Wrong. Xbox version is graphically better than both versions.

Except you could buy both PC versions for less than the price of this one anyway, and PC depending, they'd still look better.

WAhooooo a 2 year old port... lets get excited...

It's like Nintendo fans getting excited over the new Zelda bonus disc.

Gaming has evolved!

Two of the best games of the modern era get ported as one package which betters that of the PC and PS2 versions, the latter by a long way. Its a great deal of two cracking games.

No but he's right...

I wouldn't get excited if the up-coming MGS game on the Gamecube was a mere minor upgrade of MGS2...

I might get it as I never played it before but it is a 2 year old game...

Couldn't Rockstar just put more effort into making a multi-format GTA next or whatever...

So does that mean everyone who has an Xbox has played it? Quit acting like a pubic gorilla.

I don't order from SR any more either, but that's purely based on pricing. If you pre-order at the GAME website these days, even they can be cheaper - which is a miracle!

I never had any problems with SR's service in the many years I did shop with them, though. Second-hand goods? I don't think so! And on the handful of occasions I did have a problem with an order, they were very quick and helpful in getting it sorted. I once had a game replaced by them 4 or 5 times because it wouldn't load (Xenon 2 Megablast for the Amiga CDTV) and eventually got a refund - no problems at all, when many companies would have told me to sod off. (Incidentally, I eventually bought it elsewhere and had the same problem, so gave up on it!)

As for guaranteed release-day delivery, no-one can *guarantee* that unless they use couriers or Special Delivery, because it all depends on the postal service. First-class mail does not guarantee next-day delivery - it never has, and it's even less likely now than it was years ago. In all the years I was a loyal SR member (around 10 years I think), I only ever had TWO games not arrive on release day.

I don't deny other people may have had problems, but SR generally offer customer service that many other companies could learn from.
