The sort of tedium that runs through my brain.

...buy an Xbox?
Or import the Gamecube Super Robot Wars?

Buy a new console, opening up new reviewing chances, Xbox live, and giving me access to tons of reasonably cheap games that I've been wanting to play for years?

Or pick up SRW GC and an import-runner CD, to let me at the latest installment of a game series I cannot technically -understand- but fanboy over wildly nonetheless?

Giant robots, or something as heavy as a giant robot?

*fret vaguely*

EDIT

A leaked document has recently surfaced on sqrlgames, an inter-PC communication from Sqrl to Boyfriend-of-Sqrl, regarding Xbox purchases.
Take a look if you have the system, let me know if any older cheaper games should make the cut there.

True, but your definition of worth playing is... not so close to mine, I'd say. Going by memory I remember being enthused about a number of games you found pretty dull, likewise you-to-me. (Shogun, for example.)

Not that I don't STILL thank you for pointing out Persona to me.

Shogun, I played nonstop for two months.

This is because I was working at Electronic Arts as a tester, not because the game was spectacularly brilliant. It was an excellent concept, and even the technical implementation was pretty darn good, but there were some distinctly craptastic moments of Bad Game Balance which I and others repeatedly reported to the dev team, who repeatedly did nothing about them.

Mind you, I still kinda like the fact that you can die of old age and lose the game if you have no heirs.
