There were some gaps that I wanted to fill in my xbox360 collection. One game that kept popping up was metal gear rising but it was always sold out on thevideogamecompany website. I also wanted some replacement cases because I bought Skate 3 on amazon (terrible mistake) which arrived loose in a dvd case. Skate 3 is also a clunky game. So I bought 4+1 xbox 360 replacement cases to swap out some of my previous amazon purchases. This time around I am trying to keep my purchases below $100.

The other games are gap fillers. Some of them are worse sequels but I choose to always buy the latest game in a series. I have also started to buying loose games which are cheaper and easier to store than CIB(complete in box) games. Mafia 2 and Alan Wake pops up in discussions and lists on the internet very often. Rayman Legends is a classic 2d, it might be 4 player - I should have at least one co-op multiplayer game.

The list

Dead Space 3 - $14.99 USD
Metal Gear Rising: Re-vengeance - $25.99 USD
Dead Island Riptide - $8.99 USD
Lost Planet 2 (loose) - $0.00 USD
Alan Wake (loose) - $7.99 USD
Bayonetta - $9.99 USD
Mafia II - $11.99 USD
Rayman Legends - $10.99 USD
Replacement Game Case for 360 x 5 - $11.96 USD

Subtotal $102.89 USD
Shipping $34.00 USD

Amazon Purchases

As I mentioned I bought skate 3 hoping that it would be good but it was not. I bought 128gb flash drives for use as additional storage in the 360. The drives had to be as small as possible to fit into the back of the console. I also got inline power switchs so I can switch off the power brick without unplugging it from the wall.

Skate 3 - $10.98 USD
128 gb USB flash drive x 2 - $22 USD
Power Cord Switch x 2 - $26 USD
Game Case Storage Bag for 360 cases x 3 - $60 USD
