You think that's consumer whorism? I paid like £70 for the Japanese metallic red and gold NES version one at launch
I've played nothing but KotOR, and I have gotten my money's worth, I think.
I dunno if that's how they're doing it up here but I did see some pretty cheap 360 games, so maybe
nothing there really grabbed me, though
I was gonna get Arcana Heart until I saw they were selling brand new micros for 30 bucks
So much money.
Rock Band for £133? SURE! GTA IV special edition (because it's all you can pre-order now) for £70? WHY NOT!?
£200 on two games, and the first one isn't even out until the 29th:(
We got a nice used one of them at my store and it was $25 or $30 so I put it in the back to buy it later and then another employee stole it and there was no way for me to prove it wasn't me (or that it was me), but it wasn't me and I was pretty mad because I wanted it : (
That was pretty whorish, I think.
It has the neat HAPPY MARIO 20TH logo on the back, and the box was great too.
Sigh, I'm a fucking nerd.
I was hoping they had some of those left, but no luck
I have a lovely pink faceplate on mine, it's got a ladybug on it!
But that has more to do with my slavish devotion to that series than consumerism
my devotion to BioWare is why I'm buying something I would otherwise have no interest in
a Sonic RPG
:whistle:
AIM: Yarrfooey
do it
never
I know something you want that isn't on that wishlist
and someday I will get it for you
1. The CD
2. The Vinyl
3. The songbook, so I can learn the parts that drive my soul crazy
4. The magazines that have related reviews, and interviews.
A new band release means four weeks of work and spending money for me. When Napalm Death and Naglfar came out with new cd's the same month, there was no time for sleeping.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
that list isn't finished
i just got bored of clicking on "add to wishlist" for 20 minutes
it's not on amazon anyways
:!!:
why aren't you on AIM so i can bug you more
at work
tell them you need a raise because you have to buy me stuff
they'll understand
I told them and they said no dice.
so I said this aint over.
Going to have to buy some new work shoes tomorrow as mine were ruined today by paint.
With that not being the case, I don't have much to contribute.
i bought new all stars for $30, some nike boots and a pair of crazy adidas runners for like $20
also there's h&m now in vancouver and holy shit it's been so long i spent $200
i might buy eye of judgment or ratchet and clank too because games here are so cheap
and beer! granville island 12 packs are on special for fourteen bucks at the liquor store down the road
In terms of needless money spending, recently I've been on a big DVD kick, because I want all my favorite movies at my fingertips when I want to watch them. Why are DVDs so goddamn expensive?
Among my purchases was this new toner; I normally don't use it but I decided to buy one either way. Good grief, do they all smell like rummy demon vomit?
I have to stop myself from drinking it every morning
Because they can get away with it. After all, you're still buying a ton, despite their high price.
That's straight up economics, son.
What brand? I'm thinking of returning the one I bought tomorrow - it smells like alcohol and dentist.
