Ive been waiting to do this for YEARS. thanks to getting around to it |darc|, thank you very much. Yeah, I had to use ISOFix a couple times in the past week so I now know how important i...

Didn't see that on the video that I downloaded, but going third person would make a difference. I know it is a little thing, but that first person perspective kept me off of the Dragon Warrior series until the last one. I'm not sure why the first person rubs me the wrong way, but we all have our li...

I checked around, and this doesn't seem to be a game that shows up preowned too often around here. If the battle system is vastly improved as butters says, maybe I'll try a rental before plunking down $70. Of course with my luck, I'll like it, buy it, and it will go on sale in a week. It's been out...

I never really got into Morrowind, but I've heard that Oblivion has a more concrete main story line. As a fan of more of the Japanese style of rpgs (the only reason why I have a ps2 at this point), will Oblivion be more to my tastes? The Ebgames here still has new copies of the collectors edition he...

XBL- video market place, disorganization and not much there

Just a question for those of you who have been on the 360 scene for awhile. Much of the xbox video market place, especially when it comes to tv, movies, etc seems pretty sparse and disorganized to me. Example: if you go to the video market place, a big picture icon might highlight that episode 1 of ...

One problem with that, Caboose. My "PC" is a MacBook Pro. I haven't owned a Windows machine in nine months, and I haven't owned a desktop PC in over two years. I've done the Krayzie's mod and XBOXHDM on my mac. All these losers are n00bs. PM, email, IM or call me if you want to go over it...

At any rate, all this PS3 talk is useless now. Wait until this time next year when all three systems were available for another Christmas season. Then we will see who the real winner is. I agree. Making comparisons at this point is pretty useless. If you bought a 360 already, it is because you want...

Re: System warranties

Do you all fork out the extra dough for a warranty when you buy a system, or do you just take the risk? I didn't get one for my Xbox 360 and I'm wondering if I should, since the thing heats up so bad (I burned my hand when taking GoW out after 3-4 hours of playing). $60 just seems like quite just t...

You cannot transfer any Xbox 360 gamesaves to any other xbox 360, no matter what way you use (a USB stick, one of those hard drive adapters) they fixed it all. I think I know what he is getting at finally. He basically wants to transfer a "preferences file" from a game to another 360, not...

That allows you to transfer some stuff (or at least make a backup). The Xsata is the only way that I know of to get old xbox saves onto the 360 as well. I suspect though that certain things are tied (ie, purchased XBLA games, movies etc) to the hardware or the gamer profile. You might be able to bac...

The value has dropped now. Just before Disgaea 2 was released, a used copy in mint condition on ebay often went for $80-90. For awhile, it was $60 used from ebgames. Now a used copy goes for $30-$40, and ebgames lists the used copy back in stock for $40. There have been reports that new copies somet...

Those are all very logical arguements. I tend not to buy very many sports games in general, because there isn't $50 dollars of new stuff added every year to make it worth it, especially the EA games. It seems that a few years need to go by before another purchase it worth it. Making logical arguemen...

I think you're the one with the crazy ideas, how can no competition be a good thing? Never the less I wouldn't get too excited about this as I really don't see this happening. Agreed. Like I said, the most that will happen is that a "few exclusives" may no longer remain exclusive, and tha...

Resident Evil 5 is multiplatform already, but yeah, the PS3 does have worthwhile exclusives from capcom, and it'd be a huge blow to Sony if MS bought them. It would be a huge blow period if some of those "exclusive" titles were no longer exclusive, but I doubt that will happen to the key ...

They removed the S-Video output option from the PAL Gamecube to make room for the SCART (RGB) output instead. I assume they did this because SCART is far more common than S-Video in most PAL territories. and I think calling this port "digital" is a misnomer as far as video goes since comp...

It would be horrible if MS bought all of those companies. If the installed base of the 360 remains significant compared to the eventual base for the PS3, you will probably see some of the "exclusive PS3" titles come out for the 360 anyway. It's happened for Virtual Fighter 5, and it wouldn...

Re: PAL gamecube S-VIDEO question

I've heard that PAL gamecubes dont use S-Video, does this include gamecubes that have digital out as well? I don't see why PAL gamecubes can't use S-video... isn't s-video capable of 576i (pal) as well as 480i (NTSC)? If it is a PAL game, it should work. Regardless, even if I am wrong, a gamecube w...
