Everyones been going on about it a lot and I didnt really take any notice, but now I realise - March is an expensive month, gamecube wise that is.

I am very short of money at the minute, it all got spent on Animal crossing and Metroid Prime on import and Im saving for import zelda which comes out this month.

Anyway I reckon I can get one game - with a little help from my dads wallet.
What game shall it be,
Sonic Mega Collection? Resident Evil 0? Super Monkey Ball 2 on Friday?
Or Phantasy Star Online + Modem adaptor = hunters license fee?

If I was rich I'd get em all, but my dads leaning me in the direction of Sonic Mega Collection coz he wants Sonic Spinball.

It also doesnt help when he's trying to get me to buy an XBOX and a GBA SP.

If I can get him to pay then maybe March wont be quite so expensive after all.

DON'T get the Sonic Mgea Collection. Use the money to get a second hand Megadrive and the games. A far better purchase and it'll cost the same.

Yeah. me too, but I do know people who do reap the benefits of trading in, thought it might help if you were worried about the two being too similar. One would hope that once you by Monkey Ball 2 you'll never touch the original again.

hell I have copies of Madden 99, 00, 01, 02 and 03 in the cupboard.

Roll on Madden 2004 ;)

I need a new Pc - the hard drive on my creaky old one stopped running and the processor acts like a 4 year old trying to do quantum physics.

Somehow, this month, I have to do my damdest to fight off temptation so I can get together enough cash to buy a new PC.

Yes, I'm buying it outright instead of going for a rip-off finance scheme.

I have this personal policy about trading games in - I dont do it.

If ive paid my hard earned for a game then im goona keep it - even if it aint the best game in the world.

Although I only really buy games I know are semi-decent or that I'll like.

I have the first one too, but I'm still gagging for the second one.

I should think if you already have the first one you'll know for yourself whether you want the second one. Maybe you could raise extra cash by trading the first one in?

Is Monkey ball 2 gonna be worth getting if Ive got the 1st one,
Plus I want Sonic for the warm, fuzzy retro glow.

Have you noticed how many of the games i mentioned for the Nintendo console aresega games? Who'd have thunk it.

all this talk of Ea and/or Microsoft buying out Sega - bloddy Ninty should get in there and make them a second party developer.

If you've already got Prime then I'd say Super Monkey Ball 2

Ok, I don't like Resi Evil so I won't recommend that. Probably SMB2 or PSO. Luckily, the benefits of working full time have paid off - I can buy ALL the GC games I want plus the SP when it comes out ansd not break into a sweat.

At the moments though, I'm trying to bolster my collection of Saturn games...I came so close to buying PSO yesterday but I thought I'd try it out on my brothere's DC before I purchased it.

Sorry I wasn't of much help. But you have GOT TO get Prime. Or your life isn't worth living.
