I would get.
1.Mario Sunshine
2.Resident Evil
3. Beach spikers
The only problem with the last two is that there released 13th September i think {that's what Gameplay said} so the whole point of importing these could be a waste of time now....

It looks like my first imported game will be Mario Sunshine.

Well said.
I'm not knocking PAL adopters at all. Each to their own as I say. But I became fed up with the way the PAL market is treated. I know when I import, I'm getting a proper conversion for a good price and usually a good month or two early.

nothing at all.
Everything for my gamecube has been imported , the gamecube , the games , the controls (wavebird) the memory cards the step down convertor , the extra cases , the s-video lead, the controller extension leads , everything ! and it's all alot/a bit cheaper than the UK, if you get it from the right places.
And the games run at full speed and full screen without having to have an RGB scart and all that. It's better to import (in my opinion).
and my gamecube has an extra socket on the back for a digital lead , to make the picture super sharp , so again another advantage. And the US cube supports s-video while the UK cube doesn't (not that i use it of course, because i cant find the right channel on my TV :( )

nothing at all.
Everything for my gamecube has been imported , the gamecube , the games , the controls (wavebird) the memory cards the step down convertor , the extra cases , the s-video lead, the controller extension leads , everything ! and it's all alot/a bit cheaper than the UK, if you get it from the right places.

Yeah, sorry 'bout that. It was written early in the morning after a hard night's rocking.
Eternal Darkness. It's not visually striking as Resident Evil at first, but the story is better IMO. Personally, I prefer it to Resi, but that's just me.
Both games operate on a similar plain from time to time, but are different games in their own respect.
I'd recommend it over Resi. Only just.

Just America?
Although I'd like to pick up Eternal Darkness from the US, I'm much rather play a Japanese Mario Sunshine.

as long as your tv is capable of running at 60hz
and you have a stepdown adaptor cos the voltages are different...
then an import console should run fine
(i would know cos i have an import US PS1 -reason..cos some really good games in america don't come out over in europe)

Eternal Darkness (If anybody has this, can they please give an honest comment about it)
Or summat like Resi.

No, you just need a Freeloader, not an American GC. Egg Head got a little bit confused.
