Wow, what a good idea. > Except that the average British "consumer" (or their mum, more likely) > would probably not know what cable to get. Aaargh! Even better would have been to include both leads.

I wish they would make it easier too, but it isn't going to happen. As much as I like the look of the DC, it'll be way to expensive for my liking. I don't like the idea of getting 'tied' to imports too... > PS What's it like working at DMA?

DMA's fine :) As for Body Harvest, it's coming along nicely - it'll be getting demonstrated at E3 this week. Will be published in Europe by Gremlin rather than Nintendo. www.game-online.com had some new screenshots up yesterday... It's a *huge* game that'll take a long time to finish :) -- Brian @ DMA [ All opinions & views are my own, not DMA's, yadda, yadda, yadda ]
