Long story short. My friend lent me his Wii, didn't want it anymore. Didn't feel like going through E-bay and sold it to me for $220. What did I get for that discount price? Well....
Wii system
Extra controlloer/nunchuck
Zelda Twilight Princess
Carrying Case
:notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
Also, haven't got them yet, but ordered some new games for my DS :
Trace Memory
Phoenix Wright: Justice for All
Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations
Picked up "Burnout Paradise" of the weekend. So far it's pretty good but I still miss the "crash events" from the previous games. The "open world" is a cute idea but it can be a headache too.

I think I only got one game this month, which I paid far too much for after repeated visits to local game stores made me want to strangle people. (I bring game case to counter. Stooge 1: Oh, we don't actually have that, I don't know how the case keeps getting out on the shelves. The store at FOO has it, though. Me: drives an hour to get to FOO. Stooge 2: No, we haven't had that in ages. We get people in here looking for it all the time, I wonder why?)
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (GC)

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
No More Heroes (Wii)
Yeah, that's like nothing. Although, I originally expected that I would buy nothing for the entire month. Of course, that's before I realized that Advance Wars was not only legit now, but it was coming out in January, and before the release date for NMH got moved up.
Only dug into NMH so far and it's great.

This month I bought Rock Band and Burnout Paradise for Xbox 360. I also finally got to play my free copy of Crysis that came with my 8800 GTS, which I ordered in December. Overall an awesome month for me.

Burnout 3 via Xbox Originals.
Lots of Rock Band DLC.
Um.
Undertow, I supposed, but it's a fucking terrible game, so probably deleting soon.

Phantasy Star Online Episodes 1 & 2 Plus (Cube)
's it. Regretted selling it, especially after playing the train wreck that is Phantasy Star Universe. Brand new for 50% of what its going for used online. Great deal.

Actually... I bought nothing this month O.O I'm waiting for Devil May Cry 4 and Lost Odyssey next month. I was waiting for Super Smash Bros. as well, but we see how well that went...
Though the month isn't quite over yet and I might go and buy No More Heroes for the wii.

Bought rezHD, the trance vibration is cooler than I though. It doubles as a back massager if you place it right. But the game itself is pretty cool. Took me a bit to figure out that you can skip some of those level change boxes and be put on an alternate path.

Oh really? Good to know, but I thought those boxes led you to the boss?
I got to the boss on the first level and got smacked down as I couldn't figure out how to take it down. The game is fantastic, and I need to see what this trance vibration is all about.

They do, but if you avoid them you can find more blue orbs to level up with.
As I said in the VC/PSN/XBLA thread, I played through this from start to finish in one sitting. Either my experience with the game is kicking in or it's been slightly toned down in terms of difficulty. I was at maximum evolved form by the end of level 1!

Like anime, no games this month. The closest I came was a Guitar peripheral for Guitar Hero. Not even the VC can save my ass.

I picked up the first two Phoenix Wright games yesterday and I hunted down a copy of Metroid Zero Mission a couple weeks ago, all used. That's it for me this month.

Got a PS3. No games for it yet, just downloaded some demos, got some blu-ray movies, and using it as an upscaling dvd player for now. I was expecting blu-ray to look good, but man is that nice; and I'm pleasantly surprised at how well the upconversion looks because I thought my tv upconverting from my old old regular dvd player looked pretty good, but using the PS3 is definitely better.
Other than that, the only game I got this month was Star Tropics off the virtual console.
I was planning to get No More Heroes but it's going to have to wait a little bit while i work through my backlog and save up some more funds.
Some stuff was put on the EU PSN store today i fancied -
Motorhead (PSone)
Theme Hospital (PSone)
Fade to Black (PSone)
