So do I, but I'm considering a Freeloader/Action Replay for games such as Animal Crossing which won't be released over here.

I don't recommend either.

Action Replay is a cheat cartridge, and I don't want to cheat in games. And I don't want a freeloader because I don't want to import games, I'm more than happy to just wait for the PAL release.

Action Replay can do everything the freeloader can do, plus the cheats.

The Freeloader is just a disc that allows play of import games from any region of the world.

The Action Replay does the same as the Freeloader, but is also a cheat disc/game enhancer.

AH! I see the confusion. I meant:

"What's the difference between the Action Replay and the Freeloader, and which is better?"

NOT:

"What's the difference between US and Jap imports"

I got a bit confused there.... So can anyone answer the first, proper question?

On both of them?

What extra features do the two have, and which would you guys recommend?

The only differences would be the coding and the languages.

I didn't think that there was a problem playing Japanese games on a US GameCube anyway...

It would obviously be better buying American versions compared to Japanese as you can actually understand what's going on (unless you speak Japanese...)

Sure, the FAQ was recently put up on the website - but that's what happens with FAQs. They're the 'Frequesntly Asked Questions'. If they put it much earlier, then would it be an FAQ?

If you've got a problem with Datel, then that's your problem, not mine and not Datel's. They're a major company that develop cheat cartridges for the UK and US and have a massive customer base, so one or two moaners isn't going to make much of a difference to them.

If you want to moan, I suggest you do so to Datel and not me. I'm just putting up information I know and laughing at you for getting Super Mario Sunshine before the Freeloader was actually released.

Just wait patiently - everyone else has to, so why should it be any different for you?

In the midst of all this arguing and frustration (which I think is unjustified as Edgy is merely trying to help and Datel are trying to produce the best product possible) everyone's seemed to overlook my question, and I quote:

"As far as I know, the Freeloader and Action Replay can both play US/Jap import games, but what differences are there between the two, and which is better?"

That's my question. Can anyone help?
