Weird.

Ordered GT4 at Play Asia. Yesterdaymorning at 07.15 local time here in Holland. It was shipped later yesterday, and then send out trough UPS and stuff. This morning, I got this update in my UPS trace thing >>

Jan 05, 2005 04:43:53 NL UTRECHT PACKAGE DATA PROCESSED BY BROKERAGE. WAITING FOR CLEARANCE

So euhm, it actually arrived here in Holland within a day. But they have more trouble and need more time delivering it within Holland (waiting for clearance. Why?) then ship it from the other side of the world to this country?

Strange. Not that I can't wait, I mean 1,5 day would be *very* short. But just found this awkward. Anyone knows what's up with this?
 
Hi
Recieved GT4 this pm via UPS in Scotland - no customs tax paid.

Works perfectly on v7 pal conosole with messiah 2.

Right.away to play with GTforce Pro...........

Missed the mailman today who had however left me a note that a package from lik-sang is going to be offered to me again tomorrow. I won't be there either, but I will be able to pick it up this Friday. Scheduled an appointment with the PS2 Doctor for Saturday, if the operation is successful it will have acquired some new skills Matrix style. ;)
 
Mine didn't arrive again today, honestly I was most expecting it tomorrow, because I figure it got on a plane from Hong Kong to Sydney before last Weekend then sat at or near the airport till Tuesday then to Melbourne on Wednesday, then two more normal mail days to me and that's Friday, Tomorrow!!! I'll be grumpy all weekend if it's not here tomorrow.

And even more grumpy if my modchip wont play it but I'm 90% sure it will :o
 
Mine arrived today (I'm in UK sent by Lik-Sang on 29th Dec) It's a big box so won't fit through my letter box, but luckily my postie had the good sense (?) to leave it in my porch. Played a tiny amount this morning. All works fine on a UK PS2 (30003) with Messiah 2 modchip. Trouble is I've had to come to work. Oh it's going to be a long day....
 
Just got mine too (lik sang, 29th dec dispatch, free delivery). Luckily was in when the royal mail van came so I've used up a day of holiday work owes me to sit and play all day.

I've not been able to get it to work on my uk PS2 with my swap magic disk so far, so had to dig my old Japanese PS2 out of the cupboard. I'll have another go with the swap disk later. It did boot and got to thei first message screen, but then never got any further so I may have to stick to using the Japanese PS2.
