Default Re: Last CE/LE/SE you purchased or got

During my vacation bought the MGS4 limited edition (US version) Death Smiles Limited Edition, Tron Collectors Edition with the LE controller and the God of War Ultimate box.
This week received the Resistance Press kit and the press kit of Chains of Olympus.

Wow! Did you send it out for grading yourself? I have been collecting Gi Joe for some years, but grading was wat to expensive for me because I live in Europe.
Wonder what it would cost for a game like this.
This is my first graded game, I purchased it from someone in the USA and had him send it to VGA to save shipping cost to both of us.

I haven't seen a graded copy one eBay yet so don't know how much they go for, but your right the grading process is not cheap.

For more information on VGA and photos of more VGA graded games, look at SGH.

I had a great time there. Have seen alot of gameshops (most of them were Gamestops, almost on every corner.) Didn't have more room in my suitcase. Even had to leave some old clothes (bought alot new clothes) to get everything in there lol.

Not the best pictures:






It's a nice controller, especially with the Collectors Edition of the game.

Yup, that sounds about right. Where I live, there are three GameStops within a 2-mile radius. Insane.

I've been to California, but are Gamestops nation wide? There must be alot of shops then.

Also visited Gamedude, lovely store and never seen so much second hand stuff. Wish we had shops like that here in Holland.

Yes, Gamestop stores in the U.S. are everywhere like McDonald's. They are nationwide and also global:

And since Gamestop storefronts tend to be smaller than a lot of retail stores, I guess it's very easy to start up these businesses. It's no wonder why so many have sprung up over the years.
