Yeah but you haven't seen the level of detail in 4 have you? Go youtube the land editor or whatever it's called-

That shows you the region map. All those outlined areas can be altered any way you want and then built on. Since you're such a big simcity fan you should try to eventually play it. I think it's the most complete simcity I've ever played.
Nah doubt I'll be on xbox tonight. You been playing SR recently?
The version of 2000 that I played was full of glitches, like losing save data randomly. It seemed good though but the glitches killed it for me.
The part about 4 that is really awesome is how you can even design the land before you put any towns down. It gives you a huge region map cut into sections and each one can be altered a lot and they all connect. Pretty damn cool.
Well for sure population is a big factor. But the US has a culture of consumerism, it's very much encouraged. Not sure how it goes up north but down here it's expected of us to go shopping all the time.
I'm just making the point that most americans are morons who think they need a hundred varieties of toilet paper. We have more stuff here because people buy more stuff, know what I mean?
Actually they had NES too, I remember I bought StarTropics when the clearance sale was going on.
But yeah the US has a lot more variety than Canada, in major cities. Just think of why though, most people are moronic shopping obsessed weirdos. You really don't need an entire aisle of a store for toilet paper, right?
I'm not sure about everywhere in the US but I know my area has quite a few Gamestops and they're very actively buying and selling used games. Sadly they got rid of all their older stuff like Snes though.
