Buy games everyday

Did a lot of thrifting online last time was ill a lot in early januray so I havn't gone thrift in the wild that much, When I did finally get out it seemed like the thrift had been sat on the shelf waiting for me £1 each for these PS1 games to add to the collection.
After finding all them in dove house I hit up a red cross charity shop that had four of the professor laton games for £2 each, You do see a lot of puzzle and brain teasers for DS lots of them not really worth having,  These ones are more sort after.
Romancing the stone and Jewl of the nile, worth about £5 on ebay but got it to watch on abit of an 80's kick think its because I caught king solomans mines the other day, and lego battles on DS for £2 in the same red cross.


In random second hand shop I found R-Type in the box for £5, Good price about £12 worth of game depending on condistion, That shop always has boxed gameboy games in, Some collector is always selling them, and they are always marked up at reasonable prices.

In cash convertors, Avatar the legend f Aang for 59p and Soul Calibur 2 on the gamecube for 99p, Its supricing to see Soul Calibur 2 on cube so cheap most of the time its £7.99 or £12.99 because of link on the front cover not dount.

Couple of thrift bytes classic pick ups here £1 each for Cash bandicoot and Tekken 5, The CEX price for Crash is still £2 cash £3 trade, and tekken is down to £1.50 cash £2 trade, Both still sell for £5+ on ebay so still worth picking up.

Dove house this time and Super Mario sunshine, Now most of the time anything mario in charity shops pawn shops tat shops anywhere they are going to make it in at a premium, So my shock and suprice to find a £1 stick on the back, Wow, Best price I have every bought this game for what a buy.

£1 each gets me Silent hill 2 and silent hill the room, Silent hill 2 is fully complete including the sticker, I found out about it a while back and have had a few copys with it in, Theres even one stuck to the back of my old laptop.





So after I get back from thrifting I had a bit of a sort out and decided these would get traded in, So £11 worth of games, CEX gave me store credit of £21.70, more then double my money, Sweet, So I had a look if there was anything good I wanted in CEX.
Ended up getting Elder scolls III morrowind and Yakuza 2, Really liking the Yakuza series of late, kicked back off with me picking up and playing number 4 the other week so I am trying to get them all back, number 2 seems to be going up in price.


This weeks Thats entertainment order, FFX, Dragon quest 7, Yakuza, Crash 1, Dark Alliance 2, Mega drive collection (PSP), Really good lot of games £1.99 each, I opened FFX and there was a receipt from block buster dated 12/06/08 only paid £3.99 for 2008 that's thrifty.

And 50p each on these original xbox games, Don't mind picking up xbox games as long as there decent titles and cheap, These 3 tick both them boxes, Mite Give Sega GT 2002 ago and see how it sacks up I loved that game.
Another copy of rome total war this time for 50p in pretty much the same con as the last copy near mint with the map and everything with it, It doesn't sell for much on ebay about £3 plus postage but that's profit and easy feedback still not to be sniffed at.
Naturally I have being playing Resident evil HD remaster on the PS4, I love what they have done to it, I loved this game on the GameCube and even played it on the Wii, All I can say is Its is a sad state of affairs when the only game worth playing on the current gen of consoles is a HD Update of a 2002 remake of a 1996 Classic, Resident evil is a great game but a 14 year old game shouldn't Overshadow every other major release on the main consoles of 2015, Maybe its testament to how good the resident evil remake is, Just think its time to stop making games for the average Joe smuck and start making them for the gamers again, It seems that lots of video game developers are sitting on franchise that people are crying out to bring back, But does not use them because there to busy pleasing the everyman, They should start making games for gamers again, Like resident evil a game that started as survival horror, And by the time resident evil 6 came out it was an full blown action game, If anything Resent evil HD remind us all that there was a reason people liked the game in the first place don't go changing it to please COD heads, and FIFA cunts, Here hoping it sells well and they mite have a stab at updating resident evil 2 in the same fashion, Gaming is slowly going in the Right directions tho, Yakuza 5 is getting a digital release, Sony giving sega a hand with that, (Shenmue 3 next then) and in a time of kick starter's and digital downloads shouldn't most games be localised? More franchises bought back from the dead? 
More stuff of thats entertainmet FFX, Resident evil outbreak file 2, Crash bandicoot wrath of cortex and Grandia 2, All £1.99 each 

Round carboot and the only thing I found was CD folder, I can always do with them to put unboxed games in this one was full of random so-so ps1 games £3 it cost me I should of haggled for a bit less but first thing in a morning I just paid her to see what was in it.
Last up is the Street fighter anniversary collection, This features the fully updated Hyper street fighter Anniversary edition, The street fighter animated movie and Street fighter 3rd strike, This came out on PS2 as well but is missing 3rd strike, So the Xbox version is th one to have, And only £3 in CEX what the hell, I would of expected them to price this up at £12 or there abouts what a steal.

I will leave you with one of the best results I have had on the resi remake in a while, And another reason why updating resident evil for modern consoles was such a good idea its giving everyone the speedrun bug to jump up them online leader boards, Right am of to try and doing it knife only, Tell next time Thrift it up.
