You have FOUR controllers now?

Yeah had BB match Amazon prices. I used the last of my BB credit and paid ~$20 (after tax). I have 7-8 PS3 controllers. Blue, Red, White, MLB The Show controller (had to buy a 2nd after the 1st broke), and the rest were Black (that came with systems).

I thought you said the Amazon price was third party?

Why do you need so many controllers?

Continuing my addiction to the PS4.

 

I have three of those four (black, white, blue). Not a big fan of camo so I didn't pick that one up. Really wishing they'd release the magma red DS4 here in the states already.

I couldn't find the ones sold by Amazon till later. Those say you have to put in cart before showing prices but on the phone, you just need to click a box and the price comes up on the page. I don't need them...why it's an addiction.

edit: I've also used the grips since they came out (early PS3 days). I got used to them that I need them for the PS4. It helps me with the timing of my swings on MLB The Show.

So I wanted to post in the 2014 thread a few months back, but I felt like I was way to late in the game to post (I easily bought 50+ gaming related items in 2014). That being said, I'll be participating in the 2015 thread. Here's 4 purchases I've made this month.

A handful of digital pickups this week. Steam had a sale on some LEGO games for $5 each, so I picked up LEGO The Hobbit, LEGO The Movie Videogame, LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes and LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4. I also picked up Resident Evil on the PS4.

Fan of the LEGO game series much?

Haha. I've actually only played two of them (LEGO Marvel Super Heroes and LEGO City Undercover) and just started LEGO Batman 3 yesterday. I've always wanted to get more and it was an easy excuse with them being 75% off on Steam and me having $20 in my Steam wallet. They are a lot of fun.

Forgot to buy GTA games when they were on sale a week or two ago. I decided to get FarCry 4 @ the $40 price point and used $20 savings for a PSN card. More games I'll start and never finish (never have finished a GTA game).

Picked up some stuff on Steam during their weekend Square Enix sale. Tomb Raider (2013), Battlestations Midway, Battlestations Pacific, Just Cause, Just Cause 2 (includes all DLC), Hitman: Codename 47, Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, Hitman: Contracts, Hitman: Blood Money, Hitman: Absolution (includes all DLC) and Hitman: Sniper Challange.

All for $19.

I'm glad I don't PC game anymore...Steam would make me go broke and fill my HD up in a day.

How is the Just Cause series, anyway?

Ha yeah. On the plus side my full price gsme purchases have come down since I started PC gaming.

2 is fantastic. I have not played one, though.

From the videos I've seen, the gameplay reminds me of Far Cry.

Picked it up today for $8 (BB DOTD). I already own 1&3 and got them for <$10 each, so I thought I would finish the collection. This is the only GH version but I don't care about that since I throw away most boxes.

Technically this is a gaming pick up. It is game related. I remember back when I was listening to podcaats it seemed all of them raved about this book. I finally bought it.
