GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Monday, Mar 2, 2009

Well, I found ebay! And I discovered the inherent addiction on the act of searching for things you don't quite need by you want to own to feed consumerism. Just searching for items and comparing the prices kinda fills my wallet-emptying desires.

So the thing is, there's a lot of games I never got to play or own back in the day, and there's lots of great business oportunities on ebay.

So this is to me an opportunity to get some cheap good games for the Xbox, since the 360 has backwards compatibility with most xbox games, and most of them are being neglected by gamers eager to get rid of them and earn some bucks.

I recently got Mortal Kombat Deception for the Xbox, I loved it on the ps2 but since I don't have a working ps2 no more I wanted to add it to my collection, and while wandering around here on gamespot I remembered that I always wanted Mortal Kombat Armageddon but I never got a hold of it and it is nowhere to be found where I live. so that took my ebay virginity. This must be how my sister feels when she's at the mall

I always wanted Guilty Gear X2 #Reload but it's 15€ on XBL, and it's not available on my zone either, so I got it for 10€ (5€+5€ for shipping). then I found what's the use of the Wishlist on gamespot, and I looked for Unreal Championship 2, and bough it!

Yesterday a friend of mine that's conveniently working on GAME (that's BelzebuVlad, add him!) texted me saying he had Halo triple pack for 9,99€ and Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) for 4,99€!! so I got those as well!

A good sense of opportunity, some good friends and a money-spending beast inside me just enlarged my game collection for good. BUT...I just started the second semester of my second year at the university, and there's also resident evil 5 on the horizon...

That's it for this blog, I'm having Methods of Multimedia Conception and I'm bored. How are YOU?

THAT is to be wise! I don't have money to buy anything as you know,
but since there's people kind enough to borrow their paypal account...so I owe you, literally and on the monetary sense lol
Hey I just finished darkness, great ending, and the credits' song...IS BEAUTIFUL! I didn't know that Mike Patton did not only provide voice acting but also a song from Tomahawk, you should finish it as well, it is really worth it!

I try to stay away from the likes of ebay im a sucker for owning a new game and not a 2nd hand on but I must say my curiosity gets the better of me and I have a little look and there is plenty of great deals to be had on there. Im lucky enough that both my brother and I can buy games together in the sense he'll get one then i'll get another. This wont work for RE5 as I've been ordered to pick up his copy aswell as my own. And with having a full time job and still living at home I have enough cash to play with. But that said I am always on the look out for a bargin.

Hi Jo!!! why are you going to buy a re5 for you and another for your brother?? you play in the same console? oh, do you know what? the 360 doesnt read xbox originals with another region's code :S I'm thinking of doing "illegal" things with my 360 to play these 3 xbox games...damn micro$oft. also Im gonna tell you a "trick". call the xbox360 support, the accessories option, then tell them your wireless controller has a button that doesn't work no more, and they'll probably send you a new one! it has been working with people I know, with me it didnt work cause the controller only has a year warranty and it has expired!

I have a 360 and so does my bro so we need 2 copies or there will be fights. I have mine preordered however and he doesnt and expects me to be able to buy 2 copies of the game. Does he not realise I only get an hour lunch. haha Ahh I see the 'illigal' things your on about, I was pondering doing the same to my PSP *shhhh* but decided against it because I dont know what im doing and dont want to break it.

I know! I'm also worried about having my warranty screwed, or breaking something, and also because they want me to pay 40€ :S
Hey I went to see watchmen yesterday, and though there are noticeable cuts from the graphic novel, and the climax is kinda rushed it serves it's point and the movie is good!!
