$2 is $0.01 more than I paid for my nice complete copy. :lol: I probably won't get to it either, but it is relatively well-reviewed. Moreover, it has this fantastic early '80s high-fantasy vibe that is actually pretty unique for games of its generation. According to IGN:

"Playing out after each completed mission like a dark episode of The Care Bears or The Smurfs, this is a lighthearted fantasy running wild with its younger gamer origins. . . . Musically, PRYZM is unnaturally well done, with an 80's quality soundtrack that has plenty of range and emotion to back up its oboes and harpsichords."

Also, the name of the world in this game is Lumanantia, which sounds like something from the Ronald Chevalier school of fantasy writing.

EDIT: Also, is it too late to start keeping my finger crossed for Chapter Two?
DICE is getting around to Mirror's Edge 2, so maybe they'll be happy to revisit this as well?

I just couldn't walk away from this for $60. It's in really good shape, clean, and it still has that new system smell...

Been looking to get a back up Xbox since mine has been acting a bit weird recently. Ended up bumping into one at the pawns last night. Was kind of confused by it at first thanks to the accessories :P. Attached to the bottom is an Intec wireless a/v switch with extra storage bays :P.

Ended up paying probably a little to much at $40 :P but I didn't realize how bad off the controllers were :P. Came with a third party memory card and 3 controllers. Controllers are junk though :P one official duke with no break away cable, and two third party controllers one of which has a frayed wire all of them need replacement sticks since someone did a horrible job of scraping off the rubber. The A/V switch is also missing the power adapter so I will have to hunt down a replacement :P.

Actually I'd say you made out just fine. That Intech add-on pretty much makes up the cost of what you spent by itself.

Yeah it's quite a monster lol. I actually like the look though Intec did a really good job with the base. It's perfectly molded to the system and the style matches the Xbox perfectly.
