It wouldn't really make sense to have the PS3 games be region free, but to leave the coding in for PS1 & PS2 games. So hopefully it will truly be region free, as I would love to take my Gundam Vs Zeta online!

16:9 is the future, 4:3 should have never existed. Accept it!

Why would they have enough systems at launch? That would go against every video game company tactic in the book. -Launch around the holiday season -Ship out only a few (relatively that is) systems with some lame ass underproduction story -Give away a good number to celebrities who do not need free systems -Give away a good number to exec's to sell on ebay. -Wait until kids get their christmas money -Ship out the bulk of the systems after the holiday season -Profit! As for the Gundam game, I'm kinda tempted to pick that up before I get a PS3, but I'll wait on the reviews. Considering that Sony couldn't even properly ventalate their booth PS3 during the TGS, I think I'll definately wait a year or so before picking up an actual system. Overheating

Hmm, interesting tactic with having the memory card adapter attach to the controller, it's been bugging me waiting to find out what they were going to do with the older memory cards. The low end model doesn't sound too bad now, aside from that dinky 20 gig HD.

Wow, ZOE 3 & MGS4, now if only Kojima will do a new or remade freakin' Snatcher. Hell, I'd settle for DS!

No, now it's sometime in early '07.

I still remember those aweful preliminary pictures of crystal dreams, it looked like trash. Hell, the 32X had better looking polygon rendered games than CD.

Considering that almost no one will be able to actually find a PS3 in the U.S. until March or February (this giong by the usual standard of "we couldn't produce enough systems, so there's going to be a shortage until after kids get their christmas money, and then there will be tons) I wouldn't be too worried about launch prices. Chances are there will be a decent price cut on the PS3 by around this time or christmas next year. And then I shall buy both the system & MGS4....excellent.

I think we're just saving it all up until after we actually see it, stupid DVD delays. I didn't have to wait this long for Space Gandam V!

If you guys want to get it at least 2 weeks earlier than the street date, pre-order over at rightstuf.

SKYFISH GONE WILD!

I'm actually surprised this has taken so long. This was announced when episode III started production.

We're all ignoring the obvious. Ownerhip of HG & Tatsunoku, then do a quick turn around sale to Bandai Visual, and then we get both profit, & Macross merch in the U.S. Win!

-1:1 replica of Basara's guitar -Singing dancing Minmay doll -Misa maid cleaning service, all maids dress up in Misa atire & come clean your house/apartment -1:1 replica of Hikaru's pilot scarf, as worn by Mari Iijima for a day. -Sivil maid cleaning service, same as Misa maid service, but in Sivil atire! -1:1 flying bicycle, both eco-friendly & fun. -1/60 VF-4, damnit Yamato, get off your asses. -1/60 shiny metalic VF-19 Kai with some kinda crazy bose speaker system, & built in MP3 player, shoulders raising to reveal rainbow light generator, & optional sound booster for parties. -1:1 Diamond Force style flight suit, with DYRL style helmet (color mataching of course). Diamond Force did have the worst helmets ever. -1/10 scale Speaker Pod gun with rounds that seal the holes around them to shoot into your neighbor's house when they complain about the noise from the afore mentioned party. -Pin-Point Barrier Punch glove. Just imagine it, you could walk around yelling "PIN-POINT BARRIER PUUUUNNNCCCHH!! & bash holes into things! -1:1 Gubaba. The perfect pet. He apparently doesn't poo, doesn't eat (and if he does, then not much), warns you of danger, is small enough to sneak into stores, resturants, etc, without issue, and can track you down if you're ever kidnapped. Awesome pet. Also a chick magnet. -Rex Biker gangs...if all gangs were like that, then this would be a much much better world.

At that point, if they wanted to give out the disc "free" it would make sense. But to buy a disc that gives ou absolutely nothing, and then having to pay again for game components is infinately gay. Hey, I've got an idea. They should also charge you for auto-repair everytime you have a collision on the track. Include realistic damage, & realistic sheister mechanics. Brilliant!

The illegitimate child thing was just a rumor in the TRASH manga, he wasn't actually Max's son. Just as there's no real evidence that Max was ever fooling around on Milia. The official explanation for their strained relationship was conflicting ranks, Milia wanted to be equal to, not ranked under Max, so she left the Military & took the highest civillian position she could find, i.e. Mayor. And the conflicts of the two positions is what put the distance between them.

Has Bandai ever done an MG Hi-Nu? And if not...why the hell not!

The bootleg isn't "that" bad, it's a nice holdover at least until this is out. But with a little luck, the BV release will perfectly mimic the R2, which is a single set with 4 disc's (2 disc amaray cases), mini book, etc.

Ok, I'll reivse that to "first"

That's from the R2 special edition set extra's. Hopefully it will still be on the R1 Honeamise release of Gunbuster. And for that matter...hopefully it'll be out this year!

Hey, don't knock the Turn-A. It's the only mecha in existence with a true "cock"-pit!

Damn you guys, now even I want this!

I'm somewhat mixed about these new CG effects versions. I like the concept of going back to the original prints & restoring them, but the inner purist in me hates the idea of re-recording the music & doing the ship scenes in CG. Though to be honest, I'd rather they go back into every series in give them II-VI movie style uniforms, instead of the pajama's they wear in every TV series.

ADV's extra's more often than not (with the exception of the Mari extra's on Macross) are fluff, so I feel safe in waiting. As for Yamato, I'd actually hope a company like Funimation would get that, as ADV & Bandai would almost surely find a way to ruin it. It's also doubtful anyone but Bandai & Honeamise will be able to touch Gundam, though here's hoping Honeamise makes a bid for the new remastered 0079 set once it's out in Japan.

Hmm, so what you're saying is, Lucas should donate all of his excess cash to us Macross Worlder's, so he can get back in touch with his inner struggling artist...BRILLIANT! Now the only trick is convincing him.
