Unfortunately I've misplaced my memory card reader, so it's phone camera grain-o-vision for this (mostly) sorry lot.
Quickshot Wireless Twin Controller Pack PS2: Found this in a charity shop for £3.99, it's basically just junk but it looks to be barely used and complete, in fact the second pad is still unopened in the wrapper. I bet the people who really notice input lag will find these to be a fairly miserable experience. They don't feel great! Funnily enough I think the last Quickshot product I ever bought was for my Spectrum. I'll probably just sell it, I prefer just using the normal pad with an extension lead on it.
Electronics Boutique Christmas Gift Pack: It is the time of giving after all - now THIS is a load of junk. It's for the original GBA and consists of a "stylish travel bag" (their words) and "some stick-on rubbish that won't really work" (my words). I think this was £2, I don't even have an original type GBA but it's a funny little souvenir of Electronics Boutique, which I do now miss slightly (I think GAME were the weaker brand). All sealed up. Think I'll just stash it away for 10 years and see if anyone wants to give me a load of money for a hit on the nostalgia pipe.
Atari Anthology (PS2): I can't remember if I posted this up before, think it was a 99p charity shop find. Case isn't great, but sleeve and contents all perfect. I find these old collections of games interesting in their own way, this one has both arcade and VCS/2600 games. I think the Activision Anthology and Intellivision Lives! are better though.
G1 Jockey Wii (Wii): I'm fond of the G1 Jockey series despite not being very good at them and I've been after this version a while as I've heard it's more forgiving than most of them. It's basically G1 Jockey 4. Took ages to find it in nice condition, in the end a charity shop turned it up for £1. I'll take it!
Deadly Premonition (360): A sinner's sandwich etc etc. I've already got this game, but many years ago I quite literally had a slip-up whilst I was holding the disc and broke it (and whacked my head against my glass desk for good measure). Mine was a new copy that I got from Grainger Games before they decided to effectively destroy their reputation, I kept mine in the hope I'd find a replacement disc and this one was in the right place at the right time. £6, which is a bit less than they charge on eBay. I really like this game's ambition and feel, even if the combat is pretty rubbish.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 (PS3): Liked the original, never got round to the sequel, turned up in Cex for £4 in immaculate condition. It's getting really difficult to find these old Spiderman font boxes in nice, non-yellowed condition. Looking forward to an evening on this one sometime soon!
Dark Souls II Black Armour Edition (360): I've never played the series as despite what everyone has to say about it, the setting is possibly a bit too bleak and miserable-looking for me. That said, I'm always happy to notice a situation where Cex have put up a fancy steelbook version of a game at the price a normal one goes for. £5! It sells for about £20. Might as well have a try and see how I get on, if I'm not keen I can just shift it and buy more games. Has a soundtrack CD which I'd listen to in the car if my car wasn't all smashed up still.
Joytech PS1 Memory Card: Don't worry, I'm not daft enough to put my valuable save games onto a lousy third-party card - but I was amused to see this in a charity shop for £1.50 in the original box. No saves on it sadly, so probably never been used. Or it's just wiped them all, like they always did.

Picked up the original J-League Victory Goal for quids, worth every penny played a few hours enjoying immensely. From that early 3D period where you have a polygonal pitch/stadium with sprites for players. I bought it purely for this tho, yes you can play as Lineker final days of Grampus Eight :
