Retro game purchases in January 2020

M retro purchases for the month started on the 6th when I got two sets of Donkey Konga Bongos  from a charity shop for £5 each, I already have one set, wasn't sure if the game even allows for 3 players or if its 2 player only as its years since I've played it but figured id like them.

on the 8th I got two Xbox 360 slim's with all wires and power supplies but no pads one with a 250gig hardrive and one with a 320gig hardrive for £40. Unfortunatly one of the power supplies turned out to be a dud. I decided to keep the 320gig one for myself as a spare and im giving the other to my girlfriends niece and nephews with the working power supply as soon as a pad is sorted for it.

On the 9th I got a good little charity shop haul I got
Ni no Kuni complete for PS3 £1
Mirrors edge for Xbox 360 complete for 50p
Mine craft missing manual for Xbox 360 £3
Skyrim complete for Xbox 360 for 50p
Far cry 3 complete for Xbox 360 for £1
Saints row 4 complete for Xbox 360 for 50p
Terraria missing manual for Xbox 360 for 50p
Devil may cry 4 complete for Xbox 360 for £1

Xbox live arcade compilation disc sealed complete for Xbox 360 for £1.50
007 agent under fire missing manual for Xbox for £1
and a Datel max memory ps2 memory card sealed for £2 
 
On the 12th I grabbed a loose Goldeneye N64 cart for £3, the shop had other N64 loose carts but they were all £30 or more none of which were really worth that much.

On the 13th I grabbed a few bits, I went in about 8 diffrent charity shops a lot of which had nothing but I managed to get...

Burnout Legends (platinum version) complete for PSP for £1
Prince of Persia Revelations complete for PSP for £1
Gran Turismo 5 complete for PS3 for 25p
Call of duty 4 complete for PS3 for 25p
and Metal Gear Solid 4 (platinum version) complete for PS3 for 25p

there were some 25p Wii stuff but the discs had been scratched across the floor so bad theyd be useless as anything but coasters luckily the PS3 discs are all clean as anything.

On the 21st I weirdly purchased a 3rd Xbox 360 for the month, I saw a pad in a charity shop in great condition and asked how much and it turned out to be with a 360 arcade unit with all its wires and a 60gig hardrive for £15 and I needed the pad so I grabbed it.

I went in a charity shop on the 22nd and got

Ratchet and Clank 3 complete for PS2 for 50p
Red faction 2 complete for PS2 for 50p
Hitman Absolution complete for ps3 for £1
A wired 360 after glow pad for £2
2 official 360 pads missing battery covers £4
Logitech 3rd party GameCube pad for £1 
 
Its funny how I couldnt get a pad for love nor money so ended up buying a machine then its raining pads days later. I suppose thats sods law.
 
On the 30th I got a few bits from a charity shop I got

Naruto Shippuden ultimate ninja storm revolution for ps3 complete for £1
And
Stars wars force unleashed 2 for Xbox 360 complete for £1 
 
I ended the month on the 31st by buying  a few bits from a pawn store I got

G-police for ps1 discs case and manual but missing front cover 50pence

David Beckham Soccer for ps1 boxed missing manual for 50p

The jungle book Grove party for ps1 complete for 50p

Pro wrestling powermove for ps1 complete for 50p

Dead or Alive 3 (classics version) for Xbox complete for 50p

The Bigs for Wii complete for 20p 
 
I spent £92.95 this month on old games if my maths is correctly. I think it is quiet a lot considering the stuff I got and ironically the thing I am most happy about getting is Pro Wrestling Powermove for 50p because I really love my wrestling, bit of a strange month though because a lot of it was focused around getting an Xbox 360 up and running for someone else instead on purly collecting.
