The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
As many of you are aware, Datel, the developers of such products as the Mega Memory 16 on all formats, and the Equaliser range of cheat cartridges, have been trying to bring their most powerful cheat system, the Action Replay, and a version of their DVD Region X, made for games instead of movies, known in this case as Freeloader, to the Nintendo GameCube.
Due to duplication difficulties (as mentioned in G-force issue 10) the Action Replay and Freeloaders have been constantly delayed, although no exact dates have actually mentioned before, just general guesses announced by the website and mal-informed websites giving dates that Datel had never even hinted at, this has brought much annoyance to NTSC game owners who have been waiting since August to play games which they hoped to be playing before anyone in the UK!
These products finally have release dates! Datel have promised shipping of the Freeloader to begin on the 5th of February and on the 12th of February, the Action Replay which also incorporates the Freeloader shall be released. All this information is present at Datel's website: www.codejunkies.com
Ofcourse, if Datel do suddenly delay these releases any further, I'm sure the lynch mobs will be knocking down the great wooden doors to the Codejunkies Fortress and will be causing severe havok to the company. Ofcourse, that wont make them get their products any sooner, but they may feel better in doing it anyway.
Fingers crossed...

Have you actually used Ebay...? I got my GameCube off it, with Super Monkey Ball for £130 (+ about a fiver P&P I think) a few months after the GC release. Which at the time was a damn good price. It arrived in perfect condition. I also buy tons of CDs off there, and they're pretty much always under a tenner per CD (incl. shipping)... basically you just need to avoid people with very little positive feedback and you should be fine. Saying 'they' rip you off is rather stupid considering 'they' don't actually set the sale price, the buyers who bid on it do. If something is expensive, bid on someone elses item (and for videogames there's usually more than one seller with the same game...)

Along with the hassle of constantly swapping disks.
And Sega Soccer Slam is out in this country, I beleive, so why would you get it on import?

That's what the Freeloader and Action Replay systems do.
They allow you to play Japanese or American games on UK Cubes.

How can you tell if your TV is nstc? don't you need that kind of TV to play Jap games?
