[Completly OT] Xbox or PS2?

[Destil]

Nintendo is also completly unopposed in the hand-held market, with the GBA, and there are basicly no chances of that changing any time in the forseable future.

And, personaly, I'd take my GBA over my PS2 any day. Given games like Castelvania: Circle of the Moon, Advanced Wars, Golden Sun, Ogre Battle: Knight of Lodis, F-Zero: Maximum Veloicty, Graidus Galiexys, Metroid Fusion; yhe upcoming Final Fantasy Tacticts sequal, Golden Sun II. Also there's ports of some of the finest games of all time like Zelda III and Super Mario World II, the upcoming Seiken Densetsu Remake, and full backwards compatability with the GBC and GB...

Also of note, Capcom did the Recent re-release of The Legend of Zelda: A link to the Past & Four Swords for the GBA, and Orcals of Seasons / Time for the Game Boy Color. HAL labs handled both Super Smash Brothers Melee and the most Recent Kirby Game for the GBA.

If you're interested in the online aspects of XBox Live vs. other consoles, I'd recommend this:

Dont forget Contra

A "rumor" that I heard was that soon the Big N will be releasing an attachment that allows you to hook up your GBA to your GC and play on the bigscreen, or work as a net work to allow you to see all 4 in a splitscreen like formation. Now if you hav heard rumors that this is false I will remind you that N has "officially" said that they will not make an add on that allows you to play GBA games on your game cube. This new one will allow you to play GBA games on your GBA and you can see them on the TV. If this never gets released don't come pointing fingers at me, but I have quite a relible source.

You could always just buy this...

And skip the whole "Need a 'cube" dealy Nintendo is trying for.

It voids your warrenty, sure, but since everyone who has a GBA I know has an Afterburner already, that's not an issue for us.

Ahhh yes . But there are alot of people who would never have the technical know-how to install this

I thought about getting one, untill I saw the comparison shots from I think it was IGN that showed the GBA screen shots from their "official" unit to the TV and the TVdva and the "unofficial" one looked alittle more . . . Squashed and the colors were a bit faded (nothing that you can fix with the adjustments). Aside from that if you get that you would need to get 4 TVs to play multiplayer (unless you were playing advance wars ) Besides it would just give me another excuse to but a GC (which I dont know how much longer I can hold out before I just go pick it up with like 4-5 games under my arms. . . .)

I mentioned the GBA player you're thinking of earlier in this thread. It will retail in May 2003 for about $40 and be available in 4 different colors (black, indigo, platinum, and... ?).

Here's a link to the official specs.

Here's a link to some impressions of the hardware.

I am not sure that EB would give you that $100 towards and if you did you would be getting ripped off. My best recomendation is to save all that stuff and have a gameing legend, but I'll send you an email instead Do you accept paypal?

I haven't received an e-mail from you yet. Yes, I would accept Paypal.

Hmm I just emailed you again. I emailed the first time right after I posted that one. Let me know if you don't get it here. Sorry about that.

 

[Sir Edgar]

Thanks, I got it. Sounds reasonable, but I'd still have to sell all my other games besides Grandia II as well as the accessories. Also, does the amount you offered include S&H? I don't know how much that would be, but if it doesn't include S&H then...
