This is how MS works u see. They buy up software titles, then when you buy the game (even ps2 or GC) the money goes to MS. Using that money, they then release the next version of the game - which would be only on XBox. Eventually, you will need to own an XBox.

Hmm, WRONG, RARE are still making games for the GBA, they have just gone single CONSOLE format, and the GBA doesn't come into that category.

If you don't like it, buy an XBox. Or steal one. From Bill Gates. Preferably one from his house. Mwa haa haaaaaaa.

Yeah, there's a Banjo game *wink, wink* it's one of those crazy Japanese games *nudge nudge* and comes with the proper accessory you can only use on that game costing about 80 quid.

I'm gonna Banjo all night
