[quote name='Brak']That's cool that Microsoft is rewarding achievement points.

Since I have over 10,000, I'm in the third bracket.

I wouldn't mind getting Fuzion Frenzy 2 for free, since I sure as fuck don't want to pay for it.[/QUOTE]

I wonder what having a sweet 700 points will get me? A free pepsi? A free bag of skittles? I can only dream.

By then, I'll hopefully be in the second or third bracket.

Well, I go to school for free thanks to the Georgia HOPE Scholarship. I even receive a check from the school! ($48 both fall & spring semesters). I believe I might be able to get the Pell Grant and/or the SMART grant or whatever this year since I'm living on my own. I;m trying to find more info about the Pell Grant, such as the max amount of money I could make and still be able to get it but the FAFSA site sucks.

Totally misread that. Though you said it wasn't as cool as free titties would have been though. :whistle2:#:D

Now maybe they will start attempting to get more Wii's on the market.

I'm assuming they're attempting. Just that they can't meet the demand. Now the real question is, how many more would they be selling if they had entered the market at a cool $199 price point.

I would have gotten one for 200, but at 250 I plan on passing and getting a PS3 instead since it actually has games I want to play (everyone makes fun of it, but I really would like to play Resistance and Virtua Fighter).

The same exact number as they are selling now? ;)
 
[quote name='2poor']When is Red Alert 3 going to be released?[/quote]

Never?;)

I'm really just hoping that EA will manage not to ruin C&C 3 at the moment, C&C Generals was a bit of a trainwreck.
 
Man, this whole thing on CAG that somehow EVERY game must be rare because "omg my Best Buy had in 5 copies on release OH NOEZ?!?!" is really really annoying. It's like every game will one day be worth mega bucks and they somehow have to justify a full price purchase to themselves.

I can't honestly believe people think Final Fantasy VI Advance is going to be hard to find.

It's like CAG gets dumber every day, and buys games for the ENTIRELY wrong reasons.

I didn't think Generals was too bad, but it wasn't Command & Conquer. If they had renamed it, people would've probably liked it more.

Well CAG is compirsed of 3 types of people:

1. Potential Scalpers, who will buy a product just to sell it on ebay even if the return on their investment after ebay fees, shipping cost and gas is less than $2.

2. Gamers who have so many games already that the only justification they can find for buying another game is that it's hard to find and will cost them more to buy later.

3. Gamers who've sold off most of their collection of games they'll never get around to playing and are more interested in getting deals on certain specific games that they've been waiting months for. Sadly this group is less than 5% of the total site.

I've resigned myself to only really being able to game during winter and summer breaks, so I can pick up titles pretty much at leisure. They're going to be old by the time I get around to playing them anyway, so if I have to wait, so what?

China Infantry was way unbalanced. But Jarmen Kell on a bike could smoke them from half way across the map.

I have a ton of games because of this site, I continue to buy games from time to time, and yet I still refuse to pay full price for anything. I thought I'd buy FFXII and Zelda:TP when they came out, but I still haven't. I've discovered I just like the chase and the hunt involved in trying to find some of these deals, and have applied what I've picked up from here to buying other things.

I will admit though that I've given some thought to selling off some of my excess of games. Simply because some of the games I may never get around to playing, others I've played once and never want to play again and others I've finished and won't go back to them.

Actually this is the first time I've actually owned a copy of FF6. I borrowed it from a classmate back in high school... god do I feel much older already just thinking about how (not so) long ago that was.

Which is why you used Chinese Infantry with tanks as back up. GLA tanks were crap and the scub storm was just plain pathetic.

Thanks, I thought of it last night coming home from work, I was just trying to figure out which characer would work the best.

And all this talk about generals is making me want to actually finish it......who knows if I will, but it got me thinking.

The scud storm did have that nice looking blue color after it hit though.

True. I think the GLA would have been awesome if they didn't have a base. Imagine an army comprised of units scavenging money, hiding out in random building and new units being requested from off map rather than built onsite from a structure. The whole central base bit made the GLA far too easy to over run since they lacked anything that could withstand a good tank rush.

[quote name='jmcc']Why don't you own it in at least two forms already?[/quote]

I already have FFVI for the SNES and PS1, but I'm thinking about getting FF Advanced... assuming the price is ever right, we're talking $10 or less here. I got the ps1 version primarily for FF V, but I did play through FF VI again as well. FF VI is easily one of my all-time favorite games, so I could see myself buying another version of it depending on how many extras have been added on.

I bought FFIV advanced on clearance despite owning FFIV for the SNES, simply because my copy was used ~ my dad became semi-obsessed with getting used games for a short period of time ~ and isn't in the best shape, cart only too. Not to mention I no longer have an SNES.

And also that FFIV Advance is more true to the original Japan version. :D
