Does it happen with all carts?

I don't think so, since Harmony has no control over a game once it has been started.

The other side of that coin is that items under $1000 in value aren't taxed at all, as the cost of collecting the tax is greater than the amount of tax collected!
Well, in Germany everything above 20€ is taxed. Period.

Maybe if Al declares it as review copy (to be send back after review) I can get away from it... :ponder:

But I fear logistics and costs won't allow distribution centers for the game on each continent.
Right. And additionally you would have to find someone besides Al who would like to do such tedious tasks.

I definitely am not interested. :)

In Topic: PAL-NTSC Conversions

So... could really every PAL game be converted to NTSC? Are there no PAL games that do game calculations between frames that are so intensive that they can't run on NTSC because there would be not enough time to do all calculations between two frames (NTSC having fewer scanlines)?
You are right, some games written for PAL only were not easy to convert to NTSC.

But why worry? You only want to convert NTSC games to PAL. And then it always fits.
