Forum Overview :: I Can't Afford a XBL Gold Membership :: So it does! I didn't even notice, because I played it on my old FD Trinitron.

[quote name="Jerry Whorebach"]Amazingly, the goofy borders can NOT be turned off. So I guess if you have the option, and you don't want to see <a href="http://videogametalk.com/images/uploads/screenshots/153_fullsize.jpg">Boy George staring daggers at Rob Zombie</a> across your flat screen, you'd be better served by the PSN release. (The Dual Shock has a much better directional pad, anyway.) On the other hand, the PSN version is a straight emulation instead of a port, and apparently still suffers from loading delays. [quote name="<a href="http://speedrunslive.com/gamelist/game.php?game=sotn">SpeedRunsLive</a>"]The PSX/PSN and XBLA versions are extremely similar in gameplay but differ heavily in loading times. Due to the loading and lag differences, a head start is warranted for PSX/PSN players in some categories. If all players in a race are using the same version, head starts can be ignored. To see a list of short descriptions, rules, and timing for all of the racing categories, go to the SotN racing categories/rulesets page.[/quote] According to the linked Google Doc, the head start amounts to no more than sixty seconds on a forty-minute run - hardly the sort of thing that's likely to ruin your experience. It's a great game, people should play it any way they can.[/quote]
