It's a US release.

Problem with discs is that xbox has one of the worst dvd drives (thompson) which won't read burned discs so you'll need the Samsung or Phillips and even if you have one, why put the miles on it playing something you could play off the HDD? No brainer use the HDD. For the price of replacing your DVD ...

The worst part is that I paid $170 for this system and haven't even played it a full day.

Am I better off buying another saturn and if so, does it have to be another HST 3220?

Model HST 3220 Version, it's white japanese with circular buttons I removed the mod chip and it still works but the boot screen isn't animated anymore it just loads up like a picture and then goes straight to the cd player.

I'm pretty sure Grandia 2 is a double disc and thus near 7 gigs, so if that one's not a dynamite title then it definitely needs to go. Also if you guys know of some of these games which might be a ...

Admittedly I didn't believe you at first till last night I tried it a few times and sure enough there is a subtle auto aim going on. It's not drastic what so ever and you can still miss headshots quite easily but if you're aiming head high and keep your timing you can get mostly head shots with more...

Here's my list, what would you get rid of? Atelier Iris 3 Grand Phantasm Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter Dawn of Mana Disgaea Dragon Quest 8 Everblue 2 Final Fantasy 7 Final Fantasy X Final Fantasy X-2 Final Fantasy XII Grandia 2 Grandia 3 Grim Grimoire Harvest Moon Save the Homeland ICO Jade Cocoon 2...
