Pick n Pay Haul 3: Diminishing Returns

[Howard_Casto]

So I went to the final Pick n Pay of the year.  In terms of game-related stuff, there wasn't much this time, especially considering I've found at least one classic console at the last two.

2 Wireless xbox 360 gamepads:  $10
Rock Candy 360 gamepad:  $5
PSP 3001 (no battery):  $5
PS2 Slim (no cables, controllers, ect):  $5

They had plenty of computers, monitors, laptops, ect, but I'm still trying to use the ones I bought last time, so I took a pass.

Gwt a good battery. Those cheap ones suck ass.

Will do thanks.  They actually had other psps with the battery in tact, but having wised up to demand, they were selling them for 40 bucks, which is a bit too steep for pawn shop psps imho.

You should have took the battery from a good one and put it with the one you were buying.

Eh they do pretty good deals so I try to be honest.

So I bought a new battery door, battery and a set of component cables for the psp.  It was a little over 10 bucks total.  So it's a 15 dollar psp.... I'm not sure if that's a good deal or not considering it isn't in perfect condition, but I don't have a psp and even with the vita, the psp's component out is a nice feature to have.  I'm satisfied at least.  Cleaned up the gamepads... they all work fine except the rock candy which has a ceased rumble motor.  I'll have to look through my junk pile to see if I have one.  I'm not even sure if it's necessary considering I bought this particular pad to hack into a custom flight stick.
