Game Purchases Thread

[Howie]

Burnout Paradise for Xbox 360 has been ordered.

I bought Wii Play for my dad the other day.

My next purchases will be MGS3, MGS PO, and then MGS4 and GT5P when they are released.

Hey Josh, I know you've been asking about if before so I thought I'd post this:

[Josh]

Is it NTSC?

Is it NTSC?

Yeah. It's supposed to be released in March I think. Only MGS, MGS2ubstance and MGS3: Subsistence though. Portable Ops was excluded from this collection for some reason...

[Josh]

I can't access that site at work, and that's why I ask. If it has been announced for an NTSC version in March, then I am definitely buying it when it comes out. I am assuming that MGS is a port of Twin Snakes to PS2?

Should I get Portable Ops or Portable Ops Plus? I am assuming that Portable Ops Plus is to Portable Ops in the same way that Substance is to Sons of Liberty and Subsistence is to Snake Eater, same game with a few more features.

Nope seems to be regular PSX MGS, unfortunately.

Portable Ops+ is actually a online play centered expansion of Portable Ops. No story mode at all. It adds new online gameplay modes, ranks, weapons, soldiers, classes etc. So if you want to play the story mode, you need Portable Ops. And if you like the online part in PO you probably want to consider getting PO+ too.

Thanks for all the information. I guess I should wait until March then. I should also probably wait until I complete 3 before playing Portable Ops right?

Yeah that'd be best, Portable Ops being the sequel to MGS3 and all.

That's what I thought.

One last question, I hope. Doesn't Subsistence contain the pre MGS games?

[Elmdor Rizer]

Off topic but yeah (although, I *think* MGS3 had MG1 and 2. Bonus editions or not), I just felt I should point out how awesome Metal Gear 2 is.

/Runs.

Welcome to the club.

So I just escalated my claim against Foundmy.com with Paypal. I haven't gotten a single fucking e-mail from them after sending them several, including the ones that Paypal auto-generates when I post a message to my open case against them.

I really just wanted confirmation that my order was processed, as well as an estimated time of arrival for the item I ordered, seeing as they've already charged me for it and all that. They couldn't even give me that, and now I just want my fucking money back.

By the by, does anyone know of a good site from which to get a reasonably cheap XenoGC chip? I've searched and can't seem to find it anywhere, and at this point I don't want to search any longer. I'm just about done with this shit. So yeah, any help would be appreciated.

I'm sorry I recommended them...

I don't blame you. Not at all.

It's just that, well, most sites give you an e-mail when you order something, confirming that the order was processed. Even if they don't have a shipping date for you, they at least let you know that they got your order and that further updates will be forthcoming. All these guys did was stick their fingers up my ass and give me a prostate exam. They have my money, I have nothing at all to show for it.

It wouldn't be any big deal, but I can't find an alternative site to save my life.
