I wish I could help you with you Live problems, man. I know what a pain in the butt immature players can be.

Maybe I'll buy a subscription whenever I get a job. <-- *Is a loser*

It's alright man, at 17 a job isn't the most pressing thing. But it's good to lay some foundations.

Live subscriptions are a much better deal on ebay than in the store...word of advice.

If you're going to take forever, then I'm having a hotdog!

I had a job last year at the subway my mom/dad/uncle owned, but it was anything but steady. I wish I had one though; I still have my sights set on Twilight Princess and right now I have but a dollar in my wallet.

I've always heard it's one of the best.

I've never like emulators. Aside from them being illegal, I could just never get used to controlling console games with a Keyboard/Mouse.

You don't have to worry about the keyboard/mouse if you buy a gamepad

The way I see it, the only way I can get legit NES games nowadays is pretty much eBay. And when I buy from eBay, Nintendo doesn't get my money, some idiot who sells bootleg Star Wars DVDs that already bought the game gets it. So to me, there really isn't any point. I can understand getting angry over the legal aspects of emulating PS2 or Xbox games, but Atari 2600? Commodore 64? Sinclaire Spectrum!? Sega 32X?!?! What are the odds of me being able to find a Sinclaire Spectrum, not to mention games, even from eBay?

I have my standards for emulation: only download games that are out of print. How is this any different from downloading someone's .ISO of a Star Wars OOT laserdisc?

*Shrugs* Either way, I rarely play games on the PC anyway. It would be easier for me to just use the Virtual Consol System whenever the Big N gets it up and running.

Uh-Oh, I just realized something. When the Nintendo Revolution is released, the downloadable Nintendo games will cost a few bucks a pop. Which means that Nintendo emulation may come under fire even more than usual.

............Shit! A flaw in my scheme!

Its abandonware until it hits the fan. Got a little time to get those games before the new system comes out.

That's fine by me. There are still plenty of good games coming out on Gamecube that I'll want, such as:

1. Fantastic 4;
2. The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess;
3. Prince Of Persia 3;
4. Shadow The Hedgehog;
5. Spartan: Total Warrior; and
6. Ultimate Spider-Man

I would, but you dont' get jack squat for anything but the newest of releases, or really rare games.

Well, out of five games, three of them totalled up to $100 trade in, the other two only 10 bucks a piece.

Well unless Capcom does something stupid like try and push visuals equal to the GC version on the PS2, then RE4 should be fine. It's the best game I've played since... Perhaps Metroid Fusion.

My sister's boyfriend has an emulator downloaded, I can remember playing Super Star Wars and the trilogy on the computer, really really difficult.

To Darth Chaltab, I think Capcom could make it with this one. Hopefully Graphics and gameplay for resi 4 will be improved and hopefully it will be better than the Gamecube version.

I just don't think the PS2 can handle the game without cutting some of the graphical amazing-ness the game is famous for. And the load times, geez, the load times.

That's the primary reason the PS2 version won't be as good. The load times are going to kill the sense of Emersion the GC version has.

RE games from the GC and Dreamcast have never transferred well to the PS2.

Did you get Pirates for PC or Xbox? Either way, I've heard both were great games.
