    does the GBA have some sort of terrotorial lock out?

    I've heard conflicting stories and would like to know before deciding to import it :\

    to ensure backward compatibility with the GB and GBC games, it probably won't have the lock-out. icon1.gif

    There is no territorial lockout on GBA. None. Nada. Zip.

    and Mario is great fun, but you need to be in natural sunlight to get the full benefit of the colour screen..

    I was gonna go for f-zero over mario, i loved that game on the snes smile.gif

    Anyway, I have yet another question (or series of them).

    Are there any import shops in Dublin? If i remember correctly, there was one on Liffey Street, dunno about now though.

    Cheapest I've found it online is £147 including Mario or F-Zero (www.lik-sang.com).
    Can anyone else recommend places?

    I think Mr. Calculater, just off Grafton st may have them, but stuff there is usually very over-priced and the staff in there are legendarily rude. smile.gif

    The fokes in Mr Calc said they should have some in soon, they weren't sure of a price though. I dunno, I've never had a problem with the Mr.C staff :/

    I love the way that this mr rude calculator is getting the bad name he (I hope) justly deserves because of the boards. Gwan boycotting and slandering people who deserve it and stuff!

    I presume you mean that indian guy who seems to own the place ??

    Yeah hes a toss and his shop is there basically for idiots who he can convince to buy stuff , i think i remember he told me he could get me a ps2 from japan for a mere 1200 quid, and a game with it for a measly 200 quid extra , hahahahaha.
