I think the cheapest import dealer on the internet is
http://www.buyrite1.com  They say that if you can find a better deal than
what they have their games listed for, they will lower their price on their
game AND give you 10 bucks off your purchase!  Another import dealer is
Video Source, http://www.video-source.com  Hope this helps!

That sounds like a Netscape mail pop-up. That's what happens when you click
a "mailto:" URL, unless you have a mail program, such as Eudora open, and
set to intercept those. <G> Game Nation should set up a form instead
though-- that would allow everyone to send feedback without having to use
their Email.. <G>

Actually, I would say that NINTENDO caters to Adults and Children.  Sony
caters to teenagers, and college students.

Most Adults (maybe over 23?) don't NEED to have sex/blood to make a game
good. (not that I don't like sex/blood...).  Basically, as older gamers
- - we are mor likely to judge a game on its entertainment value.

So most of the "kiddy" games, are actually fun for anyone - but they are
not "cool" enough for the teenagers to like.

I had this problem when I worked at a community center summer program, I
was in charge of the 12 to 16 age group.  This group of kids was too
"cool" to play the kid games but to immature to be given the
responsibility of adults.

SONY seems to have a core audience of 14 - 24 year olds, and Nintendo
tries to have games that appeal to EVERYONE.

Just my observations though, as a 25 year old gamer with more than 17
years of video gaming experience.

So where do you get your money from?  Your PARENTS.  So you really do
not have ANY buying power.

The only people with buying power are the people who earn their own
money.  I have enough buying power to buy a house, a car, clothing,
food, furniture, pets, and I still have a N64 and 14 games.  And I by no
means earn a lot of money, as the Military does not pay that well.  But
my wife and I do well, and we enjoy MANY MANY games, regardless of who
people think they are "aimed" at.

People like to criticize (i can't spell.. I know) but Nintendo AND Sony
are making plenty of money.  They both know that there is only one group
of people with money - the adults.  The difference is how you get the
money from the adults.  Some adults buy for ourselves, others buy for
our children.  Either way - we do buy video games!

What a great time it is for the Video game industry!  I just wish games
would focus less on the way they "look" and more on the way they "play".

Like the good old days....

RCA is OK, and I might get slammed for this - butt SONY makes the best
TV's.  But they are a tad more expensive.

But the key for videogames is the FLAT screen.  The flatter the screen
the better.  I think Panasonic has a really flat screen TV also....

Some people might not know this, but playing video games on most
Projection Screen TV's voids any warranties.  Check your paperworks - a
lot of manufacturers say this in case you "pause" a game, and go on
vacation for a week - it will burn in the screen.. hehe.

And S-Video makes a huge difference as well, but that is REALLY
expensive.  But for picture quality - use the RCA connections (the ones
that come with the N64) - stay away from Coax and RF converters...

So where do you get your money from?  Your PARENTS.  So you really do
not have ANY buying power.

The only people with buying power are the people who earn their own
money.  I have enough buying power to buy a house, a car, clothing,
food, furniture, pets, and I still have a N64 and 14 games.  And I by no
means earn a lot of money, as the Military does not pay that well.  But
my wife and I do well, and we enjoy MANY MANY games, regardless of who
people think they are "aimed" at.

People like to criticize (i can't spell.. I know) but Nintendo AND Sony
are making plenty of money.  They both know that there is only one group
of people with money - the adults.  The difference is how you get the
money from the adults.  Some adults buy for ourselves, others buy for
our children.  Either way - we do buy video games!

What a great time it is for the Video game industry!  I just wish games
would focus less on the way they "look" and more on the way they "play".

Like the good old days....

we have played 4 player on a 13 inch, but 19 is the smallest
realistically.  I have a 27 inch and a 32 inch, both are fine...

As of yet, the biggest in mine is 20"(two-- living room and master
bedroom). So when I get my 25/26", I'll have the biggest in the house! <G>

SLAM! RCA and Phillips/Magnavox are the best. By experience, and an
electrical engineer's advice.

They all have flat screens if you want to get that model..

Exactly. Because the technology used burns into the screen if the image
stays there for ANY length of time-- a standard CRT does this as well, but
not NEARLY as fast.

Definitely-- for the extra $20-50 for a TV of the same size TV with A/V
jacks, it's VERY worth it. <G>

I don't think so...
that is only if you pause it, or keep the image still
whether it is a game or a movie or tv, the screen doesn't know the
difference, so they all do the same thing
watching the listings channel (the one with all the times and shows) does
just as much harm
you don't know what you are talking about
oh, and if it did happen to damage it, and I am wrong, then I could just buy
a new one <g>
