It is there, in 'arcade history' since the very first start of Tekken 5 on your PS2 only 'old' game you have to unlock ist star blade.

the only 'old' game you have to unlock ist star blade.

For your older tekkens arcade enjoyment, you can try this btw:
While at the Press Start screen for any of the Arcade History games, hold the select button and you will be given a list of dip switches. You can use these for such things as changing number of rounds or unlocking hidden characters, such as Baek in Tekken 2.


2)) For PS2 owners, you might wanna try this website if online purchase does not rebut you:
http://www.psreporter.com/cheap_play...n_2_games.html

I just bought an Xbox Live 12-Month Starter Kit for $17.48 at Target. I got Project Gotham Racing 2, Xbox Live Communicator Headset, and 12 month card. Its really worth buying if you have an Xbox or Xbox 360. I checked the box and it said Xbox 360 Compatible. And when i checked the box it said Subscription must be activated by 3/31/07 so buy this if you want an Xbox 360 later down the road or something.


Also at EB Games or Gamestop you can find N-Gage QD systems for like $20 or so. Also their games are like for $3.00 or so.


Just bought Battlefield 2 for my pc today for $20 @ Staples. Best price i found in ages for the game.

I just bought Jet Set Radio Future USED for the Xbox for .99 cents and after tax it came out to $1.08 at EB Games or GameStop.

Jet Set Radio Future- USED
http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?...eid=0040451529

Make sure to print it out and when you go there show it to them. The orginal price used is 7.99 so you save a bit of money on this.

BTW, at Electronics Boutique, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas is $14.99 for the PC...

Er a question - How much is SotC at the stores you go to? I went to Gamespot and it says $19.99, so I was wondering if stores actually had it at this price.

[Paratech]

Now you know why I went NTSC.

Hell, you can get it cheaper in the UK (which is quite amazing seeing how we get ripped off 99% of the time.)
