The pressure applied to push XBOX over GC via semi-exclusive deals with retail outlets (such as Electronics Boutique) should be illegal (IMO). The true test will be how XBOX 2 sells, unless, as in the PC market, the better consoles have been all but eliminated by the squeeze of the almighty dollar.

I thought a common thing in life today is express shipping.... the few extra hours of travel means nothing. You need people to buy units... that's the point.

The Battle of Endor is a HUGE dissapointment. I can do a better impression of Admiral Akbar and Lando. I mean after watching Return of the Jedi a gaziilion times and playing SEGA's Star Wars Trilogy arcade game, The Battle of Endor on the Gamecube is just junk. I had expected it to look better than Star Wars Trliogy first of all, I mean isn't a Gamecube more powerful than a Model 3? Secondly, it just sucks. I'm rather sad about the whole thing. I dunno. I just wasn't impressed at all. The Razor Rendezvous was cool though, and the stage after it was pretty good too, except the Rebels are idiots. "Evil will always win ovrer good because good is stupid." Couldn't be more true. I mean you got a crashed Star Destroyer with AT-ATs and AT-PTs (Scout Walkers would have been more authentic) coming out of the wrecked ship, so what do the rebels do? They go out on foot towards all that big Imperial machinery. Those Rebels deserved to die for being just plain stupid. All in all, SEGA still makes the best Star Wars games, if you ask me. Factor 5 comes in second. ===== ** Dave ** super_trey_bros@yahoo.com AIM: Sanrio Velocity " Life is pain, anbody who tells you otherwise is lying or trying to sell you something.
