If you start, I'd start very soon. Gamestop just stopped carrying GC stuff so the Ebay and brick and mortar price creep is going to kick in soon.
I snagged Gotcha Force for $10 from my local retro gaming store, the prices there haven't been going up at all. That's probably where I'll be getting them from.

Hell yeah! PN03 is a masterpiece, one of the top reasons to own a cube.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

girls are so annoying, they waste your time fighting/arguing about something simple. Takes so long for her to understand and there goes all valuable time wasted on some dumb argument.

Just remember that the Wii re-design that makes up most of the current retail stock does not play GCN games.

Just an update on my 32" Sony Wega Trinitron HD flat screen tv
model # KV-32HS510 that i recently picked up.

Everything works fine, but should i worry because there are two very small spot on the screen where its kinda have this greenish gas like appearance. Its very small and kinda goes away after its on for a bit.

Not very annoying, but just curious to what this could mean for the future life of the tv.

I've had TVs that had that issue. It varies from case to case. One TV I had, the spot got bigger and bigger over time. Another one, it disappeared forever after a while. And a third, the spot appears sometimes, and other times it's gone. It's usually caused by someone getting close to the screen with a magnet.

The Boston Globe has been writing a lot lately about the financial troubles of 38 Studios (former Red Sox pitcher, Curt Schilling's company). The company used to be based in Maynard, MA and moved to Providence, RI because of a $75M tax credit deal. It seems that the company will be out of business unless it can get new investments.

38 Studios developed the game "Kingdom of Amalur" and was working on a new MMORPG slated for release next year.

You can read the article about it.

I'm going to try and get the world high score for My Hero on the Master System. According to Twin Galaxies, it's at 850,000, which means I'll have to play the game through about 5 times to beat it. Wish me luck; I'll post an update when I do beat it!
