Sorry to hear that. The only other thing I can think of, is if you brought your laptop with you. They sell converters (got mine at an apple store) that you can hook your Xbox up to your computer, so you could at least play it that way- but mine at the time cost $70

Having to play thru SB 5 times to unlock all the gizmos and upgrades for all the characters. Such a horrible grind!



I couldn't even make it through. I'll go back to it one day. It's faster to just play levels 1-2 and 1-3 over and over again, though. Drops the grind to about an hour per character. One extremely boring hour.

It grinds my gears that I can't play FF X HD, Kingdom Hearts 2.5 or Tales of Symphonia Chronicles until next year.

Edit: Tales devs state they have no plans to support XBoner but already have a PS4 game in the works.

Yes I find that curiously disheartening too. I received quite a few notices on my facebook feed where girls (in their 20's and 30's) were "liking" pages mourning Paul's death- and posting eulogies. But I've received NOTHING from anyone, male or female, even commenting about this, today. You can't blame society, but you can change it.

You guys have some ignorant friends on Facebook. ;p

I've posted the required Morgan Freeman picture, but I think almost 100% of my friends who actually post on fb have said something about Nelson Mandela. Possibly more than Paul Walker, actually.

Of course a lot of my friends are unwashed, Monsanto hating, vaccine protesting hippies.

Some people are trying to say that Paul Walker faked his death, and he's still alive. I consider that dishonoring the dead. May he R.I.P.

You have a point. My "actress" friend (read as 1 imdb credit for a movie that no one has seen) and her "actor" husband (read as a guy who is almost 40 but keeps doing movies for free because it's 'great exposure' and has been in one episode of a tv show) have not mentioned Nelson Mandela at all. But I'm pretty sure his comment about Paul Walker was something along the lines of "yay, one less person competing for my roles. #imaloser #cantsupportmykids #faceforradio."
