Share the best gaming haul you’ve ever got.

Just picked all of these up for £20:

36 months of Game Pass for the price of one PlayStation game. Still waiting for the police to arrest me for that steal.

Make sure you sanitize the shit out of these cartridges. Their previous owners probably licked them.

On-topic: Best haul I got? The humble bundles of yore.

A PSVita+Tearaway for ~15€

 

[nightmare-slain]

you got 15 Switch games for £20?

you A) are spewing bullshit B) stole them C) are incredibly lucky.

you have 3 copies of Splatoon 2, 3 copies of Mario Kart 8, and 2 copies of BOTW? you could make a nice profit if you sold 2xSplatoon, 2x MK8, and 1x BOTW.

That's a hell of a haul OP grats

I lived in Beijing for 5 years in my teens, my buddy and I got chipped xboxes.. only one in maybe 3 of the 5c games we bought for them worked, but nevertheless i basically got every game it was worth getting for an xbox for, like, $5 total

Spartan: Total Warrior, Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction, BLACK, these and many others are particularly fondly remembered

I think he stole 14 of them and actually bought only 1.

Haul of my life mate, girlfriend saw the ad as soon as it was uploaded on Facebook and messaged straight away. House smelt ever so slightly of Ganja, she was a lovely mid 20s to 30s woman. No reason to lie, and I own all of these games digitally baring 1 2 Switch, Arms and the Super Mario Wii U port. £20 exact.

The thieving comment, whilst speculative on your part, is out of order really, although I understand the disbelief.

lucky you then Nintendo games hold so much value. I actually got one for £20 brand new and after playing it sold it and made a profit. nothing crazy (think it was like £5) but i got a free game actually, someone PAID ME to play it lolol

GPUs are sure money makers or hold really good value in the last few years (if you can get hold of one).

my friend was lucky enough to get a 3080 when it came out. cost £640. got to play on it for about 10 months and made a £670 profit when he sold it

my current GPU cost me £750 and i bought it when it came out almost 3 years ago. i reckon if i sold it i could get about ~£400 for it if i decided to sell it. not bad to get ~50-55% of the cost back after almost 3 years of use.

I pre-ordered 3090 for 1400 EUR and people were telling me that I overpaid

Then I proceed to mine and since it was crypto boom I made like 2000EUR since then with mining. I run it all the time tho, I am just stopping it, when I need it for work, which is like on average 4 hours per day.

1080ti, bought for 400, sold for 550 after 2 years of use.

I can't give you both a counter example and a example included in the counter example.
I was born with a geneteic disorder meaning That I am still currently fighting my second cancer at 28 years old.I already had something like 15 surgeries most of them with complication since my body assimilate very well drugs and is a bit unpredictable.I often woke up during surgeries and can't have local anesthesia (been operated twice under local anesthsia and it failed both timed so I was basically tortured while describing to the surgeon what he was doing to me).
And my last cancer is still giving excrutiating pain and has been doing so for the last yera or 2.
That made me insomniac which mean that when a store near me openned the PS5 preorder at something like 2 or 3 in the morning, I was awake.I could order it less than 5 minutes after the preorders had open and all that lead me to be able to get a ps5 day 1.
It's not much but sometimes you gotta see the good in all the bad...Sometimes it is the only way to be able to keep on living.

Buying a Series S with game pass.

I used to buy almost 2 games per month... Since then I just stopped. I simply don't need that anymore.. Too many games to play and new ones being added constantly to game pass.
