  1. If the CDs are still in print, you should still be able to find them online at www.CdJapan.co.jp and Amazon.co.jp.
  2. Wow. I can't wait for the Troops limited edition decapitating Jawa figures, LMAO!
  3. Cronenberg movies always mess with your head... in a very good way.
  4. Are we talking about the same company that locks any non-factory configured Xbox out of Xlive?
  5. Hahaha, I thought I was all alone. What made you stop if you don't mind me asking? If they giving all their future releases the same level of detail and loving attention like the MG Acguy then I'd not stop, but right now the gem/crap ratio is literally 1/1,000... 333678[/snapback] Any other examples of gems apart from the MG Acguy that you know of? 333708[/snapback] Dom and Gelgoog were both outstanding for the time when they were released.
  6. Apparently they are now liquidating the DVDs as well. Last week I saw a truckload of Bandai R1 DVDs on sale for like 6 bucks each - MS Gundam, Wing, G Gundam... pretty much any release that's more than 2 years old are getting the blowout treatment. Added: the store in question was Fry's.
  7. The head sculpt for Asuka seems to be off. They need to make a Misato instead of Shinji...
  8. Hahaha, I thought I was all alone. What made you stop if you don't mind me asking? If they giving all their future releases the same level of detail and loving attention like the MG Acguy then I'd not stop, but right now the gem/crap ratio is literally 1/1,000...
  9. Key word being 'should'. While the manufacturers sing praise of the lasting quality of these optical discs, I already have some CDs in my collection displaying syndromes of laser rot within 10 years of purchase. I wouldn't be surprised to see the same thing in my DVD collection within a few years. All the low prices on DVDs gotta have something to do with relaxed QA standards, in fact I've noticed a rising frequency in bum discs I got as new releases.
  10. Is the gatling gun crooked? It doesn't look like a straightline from the shield to the gun barrels.
  11. Sony's cutting 10,000 jobs as part of its restructuring effort: http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2005-09...-job-cuts_x.htm
  12. Even the box is a ripoff of the 1/100 HG V2 Gundam... too original!
  13. Except the primary reason games went from carts to CDs was the lowered cost and better response time to demand, which translates to higher profit for the publishers. They can always make a game multi-disc if space runs out. I don't see multi-disc games being a deterrent to the millions who bought games like Final Fantasy VII. Game developers who whine about lack of disc space are just making excuses for rushing a half-baked product out of the door.
  14. Your direct link to the clip somehow redirected the browser to the host's NSFW main page.
  15. Raiden seems to be mssing from this new trailer.
  16. The potential is there, but it really comes down to how developers will emphasize on ergonomics. Take the Mario game for example. Back in the old days all it takes is a simple button press to make Mario jump. Now you're supposed to flick your wrist. Imagine doing that for a few hours straight while having to keep your controller's sensor pointed at the TV. No chance of slumping in your chair in a very comfortable position or moving yourself around. I see carpal tunnel syndrom and sore joints written all over the controller after seeing that demo video. Most games involve repetitive type of input no matter how varied developer try to make it with combos and what not. You are still limited to a set of commands. It'll be funny when people start throwing the controllers all over the place by accident and break their windows and other fragile home fixtures.
  17. I hope the JP version of AC0 is dual language like the US release of AC5... Nov. can't come soon enough!!! * Dies from excitement *
  18. Iron Maiden has many songs inspired by sci-fi, books, and history. For example, To Tame a Land off their Piece of Mind album is based on Dune.
  19. If he sounds that bad, ship him off to a boarding school and then military academy.
  20. Wow, an oldass Snake. Looks like a big bird Kojima just flipped at all the whiners who hated having to play Raiden in MGS2.
  21. Anime is still being made for the same age group, for the same reasons - pushing merchandise. Us as an audience has matured in taste, it's the same reason most people found the new trilogy weak compared to the original trilogy of Star Wars.
  22. Does the 12" figure come with a complete torture, er, interrogation kit?
  23. Am I the only one who thinks the Revolution is not looking good when Capcom annoucned PS3 and Xbox 360 editions of Biohazard / RE 5?
  24. Hmmmph, got mine before the US launch. When THOTD2 with light gun came out I just couldn't wait. My 2nd one (Sakura Wars Limited Edition) is still in its pretty box... So many more better import titles on it. WTH was Sega of America doing pumping out tons of sports titles that only end up sitting in the clearance bin for years... If it didn't make all that ugly noise with disc access, I'd probably play it more.
