I know how the world is all happy for online play, sure there was that with the emulators, but it sucks and it's laggy. I'm just saying, even I've played the arcade versions of this game (not my stick, Playdium had them imported, like their friking #reload machine). I disown the rom versions I have because I hate playing them on my PC since decemeber. When i dl'd the ps2 version of 2k2 (the full dvd rip, all 2.4 gigs of it). But I can't help to think that the DC version > PS2(the PS2 exclusive characters are ripped from SVCC, complete with all their draw backs, geese infinity is still there) and Arcade version. Sure theres some plus sides to the PS2 version of 2k3 (Duo-Lon infinity is harder timed, they added the old school 3v3 no tag team). It still doesn't even seem right. Hell, the only thing that needs my money is PC and gamecube games. PS2 is PS2, anything sells on that crappy box anyways. I even deleted all my NG roms because Emulation doesn't even have a big interest in me anymore as it is.
