not to be a total flame but seriously, who cares? any japs here that care, seriously?

why weren't they originally then slated for release there like most console games are(because of the big market)? if xbox had been more popular there they wouldn't have been published there to boost it's popularity, eh?wtf? wouldn't there have been more business sense then to publish them if they were in the game of MAKING MONEY and not trying to pull the good old ms-101 tactic on whole console industry?

all that being said xbox game copying is even more rampant than dreamcast copying was, and it's even more convinient to get an modchip even if you buy the games(because of hd install)..
