Raiden, I am getting the US version off of Suprnova. And it will work, provided your tv can support the NTSC signal, if not then you will have to apply a PAL patch :)

oh man your gonna love this, its been the pain of using swap magic. Xenosaga is a pretty big game so they put it on a dual layered DVD 9 disc, its too big for swap magic to run, theres been countless threads on trying to get it to run, but you can't, the only way is to buy a US Ps2, only a few games have been put on to dvd9, mainly big ones like rpgs. I was worried that because metal gear substance was put on a dvd 9 that snake eater would too, but it seems that mgs 3 snake eater is on a dvd5 so that means swap magic will run it, yaaay.

no problem,just make sure before you get a game that its compatible with swap magic, like i say 98% are but the odd few like dvd9 games aren't.

Hello everyone I just came back from my local video game retailer and I got my copy of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. I went in yesterday and they told me to come back today the 18th, it seemd that there had been a delay here in California for delivery, see the funny thing was that the distributors already had the game they were just not on time with delivering to retail stores, but as my good friends here in Game Dude one man took the action, he called in and went to pick up the box containing a whole load of MGS3 copies, after waiting for 40min for him to come back all I could say about that situation was "SWEET!", so I think it's about time I took a deep breath and go handles my bizz. All I can tell you guys is that I ain't coming out of my house until I am done with it. I'll back it up after im done and try to be prompt on posting my results with Swap Magic & MGS3. Well everyone im out. ^_-

You know EB is owned by GAME, and EB sucks major nuts. GAME are changing all the shops to GAME cuz EB sucks. GAME rocks although I just rent games now ;). Aside from a few big ones like MGS3, I decided to wait cuz 102 hours dl time is to much... only had 1 seed X0.

hey teggy, you own the original copy of the game though right, and when you said that you only rent them now its because you only need them for the 3 evenings. Atleast thats what i'm getting out of it

I rent games and backemup sometimes. Big games like MGS3 I will buy. Rogue Agent I will buy as I'm a big Bond fan, NFSU2 i bought cuz I cdnt be annoyed patching DNAS. Then I rented deception patched it and now I learn that it needs a fix to stop it from freezing on the connect screen.
