**MrRoboto19XX** · 03-02-2006, 10:12 PM

So apparently demand in Japan is so high now that some stores are buying back people's units if they have all the packaging/etc. at higher than retail, then selling them at higher than retail.

If you order one off Lik-Sang it's going to cost you $200 now.

Ugh. Educate yourself.

Nevermind, I'll do it for you.

On topic, at this rate we'll never get the DS Lite in the states... they're going to have a hard enough time meeting demand in Japan.

any true gamer here should know why the Japanese don't like the xbox. For the same reason I don't like the Xbox. The kinds of games and gameplay don't appeal to me. I would rather play mario party on the 64 than need for speed or madden 2006.

Forgot, true gamers only play Mario Party on the 64, oldz schoolz style.

But seriously, Xbox doesn't have 'hardcore gamerz' type of games? Did you happen to forget that it plays host to Outrun 2, or what about Panzer Dragoon Orta, or wait, there's also Shenmue 2, oh and Metal Slug 3, and then there's some Guilty Gear X2, etc etc.

Doesn't really matter which system you play games on people, just buy'em. I hate Microsoft, and guess what, I bought the 360.

I enjoy it too.

I didnt say only true gamers play party games, I meant that a true gamer would understand the difference between mario party and madden 2006.

I wouldent call someone a true gamer based on the genre of games they play though...

Anyway, those pictures were crazy, and I had to laugh out loud at the line for 360

I am going to share this on my other forum.

LMAO! .......Oh! you were actually serious, sorry.

**RCM** · 03-03-2006, 07:36 PM

I'm shocked that a system that's a year and a half old could get lines like that. Insane.

**studvicious** · 03-03-2006, 11:18 PM

Just wait for the Revolution launch, especially in Japan - THAT will be insane!

**Jorpho** · 03-04-2006, 12:39 PM

Eh. I remember the N64 launch pics looking pretty insane back in the day, too.

**Jasoco** · 03-06-2006, 05:07 AM

I remember news stories from the N64 launch. Man that was crazy. But lucky me, I got an N64 that Christmas.. but no game. My parents said they found one hidden on a shelf pushed back. I was lucky then. I didn't get a game until mid-January when my uncle found a copy of Mario 64 and shipped it to us. Man, what a super ultra happy day that was loading up my N64 for the first time and hearing that oh so familiar "Ding! It's me! Mario!"

I can't wait for the US launch. I was gonna get the black one before I realized it's blue. Bah. I'll get the white one instead. UNLESS they bundle it with NEW Super Mario Bros. Then I'll get that. I hope they do.

From the DS launch in 2004:
One of these things is not like the others. One of these thing just doesn't belong. [Click] Guess what it is.

:lol: (Not mine)
