Sore wa... himitsu desu

As much as I want to play Tales of Symphonia, no. I'm NOT bidding over 40€ (shipping included) over eBay for a goddamn Gamecube game. Ninety-something US dollars or more for an old videogame is RIDICULOUS.

One note: Project Rub is the most annoying DS game I have ever played. Those minigames are hella hard. I have no idea how my brother finished that crap.

Either way, something I noticed right now. Remember the first chapter of XXXHOLiC?

By giving out your birthday, you have given over the control of your whole life.

...Remember that the guardian's birthdates in Cardcaptor Sakura are kept a secret? It makes a lot of sense. Imagine if someone could control a magician's guardian. Clow (and later on Eriol) is not one to leave an opening like that for a rival. Controlling a guardian for them to pull something on their master would be very low. So even if it were CLAMP being too lazy to come up with their birthdays, or they had seen it in advance, it doesn't clash at all with HOLiC's magic system.

HOLY CRAP THATS EXPENSIVE DDDD: They don't sell it where you are anymore? D:

To me, Trauma Center is still the hardest game on the DS. I wasn't meant to be a doctor... :/

There's not even a Gamecube section in stores anymore. The console is pretty much dead. I guess I could check second-hand shops and see if I'm lucky, though.

Eek, it's just that I'm not touching any Trauma Center game ever since I'm easily squicked by medical stuff.

Can you play the regular game in the US or is there a compatibility issue? I don't play many video games but I know a few people that do and I could keep an eye out for it in the stores. Unless shipping would be too expensive?

Compability issue, yup: we use PAL in Europe and you guys use NTSC. Kind of like DVDs. If this was a NDS game there'd be no problem, but desktop consoles are a pain. But thanks anyway ^_^

Man that sucks. I knew some had compatibility issues, but I didn't know which ones. Sorry :(
