Re: R4 Cards Banned in UK
This will be fun. my niece goes to a well to do school where all the kids have got these DS's using them cards. the parents actually share the games for the other kids by using a laptop and transferring what games some haven't got to theirs.
I was shocked when I found out. considering a lot of them are in high paid jobs and quite stuck up.

Re: R4 Cards Banned in UK
This bit is a bit worrying
Quote:
However, The Court ruled that the R4 must first must circumvent Nintendo's security systems before it can work, therefore making it illegal.

This means although Jailbreaking has been declared legal in the US, based on that logic Jailbreaking can be banned here.

Re: R4 Cards Banned in UK
All this means is its added to a whole list of other things banned in the UK that continues to be sold but illegally instead. It would be amusing to see a police officer searching your Nintendo DS

A new ruling from the High Court in London has officially outlawed the importing, advertising or sale of R4 cards.

Yeah, I read that too, they ban R4DS's but there are loads of alternatives you can buy (from loads of other countries too).
