Thursday morning niceguy1283 and I hopped in my car and headed out to Lincoln, Nebraska.  Plans were to hit up a a pawn shop, a couple Gamers locations, and the two Game Room stores. 
I came across some decent stuff and and splurged a bit at the end of the trip by picking up a XBox 360 S 250GB console for 199.95. Felt like a good deal to me.

I didn't sort out the items by location found when I was taking pictures, but meh.

First up we have Jurassic Park: The Chaos Continues CIB, and Street Fighter II Turbo on the SNES.  Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: the Arcade Game on NES. 
Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War on XBox,
Neo Contra for the PS2, Championship PRO-AM and Sonic Spinball on Genesis. 
Ending with Earthworm Jim 3D on N64.

Next image.  Xenosaga 1 for PS2, Final Fantasy Chronicles for PS, Super Paper Mario and Super Mario All Stars 25th Anniversary Edition on Wii, and Gears of War limited collectors edition on XBox 360.

Next couple images are the results of me recently playing Halo and Halo 2 on the original XBox and wanting to see where the rest of the games went story-wise.

Here we have Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Edition,  Halo 3 limited edition, Halo 3: ODST, and Halo: Reach limited edition.

The Halo: Reach limited edition I picked up in a trade with niceguy1283, as well as the items in the image below.  Doom 32X, Mario is Missing NES, Super Mario Bros/Duckhunt with manual.
You might be asking yourself, "Why didn't he have this common freaking game?!"  I didn't have this. When I originally got my NES back in 1985 it was bundled only with Super Mario Bros.
Last but not least, Pocket Bomberman on GBC.

We came across a Mass Effect Limited Edition at our last stop of the day for the low price of 59.99, he wanted it, and I wanted his Halo: Reach. 
Sure, the Mass Effect is more than likely worth more than the Halo, but I have all the Mass Effect games on PC and don't care enough to get them on console now.  So to me it was an even trade. 

I picked up some PS3 games, but somehow managed to forget to take a picture.  Guess that doesn't really matter, they're newer and they're like belly buttons.  Everyone's got 'em. 
Uncharted, and Uncharted 2 GOTY, as well as Metal Gear Solid 4. 
Bought a later model Genesis control pad also.  Hopefully it's one with the redesigned D-Pad mechanism, my original "red letter" pad is feeling a bit mushy.

All in all, it felt like a good day of hunting.  I probably spent more than I should have at the end of the trip, but at least I'm all caught up to the current generation of consoles!
