Nope, because I didn't buy it. It was a Christmas gift from my rents.
Well there's your problem. When my parents want to get me a gift they give me some money and tell me to buy myself something nice (which is the way I want it, that way I get what I want).
My parents still request a list each year (preferably in a Word document with links) so they know exactly what I want. With few exceptions, such as our toaster randomly blowing up, our household really isn't all that big on 'the element of surprise.'

I turned on Ys Chronicle 1 for PSP, and when I started the game it gave me two options.

One said Chronicles (2009) and the other one said some other shit (2001) - maybe it was Ancients? What's the difference between the two modes?

It should be chronicles(09) and complete(01). i think complete is the pc version? Most of it has to do with graphics I think

As an Ace Attorney fan, the Blue Badger still terrifies me. If you haven't played the games very much, you're probably wondering how something like this can be scary:

This is why.

I played Gauntlet Dark Legacy today (Gamecube) and I remembered how moderately priced it was when I picked it up off of half.com in May of 2013 (CIB $20), and then I went to VGPC and noticed the CIB average price for the GC version in 2014 skyrocketed to just over $40. Recent completed CIBs on eBay are going for $30-$55!!!!!!

I've seen GC/Xbox/PS2 releases just like this where the GC version costs the most, but what is it about this port? All I have to go on is the back of the case where it says that there are tons of exclusive features to the GC version. Does the PS2 or Xbox ports have as many items/characters as the GC does?

Now that is an honest statement. Best way I have ever heard it put!

I've called it a Nintendo price premium in other places in the forums, but Nintendo tax makes it so much better. Just the mere presence of the name makes the price jump $10-$20 :lol:

I've been thinking about picking up a 360 for a while and I finally came up on some spare cash but is there really a reason to get one? I'm pretty much only getting it for the exclusives as I already have a PS3. Plus I just bought a Wii U and PS4. I was thinking of picking it up from cowboom as they have it on sale for $70 shipped. Does the price justify it or should I hold out for another year or so?
