It's not the console price. It's the game price. If games were 20$ each I'd buy a Cube :P

Hell, you can get a DVD player for a AU$99. Like GJ said, that's not the difference between a PS2 and a Gamecube.

So....what do you get when you mix Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem, and Disgaea?

Well, for one, a bunch of pissed off FF/FE/Disgaea fanboys/girls, but that's neither here nor there. - Notty, Games and Stuff.

Wow, GJ, you can get a DVD player for less than -$18?

That's right, -$18. The PS2, right this moment, is $18 less than the GameCube.

I think they should sell combos. All the systems in one set. Save space that way.

That's funny... the PS2 is $60?

'Cause I've seen new Cubes for about $80.

Too few posts for a custom title
The fact that it's a number like 18 kinda makes it suspect that that's a sale or something, not normal price.

And regardless, endgame hardware-wholesale prices aren't what I'm talking about, and you know it...

At Amazon.com, GameCube is going for $99.99. PS2 is going for $80.00. And that's just the highest price they have on their lists. They do go lower.

No, that's the brand new price.

Hmm...at least, that's what it looks like. *prods deeper*

EDIT: Gah, accursed deceptive website. Alright, y'all were right. Amazon.com tricked me with their "used and new from yadda yadda". The PS2 is a bit more expensive.

I got Xeno Episode 2 yeaterday which is why I neglected to check the board.... My thoughts so far (I just got to where you finally get to play Shion).

1) I'm kinda pissed the game takes place right where the other one left off and my characters only start at level 5... Even after loading my data froim the first game

2) The Battle system was cdompletly revamped which makes it include some things I wished the first one would have had (A system for switching out characters which is totally sweet) and some things that make me cringe (Where the fuck did momo get that bow and arrow and when did she become my best character? I'm almost afraid where she hid that thing)

3) Shion looked better with her glasses.... Also the fact that she gets them stepped on then suddenly has perfect 2020 vision with no explanation irks me......

4) The story is still kicking ass and taking names

5) say it with me SPAAAAAAACE POOOOOOOOOOOOOOPEEEEEEEEEEEEE

And those are my observations on Xenosaga ep 2 so far

I got DBZ Sagas yesterday, I played it today. I have one thing to say, "Death to breakable objects." :twisted:
When I'm bored, I like to wander around and cast X-Zone on random things.

Is it any good? I liked Budokai 3, but DBZ Sagas looked sort of similar so I didn't plan on getting it.

Its more adventure style with more combos and flight whenever you want to. (No up and down flight motion.) Each level is a walk about map where you can collect health capsels (1/10 extra heath and can heal you), ki capsels (same), DBZ coins (Buy skills and unlockables), and Senzu Beans (1ups).

Dang lotsa parenthisis.

Budokai 3, to be specific. >_> 1 and 2 were not so great. 1 was pretty okay, but 2 was a step down.

From what I'm doing in the Saga game is smashing enemies into wall, buldings, ect.

This game fallows the story quite well as I am roaming the contained level of West City smashing enemies into buidings and destroying cars. The damage is very relistic craters. :D

The game's only fault is that I cant used finishers like the Spirit Bomb and such whenever I want. :(

Well, I recently got starfox: assault and xenosaga: espisode two: jenseits von gut und boese. I beat starfox. Now I just need to finish watching xenosaga.

All kidding asside, xenosaga two is allright. It seems heavier (if that's even possible) on the cutscenes so far than ep 1, and I'm a little farther than luppy. The battlesystem is much better, and seeing as I always liked momo, I don't find her sudden over-poweredness that bad.

What I don't like: the character designs. Rubido doesn't look at cool. He's got a much much more antique western feel than before, instead of a space western feel. I love Jin's opening design. His uniform and biker helmet (hehe) are cool. But when he's wearing his kimono, or whatever it is for guys as soon as you meet him in non-flashback, whenever he walks west (or whatever left would be), you can see his shaved man-legs. It's not rugged or muscular, and thank gott (hey, it's got a german title for the game) it's not girly, but it just feels so... disturbing. I dunno why. Shion looked better with glasses, though the rest of her new costume looks nice. KOS-MOS's new design looks too human, yet too emotionless. It's that crappy area in between. Her swimsuit looks nice, though. So doesn't Ziggy's. Despite the fact that he has a snorkel.

The battles seem to suddenly shift from overly-easy to extraordinarily hard soon after where luppy is (the next boss, I think, if he's past the mechs, killed me by boosting, then going twice more in a row, doing 400 damage attacks to the whole party, and my strongest character out was the afformentioned KOS-MOS with 1200 max HP).

Yes, exactly. 2 was a huge step down... 3 restored my faith in the games though.

3 proved me wrong when I said "It is impossible to make a GOOD Dragon Ball Z video game". >_> I bought 3 because it broke what had been a standard rule until that point.

Yes, well... I enjoy watching other people play, but usually just my brother, and we usually just shoot the shit. Most people prefer to do group activities when around other people. Playing Final Fantasy is not a group activity.

... How little you know.... MWHAHAHAH!(Actually that particular FF would be but....)

Yeah, sorry, I had to comment.
