I agree with this. If you're a long term Cave - or even just a shmup fan - you've already learned that sometimes you need to spend a little more to get what you want, such are the tribulations of being an import gamer.Strider77 wrote:I don't understand how you can be a cave fan and not have gotten used to region lock outs and buying a modded system or import system.
Unless you pirate games or use mame... which are totally viable play methods if a bit seedy, you have to mod or import a console. This forum has become a boiling pot of shipping updates and crying over region lockouts. Region locking is the gayest thing on the planet... but if you have been playing legit cave ports bfore the 360 then its nothing new. Just get a J360 and be done with it... you'll have WAY LESS games locked out of a japan console than any other and not have to hold your breath or wait for a localized version.
Playing cave games ain't a cheap hobby unless you pirate and use roms, and if that's the case then deal.
My point is bite the bullet and get a Japanese 360 if these cave games are that important to you. You can play most all other region games on it along with the cave games and anything else japan throws out on 360. It'll cost you about 150 over a US system but I bet alot would pay someone 150 bucks if they said the could region mod a 360 with you still being able to go online.
This rant is directed at anyone particular... just my annoyance at trying filter threw so much wasted space on nothing that's happened since mushi went region free.
In other words, give it a rest, enjoy Espgaluda 2, start saving your pennies. Hell, if you're dumb enough to drop $140 on one game, you're dumb enough to buy a second console for not a great deal more.
