You've got a lot of good stuff. Calling All Cars is good, too.

And you'd LOVE the Last Guy.

i watched the little preview video that PSN has, and it looks awesome, but i don't have an enormous tv, and i feel like i wouldn't be able to see anything

!0 controversial moments in games.

I didn't know little big planet had to pull the game days before release. :/

Phoenix Gamma · #**1181**

Yea, someone complained on the Sony message board when the Beta was out, and I guess things got out of hand over there.

Which kinda sucks; the day after, someone was writing about how the song was actually licensed, meaning the song would have to be offensive prior to LBP. Of course, it wasn't, so it was kind of a false alarm.

Ah well, I guess Sony had to cover their asses just incase.

So I downloaded Braid on XBL, it's a great game. But I used my brother's Xbox console to do it, but still downloaded it onto my hard drive. I thought that I could just take my hard drive back to my console (which is currently broken) and keep playing it, but apparently not. I now have the demo, but paid for the full game.

There's a license transfer tool that allows you to move a game from one box to another. I think it's on Microsoft's website but I don't know the specifics of how to use it

Hey, thanks.

King Hadas · #**1185**

I wasn't sure where to look this up so I'll just ask here. I understand you need to modify your ps2 in order to play imported games. Now, does that apply to games imported from the UK?

Pub Lover · #**1186**

Two seconds on google says that PAL games look like crap on NTSC PS2 machines even if you manage to get it to work.

executioneer · #**1187**

i'm pretty sure it does

OxBlood · #**1188**

Should apply, yes, even though I never imported any british PS2 Games. But...why would you need to import something from the UK? It seems like you´re in the US, don´t you have all you need there?

Emu · #**1189**

There are a few games that were released only in the PAL regions.

I'm pretty sure there are some decent PS2 emulators out there that can run the disc straight out of your drive, and your games won't look like shit. It's a lot cheaper and easier than modding your system, too.

executioneer · #**1190**

if you have an insanely good computer, yeah

the one i was looking at earlier still only emulates like 1/2 of the games it's been tested with, too

King Hadas · #**1191**

The game I was thinking of when I asked was Sirens 2. I considered buying a PAL ps2 (not something I'd actually do in order to play a single game but it's an idea I had) but you know, those PAL Playstations aren't labeled as such. I assumed all UK ps2's had PAL stamped on their tops in gigantic red letters and also that they came in less threatening colors like blue and green but that's not how it is. I guess you could order one off Amazon.uk, it'd probably be a PAL version, maybe. What I'm curious about now is if PAL systems have to be modified in order to play American games.

executioneer · #**1192**

i'm not finding anything on google about sirens 2 and it frightens me

edit: that's because it's not sirens it's just siren lol, and in english it's "forbidden siren"

at least i hope that's what you meant

King Hadas · #**1193**

yep, that's it. It's weird you can't get any search results back if you pluralize it.

executioneer · #**1194**

supposedly there is some way to get out-of-region PAL discs to run on ps2 with something called swapmagic but also there seems to be difficulty getting it to work w/ games that are on dual layer / dvd9 discs (i.e. siren 2 ;_; )
