I've seen other people with shocked comments on other sites. Thanks for clearing that up for the readers here. I should have done that! Really interesting comment about Best Buy. I've seen a few imports at a Best Buy awhile ago too. I think Tommo (the same company who is handling UFO's stuff) is getting them into stores. Not sure though!@kakashi - Really? I've seen many people playing with their DS on the MTR, but I haven't been paying too much attention to the cartridge. I saw a few people with different colored carts though and suspected they were pirates. P.S. congrats about the engagement :)!@maxchain - You're right! Toys "R" Us' slogan is "I don't want to grow up I want to be a Toys R Us kid" or something like that. Actually, the alternate title for this was "I want to grow up and be a Toys R Us importer" but it just felt too long. I thought the Chuck E. Cheese slogan was one of the newer ones so I borrowed that. Good thing Mr. Munch doesn't read SE. @Aoshi00 – Hahaha you’re right about the HKD amount.

I was in HK last summer, with my gf (now fiancee) and I found it incredibly difficult to find a non-pirated game. Most places just sell the R4 card, and I'd like to say that I saw about 99%, if not 100% of the people on the MTR playing DS with R4 cards. Sad, but true.I had to travel to some isolated mall near my fiancee's uncle's house to find a legit copy of Ouendan 2. Interesting article, Spencer.
