Well finally, today my copies of Animal Crossing and Metroid Prime arrived from dvdboxoffice.com to use with my Freeloader.

On AC Ive moved in and started working for Tom Nook - I planted some pretty flowers outside his shop, but the little git is keeping my money, anyway then I had to stop to get ready to go uni. But I'll be back to work for the robbing raccoon this evening.

I also played Metroid Prime, which is an absolute wonder - can anyone explain the disappearance of the title screen? In the instruction manual the title screen and game select screen are there and present but when I played it was just white writing eg push start, on a black background.

I was slightly shocked at the game caes being so different to UK ones - they're much squarer and the disk sits in a round holder with a memory card holder above it, and the spine has Nintendo Gamecube at the bottom instead of at the top.

Any way in AC my name is Fletch and the town is Delfino, if any one wants to give me a house warming gift.

Where, on the site, did you get the code? Oh, and the two free games and a song should come in a letter from Nintendo - check your mailbox.

They are not indeed.

If Harvest Moon is not released for GC in Europe, then I will get a freeloader and AC too.
