"The Import Gamers Thread"

I figured seeing as there seems to be a fair few people into importing like myself around here that we should have our own thread to talk about the latest American and Japanese releases and also to have a bit of a laugh at the European gamers and feel superior with our access to better games :-D

So lets get talking about the latest games coming out overseas

Not in most cases but the GameCube memory card thing was a pain so I thought it would be best to ask about the PS2 as well.

Cheers anyway though.

Periphials aren't region specific.

Bit worried that one memory card might not be enough, any ideas if a UK card would work with a US PS2?

I`ve hardly got any outside social life it`s all on my computer.
This is basically me being social its all i do all day or most of the day anyway.
I guess ill have to go out to places more get some friends and get an outside social life rather than talking to people in america etc

Haha. I reckon they ought to put a warning on the box citing "Social Life? Forget it, it's now gone!" ;-D

So much for starting Fatal Frame 2 yesterday. Played Disgaea again yesterday as a quick 30 minute job until My Wife and Kids came on and then was going to start on FF2.

Haha. It doesn't work some of the time though. But in all fairness, my game purchasing has subsided in recent months - and my DVD one has been on the increase. Certainly the lesser of the two evils. ;-D

Haha. It doesn't work some of the time though. But in all fairness, my game purchasing has subsided in recent months - and my DVD one has been on the increase. Certainly the lesser of the two evils. ;-D
