emwearz 2023 PickupsRunning Total: $308.18 AUD / $206.49USD
*all ebay prices include postage
Kinect Joy Ride (360) - $1.25AUD / $0.84USD via eBayJust another cheap and cheerful Kinect game that my 4year old son can have a crack at, get frustrate with and never play again. Parenting is a dream.
Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 (PS2) - $6.00AUD / $4.02USD via eBayI have always been a fan of the THPS games and other games like it. I played the first Mat Hoffman back in the day and I remember thinking it was just a clunkier version, however I picked up a copy last year and enjoyed my time with it, so I saw the sequel going cheap and have to pick it up.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 (PC) - $1AUD / $0.67USD via eBayI have been slowly picking up all the differant builds of the THPS games, I did a dummy $1 bid with free delivery and won.
Tomb Raider Underworld (360) - $2.25AUD / $1.51USD via eBayGodfall - IGNORE THIS, GOT IT FOR A FRIENDCall of Duty Modern Warfare Reflex Edition (Wii) - $1.25AUD / 0.84USD via eBayTekken 7 (PS4) - $4.00AUD / $2.68USD via Thrift StoreI had a really dry spell before and after this find, where I did not find anything in the wild for like 2 or 3 months, despite going 5 or 6 times a week. It happens.
Final Fantasy XVI (PS5) - $77.99AUD / $52.23USD via AmazonI don't really Pre-order, but I was really keen to get into FF16. The fact I got this on day 1, should show you how long it takes me to post pickups here. While it doesnt play like a FF game, the story, characters, etc. All feels very Final Fantasy, I found the game far more enjoyable once I realised playing with the 'rings' is pretty much easy mode, where it is really hard to take a hit, after that I found the step up in diffuclty really enjoyable, so if you are thinking of playing it, that would be my suggestion. From start to finish, I really enjoyed it, but I place it behind 15 myself, even though so many people did not enjoy 15, it still had that 'goofy' feel so many FF games have and 16 really too itself seriously.
Enter The Matrix (PS2) - $1.3AUD / $0.87USD via eBayLego Star Wars - The Skywalker Saga (Xbox One / Series) - $9.00AUD / $6.03USD via EB GamesA friend of mine gave me the heads up when he was at EB that these were on a managers special for $9 and picked one up for me. I have not had a chance to play it yet.
Kingdom Hearts 1.5HD + 2.5HD ReMix (PS4) - $17.95AUD / $12.02USD via eBayI had played through all the games in the series (other than the mobile phone games) other than Chain of Memories, I already own both 1.5HD and 2.5HD on the PS3, but I felt the PS4 version might just encourage me to play through CoM. So I finished, while still easily the weakest in the series, I am still glad I finished it just to feel I have completed them all.
Mortal Kombat (Vita) - $FREE AUD / USD via FriendI modded a friends Vita for him (which is the easiest system to mod), he had the cart in the slot, when I returned it he said keep it. Don't mind if I do.
More and more of my pickups are from eBay, finding stuff in the wild is increasingly hard, finding stuff that is not priced as "a vintage collectors item" is even harder. They still pop up, so I keep on it, if only for the thrill of the hunt.
