"Importing Wavebird"

Hi!

I have got an english Gamecube which i got on 3rd of may.
I was wondering if i imported the wavebird controller from Canada that it would work on my english pal gamecube.
Thx

Right, just got confirmation e-mail that mine was shipped from Dvdboxoffice yesterday.

@ 55.95 Canadian dollers works out to only £23.70!

The US/CAN doller are really really weak against the pound now. Good time to import stuff.

I bought my import for £39.99 from Goblin Games, which wasn't a bad price :)

:) Nope, it's not....you can trade in rubbish like Deus Ex and Virtua Fighter 4 against it ! When it comes out officially it's going to be £34.99 anyway and it's well worth the money because it's brilliant :)

If you live in a city with a Another World store then you can buy them there. They're £49.99 BUt at least you have somewhere to go if it is ever faulty, and by the time you've paid import tax, Royal Mail delivery e.t.c. its a lot less hassle ! Besides, it's well worth it :)

errr... a bit pointless unless you have a really big screen! The main attraction is to get rid of the hassel of wires, without having to be within line-of-site (eg someone walks infront of you)

Anyone know a solid date for freeloader? Evertime I check on play they seem to put the release date back a month...

btw someone has already bought one and he says its brilliant as you can use it from a long way away
