How are region free mod chips/programs such as freeloader viewed?
As people know often in Australia we have to wait ridiculous amounts of time or miss out all together.
Examples are Super Paper Mario for the Wii is still not released here but due in September, and Trauma Centre for the Wii still hasn't be released here and their is no prospect of an Australian release at the moment (it is getting a pal release though).

For any of you who pay attention to my posts, I've been asking about the PS3 and iPhone a lot recently. Every time I post something about them, I've "got my mind made up" on what I'm going to do, or so I think. The other week I got a $700 bonus out of the blue. I've been debating over the iPhone or a PS3.
Some background: Right now I'm with Sprint. I've got a Treo 700wx and pay $74 a month for my plan. Since I do home to home pc repair on my own, the Treo was a god-send. However, Windows Mobile has been pissing the ever loving shit out of me. The phone can also be a bit of a hassle, etc. My contract is up with Sprint in June, but I can get out of it this August for no fee due to the Roaming rate changes. The problem with the iPhone is not only would I have to do all the crap with Sprint to get out, but then you've got the credit check at AT&T (which I've been told with my credit score shouldnt be an issue), but I've also gotta add a line to the plan on a crappy phone to give to my girlfriend so we can still have mobile to mobile (we both have sprint). The plan would be like 8 bucks more than my Sprint plan.
On the Video Game side of things, I've got a Wii and 360. My PS2 died like 6 months back, so I never got to play Rogue Galaxy and Odin Sphere (two games I was really looking forward to), nor did I finish FF12. With the PS3 temporary price drop crap, it's pretty tempting to grab one, even though as of now the only retail game I'm interested in is Motorstorm. Some of the stuff you can do with the PSP etc too looks pretty interesting, and in the next 3 months there are actually games coming out I want. I only have an SDTV right now, but in October I'll have a 37 inch HD set. I've seen the PS3 on an SD set and it looked fine, and hell, I've been using my 360 on one since I got it a year and a half ago.
Knowing all this, what would you do? I'd welcome any advice as the decision is driving me up the wall. I was told to use the money to "finally enjoy yourself," so..

highly recommended, would absolutely use again.

A couple of disclaimers:
- I am a fairly pulpy writer, for which I make no excuses. I enjoy spinning a yarn and will engage any manner of scenario that suits the purposes of the story. So don't offer if you're into reading high-brow literature, as I won't be offering anything of the sort.
- The disclaimers will touch on work that, in some cases, is over three years old and in bad need of a touch-up beforehand. I will be giving a brief touch-up for any greivous errors before I put them up for review, but basically I'm reviewing old work to get myself back in the mindset I once had, plus I'm also trying to pull what good stuff I did in the past out of the bag and polish it up as required.
Anyway, if you're interested, simply reply below and when I get this started (probably by the end of today), I'll shackmessage you a link to whereever I'll be hosting this stuff.

I have the old school install cds so I have to update to SP2, etc. The hard drives get the 137 gb assignment and I have 360 more that is unallocated. Should it automatically add to the parition or do I need to use something like partition magic in order to stretch the drive size?

So, since I hear Vista is such a resource hog, is it best just to turn everything off? Is there a way to optimize it for speed? I think I'm going to grab a copy for my MBP and install it through VMware.
