yay for import gaming and fast overseas mail

I orderd super smash bros brawl on ebay from the US on the eighth, and it arrived yesterday. with my freeloader, I am now playing brawl early. yay for the ACCC ruling that import gaming, and devices for the purposes of allowing one to play things bought legaly overseas (which includes modchips and freeloader type devices), is legal.

So to any other PAL gamers out there, esp. those in places where the freeloader is hard to get (I got mine in a "game traders" store), all I have to say to you is :P , and that brawl is very fun to play.

Because Australia gets royally screwed when it comes to game releases.

Haha sucker, you bought the Freeloader.

Enjoy the disk when it's rendered useless via firmware update (which despite them saying over and over can't happen, probably will).

And of course, that's ignoring the fact that there's a free way of playing import games now.

Yes... (assuming you still have internets in Aussieland)

most of what I have found so far is an outdated disc swap trick that only worked for imported GCN games on the wii, and i say outdated because it seems that it was fixed.

Nope, it's part of the new homebrew software that's been coming out.

too bad that people with PAL region wii's have a whole lot of trouble making modchipless homebrew work to play NTSC games.
