i would never do pay to play on any game series, but i agree with sakurato, why not all of them? then again i imagine jaydee is younger than we are, and thus was not afforded the opportunity to experience SNES and NES glory. i as well have played all of the games from start to finish, except XI and XIII though i won't really spend the money on a ps3 just for XIII alone. i may eventually play that game though, but never will play XI as long as it remains pay to play.
