It's hard to upgrade without a computer. Speaking of the NetShark, I wonder if SEGA will have an ISP for the Dreamcast or will you have to use an existing ISP?

I think it is stupid for the designers to have to accomodate people with and without the expansion. While its good for the people who don't have one (like me since I can't find one anywhere, damn Nintendo), it decreases what can be done with the expansion. I don't understand the big deal. Its only $30. I'd buy it in a second if I could find it. If you are willing to pay $130 for a system and $60 for a game, what's the problem? I know some of you may disagree with me, but I think Nintendo should require the expansion to play the new games. This would improve the quality of all the games coming out. The best way to get everyone to get the expansion is to pack it together with a great game that is designed solely for it and sell both together for about $80. If they can make a really great game I'm sure it would sell together with the expansion for $80. Just look at what everyone paid for Zelda when it came out (and imagine if it were designed to require the expansion). None of this will happen since it is getting late in the development of the N64 to do it, but it would have been nice if they would have planned a game this way. Turok 2 for example could have been really great if it was programmed so the expansion was required. - -----Original Message----- From: TreyTable@aol.com To: n64@lists.xmission.com Date: Thursday, February 25, 1999 8:22 AM Subject: Re: [N64] the expansion pak >In a message dated 2/24/99 6:12:10 PM Eastern Standard Time, Davidxvx@aol.com >writes: > >> No. Because then they are forcing you to buy the Expansion Pak if you want >> the game.

The company I got it through had some special offer on so installation was free. All I had to pay was 100 bucks for the cable and 45 for each additional month (for unlimited access). Don't forget that this is CANADIAN money. It would be something like 29.25 a month.
