube games on my Wii, and now I can experience it on the OG Cube.

I started collecting GameCube games recently and oh boy, they are expensive. Is there any games that’s exclusive to the GameCube I should look out for???

Apparently the Buy 4 under $20 for $40 has a caveat now.

They tack on Game Protection plan without your permission and it’s baked onto the promotion at a discount rate. Employee said word for word too.

Last time I checked I can refuse game protection and no problems arise other than fucking up their sales metrics.

Shame on me for not checking my receipt after I finished paying. I did check the POS system during checkout and there wasn’t game protection added on to the games.

Update: Went back to GameStop, explained the situation to an employee I usually buy from, and got the refund of $6.10. Then used that $6.10 towards pre-ordering Halo: Campaign Evolved.

Problem solved, but now I’m very cautious of that employee every time I check out.

B2G1 GameStop

It’s that time of the month where GameStop is doing their end of the month deal.

Picked up a lot of bangers today. Altogether costed shy of $400. Everything is CIB except for Windwaker, it’s only missing the instruction manual.

Project X Zone, Sonic Heroes, XIII, Front Mission 4, and Crimson Desert was free games out of the B2G1 deals.

I’ve been seeing a lot of Shin Megami Tenseis for the DS/3DS. Keep an eye out if you’re interested.

Obvious scam.

1 sold so far. Are they trying to drive the price down? New-seller and no ratings.

Update: OoS. I think people are risking it lol. Only 3 was available. Whoever bought it good luck!

Stuck in Delayed, Not yet Shipped on Pre-Order

Just wanna get answers. Pre-ordered said item way back in May 22. Was supposed to be shipped and delivered first week of June. Never happened. Tried to cancel to re-order, but couldn’t cancel. Talked to CS about it and put in a ticket that never got resolved. Chatted with an associate through text telling me to shove it and wait for a replacement. Ordered hasn’t updated and replacement was never placed. Poor headset is stuck in limbo now. Should I just order someplace else???

Recent GameStop Haul!

Good haul for retros this past week. Would’ve been better during B2G1 free, but beggars can’t be choosers I suppose.

Everything CIB and 2 Brand New Switch 2 games.

Picked up 3DS SMT, Persona Q2, and Ultra Sun! This should complete my mainline Pokémon for the 3DS. Still looking for HeartGold tho.

Buy 4 - $4.99 or under for $10 was this weeks promotion.
Can’t help myself to pickup DMC 4, Rock Band 1/2, and Genji for $10.

Vita collection, PSP, and few PS2 games.

Wii Castlevania game that I’ve never heard about.

Pokémon Colosseum, Paper Mario, and Four-Swords Adventures was surprised pickup even for me.

Switch 2 had the $30 brand new game, so I picked Z-A and Metroid for that promotion

Toy Story 3 for lulz. I’m gonna try it out since they have a retro collection coming out this year and return the PS3 version if I don’t like it.

What’s more surprising is DBZ: Budokai Tenkaichi 3.
This has to be internal problem in GameStop system. I could’ve sworn BT3 was more expensive than the rest of the trilogy. Good find nonetheless!

(Rare) Nova Pink DualSense is $54 on PSDirect

If you’re collecting and missed out on Nova Pink DualSense during the Galaxy Collection launch. Now’s your chance with a $20 off during PlayStation’s Days of Play sale.

I never would’ve imagine they would re-release this color.

Half-Price Books 20% Off Memorial Day Sale

Glad I stopped by in Houston on a whim, didn’t know there was Memorial Day sale. Took 20% from the final sale. Altogether for $316.06.

Sure I could’ve bought them individually at GameStop for the Buy 2, Get 1, but I don’t see dual packs often.

Just missing Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl Dual Pack, Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, and Let’s Go Pikachu.

I did alright.

Last batch of Monolith Set from Laced Records just came in today. I WAS very excited to finally add it to my collection, but it looks like quality control had another idea. Love the game tho.

Never in my life I would own all three rarest PS4 Consoles in my collection. From left to right as follows (Taco Bell Gold Contest, 20th Anniversary Edition, and 500th Million Edition).

PS4 is my favorite console and I have been collecting the Limited Edition Variants from US, PAL, and JP.

I’m still missing JP variants here there, but mainly been hunting down Monster Hunter World Rathalos Variant.

What was your favorite variant?

Also, don’t be afraid to ask sale associates about retros inside their drawers. Who knows what will be your next grail pickups.

Picked up a lot of CIB bangers today and a free 3DS Metroid Game Case.

Altogether $230.

I really hope this doesn’t replace the Buy2Get1 free deal.

I also ordered 14 Vita games online. Really hoping for CIBs.
