Yeah I needed that for the Divineo account making. What the fuck should I put there when I only own a cellphone?

It will cost the same as you calling someones house in the UK

Fuck yes. Now we just need US NMH tested, although I'm pretty sure it'll work anyway.

Well it doesn't on modchips so MAYBE it might have problems, I bought a US copy just to be sure though. GOD DAMN WHERE IS MY SHIT

Hmm, I'll think I'll keep codejunkies order active and just see which place sends it first. Then cancel the other.

I got a JPN NTSC game and many other GC games to try as well

Anyone know how fast Divineo ships to the rest of Europe (Netherlands)? I might just order the Freeloader from them, as VideoGamesPlus still hasn't added it.

wth? i got owned! the disc doesnt play because its not a US Freeloader!

Didn't they say that one disc can work on any console?! gah! Off to eBay you go little fella!

Just re-reading the first post, and its false advertising! You do need a region specific freeloader for your Wii.. gah, WHY?!!!

They changed it a few days ago to two different versions... Anyone who ordered on CJ automatically got their order changed to the version they needed.

I can't fucking believe it.
On Codejunkies nobody bothered neither to cancel my order nor to answer my mails.
Divineo should have already sent it (their site says it's in stock), but 24 hours have passed and still nothing has changed.
I sincerely hope they ship it today, but I'm not holding my breath -_-

So wait,

You thought that a disc from a different region than your own console would magically boot up by itself and allow you to play discs from other regions?

:lol :lol oh gaffers...

Well, at least this confirms for me that my disc won't work in the US, thanks for unintentionally taking the bullet :D

See, this is why I decided to hold back.

Well... not specifically for this, I was expecting there to be some firmware shenanigans afoot. BUT I'M STILL THE ONE WHO HAS THE LAST LAUGH AGAGAGAGAGAGAAGAGAG!

Are there any games in the near future (spring/summer) that I would need the Freeloader for? Already paid for NMH, so I won't need it for that.

I'm really sorry to hear about that, my friend.

Personally, I just wasn't willing to take any chances, even if it meant that my US version may be a bit slower coming...

OK they told me on the phone it will guaranteed ship today. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but if it doesn't update by tomorrow I'm going to be pissed

So, since the freeloader seems to be exploiting something in the wii main menu anyone but me get the feeling there is going to be a new firmware real soon blocking it?

Why would you want to update?

Just import NTSC games from now on, or just use freeloader to boot any game(including PAL ones)

I just called as well and they told me that every order will be shipped tommorow at the latest.
Well, I guess I gonna hold off on canceling until tommorow then.

Eh, that's what they told me too...Could have been true...or not... Either way I wasn't intending to give them my money for their crappy service. I'd rather wait a bit longer.

Bah, you actually got through to someone, I got told to call back around 3, which is useless as my lunch hour is ending now at 2, I'll try again tomorrow. I got fed up and ordered another one from divineo and a Smash from videogameplus.ca.

Which number did you use? I used the one that Jeremy-Clarkson-guy posted earlier, the operator put me through to the relevant person straight away, they took a minute or two to pick up but otherwise I'd say you might want to try again
