I don't think you can play copied games on it which means Nintendo won't loose out on piles of money like Sony did as you could Chip the Playstation and play copied games on it. And if you Chip the Gamecube there is a switch to change what type of game it is eg. American or Japanese and I Don't think it messes anything up in the Cube like some chips for the PS did!
I thought there were two wires that you had to join to get the japanese one into an American one, there is probably something else you join to get it to be a UK GC.
It was on IGN, unless you do need a chip to make it into a UK machine. If you don't need a chip, it should be perfectly safe to get an import GC now and alter it.

I wouldn't count on it thats what everyone said when the PS first game out "It wouldn't harm the system" But it did.
If you plan getting an import GC then chipping it to play all region games then wait for a safer chip to come out.
