Delta, you tried:

tqgames.co.uk
anotherworld.com
cex.co.uk
kingcat.com ?

sure one of them would order it for you if you were desperate.

Most import games retailers won't stock/advertise that sort of thing in case they are seen as encouraging kids to smoke, blah blah blah

If you find somewher that sells Suikoden 3, then please tell me. I've been looking for the lighter for ages now, but no-one has it.

just put on my lid, inserted boot disc etc etc all works great, can't believe no problems !
Didn't quite take the 5 minutes mentioned on the instructions, more like 15 but hey it's not as bad as building an MFI cabinet.
Got Bomberman Kart for seventeen quid, great game and also includes the normal 2D classic Bomberman game.
Just waiting for my US version of Moto GP3 which will be here next Friday :)

Oh, who cares.
Let people do what they want, think what they want and act how they want.

Be like me. Don't care.
And soon they may realise that the whole world doesn't care about anything they have to say.

Look, I'm a writer for NTSC-uk, and consequently I need to be able to play foreign PS2 games. I have no idea how to use a solder, and I don't want to get any mod chip which has 24 wires to solder. Can you not understand this, all of you? Many, many people buy boot discs and mod chips to play import games. Not everyone is as avaricious as you make out, and the reason the world is such a crap hole is because of people like you, constantly jumping on people like yourselves.

> Everyone unto themselves...

First and foremost, to EVERYONE listening - the PS2 bootdiscs can not play CD rips. Which means if you do buy one to play copied games, you're going to have one hell of a time actually copying the damned things. DVD writers are bloody expensive, and take about an hour to fully burn a DVD.

> DVD writers are not expensive. They are £150 or less now, which is cheap. They also burn at 4x now, so take just 15 minutes to fully burn a DVD, not 1 hour. Anyway, you are mixing up CD rips an DVD copying all in one go there....confused eh?

Don't state facts which you've made up, or which you think are true. People do buy mod chips for playing copied games, but that doesn't mean everybody with a mod chip does play copied games.

> See above; maybe you should get your facts straight. Made up facts? You're aving a larf aint ya'? Also, did I ever explicitly state that people with chips only use them for playing copied games? I don't think I did. Stop reading into statements for facts that aren't there.
