I will tell you this Pixies are Cooler than princesses because they're all magical n shit, but Miyu is a Vampire Princess and Vampires happen to be the shit. It's a tough call although Kakihara is one sick bastard so I say I win.

Definately check out the 4 OAVs - they are so much better than the TV series imo.

Bah, none for me then. Too bad really, i played the one on the Dreamcast to death - even had the broadband thing.
Now if i could just get another card battling game for the 360 that would be popular enough to have more than me, Canis, and a boatload of Japanese gamers playing (a la Phantom Dust).

Yeah, its on my netflix list, near the bottom for the same reason. I always watch the OVA before the TV series in a show that has both. Since the OVA usually comes out first.

Xbox 360 with HD-DVD to be priced below PS3
Rob Fahey 13:18 16/05/2006
New information raises prospect of high-definition video Xbox 360 bundles
Retail sources in the UK have told GamesIndustry.biz that Microsoft has intimated to them that the HD-DVD add-on for the Xbox 360 will be priced such that console and peripheral combined are cheaper than Sony's PS3.
At E3 last week, Microsoft once again discussed its plans to launch a HD-DVD component for the Xbox 360 later this year, but did not reveal any further information regarding the pricing of the unit.
Currently, the Xbox 360 retails at GBP 279 in the UK, with the Core System version selling for GBP 209, while the 60GB model of the PlayStation 3 is expected to cost between GBP 399 and GBP 419 when it arrives in late November.
Microsoft's alleged comments to UK retailers seem to suggest that the HD-DVD peripheral, which allows playback of high definition movies using Toshiba's next-generation DVD standard, will be priced below GBP 130, making an Xbox 360 and HD-DVD player bundle into a potentially attractive option at Christmas.
Sony's PlayStation 3 features a built-in Blu-Ray drive, which also offers playback of high definition movies, but in this case using Sony's competing next-generation DVD standard - which many industry commentators are tipping as the likely winner of this standards war, due to strong support from many movie studios and other content creators.
Some analysts, including respected videogames industry analyst Michael Pachter of Wedbush Morgan Securities, have suggested that the success or failure of Blu-Ray could directly lead to the success or failure of the PlayStation 3 - with the system being seen as good value despite its high price point if Blu-Ray is widely adopted, but Sony faced with being lumbered with an expensive and unappealing component for the console's five year lifespan if Blu-Ray is a failure.
