Good news for this dying series. Now I finally have something to look forward to other than the I want to make money let's make an pay per month online version of X game.
You know what's funny. You'll have these games in which the bugs are so bad that all people do is bitch about how they ruin the game. But at the same time, you have games like Halo and GTA, where people get so bored that they spend countless hours of game play finding glitches and documenting them for sites like GameFaqs. So dare I say, some people out there actually like the glitches, mind you that they don't interfere with the game play. On the other hand, it's a damn shame stores have the worst if any return policy on games. Why is it that if I am honestly so disappointed in a game that it gets more depreciation than a car when I go to return it, yet if I don't like a pair of tighty whiteys, I can return those, skid marks intact?
Let's see, you only have one system to bother plugging stuff into, and you'll have an awesome gift to give your nephew when you move to Colorado. Here, have a slightly used PS1, with a couple of games I don't want anymore.
You can't give a better gift than that.
Besides, by the time the PS3 comes out, you'll have so many disk read errors that you'll care enough about backwards compatibility.
The only reason it's called 9/11 and not a short name like "Pearl Harbor" or "The Alamo" is because:
a)How can we shorten it?
"Remember The World Trade Center?"
"The Bombing or the Planes?"
"The Planes."
"Yeah...... we wont forget that."
b)No one is creative enough now a days to think of something memorable.
c)If we think of a good name for that tragedy, the terrorists win.
Doesn't anyone find this story similar to the Gas Station one? You know if your phone rings while pumping gas it can cause a spark, and ignite the gas you're pumping. Which was proven to be fake. Anyone find it odd that if you do a search on google for Vaio Recall, you'll get this link.

Which has nothing to do with electrocuting you. Notice that article date is 4/18/03.
C'mon guys I thought you were smarter than this.
Jeeze AC thanks for chewing up all that bandwidth on PC games that weren't ready to handle that much data transfer. I loved playing Quake 3 where I fire a shot hear f*ck you fag, then end up respawning, that was awesome.
Yeah save about 75 bucks up front, but you still gotta buy them batteries. They're not cheap. If you are so much into your GBA to play it enough to mod it, you're gonna spend more in batteries then just buying an SP.
I'm sure Hitler must have played violet video games in his youth. I mean how else would he develop into an enraged lunatic, bent on making a perfect race of human beings. I mean he had to have played Mortal Kombat and Grand Theft Auto, right?
".....the PS3 will _not_ have backwards compatibility. It was claimed that the backwards compatibility with the PSX had been difficult for the PS2....."
I've heard the exact opposite. Basically, the PS2 just emulates PS1 games, the only thing they added were features to smooth out textures and make the disk drive read the disk faster. But of course, correct me if I am wrong.
Jesus Christ you guys are blowing this way out of proportion. Think about this from a legal standpoint. If every single "FAQ" on that site was contributed with no credit to the author other than to share his "work" and to look "cool", there is absolutely no way that you'll ever be charged for that service. Do you think the current owner of that site, or CNet want thousands of legal threats? Stop worrying, it's nothing like IGN or GameSpot they hire people to write "professional" editorials and reviews for games, and get Koo "exclusive" media.
I can see the author's points but I'm kind of in the middle of the road on this subject. You have to admit that while some of these sequels are rehashes of N64 games, they still are a lot of fun. Also, I think Nintendo has their innovation focused on the wrong thing. They're pushing the whole Gamecube-GBA link, which is cool, just not very practical. How man people can really afford a GameCube and a GBA and Metriod Prime and Metriod Fusion?

You guys suck. That was funny shit right there.

Now if we can find out how to compensate for the Earth's spherical shape, we can finally get a good look at those Brazilian Thongs.
Spinning Bird Kick indeed. You know, when you pause it just right, oh yeah......
Awww damnit, my first troll post. Who mods this anyways?? Was it you Jesus? You're pissing me off.
Good Freeware, oxymoron anyone?
I thought CE meant "Cash Earnings"?
There is no service pack 2 or 3 for XP, yet. So subtract about 15% of that time off.
Quit saying Anonymously in there!!!
That was the rarely seen Trench Coat Mod that the imps wore. You know, when the flashed you the fireballs came out.

Is it a sad statement that as a 15 year gamer (not 15 year old), I think LAN parties are nerdy?
