Yu-Gi-Oh Online for XBLA? Neato. Once again I'm effy on the concept of booster packs costing money for an online game, but whatever.

[GigaGravemind]

I was just reading about this on Shriek (I'm fairly sure, something about a new game functioning with XBOX Live)

anyway. not sure I like having to buy packs for this game, though. hopefully they will have a way to imput cards the players already own and hopefully in the same number of copies -_-'

beyond this, there exists the age old problem: "what about cards we have recieved that Japan has not?". most likely, cards we rely on may not exist in this game. hopefully microsoft can keep on them to get their updates in asap.

ultimately, regardless of the problems this offers, it sounds like a useful endeavor for those of us with problems downloading YVD on our PCs. I'm excited by this prospect and hope nothing but the best comes from this.

[IRON MAN]

Finally an official announcement.
Can't wait for this to arrive.
As long as its continuously updated with new sets, I'll be happy.

[War Machine]

Must have dragunity.

[+ Miley Syrus +]

This is ok I guess. I don't feel lie dumping MS points into virtual cards when I could buy real ones.

[GigaGravemind]

I feel the same way, but it costs money to produce the program. hopefully we will only have to pay for expansions and will be able to imput cards we already own.

[Pelistorm]

Those poor kids, they don't stand a chance in real tournaments and now they won't online.

[WREX]

This is way awesome. Im stoked.

[Nottu]

Sounds gewd to me. just needs a DT compatablity to make me uber happy

[Mufalmar]

Well, now there's no point in me spending my money on cards for Yugioh Online. i'll just wait for this to do that :P

[cybergifted]

there has to some expansion pack type buy or something to add packs u get the game. that would be insane to have to by all your cards again to use them online.

if ends up that way, it puts in to my light that yugioh is still the rich man's game

[CyberEnd Dragon]

when is the release for this?

[SpellCasta25]

when is the release? and do you have other cards to choose from other than having to buy packs online?>
