kizu Posted December 5, 2001 Author Share Posted December 5, 2001 I can't remember what the cost of a GC deluxe is in japan, but a normal GC cost 25,000 yen, a game cost about 6,800 yen, and a controller is about 2,500 yen. BTW- I was only joking about destroying the old systems. They are all good, except mine, i haev not good games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by kizu [/i] [B]I found out that I am not getting a GC. I am getting something better. I am getting the GC Deluxe. It is only sold in Japan, but right now i have an echange student from Japan staying at my house. Her mom said it would be fine if she buys one and ships it to us. But we will have to pay her back. It's gonna be awsome. The only diff from it and a normal GC is that i has a DVD build in, a remote, and the shape of the top changed a little. I am going to put a pic of it on here incase you wanted to see what it looks lik. but it is a black and white pic. Here it is.

Unless you can find a mod chip that'll let it play American games/DVDs. [quote][i]originall posted by BabyGirl[/i] [b]"shiznit" or "shiz" are often seen replacing the word "s h i t" (do excuse that language, it's merely an explanation ;) )[/b][/quote] I still think it sounds like an insect.

kizu Posted December 7, 2001 Author Share Posted December 7, 2001 I didn't know that. I thought that it would read the cd and play what was on it. But why would it only play games and dvds from japan. Shound't it play what is in it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liamc2 Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 Unfortunately he is right, Japanese dvd's use a different type of encoding to american dvd's, my friend told me that when they bought this 'special' dvd player that can read australian, american, japanese and german dvds.

kizu Posted December 10, 2001 Author Share Posted December 10, 2001 Well that sucks. I guess i am glad that I am not getting one after all. i am not sure why, but I don't care. As long as I get Pikmin adn a GC for Christmas I will be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And she said taht it will play American games too. This is so kick arse!!! who wants to come to my plays in 3 weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liamc2 Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Thanks for the offer, but it would be cheaper for me to buy a gc then fly to where you are:bellylaug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] I wouldn't be shocked if the GC Deluxe has that feature. A high quality DVD player like that inside it. So it can read a bunch of different encodings. I found out that my exchange student is giving me bad info. Her mom has a GC Delluxe reserved. So i have to wait a while, and then have to wait for shipping. *Starts looking at his watch* Any month now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 I WOULD get a gc at xmas, but there's one little problem.... I live in the UK, gc not released yet, bah.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 Well as you probably already know (I've been posting it everywhere) I am getting a GBA and Mario Kart Super Circuit to go with it for Christmas. I don't really know much about the Game CUBE, except that it sounds pretty cool. It's not released here in Australia yet either. :crying: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizu Posted December 11, 2001 Author Share Posted December 11, 2001 That is my Christmas present. My exchange student's mom is going to buy it and give it to us for as a Gift. I suddenly like that ***. more now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristoff119 Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 I am going to get a GC after christmas. So far I know, unfortunately, that I am going to get Golden Sun and a Dreamcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liamc2 Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 I thought the Dreamcast just died out? All the shops that used to sell them have just let themselves run out of stock for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotenksSSJ343 Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 Kizu I hope you get Pikmon it's a great game once you get used to the way of the game:wave: :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizu Posted December 13, 2001 Author Share Posted December 13, 2001 I thought that it loked good to. The thing that caught my eye about it was how funny the Pikmin look. The first time i saw one i :laugh: for a long time. The best part about it was the fact that i get to throw the yellow pikmin by their ears. I am going to have too much fun throwing the pikmin around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
