@Gameboy415: It`s NTSC. I bought it off Amazon and it has just been sitting on a shelf for the better part of two years. Excellent sci-fi. Been waiting to put together a nice home entertainment system on which to enjoy this fine series.
@nyprimus2: Have you checked the IMDB page for The Second Earth? Lots of information and a pretty active board.
It was an awesome show that got cancelled partly because of costs, they filmed large parts on location in the desert.
Why do i think it was an awesome show? Small group of people, all from different faces of life must work together in an unknown world against/with the natural inhabitants. Lots of other facets too. Pick it up if you have the means to. You won`t be disappointed.

First pick-ups of this month (although bought last month...)!
- MGS4: The Complete Official Guide from Piggyback Books, an amazing strategy/history/and more guide;
- The Fountain, one of the best movies of Darren Aronofsky and the best performance of Hugh Jackman;
- Crimson Gem Saga, a nice JRPG just on the classic style I was looking for;
- GoW: Chain of Olympus for my girlfriend.

Deadpool Vol. 1 trade paperback and Spider-man: Maximum Carnage trade paperback.
I've been in a huge comic trip lately. I'm almost done with Dark Phoenix saga, and I want more to read. SP:MC was a huge impulse buy.

Those are all technically late July pick-ups, but since I was busy away in a business trip, I could not post them before.
First, some good books:
More reading material, local Edge:
Another 2 on the rip-off cartoon set:
Some sport titles for my US 360:
And something for my Euro 360:
Digital stuff from Steam:
And from Xbox Live:
And now, for the best part, another original Xbox for me, this one a Japanese machine:
Box is in a pretty bad shape, as the game CDs as well, no controller (I have plenty) but I got it really cheap (US$ 20 + shipping) and the main unit is perfect (as durable is the original Xbox). Finally I can play those import games I have.

So, I finally got those AMAZING GCN COMPONENT CABLES as you already know, and I have finally hooked them up. Most of you might think it is a pointless venture, especially considering the price of the sacred wire itself, due to the fact that I could just use my Wii. I have once question to ask all of you...
WHAT ABOUT THE GAMEBOY PLAYER?!?!??!
EXACTLY! Now, some of you may say S-Video cables might be enough, but once you go 480p, you just cannot go back.
All colors are reproduced second to none, and everything is SHARP. Combine that with my HDTV's perfect zoom level and sharpness adjustment, and you've got the blockiest, truest, gb/c/a on TV experience I have ever seen!
Combine that with Super Mario Advance 3, and a Horipad, and you've got the best Yoshi's Island experience imaginable! As you can probably tell, I am happy as fuck!
BTW, here is my controller drawer, kind of modest, but you can tell which system of mine gets the most loving...
Seriously though, it's so sharp and blocky and true, I might just play ever single GB/C/A game I own, just one more time...
Thoughts? Questions? Suggestions?

I've been on a onsen trip to Jozankei/Hokkaido a while ago and had one of those in my hotel room. Those are pretty cool and rare. To see one live you will have to go to a onsen, since they still have all these old machines. Thread winner btwGameboy415 said:

Chiaroscuro said:And something for my Euro 360:
Was this something of a stealth release? First I seen/heard of it was the 360 demo but also noticed that it's on PS3 as well. I fancy a racing game at the minute, but Supercar Challenge is coming out in a couple of weeks so not sure which of these to get!
Also, do you (or anyone else) know if the PAL 360 version is region free or works on a NTSC-J console?

Released only in Europe (and it seems to stay this way for a while at least, if ever comes in USA). It is done by Milestone, the same Italian studio resposible for Apex for the original Xbox and the SBK series on 360/PS3.
Region-locked, only works in a PAL 360 (I have 3 different 360 to play all the possible games, I know I am crazy and I curse region-lock mechanism). Of course, the PS3 version is region free. It is published by Codemasters in some Euro countries, while in others (UK, Italy) by BlackBean.
However I must say it is a sub-par game. If you know a SBK game you know this game, only with cars. It represents an Italian championship series, but the track and car selection then is very limited of course. Graphically it is very bland, with a brown-filter look all over the place. The racing is very, very arcade, even at maximum realism settings.

Ultimate pick up. A tri-colored welsh corgi puppy. He's 7 weeks in the pic. He'll be 10 weeks when I pick him up on Saturday.
