Sonic gems help needed...

[demonmike04]

Ok, im definitly going to buy the Gamecube version because its convinient and im a fan of sonic.

But, one of my favourite games of all time is Streets of rage (I mentioned this in an earlier post)

So, later on in the year, im considering buying a version with Streets of Rage on it. But what should i go for, Import (I have the disk to play imports) or PS2?

The ps2 in my house is in my bro's room, so that means i'd have to ask to go on it, and share the game (Great...), but that way, i get a cheap version with the streets of rage trilogy.

But, I could go for import. This way, i can play it on my gamecube, but there is a set back, the price. On Lik-sang (the only place to buy a japanese version of gems) it is currently at 35 pounds. 15 pound more than the version i got. But this way, I can play it in my room, Streets of rage, and the japanese sound track to sonic CD which many will admit is fantastic.

And yes, i know its pretty silly to buy another version, but 20 pound or a lil bit more for 3 mega drive classics for a most prob last chance is great for me.

Which one do you think I should go for?
(Oh yeah, the import one also has bonanza bro's on it, what ever that is :D )

I too have ordered the UK GC version, sans Streets of Rage. It's a let down for sure, but I really don't think it's worth £35 for the Jap version. In truth if I had to make your choice I think I'd go for the PS2 version, although I've heard it has no 60hz mode. For me though, I'm quite content to wait patiently for the Revolution, because I've no doubt that these type of retro Sega games will turn up on it. Sega will surely plop it's Streets of Rage series onto the Revo's download service.

I'm sure if you had a look on eBay you'd probably pick up a Megadrive with the SoR games for about £35-40. I had no idea Lik-Sang was charging so much. It's a ripoff at that price imo.
