The Other Worlds Shrine

Your place for discussion about RPGs, gaming, music, movies, anime, computers, sports, and any other stuff we care to talk about... 

  • I guess we can almost kiss the Sega/Microsoft relation goodbye if these rumors turn out to be true... kinda suck, I know I'm getting an Xbox this Christmas just so I can have all the consoles. Oh well, it'll be interesting to see where things go from here

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

I wonder if in December I'll be the only one here to own a Dreamcast, a GBA, a PS2, a Gamecube, and an Xbox? =P

I know people will whine "How can you afford all of that?" The answer is simple, I don't spend 2-3K on a PC and upgrades every year.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Probably false - IGN isn't gospel. Besides, rumors have changed, now it's supposedly Daytona 3 exclusive for the Xbox (not done by AV, but by AM2).</div>
