Freeloader out soon

i posted this on another forum the other day, but as people were taking bets that i was wrong (since datel had not made an announcement) i didnt bother to post it here, however a source inside datel informed me that the final 2 "problems" were defeated on thursday of last week and that production of a retail version of freeloader went into production last friday, initial private shipments will go out on the 2nd feb with an expected retail release of between the 7th and 20th feb (2003;)).

Datel will update the freeloader page as of about noon today (london time) with the official details
 
Freeloader is a disc for the gamecube that allows owners to play games from any region on the cube WITHOUT any sort of mod to the cube itself.

Order FreeLoader now! The only way to play import games on your GameCube!



FreeLoader, the revolutionary import game player for GameCube, is to start shipping worldwide on Wednesday 5th February.
Priced at just £19.99, Datel's FreeLoader lets you play any GameCube game from around the world...on any GameCube console! Using FreeLoader you can now, for example, easily play Japanese or U.S. games on any European GameCube console.

Just imagine...at last you can play Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, Animal Crossing and many other fantastic games that haven't been released in Europe!

If you’re one of the many gamers that bought an imported GameCube console and you now want to play games from your own country, then FreeLoader is also ideal for this task. Whichever way you use FreeLoader, no modifications to your console are needed and your console’s warranty is kept intact.

Despite using complex proprietary technology, FreeLoader couldn't be easier to use. Simply load up the FreeLoader disc, then swap it with your import game disc. That's all there is to it! In a few second your import game will load. It works on both PAL and NTSC consoles, and you don't even need an NTSC compatible TV set to play NTSC games!

We recommend you always buy a game designed for your own region wherever possible due to language differences and extra features, etc. However there will be occasions when you simply can’t obtain a game, or are not prepared to wait many months for a foreign title to be released in your region. In these cases, FreeLoader is your passport to playing any game, from any country, on any GameCube.

You can order FreeLoader direct from us now, and we will send it to you as soon as possible. Or if you'd prefer to wait, FreeLoader will soon be on sale in all good video game stores.

Note: please be patient when waiting for your order, as we have many, many customer pre-orders to fulfill which do take priority. We will endeavour to send your FreeLoader as soon as we can, but it may take a few days to receive your order.

FreeLoader's advanced technology is also included in our new cheat code system for GameCube, Action Replay, which retails at £29.99 and includes over thousands of codes for European, American and Japanese games. With Action Replay you can gain infinite health and ammo, unlock hidden bonus games and characters, and much, much more.
