I rarely import. Thusly I haven't got the likes of Animal Crossing and I wait patiently for the release of GBA software.

In fact I have ordered from America the total of once for the legendary
Pokemon Yellow which graduated into my most favorite Nintendo game.

But with the DS not due till March (which happens to be when I plan to recieve a nice new shiny X-box) I'm extremley tempted to give old Lik Sang or DVD Box office a whirl.

Being a handheld device I don't see the problem. The only negative issue with importing a GBA is that imported GBA's cannot connect to the Gamecube, something the DS doesn't do anyway.

So anyone else thinking of doing it??? Any ideas on what launch software you're after???

Here's to the future

Dringo.

I wouldn't import anything. If it doesn't come out in the Uk it cant be very good then...

Obviously the Sony PSP will destroy all competition just like the PSone helped make Sega go bust, but goodluck to Nintendo, 'cos they will need it...

Is brilliant, but with Half Life 2, Halo 2 and Doom 3 all due this year...

I know what my console of choice would be if i was just an FPS fan.

I think Conker will be my main title for the X-box...

I'll naturally get the much needed First Person Shooters and Jet Set Radio Future...

Just don't expect a Gamecube style support from Dringo.

I got my Xbox quite a while before Live and was extremely happy with it. Live is the icing on the cake. But I can't wait for the day I play Dringo on Halo 2 on Live...

I think I'll probably just wait for the DS. At least that way it builds up a back catalogue before I buy it, because I hate a shortage of decent games.
