Also, the 360 slim rumors were true. It's black. It's got a larger vent. It's got built-in Wi-FI. It's Kinect (Project Natal)-compatible. It's got a 250GB HDD.

hmm thanks for the info. I got 400 points sitting on there doing nothing. Heard it wasn't the best in the world but I might get TMNT turtles in time. I got the classic arcade all ready.

I really wish Xbox live would put more classic arcade games on there like they used to. Now it seems like its always some sort of lame puzzle/shooter/card game. Id love to see Double Dragon 2, X-men, Captain America and the Avengers, Simpsons, pretty much any side scrolling beat'em up game from the 80's 90's that was in the arcade.

You'd probably be best off either getting a Wii or modifying a DS or older PSP for emulation.

If modifying them means opening them up and trying to solder tiny wires or trying to read and understand a huge FAQ of Jargon I'm not interested. Most of that homebrew emulation involves something along those lines and most of the time its buggy and don't work right anyways. I had a little luck with the Dreamcast and emulators but that was about it.

Wii and PSP can be modified through software alone.

NDS isn't "modified" but you can buy a game cart that lets you use MicroSD/TransFlash memory cards to play Homebrew, Emulators, and Games through it.

I had to have lost at least a hundred bucks playing that game in the arcades as a kid. Smiley: glare

PSP hacking isn't straight foward though. I have a pandora battery and had my PSP-2000 hacked for a long time but ended up changing back to official firmware because of the hassle involved.

totally worth it. I bought these 2 for my ps3 when they were on sale a few months ago.
I have the tmnt game for the Super NES, but sadly it stopped working a few years back. The new HD version brought back so many awesome memories of the game...oh and it looks much better :p
Mv.C is always fun too.

Really? With a Pandora Battery and a PSP 1000 or early 2000 model, PSP modding is the easiest.

I bought those over xmas when I got a xbl points card. Both are fun, although I haven't really played Shadow Complex much since I bought it =/.

Shadow Complex is probably what Mega Man X8 should've been. 2.5D with the ability to aim your arm cannon wherever.
