The three Game and Watch keyrings.

Pop and Twinbee Rainbow bell adventures for the SNES cart only 10quid
Lord of the rings for the SNES 16quid boxed complete

Valkyre Chronicles 2 for psp 5quid .... It was cheap despite being new because its the German version, the box and manual are in German but the game plays in English


Also dont think I posted about getting Ace Combat x Skies of Deception PSP for 1quid and
Dragoneers Aria for psp for 5quid

Wolfenstein: The Old Blood. I loved New Order last year, the best FPS I played in 2014, so I've been looking forward to this standalone expansion. Very reasonably priced too with an RRP of £15 for a game that's about as long as something like The Order or a COD story campaign, although I only paid £13.85 from ShopTo.

Jewel Master for the megadrive 10quid complete. I owned this in Japanese as a child and was certain I still had a copy somewhere but upon going through all my games no I didn't.. so went hunting for the cheapest copy I could find... It was either 7quid for a Japanese cart only version or 10 for a complete UK version so I went for the complete one as it seemed to make more sense.

I got Last of Us remastered and Codename STEAM (and a couple of Fire Emblem amiibos, which can link up with the latter) for my birthday.

I also bought a New 3DSXL a few days ago. I thought it was a decent price at £147  (365games) but then Amazon dropped its price to £140!

Orderd a second hand copy of Tactics Ogre for the PSP for 5quid....

I have just bought Project Cars. I had a CEX voucher burning a hole in my wallet for ages and I wanted to spend it on this game but it was not appearing in my local store but they had lots of copies online. When I found out I could use my voucher online I thought I would give it a try. It could be a gamble as you will never know the quality of the game buying unseen but I thought it might be worth a try for the first time and see what the results of CEX online is like.

Cex can be a mixed bag Ive ordered games and they've arrived in A star condition then ordered something else and its been awful.

I'm kinda thinking as the game has only been out a week or so people haven't had time to wreck them yet.

yeah I think it being a new game helps with your odds .. Ill keep my fingers crossed for you

What is their delivery time like? 

I am another one who has recently purchased Wolfenstein The Old Blood! £15 for a fairly big chunk of game that will also have some trade in value? Brilliant! It also helps that it is more of one of my favourite fps in ages.

I've just completed the first of the two Chapters in Old Blood, it took about 4 hours so if Chapter 2 is a similar length that's a lot of game for what I paid. Looks to have some replay value too with lots of collectibles to go back and look for with Chapter select and Challenge stages as well. It's also an excellent FPS in it's own right too.

Ive had cex deliver stuff in 2 days then occasionally they have took a lot longer, but I have mostly been ordering old stuff that they had very low stock of, So I guess some of the longer ones have been due to them crawling around finding the stuff from there depo.

An update on my CEX order for anyone that's interested: I ordered on Sunday and delivery would have been Weds but as it was sent recorded delivery a signature was required and no one was home. Why they couldn't just post it through the letterbox i don't know. So I didn't get it until today but the good thing is that I seem to have gotten a new copy as its in cellophane so that's a good thing in my book! Overall impressed with my CEX online order and would even do it again.

Glad to hear it worked out well for you

My recent purchases are all old stuff

Spectre for the snes cart 4quid

A bought a New 3DS XL. it's a decent piece of kit. 

I was sceptical about the nub as a second stick but it actually works well. The 3D (which I usually turned off on my old 3DS XL) is a lot more stable with a larger sweet spot (I now leave the 3D on).

Recently I bought:
Splatoon
Pokemon Omega Ruby
Monster Hunter 4
Fallout 1, 2 & Tactics (Steam sale and I'm interested in given them a go!)

I bought a second hand Kinect for my X1.  It certainly makes navigating the godawful front end easier!

I brought Splatoon, Mario Party 10 and Kirby magic paintbrush for 65quid in a sale not to long ago.

Yesterday I got tale of symphonia chronicles for 5quid from a second hand shop.. I also realised If I got tales of xillia 2 Id have all the tales of ps3 games out so far so orderd a new copy of it day one edition for 18quid.

Nice pick up. GameCube was a decent machine - the last Nintendo console that was my 'main' machine

I already have a few of them but with all the stuff it just seemed like too good a deal to pass up.

I've still got my Gamecube boxed up in the loft along with a few games and one of those wireless Wavebird controllers, haven't played on it for about 8 or 9 years though. It was Nintendo's last great console.

The last of us for PS4   15Quid.. kept nearly buying it digital for a little less but went in a local store and there it was new and sparkly for the above price.
