its the zones of sort for electronics. europe goes by the PAL standard and americas go by the NTSC standard. in other words DVDs, games, etc from one region wont play in another. (helps cut down on illegal copies i suppose)

I'm pretty sure you could mod it somehow to make it play it. Not completely sure though.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=20386 Found this, too bad I don't got 200 bucks

EDIT: LOC is NOT online only I believe, it has online, but also SP

1. That ebay auction is in the US
2. It's NOT PAL

Everay · 2004-02-18, 03:31 PM

well, im not sure, ive heard both, but LoC might have both online, and offline, but the offline game will be identical to the original game. but, im not sure. also,,,120 eruo, thats like 180 american....fucksocks.

Fragmatic · 2004-02-18, 03:38 PM

1. THAT IS NOT FUCKING EUROS!
2. It's sold out there, I can get it for around �130 case (Yes, �, that stands for Pounds, not as in weight, as in Pounds Sterling, currency, notice how it differs from a ?, which is the euro sign)
3. If I can get a job temping for a week, I can get the money in a week, then I just have to find a place to pre order (it's out in a month)
4. I have to renew my XBL sub, and get a new headset
5. A table to place the controller on as well.
6. and 120? is = $151.976 USD, and �120 = �226.151 USD, because the pound is stronger than your puny American currency!

edit -

The ? = the image below, just the forum software won't display it!
Stupid capitalist American forum software

(Yes, that was a joke, I live in a capitalist nation too)

Everay · 2004-02-18, 03:42 PM

sorry, frag, its just it all looks the same to my stupid unintelligent american eyes, oh powerful one

Fragmatic · 2004-02-18, 03:43 PM

In the rant, I was referring to everays post dhark, but you posted that after I mentioned me purchasing it.

I see you're wearing your "no forum sense" hat today then?

I know

Still a shitload for a game though.

But... I have to pay -
�130 for the game (inc pre order)
�25 for new Xbox Live headset (no, can't get the cheapy madcatz ones here)
�50 or so for a table and a �5 for a trip to Ikea to get it
�however much it is to renew xbox live for a year (I think about �50)

So �260 to play a game, that's 2/3 weeks wages, that's also $490.302 USD

Sorry, I'm grumpy

Everay · 2004-02-18, 04:42 PM

so, right now thats at most 4 players, least 3, since me and OMA already have the money down and Veteran already has it, and Frag has to get the money together still, so hes the fourth, and Frag counts as the Brit guy (all clans or outfits have to have at least 1 brit guy), so, anyone else?
