It's too bad Nintendo of Japan couldn't just act like adults and greenlight the deal MS wanted that would have had the original on the VC, and a graphical update on XB360.  I would much prefer simply downloading the N64 version.  I'm betting on this game simply not being as good.

If you really enjoy a great JRPG, getting to the end is a really bittersweet moment.  I felt the same way when I beat FFX.  You can go back to Gran Pulse and mess around, but the story is done.  So taking that out of the equation, my satisfaction witht he post game was fleeting.  No sooner than I got done going to the next level of the Crystarium that unlocks after the final boss and "WHOA WTF LOL GOD MODE ENABLED" all my characters, and beasted things that used to kill me in three hits, did I get bored enough to simply start over. (this time on the 360)

What the deuce is this nonsense?  You guys do realize we can just turn it off, watch the video, and turn it back on, right?  Efforts to combat ad blockers are equatable to DRM efforts to curb piracy, they are, at best, completely flaccid, and wholly ineffective.  Take comfort in the fact that most people are too stupid to use anything but Internet Explorer, so I doubt you're really losing all that much revenue to FireFox users here. :)
 
So yeah, proceed with the flames/locking.  I post here once every three months or so anyway, so I won't really care.

Well when the censorship snowballs from games and internet into books and TV, he'll know he fucked up.

" I work at a Gamestop and send people to Best Buy and Wal-Mart all the time, must've just been that employee.  It's dumb to let one person decide t hat you're not going to a store again though, if that was the case I'd never buy fast food again for every time someone fucked up my order.  And Afro Samurai is 17.99 not 29.99, so someone's not telling the truth. "

Question?  Why the fuck do Aussies keep electing these censoring big brother wanna be scum bags?  When you get right down to it, it's the Australian people who are really at fault here.  The voters of your country have to care enough to send a message, and by the fact that I've been reading about these assholes for many years now, it's obvious the mass majority of your people just don't give a rats ass.  They just don't care.

" Player matches suck. I agree. People still pick the boring characters of ranked and championship and if you beat them once they very rarely keeo playing for more rounds. The only place I get bad messages in SFIV is the Player Matches. In Championship it's all GGs. "

The first level of Demon's Souls is simply structured very poorly.  All first time players find it rather... difficult.  Mostly because you can't spend soul points, and upon dying every second time without getting to your bloodstain, lose all of them.  If you could spend some and upgrade your weak starting stats some, it wouldn't be so bad.  Just keep in mind that you have to be very strategic, I know if you have a strong character like a barbarian that when you get that Bastard Sword at the early goings of level 1-1 that you might think "I have a big sword, lets go wade into that group of ten dudes with it, for it is big and powerful".  But you would be wrong, and dead(er).

Bookmark that site, it's essential.  Aside from maybe the Valley of Defilement and those god forsakenly strong giant goblins and the constant poisoning, everything after 1-1 is much less... overwhelming.

" Boobs are nice in real life, digital boobs are silly looking, especially in Ivy's case in Soul Calibur IV. "

" I was actually thinking about this last night while in my room.
 
I think one huge issue is the detachable hard drive. It would need to be able to fit on this slim 360 model, and with the size of that thing alone, the slim one couldn't be all that slim.
 
Also, slimming down consoles is more of a Sony thing. Nintendo only does it with their handhelds. Microsoft never did it with the original Xbox.
