I have a PAL console cause i was studying in Melbourne and I must say the Freeloader works fine. Games in msia actually costs cheaper than in aussie....

But of course the drawback is that its troublesome if u have too many games that needs freeloader. Secondly, you will have no idea if future firmwares will block this program. Having said that, Nintendo's updates so far has not been mandatory and do not add much to the Wii so its safe if u don't update. Also, Datel (the company that released freeloader) will probably release newer versions of the product (which you have to buy) if that happens to counter the new firmware.

So all in all, Freeloader works now. Weigh the pros and cons and decide yourself.

Pros:
-It works!
-Safer than modding
-Cheap (Freeloader + US game = AUS game)

Cons:
-A bit troublesome
-May be blocked in the future

Answering your other question, Wii IS fun. Provided you buy the AAA games and not all the crap games that companies are releasing to take advantage of the Wii's success. So do your research first.

Secondly, its more fun with more ppl. I invested in 4 controllers and the fun factor really pays off because every Friday night my friends come over to have a good time.

About shooting games.....there aren't that many out there but i heard that House of the Dead 2 & 3 have near flawless aiming system.

Hope that helps
