Suprise, surprise (no, it's not my Cilla Black impression). Freeloader has now been delayed until February 2003. This is the latest post on 09/01/03 from Datel's website.

No. That's a load of crap. Europeans get 'screwed'? Nintendo don't hate us, nor do any games company. There are issues, accept it. I only ever import when it's absolutely necessary (e.g. Animal Crossing). If everyone had your attitude, it would, as Whitestripes pointed out, destroy the UK market.

I think I've made my point clear by now. Yes, Freeloader will import games. No, it won't ruin the industry. But I was talking about alternative methods of importing that could ruin the industry, such as chipping (and it's common knowledge that you can also chip a console to play pirate games, most of which are from america).

My point was poorly worded. I'll grant you that. But it was late. And I was tired. Was there really a need for:

You're the instigator here, admit it.

I turned 15 on the 2nd January. What's your point?
