Look what I got for 85 DVDS!

Thanks to Blockbuster's $8 DVD trade-in a few weeks ago, I managed to pick up quite a few things.


Since the picture was taken, I have added quite a few more games, especially with Blockbuster's "trade in 3, get 1 for $10" promo...
I now have a Gamecube, and enough credit for an X-Box, DS, and a used GBA SP, along with all of the PS2, X-Box, GameCube, and GBA games listed, as well as The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time on N64, and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages on GBC:

Many of them cost me less than $8, and many more were titles that I wanted to "upgrade" with double-dips.

I got rid of a lot of snappers that have been rereleased in keepcases, like the first two Austin Powers films, etc.

I also traded a bunch that I just didn't care for, such as The 13th Warrior, Stakeout, Another Stakeout, Grosse Pointe Blank, etc.

Dang, looks like a hot deal, was there a thread in here on this? So you got $8 per DVD regardless of what DVD? 8*85 = 680.

I just got $154 credit so since my XBOX is old I guess I'm getting a second/backup XBOX once they get in. All the stores in the South Bay are out of them till Wed.

Sorry, I should have added, IMO. I can't stand turn based RPG's like Final Fantasy, etc. Jak and Viewtiful are both good. Give me a good hack-n-slash any day.

Oh, it just always seems like I see you getting excited about Xbox games that are coming out, but maybe it's just the threads I read.

I don't know if that's true - I was bitching about Halo2 before it came out.
