I like Millia in that first source pic.

Riiiight... Unless you meant lead as in "a hail of bullets" instead of lead as in "the front of the pack".

Depressing but true, an add on reader for other types of cards would almost negate the need for a hard drive given that you can get CFII cards up to 4GB. I thought those multi-gig CompactFlash cards WERE hard drives.

I still like Kaifun's car in the original series.

Hard drive's in the backlpack with the battery. Remember the Proton Packs they used in Ghostbusters? Now imagine that, instead of going to a thrower, the cord runs from the backpack into a PSP. NintendoBusters! Coming this summer from Sony Pictures!

I hadn't heard that rumor. ... It'd be awesome if that was introduced at the same price point, like the slimmed-down PS2 with integrated ethernet was. I really wonder about this rumor... sony would have to have a really nice battery to be able to power that thing... but if it happened, I would get one... and that would pretty much kill the ipod. Backpack battery. Solves everything.

Ooooohhh, greeen. My favorite color.

I'm using Winamp. 2.91. Don't feel like upgrading to 5.

Simple solution for that: Don't buy it. Or buy it for Lumines anyway, and trust that the games you want will start to come in for it. But you see... I buy hardware for software. I don't buy software for hardware. A system with no games I want is crap, regardless of how powerful it is. Besides, while I'm sure somethign I want WILL come out eventually, when it does we'll be a price cut or 2 down the road, as well as 3 hardware revisions. I'll get a better sysetm for less money. Hardware revisions won't be like the N-Gage's. Any hardware revisions that Sony will do to the PSP at this point would either increase the price, or negate any potential price drop. nah it won't be anything major. most likely better latches for the disc launcher and maybe better analog stick. Right. I wasn't speaking in terms of new case, new features, etc. I was speaking in terms of fixing existing flaws(one's already done, yay!) and reducing the cost. There are not two versions of the NES. There's close to 15. There are not 2, 3, or even 4, PS1s. There's about 10 if I recall.

Personally, I thught Mac7 was interesting from the start. It's the later episodes that are annoying me somewhat. But some people are doing what I consider the equivalent of judging the entirity of the original Macross story based on Flashback 2012. If you give it a fair chance, fine. If you watch 2 episodes and deem the whole thing crap, that's diffrent

I had a Max 1J when I was little. The chest plate hinge bars broke 2 or 3 times before we quit gluing it back together and threw it out.

Is that something to be proud of? We know about half the people voting (41 of 84?) HATE M7. Does this mean the other half like M7? No. Somethin' like 20 people hate M2 more than M7 but it seems to me a large number of those people have hated both but dislike M2 more than M7. So, seems the numbers work out where the majority hates M7, a large number more are probably neutral, and a few people like it. That being said, different strokes for different folks. Wasn't my cup of tea.- It still disproves the common belief that everyone hates Macross 7 more than anything else. And some of those votes are from people that never SAW Mac7, or saw so little that it doesn't matter*, and have formed their opinions based on what others have said. *Some would argue that it doesn't matter if what little they saw turned them off totally. I'd say they are wrong. I can assemble a good argument that SDF Macross is steaming feces based on selected episodes. I'd be wrong, but I could do it.

Some people like it, most hate it. According to the poll, less than 50% hate it. Or at least, less than 50% hate it with the blinding fury of a thousand suns that makes all other hatreds trivial. A fulll 27% have no hatred for it. Anyways, like I said, Final Vegeta is "special".

I'll totally agree on the lack of a display unit thing. I've met people who weren't really interested, played with mine or someone else's, then went about trying to coming up with $250 to get their own. People need a chance to see and feel the PSP in person to see what makes it stand apart from previous handhelds. I've seen it. It's pretty. Haven't actually played it, though. The buttons look too close to the edge for my tastes. I think it'd be uncomfortable for extended gaming. I've seen this mentioned as a flaw in at least one hardware review, along with the battery life. But here's the thing... there's NOTHING I WANT FOR IT. Sum total of interest = 1 puzzle game. And I'm not paying 250$ to see if Lumines is worth playing.

lol basara or boxana in some bad dubs is rolling around in his valk with all this fighting we have. My reason I hate Mac7 is the storyline was too slow since it has a pretty large amount of characters they have to develope. If it was live action and not in space it would be a soap opera. As the Battle7 turns, Mylene must choose to love the person who doesn't know she exist or the man her dominating mother has shoved into her face. Will gubaba find out he has legs and arms? And will exodor discover true love being the only full sized zentran on the fleet. *cackles*

Well, you didn't ask me this. . . but the guy's post is deserving of some heavy ridicule. . . or maybe it just deserved to be ignored. I can't decide. If I follow it correctly (and who's to know!). . . it goes something like: Those who hate M7 are engaging in propoganda. The Nazis engaged in propoganda. Here's some quotes from Hitler. The US engages in propoganda and everything it has ever stood against has been a figment of its psychotic populations' imaginations. There is a lot of inequality in the world. The US is a bunch of Nazis. M7 is like the "Real World." Brainwash. Now. . . even if we open our minds very wide and accept that this sorta stuff can be posted here. . . it's still utter BS. We've got a Marxist on our hands who just read Mein Kampf and now thinks everything he sees bears some relation to it and his worldview. H See I don't even read that guy's posts. But yeah, I can't decide... Is his head filled with human feces or dog feces? I am now agreeing with AgentONE. In a Macross 7 thread. The world has now ended.

I wouldn't say that. It just sounds to me like he's been enveloped in a lot of Left-wing rhetoric. To paraphrase one of our former Presidents: "It's not that he's stupid. It's that he knows a lot of things that just aren't so." H I'm not talking solely about his spouting of random conspiracy theories. Even when he's NOT making a ny vaguely political comments he's an idiot.

Ok, that was the most f'd up defense of Macross 7 I've ever read in my life. And people say I come up with weird defenses for the Spartas..... He's really not a very sharp guy. Better off ignoring him. Final Vegeta and Lowviz lurker are the most difficult people to understand on this board. Final Vegeta's not hard to understand. He's just everything one expects from someone with a DBZ screenname(read: stupid).

There was SOME selectiveness, though. Max and Kakizaki both tested well. It just turned out that only one of them was good in a real fight. Kakizaki may've been shaping up to be a decent pilot, but the barrier overload killed him. Not really his fault. To make matters worse, the VF-1 wasn't exactly a great space fighter anyways. It was our first try, and we made a lot of mistakes. Hence the FAST packs. More thrust, more reaction mass, more verniers.

*nods* I went in with the understanding that it was a very "love it or hate it" thing, based on what a few... vocal... people here have to say, as well as reviews scattered about the internet. Random thought... the Valk faces are very Gundam. And more Max and Millia is ALWAYS a good thing. They need to remake the original series, but focus on Max and Millia instead. Added bonus to more Millia: more QRaus. But... he got Millia's VF-1J blown up. I'm pretty sure that's a sin.
