Cross-Platform Games

[The Fat Bioware Nerd]

Have you ever purchased all versions of a cross-platform game before? I have...well sort of I never bought the handheld versions but I did buy all three console versions of the original Lego Star Wars but not all at once.

I didn't buy them all on purpose though at first I had the Playstation 2 version but after a few months there was something wrong with it. I couldn't play it anymore there was definitely something wrong with the disc because I could still play my other PS2 games so I sold it to Gamestop.

Later on I bought the Xbox version and I didn't have any problems with it but not long after I bought a Xbox 360 my nephew was constantly borrowing my original Xbox. I didn't want to loan it to him but my parents forced me into letting him borrow it.

Eventually I got tired of loaning my Xbox to my nephew so I gave it to him along with my Xbox version of Lego Star Wars because I couldn't play it on my 360. I thought about buying Lego Star Wars II for the 360 but I eventually came to the conclusion that $59.99 was too much to pay for a short children's game that you could beat in about two hours if you try hard enough.

I also wanted to import saved data from the original so I could make Episode V Luke fight Episode II Anakin. Then I remembered that I was planning on buying a Nintendo Wii in November and that the Wii is backwards compatible with all Gamecube software. So I went to Wal-Mart and bought the Cube versions of Lego Star Wars 1 & 2.
