The price here really is the issue. Not only the fact that it's GBP15+ per album, it's the fact that within 6-12 months it's often dipped to just below the GPB10 mark.
I live in Luton, England, and I see it as the other way around. With new pop releases, HMV have to compete with the supermarkets (and Internet retailers like CDwow) that can get great deals on bulk purchasing. When the album falls out of the supermarket sales chart after a few months, there is hardly any competition so HMV can put their prices up to the 16 pounds region. So I use ebay a lot.
I'm going to have to import a US version of I-Ninja to play on my Gamecube. Datel's Action Replay means I can play games from outside my region, but there are a few games where I am unable to save. I'm looking into getting a Jap/US cube soon.
It's probably not all that easy to migrate it from a ps2 (64bit) to xbox (Intel) to Gamecube(who knows what).
For some games, these migrations have already happened and been released in other countries, and then Sony or someone else blocks it from getting a release in a different region.
I'm not sure the article makes this clear, but I don't believe they'll be using existing EA characters - I think the plan is to create all-new superhero-style characters which 'belong' to Electronic Arts. Whether this is a brilliant creative move or a cynical IP-building cash-in is, of course, open to interpretation.:)
I expect that if this game sells well, there will be a slew of games featuring your 'favorite' EA characters from the game.
I was called round to a friend's house when he was installing Live because he wanted me to set up his Windows ICS to share his broadband with the Xbox. I noticed where it said about payemnt renewal and specifically pointed out to him that it would take the money - unspecified amount at the time - unless he gave sufficient notice (a month or so beforehand). Am I in a minority that looks at charge agreements when giving card numbers to other people?
I personally found the game an excellent piece of video game design but crossed too many lines for me to really enjoy. The idea of free exploration, completing missions when and in what order I want, and the incredibly fun driving physics. Now if a game like that could be designed like that, that didn't center itself around violent and illegal behavior...that would be a game I could completely enjoy.
Well, Zelda isn't an RPG. If you want RPGs, the Cube is a pretty bad choice as their are very few, although Namco has several coming out later this year.
If you are looking for a FinalFantasy-style RPG, try Skies Of Arcadia: Legends.
Or all the people who put down the GameCube just because it looks like its for kids. These are the shallow minded retards that probably buy games Acclaim makes.
I can't wait to play Rouge Squadron. The idea of starfighters in ladies' makeup interests me. Rougue Squadron, the one without the makeup, sounds pretty good as well. /spelling nazi
Spelling Nazi might like to know it's spelt Rogue.
Is it me, or was Kirby originally white in his first game on the Game Boy- obviously, the game was in black and white, but I thought he was white on the box as well.
Why the switch to PINK??? I liked him white.
He was pink in the first game (in Europe) on the NES. Kirby's Adventures in Dreamland, or whatever it was called.

..because I've now got kidspotter.com in my internet browsing history at work!
there doesn't seem to be anything in the bible about a hive mind. so why do so many try to act like one?
Um, maybe because resistance is futile?
;-)

I will get the DVD version but I'll get a pirated copy and I'll be sure to distribute to all of my friends and family.
Illegally copying Star Wars makes baby Annakin cry.

Oh well. Blaming it on the playstation makes a catchier headline.
Especially as it was an Xbox.

Have you considered Simpsons Hit & Run?
RPG is Zelda, etc.

Sean Connery for Slartibartfast!
Would that make him Shlartibartfasht?
1. Go to hollywood and become a star
2. Align yourself with whichever party's in power
3. ???
4. Election!

Interestingly, Acclaim aren't 100% committed to the Gamecube. I think you might be right.
I really wish a DECENT SW game would come out on the PC.... but I mean something like the original Rogue Squadron
The original Rogue Squadron was released on the PC
I don't know any kids who talk like that ("fear my pink line"?), but it's still funny.
Never played an online FPS?
Maybe the writer was trying to make him sound L33t.
Does this mean it won't play PS1 games?

Nintendo will be releasing Animal Crossing in Australia. It doesn't look like it will ever be out for Europe
Quick, dial KLOP KLOP ABEF !
Of course, I meant KLOP ABEF ABEF

Rogue Squadron II is the GameCube Rogue Leader??
yes. The full title is Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader.
I am the only one who had no idea what geocaching was?
I first read it as Googlecaching crackdown. I was expecting something about bypassing registering for webaccounts for news stories.
I buy a few games online here (dvdcrave.com) as they are reasonable cheap for all titles and have good specials. Other than that I wait for specials.
Quite a lot of Brits use DVDCrave too, some of their offers are still good after getting it shipped halfway around the world.
