Decided not to get the Wii so I had 7 wii games that would be useless to me so I could either sell them on ebay which would take a lot of effort and time which I don't have with uni so only option was to take them to EB For 7 games I got $150 in store credit which is low and I worked out that I spent about $250 buying them. It was stupid of me to buy them without having the console first. Lesson learnt. Reason I am not getting a wii is I have decided instead to get a the new PS3 slim model instead And I don't want all 3 im pretty sure that earns you an official mega nerd title Not that there is anything wrong with that *looks around at angry nerd mob ready to kill me* Hey look a shiny console! -Runs away just in time-

In other news Uni really sucks the big one I am just about ready to quit! The last two weekends I had to do 6 hours of non stop math tasks and this weekend I doubt will be much different Also I really wanted to see Ponyo tonight as I am a huge studio ghibli fan but my backwards town doesn't have it showing for some reason. I can't wait for mid semester holidays! just a few more weeks and I get a 2 week holiday I will be able to get my hair done, go shopping, hang with my old high school friends who I literally haven't seen in months (thank the lord for facebook as sad as that sounds ) oh and of course play games can't forget that .

What are you all up to for the weekend?

$150 isn't bad, I figured you would have gotten less. Gamestop seems to be greedy when it comes to trading in games.
I think the ps3 is a better choice. I want the slim one, maybe I'll get it eventually. Wow that really sux, they should at least let you get a break from that, even if it is a little break. That 2 week break sounds good, I hope you enjoy it.

@2ndWonder :On ebay I could have gotten about $180 after fees are taken out but yeah I wouldn't have the time to post them I'd have to get my mom to send them while I was away at uni and if I sold them individually that's 7 games and that would probably just confuse her too much But yeah $150 is not bad I realise they have to make their profit so I didn't take that much of a hit compared to what I could have made I guess Yes I despise math we have to do these assignments every single week >_>

I definitely understand. Uni takes up almost ALL of my time. I also thought you would get less money than that... So... bonus for you! I like your excessive use of emoticons in this blog. It made my day looking at them all!

@Jessicasagitta :You're a female right? So surely you understand my need to use emoticons at least once per sentence.... see couldn't even hold out just that once I wonder if they hold meetings for this kinda thing?

I am, as we speak at the pool with my wife, it's 4:39 PM. The weather is excellent, all is good!

@clubhaxor Yes I am a female and so I DEFINITELY understand the need for emoticons. I was just surprised that's all You'll find there is probably a self-help group out there for emoticon-troubled teens. Maybe I should join as well!

@leeveeu : Oh nice it's starting to get hotter here it's winter at the moment/almost spring but it's definitely been summer weather for the past week! So weird :S In short, I am jealous My parents were going to build a pool a few years ago but the council banned them getting built due to water shortage :'(

@Jessicasagitta : Yes you should join and we can be support buddies hehe. Ok I WILL NOT use any more emoticons in this post....

I wanted the slim as well, but people are hating on how it looks. Sheesh, you aren't taking it to a beauty contest. But, I couldn't do that to my Wii stuff.

@MistressMinako :I think the slim looks heaps better than the old one! Well, I liked how the old one was shiny but it was just waaay too bulky so I can live without the shininess in exchange for that.

I know people who gave away even more games and got again less money. I'm also planning to buy a PS3 but I want the shiny one the slim just isn't my style but I will see which I will get I'm still at high school and it starts in two days after 3 months of holidays I hate it

well have fun

PS3 and Wii are on the same level for me... extremely low number of exclusive games I want... can't justify the extravagance... I am disappointed that you'd trade in games...

I WAS thinking about getting a PS3 Slim, but I'm happy with my Wii right now. I don't blame you for trading in games that are gonna be worthless to you anyway...

As for my weekend plans, I went to a football game yesterday, now I'm chillin' at home, and tomorrow I have to work....

You should never turn in games to EB or Gamestop, they wont give you jack for your games where as on ebay you could have gotten full price for each one. At least your getting a PS3 slim though, great system by the way. And so your saying im a mega nerd eh? *lights torch and grabs pitchfork*

@waflerevolution : Yeah yeah just don't tell the rest of the union on me I might sell my 360 just yet maybe my brother will buy it and I won't have that feeling like it's always going to die on me or that I've left the vacuum on Can the CCU step in before my whole collection is gone? hehehe @undergroundfrog : I knew you'd be in here and I just loved your reaction LMAO!

I traded in ~28 games last week to a local store because I came to the realization that don't need games I didn't like or games I keep telling myself I'll play, when I probably won't. I have a large enough collection that I don't feel the need to pad it out anymore. I'll still take chances on games once in awhile, but if I feel I don't like them very much then I might sell them.

Enjoy your shiny new system!

@usagi704 : Yeah I keep buying games that I never play so I need to slow down and keep the collection to a reasonable size/spending limit. Thanks I think I will enjoy it

ugh... you win.

You should have seriously sold them on Craigslist or eBey.

EB games will rob you.
