me too. please, buy it before i do!
There's 195 copies left ;D

The guys seems very respectable, offering quick delivery, and great feedback. I want to buy it from there because I'm afraid Barnes and Noble won't have enough copies on Monday, and I'll end up being stuck on back-order.
I'm torn =S

lolz.

They havn't emailed me back yet. I want to know if it's been shipped. I knew I shouldn't have used eBay.

We definitely should start up a UK friend code thread when all our games arrive from over the pond.

I found out that I'll be recieving both brawl and the freeloader by either Wednesday or Thursday. I cancelled my codejunkies one because I ordered it last week and the payment still hadn't gone through. Ebay yet again has saved my ***.

Dammit - Brawl has shipped and Freeloader hasn't. Is there anywhere besides eBay that has definitely started shipping them? Codejunkies are ****, but I've had bad experiences with eBay in the past so I'd prefer anything else.

I placed an order a week ago and people who did it three days ago are already getting there's in.

THAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE.

I already have a Japanese Brawl, but I'm sharing it with a friend, so I'm going to get a US Brawl too. Tomorrow would be too good to be true for me. I emailed and they havn't emailed back yet. Also they probably have loads to ship, will they really be able to ship all of them for next day?

Also, my friend told me he had an email from them saying this:

You are the winning buyer for the item below. Thank you for your business!
Although 99.9% of our items arrive next day, Royal Mail requests that we
allow 10 Working days for the item to arrive before they will take action.
We do appreciate your patience during this time. [.quote]
To me, this either says:

- The Freeloader won't be sent for 10 days
- Or we have to wait 10 days before we can complain etc to Royal Mail.

I think it's the latter, but I have to be pessimistic or I'll be really disappointed when it doesn't arrive until next Friday :laugh:

I sure hope it comes tomorrow... that would be amazing... :D

EDIT: I ordered a freeloader from CodeJunkies last week too, and mine still says "unpaid". Even though we've paid.

I ordered from GameStop, but it's not technically been shipped. GameStop says 'shipped', but all that's happened is that UPS have been paid the P&P fee. It hasn't gone anywhere yet, they're just preparing them all so that they're ready to go at 9am on Monday.

And you ordered THREE DAYS AGO?!? That's it, I'm cancelling my order. Has anywhere other than eBay started shipping them yet?

I don't think anywhere on eBay has actually started shipping yet... or they're not making it very obvious. Noone here has heard anything, and noone owns a freeloader yet, as far as I know.

Just checked the Codejunkies FAQ:

We endeavor to get all orders dispatched as quickly as possible. Typically, orders will be dispatched within 2-4 days but delivery could take up to 2 weeks.
So techincally I can't ***** about it until next Friday. :(

I orderd on the 28th, when did you order? Because I'm guessing they'll be processing them in order, unlike the gits at Codejunkies.

I ordered from Barnes and Noble, but Gamestop ships Barnes and Noble's games, so I don't know =S
Ordered about Tuesday I'd say.

I got two questions.

Will the freeloader f*ck with your Wii in ANY way?

Would Brawl be ruined if I played it before the European release date?

Datel says no, but no one's actually received one yet so we don't know for sure.

Why would it be ruined? The PAL game will be exactly the same game with a few more languages. All you'd be doing by buying US Brawl is getting one of the best games of all time months earlier than fellow PAL Smashers.

Exactly, getting it before my friends and stuff, it'd feel like I'm using Action Replay in life in a way, taking the fun out it all

I can't possibly think of a way in which waiting around doing nothing for up to 6 months while the rest of the world laughs at you could be considered "fun". When my copy arrives I'm bringing all my friends round for an Easter weekend Brawl marathon - they don't mind me getting it before them, as long as they still get to play it.

I suppose you're right. I'll wait till Monday, that is the deadline for a release for me. If there's no release date by then, f*ck you, Sakurai

Yeah, well, waiting 3 months whilst NOT playing brawl isn't exactly my idea of fun, you know...

Anyhow, any confirmation on whether or not it works with a US copy? I know it should, but I want to make sure.

The EU release isn't Sakurai's fault. At least, I don't see why it would be.

"ATTENTION EVERYONE
I have just been on the phone to Codejunkies. They have confirmed that unless something bad happens in postage, EVERYONE who has currently ordered Wii freeloader (european version), WILL get it by next friday (14th march), which coincidentally, is the release date in stores!

Hope this helps!"

That link has already been given. Possibly not the same page, though.

Anyone heard anything from bmc yet? No activity on eBay, no feedback from anyone saying they got a Freeloader yet. I don't think they will arrive today. :(

I wish it would... I want to play Brawl before US :(

Well, my copy of Brawl has just been shipped/ is in transit. Now I don't have to worry about not being able to get it shipped on the 10th.
Just got to hope the Freeloader comes before Brawl i i doesn't come today.

I dunno.
My mail comes around 12-1.
So my mail hasn't came yet. Most shippers are apparently now getting Freeloaders on Monday because I think Codejunkies said they were shipping Monday. I'll E-mail BMC today if it isn't here today, and ask when they plan to ship.

My Brawl has shipped as well. So now I'm just waiting for Codejunkies to ship my Freeloader. I am feeling kind of jacked of though, since I ordered a week ago and some people who ordered 3 days ago already have it shipped. I just hope I'll get my Freeloader before Brawl because having Brawl and not being able to play it would just be cruel.

Okay, I'm kind of annoyed now. Does anyone know when the Freeloader will be available at Playasia?

Codejunkies, for whatever reason, doesn't seem to ship to Austria. 2 friends and me wanted to order 3 Brawls and 3 Freelaoders at Playasia now, but the Freeloader aren't available yet... what's worse, they aren't even available for preorder yet. This makes it seem like it will be quite some time before Playasia gets their stuff.

I guess we'll get the Freelaoders on Ebay =(

Guys, you know there's a warning on the CD saying it might not work forever, as in nintendo may patch it. It has a nice big ! on the CD with the info. Dosen't mean it won't work but hopefully nitnendo don't gimp people a nice £10 working freeloader. Theres a pic of the CD somewhere on a forum + news site (which i think was a homebrew one) but i don't remember exactly where

Mine is still "In Process / Unpaid / Unshipped" also and I ordered mine before March! And Gamestop shipped my game on Friday >.< I really hope I don't get the game before the Freeloader :ohwell:

That's most likely just to back them up, INCASE Nintendo does find a way around the Freeloader. CodeJunkies, right now seem pretty sure Nintendo won't, but for their own safety I think they had to put that warning on. They'd be mauled by rabid fans if they didn't.

Meh, I'm just not gonna update my Wii for about 6 months, and I don't plan on buying any other Wii games apart from Brawl lately anyway xP
