inexplicable thrifting

First pick ups run out this week and a really good one, Two copy's of GTA San Andreas, This game still has £2 trade left in it at CEX, I found these for £1 each, Knowing that I will want some credit for something in CEX at some point I double up on them.

Shadow of the Colossus turned up again, £1.99, this time without the book or the art cards, Complete this can run about £20 on eBay, With out the book and the cards lower, its a top up between eBay and the CEX price of £8 trade, when it is not complete.

Their is plenty of retro to be had in the wild at the moment, The only thing is pricing especially for console bundles, The arbitrarily price that most places are pulling out of thin air at the moment is £59.99, On occasion I have coughed up on this price, On mega drives with some mainly rarer games to recoup some of the cost.

So always check what games your getting with it and then do the maths, If you seen mega drive bundle with 2 copies of Sonic 2 and a few madden 93's in the mix, Mite not be worth £60 just to get that copy of zool and Global gladiators.

So I take a second run out, I have found that many different places to go thrifting, If I ever find myself with some time to go Game hunting, There is always one or two places on the list I haven't hit up that week.

This one age concern in particular made the whole thing worth my while, Yielding all the best stuff, Both Yu gi oh 2008 and 2009 on DS, sell for about £15 on eBay, £1.49 each, Godzilla unleashed for Wii witch I was unsure about has buy it now's around the £20 mark, Then to cap it all off Jurassic Park Operation genesis on PC that is pushing the £30 mark on eBay currently, I paid £1.49.

Four games I found on the fly covering the cost of everything else I bought that day and then going to bring in some extra cash to, Brilliant.



Finally got around to Forza 6 on the Xbox one, So this time around the controls feel just slightly improved over 5, breaking feels way better and its a close run thing weather I prefer this or GT6.

That itself is a testament to how great the to flagship racing games on both Sony and Microsoft's system fair, We have had tons of racers for the current gen out this year and last. 

Drive club, The Crew, Project cars, need for speed (again)
And they all seem to fall short, Compared to Forza, And GT6, The fact that Sony's offering is still on last generation hardware, GT7 will be coming to PS4 but you will have a bit of a wait. 

So in the meantime Forza 6 is king for current gen, It is fantastic though, If you like racing games all the fun to be had with that is right in this game, there is some cheeky DLC coming. 

but what do I care I Traded tony hawks 5 in for it at GAME, Got them to match CEX price of £25 Trade, The I had £3 on my reward card and it ended up been on sale for £35 so I paid £7, So I am pretty content to just play whats there on the disc for free.
