Atari Games!!

Picked up 6 Atari 2600 games from Cash Converters today! I asked how much they wanted for them and the guy said, "How much you gonna give me?"
"One dollar a piece", "You can have all six for five bucks"

Nice!



Also, in Wii homebrew news, BJ (bjblaster.com) and I have been experimenting with WiiGator's backup loader. Hopefully in the next few days, I will be able to put a decent guide up on the main site!(fusion.homedns.org)

Garage Sale Bargains: Episode 4

Well, I must attract these things. Another SNES for a mere $5, bringing the total now to 6! There were 10 Garages on sale today and this is all we came away with. The only other things to be seen were a couple of Xbox's, one of them was labeled "New! Never Used $150" and the other had an $80 sticker slapped on it.
I'm still looking forward to when someone has an old Xbox and they just scribble "360" next to it, to see if they get a big sale.

Garage Sale Bargains: Episode 3

Grabbed another bargain just one day later, a PSX for $5. Nice. It also came with a wireless controller setup, which was good because I've had a wireless controller of the same brand kicking around for ages with no main unit. So now I have the main unit and 2 wireless controllers. The wireless setup doesn't work with the PSone due to the rounded front. But if someone (me) wanted to make an in-car Playstation with wireless controllers, a dremel tool might do the trick!
