I can't decide if I want to keep my Halo edition oXbox with no box or my regular, boxed oXbox that is softmodded and has a larger hard drive.

I also can't decide if I want to keep my silver GameCube (no box) or my purple GameCube (with box). I prefer the former one's color, but I also like having boxed systems.

Any thoughts?
Just get boxes for the systems you want to keep, and install a larger hdd and softmod the Halo ed. Xbox.

Easier said than done, unfortunately.

So I'm playing Radiant Historia on Nintendo DS. It's a great RPG (I'm really digging the battle-system). But I have one thing I have to say about it: What's the point of replaying an area after making the wrong decision? Don't we all already do that by using save points?

You know what's annoying? Ps1/Ps2/Gamecube games that only read from the first memory card slot instead of checking both of them.

Makes having to juggle saves between multiple cards harder than it should have to be.

It happens on the Dreamcast too. Very annoying when you have 3 or more memory cards.

I wasn't sure if it happened on there or not as I don't really play it much.

Still, really really annoying. :/

Memory Cards are one thing I am very, very glad we left behind.

Same, I have like 10 PS1 memory cards. Even better is when they get finicky and your stuff gets wiped or they just never want to be read, or you've got some cheap weird ones that only the PS1 itself can read (anyone have some of those like myself?)

It was so fun backing up everything on my PS3.

The data loss thing though, I get self conscience about that nowadays with carts off and on nowadays too. Sometimes I'd just rather emulate a game than bust out a cart, mostly when it comes to the SNES.

Except then, when your console died you still had your save game. :)

At least they're better than battery powered saves. All those 90's kids who thought they "caught em' all" had em taken away at the face of adolescence... Hard times, man.
