I looked into buying a KISS LE as one came up for a superb price near a friend of mine in USA. Biggest issue is Spike and it being a non UK game.
Reading this, not sure if there is a way of getting them to play in the UK?

Anyway to help Will, it must just be true that KISS is the worst game since WWE and code is as unfinished as WOF

Thanks Simon
Yeah, I saw a Premium for sale in CA for just over £4k! I was also tempted but worried re the region issue. I do remember reading about someone on the forum who imported a US Kiss LE and got it working with a board a guy in Germany made, but I think he had some issues. I'll see if I can find the link.

@chuckychucks - Is everything still working ok with your imported Kiss LE?

It certainly does seem risky with Spike. So, you have to add an extra board from Germany?
Could get a KISS LE for under £6500 which includes VAT and shipping but I really am not sure I would want the hassle and risk.
Spike is bad enough as it is without adding extra modifications that can fry node boards

Extra board from Germany. Why, should work ok. Just change plug and country setting.

Easy to convert if you know the right people
After a bumpy start with a capacitor on the mod board in the wrong place and a node board issue I am pleased to say that I am still rocking and rolling with my Kiss LE with no problems.
Would I import another game from the US, most definitely..it would not cause me a second thought, my Metallica Premium is also. a US game and I have never had a problem.
I have 4 more games that I want to get when I have the money, Walking Dead LE, Ghostbusters LE, Aerosmith Premium or LE and Simpsons Pinball Party, my life will not be complete until I have these
I will most likely source 3 of these from my contact in the US unless I am lucky enough to get them at a good price in the UK or Europe.
Now I’m off to shake the crap out of that money tree

My mate in the US said it’s just software that blocks the region, is that right?

no sure that its available - might be a NIB order - as he's a stern dealer - but if not its all supply and demand
Not sure about Spike but 100% it is software on SAM games. I know for a fact.
