Sorta New Things

At the end of last week, during work, out of no where I had the urge to play Final Fantasy. But not any Final Fantasy, I wanted to play FFVII (for those that don't understand Roman Numerals, that's FF7). I had never had the chance to actually beat that game before because I never owned it. So I thought that I would pull out my Playstation (the original one) and find a copy of FFVII on Ebay or Craigslist.

I get my Playstation out, plug it all in, and put in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (the first one) to make sure that everything is still in working order. Which it was for the most part. The console over the years has seemed to have quit reading memory cards... no bueno. Plus my controllers don't exactly work the best either. So I figured that I could just buy another Playstation as well.

I find a Playstation on Ebay for $2.50 and end up winning the auction at $8.50, which really wasn't that bad of a deal. Now to find a Final Fantasy. This was easier than I thought, just not as cheap as I thought. Games were ranging anywhere from $30 to $130. Practically falling over in my chair, I checked over at CL to see what people had there and to see if I could find a better price. I was able to find one at $50 that is pretty close to my house. And being impatient, I dealt with the higher price to have the game now. So then all I had to wait on was my Playstation.

And so my Playstation arrived today. W00T! It looks to be in nice condition, about the same as mine... but it still reads memory cards, yay. It also came with two memory cards, two analog controllers and the necessary cables. Only thing is that it smells a little of cigarettes, one of the memory cards is for Playstation 2 and one of the analog sticks on each of controllers are damaged... ooops, more than one thing. Oh, and here is the link to my unboxing pictures and a few others.

Yay. I almost forgot, I think I might get a cat tomorrow. I will tell you about it if I get it, tomorrow.
