Too many stuff...

It has been over a month since the last post. So,how were your Thanksgiving for eating turkey and Black Friday for going out shopping?My Black Friday was great.This year, I went shopping online instead of going to the store in cold weather. The most stuff I bought on Black Friday from Amazon. They had a great sale for movies and video games.

The first item I bought on Black Friday was the new Xbox 360 core with Dance Dance Revolution 3 bundle from Amazon. Actually, I didn't plan to buy new Xbox 360 but with the $130(a famous glitch from Amazon) for a new Xbox 360 and game, I bought it without thinking because I need it to replace my old Xbox 360(non-HDMI port,read disc very noisy)


The funny thing was: when I opened the new Xbox 360, I searched around the box and couldn't find the 256MB Memory Card. After googling, I found out that the new Xbox 360 has 256MB of internal built-in storage and it is Jasper model(Mfr date: 2008-10-24).That is my 3rd Xbox 360. 2 are NSTC/UC version and one is NTSC/J.



Sorry, Lucky Star Xbox 360. You need to go.



A part of new Xbox 360 system, I get the new Japanese modded PS2. I download some torrent games and burn them on DVD and they work great. It helps me to play some expensive Jp games that I don't want to pay big money for them.Japanese games are sure expensive. Also got a new Samsung 1080p DVD Player to replace my Philip DVR 5982 which always has problem with my Westinghouse LCD.




Other "Otaku" stuff:

Animal Crossing City Folk Bundle,R-Type plus model,Eternal Poison plus art book,Rune Factory 2 plus plush. They were on sale from Amazon and MGS3,JetLi RoH from Goozex(100point/each).




Going shopping with my husband at Gamestop on Saturday last week when they had B2G1 free for used video games,accessories and I scored some rare and new games:



For Anime:

Thanks to the sale at Rightstuf. I was able to purchase full set of Oh! My Goddess Season 2. Death Note vol.5 and 6 for $12. Death Note Vol.4 LE and Naruto boxset 8 for $22. The only anime I paid full price was Lucky Star Vol.4 Limited Edition and I will pay full price for next volumes.



Blu-ray and the dead" HD-DVD" movies:



Ok, It's time for old myself (watch,play and have fun with Otaku stuff I purchased). Bye-nee.
Happy Holiday to you all.

A new desk

10/11/2008 will be the day which I will go to Vietnam,my original country for visisting my family then go to Japan so I still have 2 days left in America.
What I did last days:

My old workplace in my room was very horrible,it was so small and had a little room and hard to move body around so yesterday I went to Target and bought a new L glass desk. I am very happy with my new desk.







I put the Jp Xbox 360 on the table because I barely use it to play games. Some figures I put on the table are Haruhi,God Yurie,Latooni Subota. I still use the Westinghouse 19" LCD for my desktop and back to use the old wire mouse(my 2 wireless were broken).

My first time went shopping at Biglots and I was very suprised that they had a lot of good stuff for cheap price. I was able to get Angel Tales Vol.1 Box,Galaxy Angel Vol.1 LE Box,Yojimbo Complete for $10/each and Kodocha Vol.2 for $3. I also got Blue Dragon Vol.1,Strawberry Panic Vol.2,3, Death Note Vol.4 and 9 volumes of He-man,Shera sets which were on sale at Bestbuy.



Saying about Death Note, I got Death Note manga box set from Amazon. The box set is very awesome, it includes all 12 books and an extra book: How to read Death Note.

Thanks to a CAG member: Dv8mad "Your other man in Japan", I was able to get some great Japanese games


and more Eternal Sonata(Trusty Bell) game, Silent Hill Origins PS2 and preordered Littlebigplanet at BB.



....and more cheap games. All thanks to CAG forum.



Other parts of my room:





Eternal Sonata PS3 :New playable characters, new dungeons, new quests, multiple endings ,new costumes, some new musical numbers and even new 2D character illustrations, I will definitely buy it but there is no bonus item for preordering this game. The demo on PS3 is great.

Still an Otaku but less...

It has been 2 months since my last update.

I sold out my entire PSP games and a half of DS games on Ebay before they increase FVF up tp 15%. This was the last time I put item on Ebay. Ebay now is suck and they make a lot of new rules that are bad for sellers. The reason I sold my entire my PSP games because the PSP games have nothing interested me and I can easily hack the PSP(custom firmware) to play Iso(talk about booglet games:)) and my PSP Slim got a broken analog stick after playing God of War CoM. Ack,it was very bad day.

Because I need to save money for my trip back to my country and Japan so I don't spend much money for buying anime,video games stuff...



For video games: Disgaea 3(plus sountrack) and Warhawk(Bluetooth bundle) for PS3, Silent Hill Origins PS2(sold the PSP version) and Final Fantasy Chronicles from Goozex.





For anime: got some new Anime DVDs to watch. Lucky Star Vol 3(LE), the final volume of Kujibiki Unbalance (plus Genshiken Ova 3),School Rumble OVA Extra Class before getting the Season 2, GaoGaiGar King of Braves Premium Box 2(why this box is so cheap, got 5 disc for only $23.99, I still miss vol.4 on box 1). I also got Death Note The Movie(already downloaded torrent file and watched it so this is for collection only)







^^ Got 2 Minori Chihara albums: Contact CD and the Message 01 DVD. Deen 'Starting Over' album( it has the 'Kimi ga Inai Natsu' (Detective Conan's 4th Ending theme song)) Shuffle OP CD and a new cell phone : LG VU Cu920(updated from my old LG CU500 phone). It's a touch phone and I like it very much. I planned to get Iphone 3G but don't want to spend out $70/month so LG Vu Cu920 is my choice. Bought 2 Mini-SD Cards(2Gb and 4Gb) so I can put favorite songs,pictures to use on the LG VU.





Oh well, I will go back to my Vietnam country for visiting then go to Japan to meet my fiance's parent. An Otaku life is going to get married soon. ^^

Otaku Room! (56Kb Warning)

It's time again. My room photos update



The center: I was able to move my Westy 42" LCD 1080p and all next-generation(PS3,Wii,Xbox 360) home consoles from the old 32" TV stand to a new 50" TV stand which I bought from Besybuy. I also put the Jp White PS2 system,a Toshiba HD-DVD A-3 Player and a Onkyo 5.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver on this stand. Some PVC figures that I put in front of TV.



I barely use the Wii because it has no games for me to play. The game that I spent a lot of hours to play on Wii was Fire Emblem RD and it just eats dust when I beat the game. Next to the Wii is Japanese Xbox 360 console,it have a same fate as the Wii console. I have it because of Super Robot Taisen XO. Maybe Idol Master will be the next game for me to use it again :) (I don't have IM yet). The PS3 console which I use it for Blu-ray movies and playing PS3 games. Below the PS3 is my US Xbox 360(core plus 20GB) with Lucky Star faceplate.Bomberman Live is the the game I usually play online. On top of the US X360 is HD-DVD Player Add-on.



Right corner: On the right the new 50" TV stand is the old stand which belongs to the Samsung 26" LCD. Below the old stand is where I put Jp PS1,N64 consoles and game accessories. Behind the Samsung LCD is action figures boxes, I don't want to throw these boxes away. The US PS1(+ LCD screen), US Gamecube,Xbox and a US PS29( +4 GB HDD from FF XI),Toshiba HD-DVD A20 Player which are connected to the Samsung TV. The Jp Gamecube, US& Jp Sega Dreamcasts and Sega Saturn which barely is used because almost games I have on these sytems are Japanese(U know, I can't read kanji). A half of horror,#$%^ movies are on the bottom seft.




Left corner: The (in)famous place for video games,anime.
-------------------------
Close-up:





The boxset





A Fate/ Stay Night LE clock, an oppai Da Capo mouse and other anime DVDs.




Geneon anime boxsets and ADV thinpak.



Geneon anime#2 and the Haruhi LE and Lucky Star LE boxsets take too much space.



NO SPACE! Those are reasons ?? I buy too much "crap stuff" and don't have to time to watch them all. 40% anime I have : they are still brand new. ^.^

----------------------------------

Next to the anime corner is the place where I put all video game softwares: video game corner.



A HP latop which I bought on Feb,2008. It usually loose wireless signal in my room after 1-2 hours using and it's hot like hell.

A close up of video games:



I have been collected video games since 2003. The first system I bought was PS2 with 2 games: Kingdom Heart and Silent Hill 2. I had no job back then so it was hard for me to keep buying games.But when I got a :) job on May 2005, I just kept buying buying them at Ebay,Gamestop,Bestbuy,Circuitcity,Playasia....and within 2 years, I can say I have above 50% video games that I don't have time to put them on the tray disc. My video game collection grow slowly when I have a new hobby : I have taken a step in the Otaku world(anime,manga,figures....) Some old systems,games(Nes,Snes,Neo Geo CD,GBC,Sega Genesis/CD) was sold on Ebay because of my new hobby and to get space for them.



Almost Japanese PS2 games I have are Super Robot Taisen series.



The Xbox games and 1/4 Gamecube games.



GBA and NDS games.



The PS1 games and Blu-ray movies. I rarely buy Blu-ray movies nowsday because there is no good deals since Blu-ray won over HD-DVD format.



Still have some good,rare RPG PS1 like Tales of Destiny I-II, Legend of Mana, Arc The Lab,FF VII,VIII,IX....yeah U know Working Desgins and Atlus games,.



Dreamcast(2/5 Shenmue games), 31/31 Jp Sega Saturn games(almost games I have based on anime) and don't have time to play them yet. A half left of horror movies and Godzilla dvds.




The rest of them: HD-DVD movies, Gamecube games, PS3 games, Xbox 360 games......



I am very happy with my HD-DVDs collection. The PS3 games keep growing up. I bought Hot Shot Golf last week and the online play is awesome for a golf game. I have reason to use my PS3 again to play game since Ninja Gaiden Sigma.





A place for system boxes : closet.



Have video games! Have guides as well.

-------------------
Manga


Yaoi! I love it.



The best manga in my opinion are: Genshiken,D.N Angels, Dr.Slump, Dragon Ball .



The first manga I bought was Love Hina.



As same as video games and anime, I even don't have time to read them all.

My workplace with my Win XP desktop.



How can I forget the J-pop,Anime,game CD soundtracks...collection? The place I usually buy these CD are CJapan( Very good place to buy CD from Japan but shipping is soooo expensive) One time, i bought 12 CDs and they charged me $80 for EMS shipping. Oop!



The door



That's it. I think I will take a long vacation just to stay at home so that I can watch and play all my stuff.
Bye-Ni!
