Bollox: If i can answer for you..
1. Every fix is on the first page exept for NTSC version, but someone is working already on it, so it will be there soon too..
2. It is getting more and more difficult to get iso from the internet.. You have to look for it.. If you want to make own iso, then more about drive it is more important to have right software.. Try to create your iso from yours original via Image burn.. Though it is just advice, i am not sure that it will be working..
3. Yes, u can.. If you want, i can give you some guide, other way it will take you few hours to find out how..
4. You have to delete all data, couse there are relinked teams + German teams.. But before you do that, some people store their original saves on memory card.. So then you can use one version from the hard-drive for offline with patch and the other one from memory card for online..
5. You will find answer in no. 4.. + You can play online with update (transfers-one) which is not compatible with the patch..
6. Yes, you can do it, but have to warn you, that sometimes it can go wrong, and if you not keepin backed up, u can actualy loose your iso..
