Jeez that was dumb I woke up at 5am and then fell back asleep and dreamed my Brawl copy arrived, woke up again and was pretty sad. Arr, I'm obsessed and addicted already. I guess that comes from 5-6 years of waiting 'n wanting!

I hope I can get my mom to buy Brawl as well today. The longer we wait to buy it, the longer I'll have to wait playing Brawl, and the Freeloader will be here soon.

It's a bit depressing actually, though I'll be even more depressed if it doesn't arrive today.

Mine should arrive tomorow, at which point I'll probably be up for some games.

Aha! Status updated! " 12.03.2008 09:28:07 being picked"

Also, JellyBelly: If I understand correctly, you have to insert the Freeloader once, then the screen will get lines all over it, then when the disk stops, take it out and put it back in, after lines and disk stops again, put Brawl in. You might need to set your Wii display to 60hz too. There's more info on the first page, first post I believe.

Great I got it working!!

The downside, It's in black and white, I had a suspicion it would be. I'm happy though, I'm gonna use my bros huge tv and at least it didn't dre which was my main worry.

See you online soon everyone.

If it's black & White try to change your Wii's setting to 60Hz, and if your TV can't do 60Hz then you'll have to find another TV to use.

All i can say is WOW!

I'm liking Ice climbers (obv), Zelda (who is seriously buffed), Wario (!?) and Diddy Kong.

Totally random but in my first two matches mew appeared and I picked up both CD's.

I'm gonna fiddle round with the game a bit more. *bows down to freeloader*

I'm on my brothers huge hdtv at the moment. I haven't tried changing the 60hz option yet on the wii but I had to do that for the US version of DOA4on my 360 so that would make perfect sense.

Sorry Blackadder, all I can say is that it's worth the wait.:)

To be honest you should never ever use worse than 60Hz anyway... 50Hz is so... prehistoric.

I'm really pissed with Codejunkies. My Freeloader shipped on friday and there's still no tracking number, no email confirmation, nothing! They don't answer to my emails either. Pal of mine got 3 email confirmations of his shipping. :D And his order says "Shipped via Royal Mail" instead of the tracking number. And my order is already paid so it's quite useless to cancel it. Well if it doesn't arrive this week I'm really gonna nuke the ****ing Codejunkies headquarters.

@_@ 9 days since I ordered the Freeloader from Codejunkies, a week since they shipped it...still no news. Oh well...at least I know it works now.

Oh, and my TV says PAL 50Hz on the back, but my Wii's 60Hz (and Gamecube's - my Melee and Pikmin 2 games always ask if I want to use 60Hz before starting up) setting works on my TV. So it should work fine, right?

Believe me i know what it feels like , you and me are in the same boat. I got the shipped status even before friday and i used the royal mail option. Codejunkies/Datels service really sucks, and they are really not making it better by not answering mails or confirming the status delivery.

Brawl is like 40 KMs away from me and it got there at 7am ( It's 2pm now and I'm still at college ). I hope my parents got it D: now all I have to do is wait for the Freeloader ;_;.
Anyone got theirs already from BMC ?

I ordered the freeloader 9 days ago and status is "Bill info Received" on UPS. I think we can all agree to NEVER use CJ again

OK, I got Brawl and the Freeloader, but every time I load it all I get is a black screen. I've installed the update, and my TV can handle 60Hz, so I don't know what's wrong. Help?
