What Was Your Last Purchase?

The boots I was issued in the academy are awful. They wore out just a few months after they were issued and I've had a request put in for new boots for months now. Being a Red Wing fan I went to my local boot store to see if they had any Red Wing boots that would fit in policy and found a pair. Speaking with my shift Lieutenant I was given permission to purchase my boot of choice and my department would foot the bill. My local store is very pro Law Enforcement as well so not only did I get a generous discount, they sent the bill directly to my department so I didn't have to pay a dingle cent in store. 

 

Anyways, I went with the Red Wing 1426 8-inch boot. While they aren't broken in yet they are already 10 times more comfortable than the Magnum crap we were issued in the academy.

I've owned a pair of Red Wing pull on boots since I was a Freshman in high school and I still wear them daily so I'm not concerned with the quality of my news one at all.

Staples here is getting out of video games (in store, online isn't changing), so they are having a massive clearance.

 

At one location, I picked up:

 

  • Sony Gold Headset
  • Microsoft Surface Type Cover
  • Xbox 360 250GB w/ Tomb Raider and Halo 4 packaged in
  • Eight games

All for about $300 bucks, which is pretty amazing considering the Xbox bundle is $249 and the Surface keyboard is $139 on their own (CDN prices).

It's been ages since I ever posted recent purchases, here's to flush the buffer (spoilered due to length):


Ordered AC Anthology (PS3) for 140.19AUD, Mercenaries 2: World in Flames (PS3) for 10.68AUD, Mercenaries 2: World in Flames (PS3) for 8.37AUD (Why again? That other one didn't arrive so I had to get a refund. At least I got a cheaper one this time, hopefully it arrives), Air Conflicts Secret Wars (PS3) for 13.00AUD, Air Conflicts Pacific Carriers (PS3) for 29.00AUD, Air Conflicts Vietnam (PS3) for 31.90AUD, Battlefield 3 (PS3) for 11.15AUD (haha, I owned BF3 three times before already, I want it a fourth time now just to record a couple of videos xD), London 2012 (PS3) for 21.52AUD, Wanted: Weapons of Fate (PS3) (German version) for 32.65AUD (German version stacks platinum), MCLA Complete Edition Disc Only (PS3) for 8.00AUD (I'm gonna buy normal edition as well... it's a long story, has to do with goal attack glitch and if I ever upload platinum video I'll explain it in its description).
I remember playing Mercenaries 2: World in Flames on PS3 many years ago over at my cousins', and it was fun. I love such games, like I loved Just Cause 2. Speaking of, I'm really glad that more news's coming out for Just Cause 3 http://www.gamefront.com/square-enix-registers-new-just-cause-3-domain/

I missed the US PSN 0.99c flash sale. I had 1USD in my US PSN account, as leftover from some free 6USD promotion years ago, but I needed at least 0.98USD more to get all that I wanted, but it would take too long to fund because my only method was buying a US PSN card with PayPal and PayPal's funds addition process takes too long and there was only 8 hours left for the sale. So I missed the sale entirely and got nothing xD
So right now all I can do is buy a resell, but eh, not really interested/motivated to go through the hassle - I'll just wait for another sale, or likelier, I'll just never buy the games and not care about them. Haha.
On other non-gloomy news, AU PSN was having a promotion: for every $50 that you add to wallet with PayPal, you get another $10 free. I added $50 and soon got a $10 voucher in my PSN inbox (and somewhy it said "expires on 31st March 2014" but I think that they meant "May", I used it successfully anyway).
I also missed the Ubisoft EU PSN sale because I was too busy in other things... thereafter I saw Far Cry 4's announcement (obviously the sale was planned with this announcement or something, on the EU PSN blog), I'm gladdened, and now I also give up Far Cry series completionism due to things that I'm appreciating from Far Cry 4 and Ubisoft.

I ordered BF3 and PvZ GOTY Edition for free from Origin's "On The House" thingy (thanks to Gri for informing me), but I just ordered them for free, so they're in my account... I'm not actually gonna download Origin to download/play them.

On 2014.06.22, eBay had a 15% off for that specific day (I thought "paint me yellow call me a Tails-fan" haha as I had shirts in mind xD)... it was just over an hour from midnight and to purchase something I had to rely on the seller reïnvoicing me before then after I ordered, so I ordered and prayed that he did, but as zero hour came I realised that that's not happening, so I was about to use the coupon anyway and ask for partial refund (combined postage reïnvoicing as mentioned earlier) later... right when I click pay it says coupon expired :'( Fail... haha, in the end I paid 81.08AUD! That probably sounded confusing, but anyway, one comes with a beanie, and another is colour-changing upon sunlight... which I never get :rolleyes:

Yesterday I got a PS Vita wifi original model with recharger, case, 16GB memory card, Resistance: Burning Skies, Uncharted: Golden Abyss, FIFA Football, and Modnation Racers Road Trip; all for 175AUD.
A minor note: the bundle had artificial scent residue all over it, which is annoying to me as I don't like that and am sensitive to that, but it doesn't matter as it'll wear off and I've been using my fan to help it. I understand though as it is preöwned and this is a part of what you accept, so I willingly accept it of course; and I've had one stronger case about 0.5y ago with bulk toys that I bought, but thankfully anyway almost all items that you buy don't have smells like artificial scent residue, smoke, and suchlike.
I don't care about those four games, so I'll sell all of them (at most I'll play Resistance: Burning Skies before I do), but anyway, last night I ordered S&ASRT (PSV) for 25.90AUD.

Darksiders 2 is repetitive as fuck, you should really play Darksiders 1 instead

 

I already own Darksiders 1, but I have yet to play it. I plan on playing both games, but thanks for the advice I guess.

My old Wacom has seen better days so I have finally decided to upgrade :)  For £50 this definitely seems like a great deal (considering I paid over £100 for the same kind of tablet but with a lot less features, etc years ago).

 

Oh and new walking sandals/trainers for taking my dog walks :)
