I think that's a load of crap! This game was never released here in America or in any English speaking country! And for them to have the strict use of the English cards on a game that is not in English is just ridiculous!
I find it preposterous that you're not allowed to play with the other cards, which will work just fine, and if you try to use the cards that you already have, and already have paid for, you can get kicked out if you don't buy the English-version of those cards! It's just ridiculous!
One question though, can youstill use a v-pet or the gashapon toys?
Yea it's so idiotic! And the machine obviously have an infra-red support there above the hole that you insert your cards to scan. I dunno whether they allow us to play with iC and Burst with it or not, but most of the people there do not acknowledge there's a infra-red built for compatible with the iC and Burst since there's only Data-Link and MegaBurst sold there...and in Malaysia as well...
Will the machine be under strict observation?
If it can't tell the cards apart as kayera suggests, and it's not watched, could you find some people who don't care if you use the cards you already have with it?
-Yes, they'll be under strict observation by the staffs and there could be surveillance cameras too inside ToysRus and also the machine is located near to the cashier counter...
-I think it's possible if we foreigners gather as a group and no reports of imported cards being used is just as fine as nothing happened.
EDIT: Oh, and you can find Digimon Neo 2 on ebay now if you wanted to test Savers' Digimons with the previous 2-prongs.
