Which camp do you stand in?

seriously GCz have dropped to 50-100$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I dunno why it costs so much in Brazil

[GreenShyguy]

Well, isn't the GC still cheaper than its contemporaries, the PS2 and the X-Box?

I think when Arf said the GC was cheap, he meant relatively speaking.

Of course you don't.

Maybe. But it still would cost me three times what it should, so meh.

[Arf]

really they started out like $150 rite? a lot cheaper than Ps2 and Xbox in any case. and think about by the time comes out in America......I think GC will be affordable to all by then.

To you. Not to me. Stop it.

yeah...i can't buy it.......

_{because i already fucking have one ^_^}

Arf, you have NO IDEA how much prices go up for American systems in foreign countries, ESPECIALLY if they're NSTC models (Europe uses PAL stuff). I've seen FFX for as high as 85 Euros (1 Euro = $1.02 US, at least when I was there) in 2002, and that was the PAL model; I don't even want to think of what an NSTC model would go for.

[Arf]

I see. I din know PAL costed more.

[superbus]

It's more or less the places you're buying them in. Video games are more of a luxury over there than they are here, so the prices can go up slightly. It's also usually harder to program for PAL, since you have to include a bunch of languages. Also, they don't get too many good games like the US and Japan; their top game last year, I believe, was Tomb Raider.

well.........from my experience overseas...........1)u see a lot of fake games 2) in the United Arab Emirates in the city of Dubai (very modern city and home to A LOT of buisiness) I saw some games that did not make it to America and some games that were actually pretty good games in America.

[TheParbear]

eh, why dont we all pitch in and buy a good old american GC for TheEnd

Fake games are a reality. At least in Brazil. Specially PSX ones.

But I wouldn't trust false GC, DC, PS2 or any catridges...

Because even if I had it, I wouldn't afford the game and a new TV (mine is a so-old Pal-M that it plays NTSC on black-and-white)?

My problem isn't GC. It's money. Leave it.

[Arf]

well. Like I said. Ive got an Emu for GC. If u want it.

u can get it at gbxemu.com

[TheEnd]

Data venia, I can find emulators and isos by myself.

I doubt my PC would be able to run a GC game smoothly, even if there was a working emu, though.

There were a SHITLOAD of fakes in UAE, and while that's bad if you don't own a modded PS2, that's awesome if you own a Gameboy Advance.

Arf, did you see those "108 in 1" games over there? I managed to get my hands on one of them, and I love it.
