Hi
Whilst I know the restrictions placed on Cube's PS2 etc prevent imports being played without mods etc. - does the same apply to gameboy games (SP DS). Iwas considering buying a US unit but wondered if any of my uk SP games willl be playable.

Thanks

any GBA SP/GBA and Nintendo DS from any region in the world will play on a US or Jap or UK DS :)

Infact your UK charger for the SP will charge any DS

www.play-asia.com are the cheapest for the actual console i've found (although they only have JAP ones).

www.lik-sang.com is cheapest for games...

i've just ordered one, but i've bought a game of ebay instead of like sang as it was a bit cheaper and faster postage...can't wait!!! ;D ;D ;D
