My non-TF haul for the day:
-
Street Fighter IV Tournament Edition joystick (PS3) [
Loose, from my cousin]
Funny facts about me getting this joystick:
1) I got it for
FREE
2) I don't actually own SF4, SSF4 nor MvC3 on the PS3 (I have all X360 copies).
3) Additionally, those who know me know that I normally make my own arcade sticks from the ground up, as can be seen at the following URLs:

Basically, this is the conversation that I had with my cousin:
Him: [
calls me up] Yo man, PSN is down and I can't play MK online. So I'm trading in my PS3 and whatever games for an X360 and MK.
Me: Ah right. Coo cool.
Him: You want my SF4 TE stick?
Me: Well, I don't
need any additional sticks right now... and you could probably sell it off on eBay or Craigslist for like $150 or something...
Him: True.
Me: How's this. Let me think about it, and I'll get back to you. [

2 minutes later
Him: [
calls me up again] Yo, just so that we're on the same page: if you want the stick, I'm GIVING it to you.
Me: You serious? You can get some good cash for it by selling it.
Him: I know, but I'd rather just give it to family than to spend the time to list and sell it on eBay/Craigslist.
Me: Da~amn. In that case, I'll take it.
Him: Done and done. [

I love my family.
