' Wrote:So, have I gone mad?Currently I'm playing Soul Silver via an emulator on my PC, which is the same generation opposite of gold. And the emulator was free... You can actually download GBA, DS and other emulators, along with full libraries of their games. Not by torrents either. Dunno why, but I've never trusted them (or had the internet connection to use them properly:dry:). That would be a way to combine your love of Pokemon with the PC I guess.
And BlackWidow, they'll give you a lot less for a 360 Arcade than a Limited Edition Halo Reach 360, which by all accounts, must be quite new anyway.

I feel for you. I remember the days before super-duper speed broadband. Which town in Wales? I heard the area around Aberswyrth (Or however you spell it.) is getting fibre optic.
Also. You should have got an emulator and roms. Would've have saved you money.

I've been playing the original Pokemon Blue, and I'm having a great time with it. I actually only got the game recently from a freind who just happened to have two cartridges, and I figured I could dig out my old GameBoy Advance and give it a shot. It's my first introduction to the Pokemon series, and I can definitely see how it can be such an appealing game to you.
Of course, I'll be keeping my 360, thank you very much.

' Wrote:How much??? Looks like you got a great deal..Most games stores only offer £50-£60 trade in for a 360Aye it was a Halo Reach Limited Edition 360 250Gb console, out on September way. Gave in a couple of games too.
Older 'chunky' consoles get pennies with the slim ones out now.

I have used emulators before and have sworn off them because I'd rather get stuff people pay millions to develop and take years to create. I used to emulate to get a taste of the game, and use P2P to test games on my old rig, now I get them with confidence.
Emulation is a sketchy topic, I won't get into much here.

Typically only Pokemon and Tetris with some Mario complemented my GBA libraries.

The Heart Gold is the newest jump into the 'new' gameboys, still a good experience over mouse and keyboard on PC. I can lay in bed rather than on an uncomfortable chair.

I would think you where crazy, if it weren't for the fact that when I visit my parents' house, I always have fun playing my sisters DS.
But still, you should kept the 360 for the "free games" ahem.

Looks like there is another contender for handheld consoles now.
The NPG was announced at the Sony conference in Tokyo some minutes ago.
-4x resolution of PSP
-Touch screen on the back so your fingers wont get in the way.
-Uncharted on PSP
Weird name. But cool.
