Four me? Yes! ...terday I bought.

Aren't the sanrio ones new and why every one going nuts for them?

Double Post as I went to the shops today, did I need to go not really, but the independent game shop seemed to be pushing being back open. I get it a business like that will need the trade and seen them go hey got these unusual PS4, Switch games in and more merch etc come in.

For me though it was more about the retro with the odd more modern game as I traded in Balan after finishing it and Bravely Default II as I was never going to play it. Oh also two Japanese PSP games of eBay which one should be Jas dream a From Software made Monster Hunter



The PS3 games mainly because what's happening with PSN as started to see games get delisted and go up value, that for £4 thought something like Agarest worth a punt.

Haha! I've known about that game for ages and even though it is From Soft I'm pretty sure Miyazaki wasn't at the helm of it.

I'd be interested in seeing what that Lumines game on PS2 is like, Mas.

I spent an afternoon in Covent Garden exploring the two central London CEXs and HMV (now Fopp). Picked these bad boys up (Wrestlemania was the re-release):

Mas-style bed shot:

Not played it but far as I know it's a port of the PSP game which happened a lot for late PS2.

On Tennis, World Tour 1 is on sale on Xbox and tempted, but there's a World Tour 2 which has a next gen version that I may as wait till that's cheap digital or physical.

Are those WWE DVDs still worth much, gjones? I'd assumed WrestleMania 17 would have cost you a decent amount regardless, such is the events legendary status. 

My new buys:



I was awake in the middle of the night a few days back, just fannying about Amazon. That was lucky - I found that amiibo for only £5.99 and the game for only a fiver!

That seems cheap for DOOM Eternal, I know it's a different format but seeing its now very likely on all Three Game Pass's forever wonder if the prices have come down on all the formats because of that?

Doom Eternal for a fiver is criminal. Ol' Nagano Trotter strikes again.

Wrestlemania 17 was a tenner new, it's usually about 8.99 online for these re-releases although 17 is usually out of stock (already). WWE re-released Wrestlemanias 14-22 last year and I'm glad they did. The originals are at least a tenner anyway and are a good 20 years old so at risk of being scratched. Also, hearing how WWE are editing their network content makes me want to get their best events on DVD.

Definite tagline potential.

Do you think these WWF/WWE DVDs will go up in price now that the WWE Network is being edited? I'm asking because I had a clearout of my cupboard last year and there's a box with about fifty WWF/WWE DVDs from the 2000s/early 2010s sitting waiting to go to a charity shop. Is there anything that might be worth something?

It depends on what they are really. The big four PPVs will always be worth a few quid but the 2000s stuff I could see some nostalgia for that period creeping in soon, so there may be a demand for that mid-2000s era. There's certainly some politically incorrect material in there that I can see being removed from the Network. Blu-rays are just down to the big four PPVs at the moment - I can't see there being any demand for 4K in the future.

On a related note, I'm surprised there have been no AEW DVD/Blu-Ray releases in the UK. Everyone I know that's watched AEW PPVs is through a stream.

Went for a poke around the big geeky second-hand emporium the other day and got some Monster Hunter bargains:



One of those books was less than a tenner, the other was less than a pound.

The little plushies were super cheap. I don't even know if I was charged properly, because I walked away with both of them, a third little digimon as a gift for a pal, and a big bag of sweets for the equivalent of a fiver.

New VITA game in 2021, which I backed on KS instead of getting via PlayAsia like a lot of these EastAsiaSoft games.

Tits.

That is definitely an art style.

I keep meaning to buy some of those MH Artwork books, that ChaCha plush is nice as well.

Went to look at a car today booked an appointment etc like you need to do at the moment in some places. Anyway got there looked at the car, asked if I could take it out to be told can't because not enough time till next appointment.

As you can guess I didn't buy a car that I couldn't test drive and this was a 1.5hr drive there then back again, so I went into the local town as thought got to make this trip worthwhile


Wasn't a total waste of most of the day as Haunting Ground is very neat, but I could have spent the 5hrs at home playing Nier or something instead.

My latest stuff. No Straight Roads looked pretty smart for a tenner brand new, and the three PS2 games cost just a few quid. The Weakest Link was for pure nostalgia (and in excellent condition considering it only cost me just over two quid on Amazon), and then the others were bought on their release days.

I did buy Res Evil Village standard version on Xbox, I was sent the Lenticular Sleeve version for PS5. I ordered from GameByte who I tried to contact before the dispatched on Tuesday when it was processing, I've not heard a thing that I sold it on eBay and got what I paid for it back.

Did however go into town today and the CEX must have had someone come in with a game collection as they had retro systems, collectable Wii games like Radiant Dawn & Xenoblade, same for PS2 stuff like Haunting Ground & Project Zero.

Which meant I got some games


They had more PSP stuff as well such as all the Final Fantasy games, which I already own and the PS2 stuff was very tempting, but I just went for the one super expensive game.

I pre-ordered this in August of last year after seeing it mentioned somewhere, probably on twitter. I preceded to completely forget about it.
Then I got an email last month saying its on the way; nice little surprise. A week later, I get an email saying its been delayed until June or July or something. A few days later I get an email saying it would be here on Monday. Then on Sunday it arrived. Excited to give it a read.

I also picked up a copy of Super Princess Peach, which I've been meaning to play for . . . decades.

Ooh, interested in the words in that! / Do let us know how it is, and if it makes you weepy like it probably would make me.

[Laughs.]

Can anyone teach me the PS5 Club Secret Handshake, please?

There's no handshake, just a secret club where we laugh at people posting in forums about "f*#@ing scalpers taking all the consoles".
