Mother of gods, just got a text from Parcel Motel to inform me that one yesterday mornings purchases has been delivered to my friendly neighbourhood Parcel Motel!

There's something quantum about it all, I'm sure of it!

You can thank Royal Mail more that Parcel Motel really. Anything I've ordered from the UK takes at least a week via the An Post route and 2 -3 days via Parcel Motel so its actually worth the premium if speed delivery is needed.

Very jelly, only got the loose versions :mad:

Yeah they're basically pornographic, I couldn't refuse. I only bought them for the articles though

Got this at a car booty yesterday for the pricey sum of €3. He was looking for a fiver but I managed to haggle him down

Shenmue has never looked so good

Picked up a Sega ST-V with Die Hard Arcade from the Mitch man.

Now just have to hunt down a Souky cart

Had the pleasure of playing STV Sheinryu recently, excellent game and worth picking up if you can.

First n64 game I've bought in about 5 years! Kinda want to get the collection out of storage.

Not a good game to get the PAL version of. It's incredibly fast meaning it's more severley affected by PAL slowdown than other games. I need to get it in NTSC myself.

Never heard of that one. Just had a look on youtube, very Raiden-esque! Will definitely pick that up

I was thinking that myself! The collector in me bought it, couldn't say no to a complete boxed version for a tenner.

Got loads of games today in Smyths.

Blast works on Wii
Golden Sun Dark Dawn on DS
Warioware D.I.Y on DS
Resident Evil Revelations on 3DS

All of these brand new for the gargantuan price of € 20.98 happy days:D

Picked up a copy of Resident Evil myself courtesy of your notification here, nice one

For those interested in a size comparison (mainly because I had it in my head that ST-V carts were really small)

Andrew76

Speaking of sizes, is the GBA cart the smallest game media there's been? Actually no, the DS cart is smaller. Or is there another cart smaller again?

Pokemon mini carts are minuscule!

Vita games are very small. Wonderswan games as well would be smaller than GBA game carts.

Game.com carts are pretty tiny too. Not sure if theyre as small as all this modern flash based stuff but they were particularly small when they came out.

Maybe ngage game cards?

TBH probably sticking this guy up for trade, as I'm not really a SNES person lately (I have been thinking about getting the NES collection going again though.

Nice to get it with the case, I've seen plenty of loose discs out there.

The last time I commented on charity shops I was abused by a random forum surfer person...
So no comments this time!

Charity shop hunts aren't for everyone, quality tends to be lacking, and of course the smell generally puts people off, luckily enough I've found some mint items on my hunts, plus my poor sinuses are a bonus !!!

Typically I only find Fifa and other tripe for the PS2.
I haven't been to the Sunday Markets in while though, next dry Sunday I'll head up.

Was at one Sunday gone, what a waste.... however, bright side, popped into Steve Si on the way home and bagged JAP Dreamcast games D2 and Maken X !!!

I did find a MD II for a fiver a few weeks ago. Have it lined up for a rags to riches project!

The arcade stick for the Wii arrived, all for a tenner, including Parcel Motel stay.
And what's it like for a tenner? I hear one or two of you ask, not bad, not great either mind.
The stick seems quite loose, you can move it quite a bit before it clicks and registers the action but, get used to that, and it's serviceable.
I'm damn sure it's not a patch on the official stick but it'll do til find one
