After painting my door (LIGHT BEIGE!!! W00!!!), I decided to look into buying that really expensive anime I want: Memories by Katsuhiro Otomo. I called around, and could find no place that carried it, so I guess I'll have to buy it off AnimeNation.com for $140. It's an import and a really, really nice DVD, so I guess it's worth it...
Here's the sucky part, though: my PS2, nor any other normal DVD player, can play imported DVDs. They're region-2 while US is region-1, and I don't know why but "they" don't let you play DVDs from other countries. Fuddudd.
So, I went on Modchip.com, where a PS2 DVD modchip is available for $39, although I heard from one source that it's unreliable and that the PS2's capabilities suck in the first place.
So my only option is to look for a multi-regional DVD player. I found a place that sells it (across the bay ugh), but they cost at least $350!!! Eragh. Why don't they just spend a million dollars and bring it to America like they did Mononoke? It IS three different mini-movies, though, so I'm not sure if that's really worth it. But "Magnetic Rose" (part of "Memories" is SO COOL!!!)
Eh, I'll put off this dilemma till later. I'll be redesigning the Swamp just a bit soon.
