A sealed copy of the picture disc edition of FFVII will be fucking expensive.

I paid thirty pounds ($64)for my copy, but I was lucky enough to get it off a guy who didn't really know exactly what it was he was selling.

Secret of Mana, all boxed up and whatnot will quite often have a 60 quid ($128) price tag, that's not unusual at all.

If that FFVII isn't sealed and is the platinum edition though, it's probably only woth about 15 quid ($32), and Gametraders are a bunch of ne'er-do-wells and rogues. However, from what Yahtz says about The Land Down Under, you get fleeced worse than we do when it comes to video games.

Looking forward to Fallout 3, never managed to play the other Fallout's apart from the incredibly tedious Brotherhood of Steel. But a post-apocalyptic Oblivion? Count me in.

And Secret of Mana does indeed cost a lot. My brother bought it, although I don't know why, as he's never really played it. So essentially a waste of money.

It's unthinkable to compare Fallout 1 & 2 to Tactics. Fallout 1 & 2 (especially 2) are top-notch post-apocalyptic RPGs. Tactics is just an extremely boring Commandos clone with random elements and stats thrown in to bugger up the whole strategy thing.

[Man Of Doom]

I've never played that either. I've only played the console Brotherhood of Steel, the hack 'n' slash one, with very minor rpg elements.
It was intensely repetitive, and was more like Gauntlet than anything else really.

If you talk to any Fallout fan, they will happily point out all the ways that BoS is a crock of monkey snot. In fact, some just call it Brotherhood of Shit.

Typically, the elitist fans of the series will say that Fallout and Fallout 2 are the only real Fallout games, with Fallout 2 put on a slightly lower pedestal. They're correct to an extent. Personally, I liked Fallout 2 better than the first one, but I'm not an elitist when it comes to video games; only grammar and usage of the English language.

[Man Of Doom]

Well one day I'll get around to playing the proper Fallout games, but as my PC isn't even my own, I'm just going to wait for Fallout 3 for now.

Yeah we cop it pretty hard down here when it comes to games. They have to alter almost everything that comes down to this hole so that there is, at max one drop of blood, nudity down to the bra, the only swear word being bugger and the only drug references are when Jimmy takes a panadol to help his headache.

I'd love to get the fallout collection, im stuck with the crappy cracked version of Fallout 1 which has no blood and cinematic cut scenes. ITS SO GAY! I equipped my dude with the bloody mess perk to find out that it just shows a replay of your enemy falling over. And I don't really want Fallout 3 to be a post-apocalyptic Oblivion I'd rather it stick with the old Fallout tradition but from what I've seen so far it looks pretty good. (notice that the voice actor of the old guy that wants you to blow up Megaton is the same as Lucien Lachance in Oblivion? Not really a breakthrough revelation but one of those things that make you go "hey!")
