That's not the point. It's Macross and we'll buy it anyway. Buying a "good game" and stealing a mediocre or bad one doesn't change a thing. It's like food...ever paid for a bad lunch?...you can complain, but you don't swipe it because it's "not worth it". Of course, people have different views on this... End of my rant...now back to the thread.

To everyone that said this game might suck and I said it would not...I told ya so! Sega and AM2 pulls off what no one else has...made a GOOD Macross game. It isn't a masterpiece but for a Macross game it's pretty damn amazing...better than lots of the dribble out there...and makes Battlecry really look poor in comparison. Remember at that convention when they (HG and co) said that don't worry about VFX2...our game will be better than VFX2...hope they don't have to look at this. That said, I sure hope that Bandai will be able to release this here as a Macross game, even if they have to go through HG. I'll buy it again.

I've heard that the unrated CA Full Throttle is just a few secs longer of Drew Barrymore getting beat up...dissapointing.

Impressive. Ya got skills!

Isn't this in the other thread? ....Threads.

The official site has opened up the final coming soon block, "System". Linky My game should arrive today or so. Most places you can get it imported for $59-69. The slide card/boot disc setup averages $29. So there you go.

Unlike you guys, I have my slidecard and am just waiting for my game.

Still, you hear of $100 toys and models...paying $149 for a pair of newly manufactured book ends? I could see if they were antique or something but...that's just nuts. And I suppose they will sell well.

Yes, Graham is right...don't get any backed up or boots of this. All of my games are 100 % original and I don't believe in pirated software. Support the game industry. On another note, someone on Gamefaqs just posted a short review of the game...seems like it has 12 stages in the TV version and 8 stages in the movie version. Macross on Gamefaqs Toys N' Joys just charged my pre order so I expect my game soon.

The swap discs I was told will not work with import PSX games. So even if you have the slide card and swap magic CD/DVD discs you can only play import and back up PS2 games and not PSone games.

I hope mine comes soon.

F-14 Tomcat baby.

That would be really cool. It's a possibility that I think may happen.

4 more days!! I can't wait. Thanks to Sega and AM2 the curse of bad Macross games shall be broken. I knew they would do it. B)

I don't think it is a multiplayer online game. Everything I see shows single player only.

They sell the slide card, but don't mention it on that chart...just the mod chips. And Treasure Island Sports is still cheaper.

Not sure if I actually want to pick it up...maybe a rental first.

I think it would come out to roughly the same as if you imported it from a retailer. Too bad Kevin doesn't also import PS2 games...

Amazon Japan has a couple user reviews as well as their own comments as translated by babelfish: Amazon.co.jp The popularity animation ' super spatial-temporal fortress ????

At the time of CG conversion, to action, the gimmick and effect, you adhere to the Valkyrie deformation action and behavior which is the variable fighter plane thoroughly.

Hey, someone else understands it!

The swap magic discs let you play imports. The slide card OR flip top cover, is required to get the disc out without the PS2 resetting...it is a mechanical way...the slide card basically pulling the tray open, and the flip top lid allows you to remove the disc without your PS2 "knowing" you are doing so. Mod chips are another way, and I believe that this has been discussed to death in countless other threads. Most of the people here do not want to open their PS2 up...thus, no mod chips for them, even the "no solder" ones require you to open the PS2...the flip top lid (with the swap discs) requires you to replace the top half of your PS2 (though much smipler than soldering or installing a chip)...the slide card (which works WITH the swap magic discs) is the only way I know of that allows a person to play import PS2 games without much in the way of modding their system (simply removing the disc tray door which you can easily snap back on). Again, many places sell the slide card/swap disc combo...the cheapest I've seen is from Treasure Island Sports. Their site is below: http://www.tisinc99.com/playstation2.html Read the product descriptions and it should make things clear.

The BBS is open on the official site...not that it does most of us any good but, maybe someone here on MW can register?

Since I've received a bunch of IM's regarding the slide card way and the flip cover way, this is where I got the slide card system from: http://www.tisinc99.com/playstation2.html I was originally gooing to get the flip top cover but since I import very few games nowadays (I have 0 PS2 games, Macross will be the first), I went with the slide card. And no, I haven't been able to actually use it since I have no import PS2 games to try it out on. But, I have heard people using them with great results. No need to solder, no need to open your PS2, for those who don't wish to bother with it.

Nope.

Not many people have seen that one...check out the shorter one from a few posts back. The 3 min twenty something meg one...it's the one most of us have seen and made us drool.
