That shows a great deal of confidence in their product if they're willing to offer a lifetime guarantee on it.
I wonder how cost effective it will be for them if they keep shipping DVDs every firmware update- I guess this is why they have such extortionate postage prices compared to resellers.
I'm buying it as soon as Codejunkies or Datel tell me directly. I'm not trusting some kid on a Nintendo forum.

I spoke to Datel directly and they said they hadn't tested Brawl yet and that they would let me know as soon as they had. Hence my skepticism.VOOK said:
They obviously can't put it in the product listing because it's an unofficial product.

Doesn't stop them making those specific things for editing Pokemon games, I think come the end of the weekend we'll hear more.
Im not reporting anything more until we're 100% or I can test it myself. Then I am even sure people wouldn't believe me.

I would assume that the free updates would be limited to the UK unless otherwise stated. I have gone through their process with free replacement discs before for Freeloader as I mentioned earlier and received new discs within about a week.

great man, thanks
now I'm about to place the order and I have to indicate TWO postal codes..wth?
should I write the same postal code twice?
I can't for the life of me get the codejunkies page to work. All the browsers I use (Opera, Firefox, Safari) just get stuck loading something. This is really pissing me off.
Right now I'm trying to load the Wii Freeloader page, and it's been stuck for ten minutes at 52%. Sometimes the page in question loads enough data to show a page (loading bar doesn't go away though), but then the cart doesn't work. Regardless of how often I click the buy button, nothing happens besides that stupid red "please wait" banner.
Anybody else having that problem?
Fake edit: Ok, what the fuck. They're sending a hidden field in their HTML source (nothing wrong with that, it's perfectly legit and pretty often used to keep unimportant data at the client side without needing a cookie), and it seems the process that's sending its value somehow dies in the middle of outputting the value or something.That... that's just all kinds of wrong. I don't claim to be a HTML know-all, but something is seriously fucked up here.
That beast is huge... I just stopped loading the page when that (hash?) value had 16623 characters... What are they encoding in there? The exact value of Pi?
It hurts my HTML/webshop setup senses! And I didn't even know I had any!
I'm a bit ... uneasy about giving them my data now. If they do wtf-worthy stuff with their store frontend, then what about the backend? I'll continue trying though, I want that damn Freeloader.

DS and PSP games are quite cheap (Patapon <£12, Advance Wars 2 US version <£17) but Wii games are only slightly cheaper than PAL internet stores.

I don't think it counts payment until it finishes processing and is about to shipWizpig said:
Dumb question :
On the order page of CodeJunkies, the "shipping" option isn't selected by default. What does that mean ? It's not like I can order anything and not get it shipped right ?
I'm getting all confused, not to mention that I'm not even sure I passed the Double Postal Code of Doom's trial with success.
Edit : Hey what ? No More Heroes just disappeared from VGplus.ca :/ the search returns no results, and the URL in my history (I visited the page this afternoon) leads nowhere anymore.
That's Brutal.

It's kind of stupid, but I think that's with VGPlus when they're out of stock. I could be wrong though.

Cheap, free delivery and usually quite quick (about a week to deliver)
Of course, i didn't use them for my SSBB, i used play-asia for FEDEX delivery (i want it ASAP dammit!)

Haha, I'm so pissed.
4 hours earlier and I had it :/
Edit : Nobody cares about my stupid CodeJunkies' shipping question ?
Here's some more :
When I see "free shipping" on dvdboxoffice, does that mean international free shipping?
Can I have info on the stock on Movietyme? Like "shipping in 24h" or "shipping 1-5 days", that kind of stuff.
More importantly, what site is the faster one assuming they're both reliable sites ?

So with the Freeloader shipping soon, anyone know of Japanese Wii titles which are required gaming?
Paranoia Time!
One of the new tweaks in the latest Wii update would allow little patches for games (that cute deal where it would inform you if the disc inserted has an update available). So what happens if Shiren 3 (the one game I would consider getting this silly thing for) releases some sort of update (like maybe some re-working of how they'll be handling their online aspects or some of the new content they'd later be releasing), would my use of Freeloader block these game specific updates?

Wii Free Loader features great compatibility, likely to have three versions
Divineo.co.uk has shot us over furter insider information regarding Datel's FreeLoader product for the Wii. So far, 41 Wii import games have been tested on a PAL console, 37 worked without problems while 4 required a firmware update to work. This is disbaled but to get these games to work on a lower firmware, you need to do a DOUBLE swap, ie re-insert FreeLoader then insert the game again to work. It is also beleived that there will be three versions of the software, one for each JAP/USA/EU, thus the images are likely not to be final and will have just one respective flag on the front.
either play asia is right or maxconsole wrote this because of play asia

Is it just me, or is anyone else slightly disturbed by the fact that there are no hands-on reviews of a Datel product? I mean, it would be hard to believe that they'd claim it did something and that it just didn't work at all... but, well, this is Datel we're talking about...

No, I don't think that was game patches, like what happens on Xbox Live. It just pops up a message to inform you that the game disc has a system update on it that must be installed.LordGek said:
