What's Your Biggest Gaming Get?

[wraggster]

Pull up a chair, pour yourself a drink. No. Pour yourself two or three drinks. It's time for TELL US DAMMIT. Here's how it works: We ask a question, you answer it. Simple and no strings attached! This isn't some marketing survey or whatever. It's an emotional investment in you. Yes, we're interested in knowing you, Kotaku reader person. You probably know ****tons about us — more than you even want to, we're sure. But, hey, we'd like to know about you. That way you won't be some faceless blob — and we might feel a tinge of guilt when we ban your ass. Or not, because really we're incapable of human emotion. Who knows!

Question: What is your biggest gaming get? What is the best deal you've got on a game purchase?

I got the only known copy of Speedster II to ever have been put into circulation for free. It was being thrown away at an auction I was at. Saw the Jaguar strapped to the inside of one of those little kiddy rides and decided to pull the cart out. Didn't know what it was at the time, but the guy there said I could have it for having helped him move some machine earlier. Turns out they sell for 300-500 USD.



Definetly my biggest gaming get.

Back in the day I got a snes for around 600 mexican pesos (10 mexican pesos = 1 dollar) back then they were going for around 1200 mexican pesos, at least here in my city

Another one
my broken 360 at least here I got it cheap, cause here they're going for 4600 mexican pesos (460 bucks, yes I know it is a stupidly high price but the worst part is that is true). Well I got it in exchange for my phat psp and 50 bucks for the repair

i just buy the consoles and mod them to get the games for free, but i bought an atari 2600 with 8 games and 2 joysticks for less than 10 USD a few years back they're really expensive now. .

I don't think I've gotten a good deal on any games. Well, about a year ago, I got a dreamcast and about 40 games, for less than $100.

But my favorite thing involving games I ever did was, a few summers ago, I bought a game in the beginning of summer. Then every week, I would go back to gamestop, a trade it for another. It was like having unlimited one week rentals all summer long.
