Did they ever announce an exact release date for the import GameCube? It'll obviously be before the American one (November 5th) but when? ...

[Crono]

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>If so, it'd likely be talked about before now, right? They already have those games ready, like the Luigi one, Smash Brothers2, Wave Race, etc. And they have 1080 in the works, Mario game, Metroid, etc. They said originally, what, July for the Japan release? If not, it'd have to be by August.... otherwise a November release in America seems too soon. And all they've been talking about after E3 is the American release date (which to me, means nuffin).</div>

[ManaMan]

<div style='font: 12pt Helvetica; text-align: left; '>Why? Can't wait 4 months?</div>

[Tortolia]

<div style='font: 9pt arial; text-align: left; '>Because there's nothing like spending an extra wad of money to play expensive imported launch titles early. Impress the ladies!</div>

[WooJin]

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>9-14</div>

[Torgo]

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Last week I saw a Game Boy Advance for 9800 Yen(about $82) and games going for less than 3000.

Of course, it's getting to Japan that's the killer part...</div>

[Torgo]

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Crap, I kinda wanted to get one when I go there in August.</div>

[Eric]

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Gotta break it down for you eh? Translation: He had alot of money, but he only mentions it casually.</div>

[WooJin]

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Just pick up lots of old games. They have lots of stores that keep the games in good condition and sell them cheap :P</div>

[Torgo]

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Silly ManaMan. Couldn't you tell by the way he used 2 blings instead of one?</div>

[Lee S.]

<div style='font: 9pt arial; text-align: justify; '>So you don't just see a white page filled with porn advertisements? Weird. I even checked this at my friend's house to make sure it wasn't just my computer. Maybe Nintendo just graced my home town with it.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Ahhhhh yes, Nintendo has finally grown up! GO NINTENDO!</div>

[Crono]

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Yah, same plan I'd had myself. Looks like I'll hafta get someone there to send it (which is a pain, but, at least then it costs under 200 bucks).</div>

[Crono]

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Nah, I wish. I'm a bologna and eggo waffle man lately (yes, even my food is ghetto).</div>

[Crono]

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Actually, the import system costs LESS than the American one when you buy it in Yen (and not from import stores). That, and, since 99.9% of the games I buy are imports (seeing how rarely there's an american-MADE game i want).</div>

[Crono]

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Well, mod chips and such are hard to find on modern systems. And since every game I buy is from Japan, owning the American systems seems pointless (especially in the case of PS2). And even then, The import (at its actual price) is under/at 200 bucks with the Yen value lately.</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 10pt "Arial bold"; text-align: left; '>September in Japan</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 10pt "Arial bold"; text-align: left; '>You don't buy domestic games at all?</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 10pt "Arial bold"; text-align: left; '>You can get the majority of them here for (WAY) cheaper if you just wait a couple of months. Project Justice (Rival Schools 2) for DC for instance</div>

[Crono]

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>I don't have an American PS2, and therefore don't own a single american game for it. But as of now, I wouldn't wanna in the first place. As for Dreamcast, the ratio is like 70+ imports to not even ten domestics. And for PSX, I DID buy almost all American in the olden days, but in the past year i've gotten maybe two games (like Lunar, etc). That is, of course, aside from all the domestic PSX/DC games I hope to buy now that the prices are dirt cheap (like when Saturn died).</div>

[Crono]

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>That's a moot point, though. If there's a Capcom fighter that I'm in love with that much (like when MvC2 came out) there's no way I'm waiting three or more months for a modified American one JUST to save ten bucks.</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 10pt "Arial bold"; text-align: left; '>I'm the otehr way around. I own 10 total Saturn imports and 3 DC ones. That's it</div>

What the epic thread necro dude wtf.

Full decade. A phantom of the PSX era of gaming.
