I have a starter set and 2 boosters ordered just to see whats up.

I grabbed them from Essential comics in PA, they post at www.pswcs.com a lot, so I figured I'd give them some business.

I know some guys have pulled the Fett, Wampa, a Vader, Probe droid, speeders, etc. from the cases they got in so far-curious to see what I get as far as the extra rares go.  we'll find out this week.

I have a Sept. 25th meeting planned bunch of the guys coming over that day.  In the gameroom I'll have Battlefront on the widescreen and the minis game probably going on in the background.

Should be a fun day!

Well, I've got a PS2 and an X-Box, and my PC is probably too slow to run this game properly. Since a new PC isn't exactly on the horizon right now, and a bunch of my buddies are buying this for PS2, I think I'll just go that route.

Let me know if any of you are going the PS2 route.

Have my PS2 version pre-ordered.  Also posted some cheap options if you haven't hooked up online.

TRU had some deals on the knock-off adapter ($29.99) and headset($15 after half off clearance deals)

I played Asheron's Call back when and I too got tired of walking around forever trying to find stuff and it's the reason I didn't get into Galaxies(or any other online game) in the first place.
If you were to break down all the time spent on online games you'll probably find:

80% of the time your just wandering around trying to find stuff.
10% of the time your chatting with other palyers etc.
5% of the time your playing around w/inventory, buying stuff, "upping" ypur supplies, etc.
5% of the time your actually battling, conquering, actually "playing" the game

it's rediculous how much wasted time you spend on these games doing absolutely NOTHING at all.

That's why the online games I have for the PS2 are fun becasue you actually spend a good amount of time actually "playing" the game.  They are quicker, and take no time being able to jump into the middle of everything, instead of getting stuck int he trap of having to play forever before you can actually enjoy it.

The ONLY things I don't like about online games like SOCOM is that it's strictly a "reaction" based game.  You spend a min. finding the enemy then you both typically see ea. other at the same time, so it's simply a matter of who can hit the fire button first.   (yeah it's very realistic, but play value is diminished I think)

You should be able to absorb a few hits and at least be able to move a bit so you could spend a min. "battleing" ea. other, put a little strategy into a firefight instead of just BAM you're dead.

Welcome!

"You have just taken your first step..."

Which game buying?  Battlefront for PS2
Name plan to go by?  Bobafett14
Side to play for?  either, prob empire not real important
Clan name?  I would prob suggest having something with jedidefender in it.
Good for advertising, letting people know who you are with online, also can be bad letting people know who you are online ;^)

Something simple like:
Jedidefenders1(for alliance)  TAG (JD1)
Jedidefenders2(for empire)   TAG (JD2)


I TOTALLY agree with Diddly Squat!
If you go with something other than along the lines of jedidefender you sort of lose your identity don't you? (hey why not let people know who you are)

As far as leaders, I'm brand spankin new to the whole online gaming thing(just got my PS2 online stuff this week, been palying SOCOM mostly to get preparred for Battlefront.) so this time I'll be a follower and not a leader ;^)

so Keep me in the loop, any help/tutorials is greatly appreciated here.

As far as playtime I'll be able to play mostly Fri-Sun. for sure, Mon and Thurs eve. possibly. (depends on my travel schedule for work)  once game is up and running I'm guessing people should be posting thier "playtimes" as well.

Just got it this past weekend, and I have to say it's the best mini promo to date.

This line looks very promising.  The paint job on this thing is superb.  Jesse and I were checking it out Thurs.  Even the silver "eyes" have a silver paint, black in the center and for as tiny is this piece is...WOW.

The cape has a crisscross burplap looking paint job.  It's relly good stuff.

Hehe, Jesse was just over tonight, funny there was one lone survivor, he hit the recessed lights where I sprayed, and BAM hit the ground.

You see, I had called in some jedidefender backup just in case ;^)
