They are selling both games for $20, so the end cost to you is $0.00! I picked up on this deal, and am enjoying HH quite a bit - it is a cool game and certainly lives up to the "Hybrid" name. Best Buy also had a few strategy guides there marked down to $0.01, including Pod Racer and Metal Gear: VR Missions. I don't even own the VR Missions, but I couldn't pass up a guide for a penny! I also found Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus there for $14.99 and am having a blast with that one as well. Does anyone know if Oddworld Inhabitants (the developers) are an independant developer or are they loyal to Sony? I know there is a PS2 game in the works already, but it would be great if they released an Oddworld game for the Dolphin or DC.

PS2 - highest selling console and most games sold 2. Dolphin - 2nd in both 3. Dreamcast - 3rd best selling console, 3rd in games 4. X-Box - 4th in console sales 4th in games Of all these the only I wouldn't get is the X-Box. I don't like Micosoft's game history (their games suck), the controller is crappy, and it looks so gay. Who wants a giant mirror X sitting by their TV. PS2 is sooo cool looking, and with a sweet controller, and it plays DVD's? That's sweet action. Now if they would just fix that nasty RAM problem. Dolphin is a Nintendo product, so there is no doubt it will rock. They've seen the competition and know what they're up against. My only concern is they have said nothing about internet play.....they keep saying all they wanna do is make great games, when the question comes up.....don't like it. The Dreamcast is great, everyone knows that. It's nice to see SEGA get some sucess for once. Internet play...yayaya good. Crappy conroller.....will have dated gaphics, not the best games. So as of now for me I have problems with all the consoles. But PS2 is still #1 for me. hOoce'D oN FoNikS wORkeD fOR mEe Cheers, Jimmy (A.K.A.

You know....that could be a deadly combination....if done the right way. So does that mean that would still have both systems come out, but play the same games (I assume this is the case) or only one joint system? I kind of like the idea cause that would mean I would only need to buy one of the systems and yet I could get all the games.
