They just shipped mine. Wasn't expecting that to happen. =\

Alternatively I could lock the topic, if you would prefer.
Dude, you're so cool. God I wish I was you.

2 days left, you fucking faggot.
I deleted the rest of your countdown posts for you. Spamming the forum is against the rules, please read them as you broke another one just then. If they're too difficult to follow, let us know by way of breaking them again or throwing some more insults.

See above - forum spamming. It's why we don't allow 'bump' posts too. So, let say one person bumps a thread needlessly, then another guy does a different one, another a third (and so on). All of this goes into the database.

There are two reasons this is bad. 1) it's annoying - it flags topics as having new content when in fact there is none, pushing other topics down in the list. This is worst on the trading forum, it's simply unfair to people who aren't bumping them. 2) it increases the size of the database pointlessly.

It makes sense on the trading forum though. One seller can keep one thread for selling their stuff by editing the original post and bumpin the thread instead of creating new threads everytime they sell something or can bump if they drop prices because they had no takers. But whatever...
Feedback will set you free.

I don't think he's talking about bumping threads when the list is edited or something like that, he means just posting "bump" to keep the thread higher up without any new content or whatnot.

Yup, that's exactly right. If something has changed - prices, availability - no problem at all.

If you play a game on a harder difficulty or without a handicap they all feel threatened and throw a tantrum like whiny retarded birds trying to protect their nest.

At the risk of sounding all responsible and shit:

Stop. Note this is a Senko No Ronde thread, and it somewhat useful. Don't start this here and get it locked. Go start it on off-topic and get something locked there ;)

On Topic:
Has anywhere started shipping this yet? A friend of mine had preordered it from Play-Asia and is really looking forward to it (as am I). Hopefully they'll have done a decent enough port of it.

Played Senko when I was over in Tokyo a while back and its a lot of fun -- I would love to have it in my living room. This thread is now forcing me to consider buying a Japanese 360, and for that I hate it.

It seems he stopped subscribing, so his personal forums aren't available.

Too bad, because $30 bucks is awesome! There's guy over at neo-geo.com who wants freakin' $80 just to mod a slim-PS2. :?

At any rate, this game does look sweet, but there's too much fighting involved in the gameplay, from what I've seen. If it was all shooting, then I'd be more impressed.

I trust G.Rev to get a very good port of SnR on the 360. That the game reminds me of Psychic Force (the fighting elements) and Change Air Blade (the boss morphing) rolled into one surely has had me interested.
Kinect? KIN NOT.

I think G-Rev will give us a good port. Can't wait to try the 360 version (as I know someone with the NAOMI release). I also believe on the XBOX Live Marketplace you will be able to download new costumes. Normally I think micro-transactions are pretty lame, but things like this are cool! :D

BTW it took a lot of restraint to not comment on the past two days... :wink:

They will undoubtedly be very low.


Hey G.Rev or Microsoft, this is what happens when you region lock games from companies that get a huge chunk of support FROM OTHER COUNTRIES YOU DIPSHITS!

Well $80 is fair for a PS2 mod. They're very difficult. Xbox 360 modding, at least once you've created the neccessary cable for the process is pretty painless. Once you've done one, you can pretty much do as many as you want without the need for soldering or anything delicate.

the 360 mod doesn't require any investment of parts either, since it's not a chip. You just need to hook up the 360 DVD drive to a computer and flash the bios. $30 sounds fair. That's what I payed for my cube mod.

I wonder if some of the import shops around NYC are doing it...

this 360 mod you folks are talking about... what does it do exactly? does it allow you to play imports and still keep the us games working as well? or is it just turning a US 360 into a jpn one basically?
