Buying games before you have the capacity to play them seems to me to be the hight of stupidity.

If you waited until you were aware that your "freeloader had been dispatched to you, and then ordered the imports, that would be OK.

But buying a load of games on the premise that you will be getting a product which has yet to be released just seems dumb.

Sorry if that offends, but I would never do that. If for no reason other than the interest I will save on buying the games at a later date.

You see that may seem stupid to you, but not to me. I got all of my NTSC games cheaper than you could buy them here, so thats a bonus. The only shadow hanging over freeloader is when it will be released, not if.

Heh- yeah, like Sam said, i got my copy of SMB 2 from an unnamed website :D for the good rpice of £32 altogether, and that's including P+P. Not bad too- got it in four days. :D

so you save £3 on a game. the freeloader itself costs £25. So you'd have to buy 9 import games at that "bargain" price before the investment bears fruit.

And with the continued delays of the action replay device, some of these games may well be available to everyone else before you get them.

£25? No- that's for the freeloader AND AR. i got the FL seperately for £17. Besides, I was going to get SMB 2 anyway, so why not get it early? And what if the FL isn't released? I have friends at school who have USA cubes- and would indeed be interested in buying it.

I pre-ordered my Freeloader for £16 on E-bay and also purchased Hawks 3 and Dave Mirras 2 (both NTSC) for the total price of £35.00. Therfore, I've spent around £50 for two games and a freeloader which isn't too bad.

oh deary me, all your poor people waiting for the freeloader to arrive, well, good luck to you, byt the time it is released allt he games you want now like metroid will be released here

oh well, i am thankful for my import cube i have had hours of fun already!

Heh. And i'm sitting here with a q that runs us games, and i still haven't bought any.

Been keeping an eye out on ebay, but none seem that cheap. SMB 2 would be good mind...
