I am slowly getting to the 60 hour mark in Xillia 2 because I just find myself entering battle after battle, using various characters and grinding my little heart out. Such a fun game.

Liking it better than the 1st one there, Kashish? 

Goes w/o saying that I'll be looking forward to your inevitable review of it; does it not

So I am getting very close to a huge milestone in my collection, game #1500. I'm contemplating going big and buying something really awesome/rare so I remember it forever. Sadly game #1000 escapes me, but my 500th game was MUSHA on the Genesis; found it at a now defunct game store for $40 and nearly died of happiness. I can only hope that I get lucky like that again, but I might have to use the Ebay if I'm going to ensure that title 1500 is memorable. My shortlist is:


- Sonic Adventure: Limited Edition
- Mega Man Legends 2
- Grand Theft Auto V
- Metroid Prime Trilogy
- Shenmue II (PAL version)
- Gitaroo Man

That is a great milestone! I use the note section to track what game hits certain numbers. Metroid Prime Trilogy would be a great choice.

@Bikingjaughty, how are you liking san Andreas for the Xbox?

I love GTA, and San Andreas is awesome! I especially like how it perfectly captures the feel of the early 90s even though it was made 13-years after it was supposed to take place. Although I've never technically beat San Andreas, I played through roughly 75% of it on the PS2 many years ago. I honestly don't see an enormous difference in graphics between version, but still it is coll to try it out on another system. I'm pretty sure I'm almost done, and thus far I can say it is my third favorite behind 3 and 4 (I haven't played 5, but it look very promising).

I've only played the GTA games that came out on ps2. I haven't gotten to the newer ones yet but compared to 3 and Vice City, San Andreas was so long lol. Over 100 missions but it really showed the power of what they could do. It was everything 3 and Vice City had along with so much more. On the Xbox version, can you use the music stored on your Xbox hard drive and listen to it while driving in a car in san a dress?

Random question, anyone know of a good place to get replacement Wii game cases?  Basically, white dvd cases of a decent quality that aren't overly expensive.  And I'd rather not have to buy 100 of them.

I suppose you could try asking around at GameStop locations. They might be throwing some out/have unused cases they're willing to part with. Other than that I'm not too sure.

Unless you are good friends or acquaintances with GS employees it really hard to acquire free things (I tried), but not all employees are the same so it doesn't hurt to try first I guess. The next best solution is dumpster diving for them.

It can't be that difficult to get free stuff they were going to throw away anyways... maybe? Dunno, I haven't tried so I guess I can't really say for sure.

Big corporations don't like giving ANYTHING away for free.

[davifus]

This is Gamestop we are talking about. They dont even like people going through their dumpster for their waste. There is probably a corporate policy about giving free case and etc unless its under the table...

[burningdoom]

They're just DVD cases, man. It's not worth dumpster diving for.

Dvd cases and many more

[argyle]

I know many of the guys at my local Gamestops, the bigger issue would be that their crappy cases are the ones I'm wanting to replace in the first place.  Anything they'd be throwing away would most likely be even worse than what I'm replacing. 

[jcalder8]

I would just go to a GS and buy a cheap wii game to get the case. I have found them for .50 to $1.
