After searching on-and-off for over a decade, I am now the proud owner of Final Fantasy VII on the PS1. Only cost me $35 too! I'm currently laughing like a maniac. :tup
Cool! Are they usually expensive? I've had my copy since the day it was released (or at least about a year after it was released).

Generally speaking, FF7 seems to be relatively pricey. I'd never seen it for sale as low as $35 before personally, at least. About to play it right now.
I sold my copy a year ago for $20. That's what it was averaging on Ebay at the time.

Bought Resident Evil on PS4. It's a lot of fun to revisit and it looks really great! I was mad though that they dropped the music in the dining room. That was intense music

I'm surprised that original copies of FFVII are still selling for quite a lot, given that it's now available on Steam and PS4. There's plenty of opportunity for people to play it.

That's a fair point, but for me, there's something to be said about owning a physical copy. Plus I don't own a PS4 (yet), so it kinda had to be the original PS1 version.

Huh. Honestly, I normally don't look at Ebay anyway, so there you go.

I will say though that I'm personally satisfied with what I got and for the price I got it for. I'd personally never seen it for sale at that low a price before myself and it's in surprisingly great condition for being roughly seventeen-to-eighteen years old. Just a few scratch marks on the case and some visual aging on the manual. All things considered, I'm a happy customer.

There's a loooooooot of games that are hugely expensive to get a physical copy of, even though it might cost a fraction of that to download from somewhere else. It's a real shame too for collectors like me. :(

I'm just keeping my Gamecube for Resident Evil 4 which I have - some Zelda games and Twilight Princess - which I can't find for a decent price under £50 it seems.

When I bought Twilight Princess a while back now, I couldn't find it in Australia for under $100. But I always buy my games from the UK, because it's cheaper and we're the same region. I managed to score it for about $75, which was cheap.

I know some people get wet over Majora's Mask but I thought Twilight Princess was better. I even enjoyed it more than Ocarina Of Time.

Twilight Princess is easily my second favourite Zelda game, behind Ocarina of Time. I have never been able to get into Majora's Mask despite numerous attempts.

I found Twilight Princess to be a bit too easy and kind of old hat compared to some of the other games. When I lost a save file due to the Sky Cannon room bug and I was able to get back to that point in only 6 hours from resetting I felt that the game lacked any sort of real challenge. Also they screwed up Zant's character so bad by the time you fought him.

Just finished Bayonetta 2 for the first time. This game blew me away even more than its predecessor. It's pretty much the definition of badass.

Sry for double post but I just saw this nice showcase/trailer for the one game I logged the most hours in ever. I keep coming back to this game because I constanly get reminded that there's nothing like Arma out there, not even close to it.

Hey if you enjoyed Op. Flashpoint: DR you should definitly check out Arma 3 which is made by the folks of the original Op. Flashpoint series before codemaster took over it.

lol fantastic

Gave a quick play to Battlefield Hardline Beta last night.  Didn't play enough to form a strong opinion yet, but first impressions were that I liked the feel of it better than Battlefield 4.  Just seemed more fluid when moving around and whatnot, but I'm really starting to see why people said it is more of a DLC than a stand alone game, because it really doesn't seem like anything different.  Graphics are beautiful as expected.  I need to play more before I say this game is worth the full price though.  I was planning on getting it but Im debating now since why spend the money when I still play BF4 a lot.

I'm not a huge fan of that sort of game style, but it is well done, and if you are even somewhat of a SP fan it is a must play.

Coincidence. I actually picked up The Stick Of Truth a few days ago as well when I saw it was finally half price.  :lol After all those delays over the years and then waiting basically another year for a price drop, I'm soooo ready to finally play this.

NEED ADVICE!!

My Wii U game pad's acting up and I wanna get it serviced as it's under warranty. I know how to wipe the browser history clean and stuff like that but would y'all feel completely safe letting a stranger have access to a device you'd used almost every day to do online banking, email, facebook, etc?

Basically, do y'all trust that the regular browser/cache erasing procedures do so in a manner to where no one can access your personal info like logins, passwords, PINs, etc?

Im not familiar at all with the Wii U game pad, but are your passwords saved on the device, like do you need to login when you access your bank info?  If so then id feel safe because they wont know your password, but if everything is set to auto login, I could see some concern.

The history/cache clearing thing removes auto-saved passwords. I just wanna be sure there's no lingerig means for someone to hack any of my accounts.

I just finished playing Assassins Creed Rogue. My only complaints are that the story was too short and the ending was super anti-climatic. Otherwise, decent addition to the series. The best Assassins Creed games that I've played are Black Flag and Brotherhood. I need a PS4 so I can play Unity. Anyone played that one? How does it fare compared to Rogue?

After throwing my hands up in disgust with how the story and some gameplay elements went in 3, I skipped a few releases.

Picked up Unity, and it became the first game I ever returned same week.

Beautiful game of course, but the movement and mechanics gets worse it seems with every damned AC game. I don't know how that is. The cherry on top was when it became the first game/anything to fully freeze my PS4.

Not saying it's a bad game, but AC is very large and immersive, and I like to play through it a lot, and to do that I need to be happy with those basic things.

I hear you, and actually you nailed what I didn't enjoy about AC III
