Xenosaga 2: Jenseits von Gut und Böse

If you're wondering, the subtitle is just the German name for the book "Beyond Good and Evil" (not related to the game "Beyond Good and Evil"). So, I was talking with Karo about me finishing off my PS3 digital purchase list, and Xenogears got brought up since it was one of the games I bought on that list a long while back, and we got to talking about the entire Xeno series and how absolutely weird it is from a development perspective. And for those that don't know, yes, Xenogears, Xenosaga and Xenoblade are all spiritually linked thanks to the man at the helm of them all: Tetsuya Takahashi. He is credited as either a director or author of all the games in the "series".

Anyway, it got me to searching on eBay for the two episodes of Xenosaga I do not have (I already have episode 1). While Episode three is pretty firmly outside of my price range right now ($200 MINIMUM!), I managed to snag a copy of 2 for only 50 bucks, which is a steal for a cult classic vintage game like Xenosaga. It even has a game manual and everything. ...sure, it was an impulse buy, but it's been on my list for a while, now.
