There was one of these before, but it seems to have got lost/deleted, so thought I'd start up a new one.

Basically, use this thread for sharing pics of any and all gaming related stuff you buy. New, retro, games, consoles, tat, whatever, we want to see! :)

Last pic I added to my LJ was stuff I got just before Xmas, so I'm gonna take one of all my 2008 stuff so far and add it later.

January, and February so far, have been fairly quiet gaming wise for me, especially since some of the big US releases I got last year on Japanese import.

Wow!
Those pictures remind me...I need to buy some shelves that the wife approves of. I'm overflowing onto the floor practically.

Also...how big is that subwoofer? That looks as big if not bigger than my Klipsch sub!

The sub is like 24" X 17" X 25". It's fuggin' huge. And it kicks ass. Never heard one as good as it, except for the one that I convinced my parents to buy (which is just the upgraded version of what I have).

It's not easy to cram so much shit into a bedroom and not have it be cluttered, but I think I do a decent job.

Damn it, you guys are tempting me to get the DMC4 CE. It looks so sexy... DiGiKerot, What region is that DMC 4 from? I don't think that's Region 1/USA.

DiGiKerot, have you played Disgaea 3 yet? I'm thinking of getting the LE version myself.

Games I got for 2008. (http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/8661/img0125ll6.jpg) Sure got a lot of games within the two months of the new year. :P

EDIT: Looking at everyone else's pics, some games just by the cover art is just tempting for me to pick up. Nice!

It's the EU version, which is a pretty lame LE - I'd have got the US release, but I only really picked up the game on impulse rather than having planned it.


DiGiKerot, have you played Disgaea 3 yet? I'm thinking of getting the LE version myself.

The LE is only really worth it if you want the OST and can still get the Devil Label CD - the art book is kind of disappointing.

As for the game, I've plugged in a few hours. It goes really nuts with the counters - as standard some of my attacks end up two or three counter attacks. All your techs and magic have to be bought now using Mana rather than learnt though weapons use, which means that, unless you spend ages grinding for mana, you'll only have the one tech for quite a while, particularly given there plenty of other things you could be spending that mana on. They've mucked around with the whole Geopanel system as well.

Ultimately, there's far largely system changes between this and Disgaea 2 then there were between Disgaea 1 and 2. I'm not sure how many of these changes are for the best yet, mind. It's all pretty hard and very heal-heavy now.

Looks pretty sweet over all. I'd like to get it to have one RPG for my PS3...but I'm afraid of all the plot I would miss even though studies in Japanese have been getting better. Maybe something to look into for the summer. Hmm...

What all comes with the Gundam SE box?

The game, a trading card, some postcards, memory card stickers, and a manual/artbook. It apparently retailed for 9800 yen back in 1996, but it was only $10 during Play-Asia's Year of the Rat sale, so I don't feel ripped off.

Cool, you got Time Crisis. It is on my mass list of PS3 games which will be bought soon.

A question though, I played Time Crisis on the PS1 and the G-con1 was awful, it was so light and just felt cheap as though it would break at any moment.
Were as my all time favourite gun is the Virtua Gun which came with Virtua Cop (and is still in working condition!) It had a bit of weight to it and was quite sturdy.

So how is the G-con3 is it a decent light gun? And do you advise importing another version other than the UK one to avoid the ugly orange gun?


Oh and nice shoes by the way :bigsmile:

Yeah, it feels pretty light and cheap this time around too, but it does its job well enough. It's a hassle having to connect the sensors to your TV and I don't think they're quite as accurate as the Wii remote but again, do what they're supposed to.

Get the Japanese version w/black GunCon if you can. I was waiting for it to come down in price a bit but found the US one for around £40 and thought I might as well go for it.

Thanks for the info, at least the gun is effective (even if still cheap feeling) Ill probably still get it though and Ill try and get a hold of a japanese version (any recommendation on where to purchase a japanese version from that will ship to the UK?)

Well, there goes your life for the next couple of months. :p

Oh and you probably shouldn't have gotten the guides as they are pretty much already outdated.

It was cheaper to get the battle chest edition (the guides came free with it) than WoW + Burning Crusade separately :)

Well at the beginning of the month I got geared up for some serious fighting action with my tax rebate. Also had a string of wins on eBay so that accounts for all the games except GTAIV that my brother got.

Stixs and Pad (http://www.box.net/shared/static/93pyb89kcc.JPG)

Getting the little girls of the house praticing for PAX since we plan on taking them for a day and getting SCIV and SFIV. The extra pad is for DDRU2 so they don't have to fight over it.

Wait, you didn't buy any games with it? Wow... O_O I guess you can always download some demos from Live or get some XBLA games until you pick up physical disc games.

I did actually. Best Buy just doesn't have an option to ship everything together in one order. Got a couple that should arrive tomorrow or Monday. And I'm setting it up as I'm typing this.:P

The games I ordered arrived today. linky (http://img364.imageshack.us/img364/295/img0142hq2.jpg)
I wanted Ninja Gaiden II with it, but that game isn't out yet. If I could of had everything in one order I would have called it my Xbox360 launch.

And the quest to get connected to XBLA is turning out to be a failure. And I think the wireless adapter I just bought is broken.

Couple more arrivals here (http://bp3.blogger.com/_8pXaZ96XW6o/SDW6S2Z9mtI/AAAAAAAAAF4/w4rylAXEDkE/s1600-h/DSC00089.JPG) and here (http://bp2.blogger.com/_8pXaZ96XW6o/SDwc32Z9mzI/AAAAAAAAAGw/OE2SKMIFUm0/s1600-h/DSC00094.JPG). I stick new purchases on my (shamless plug) blog (http://justanotherotaku.blogspot.com) usually so it's easier to follow there :P

Is it the official one or something else? I had some toubles with the official one so when I upgraded my home network to wireless N I decide to spring for this baby.

Dual-Band Wireless-N Gaming Adapter (http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Product_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1175239647577&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper&lid=4757745678B07)

Messed with a little while trying to set it up then found out it had pushbutton Wi-Fi as well as my new Trendnet Wireless N Gigabit Router. Then I was off to the races. Even funny is the adapter is both cheaper then MS adapter and useable on anything with an ethernet port. Might even be faster then PS3 and Wii built in wireless.

It's the official one alright. Even with it plugged in and to edit the wireless settings on the 360 menu, it's all greyed out. And according to the Xbox forums, another could be that my USB port on the system might be faulty.

If it helps, the router I'm using is a Linksys model WRT54GS firmware ver.7.2.03. And the firmware not supported according to the Xbox compatible router list.

Yeah like I said I had problems with the official one. I guess to check out the USB possible problem you can just plug into on of the ports up front. If is still giving you problems then you might as well return it for a replacement. I mean if it isn't even seeing the adapter who cares about the router. Got to deal with one link in the chain before going to the next.
