Anyone here bought from Play-Asia.Com?

As per title.

I really want Resident Evil HD Remaster but anywhere outside of Asia this will be a download only, only Asia is getting the physical disk-based copy.

For £22.25 delivered it doesn't seem like a bad price but i've never heard of this site until recently and i'm wondering if it's trust worthy. Also i'm assuming this will work with a EU PS3 but could anyone confirm please? I have the 60GB backwards compatible Phat model.

Its a very old site and (I believe) quite trusted among the import gamers. A quick google will throw you up any issues I imagine. I can't 100% remember if my brothers or I have used in the past but I believe I have (with no issues.)

Only issues with import games is you wont be able to trade in at the likes of GAME etc.

Ordered once from them a long time ago, can't remember any problems.
I think it was a Ds3 controller I ordered.
Are they not similar to Amazon?

Me few times, but last time i waited almost 2 months for them, so i stopped using them.

Ordered a fair bit from them, never had 1 issue from them.
Another site is videogamesplus.ca
They ship stuff quicker than playasia.com

Very reputable site, been around for a very long time.

Thanks a lot for the info guys. I think i'll bite the bullet after the new year for Resident Evil.

I think the EU version is coming out in January mate, just hold out I think it'll be £15.99.

In regards to play-Asia I've never used them myself but heard good things.

Videogamesplus is a very good site, used them before.

Play-Asia are an awesome retailer. I have been using them for over ten years and frequently used them for US Nintendo DS games, GameCube and Wii Accessories and other odds and ends. I last used them in the summer for 3 DS games. They have existed since the Lik-Sang days but became one of the biggest known import sites after those guys ceased doing trade.

Only thing to be cautious of is import duty (as with any non-EU site I guess) which you can be hit with. Either way they are fine and have a good reputation.

Great website for imports, I have used them countless times over the years and always been happy with the service.
As said you do have to be aware of being stung by customs but for me the items I have ordered has passed straight through and I usually order around £100 worth of stuff at a time.

Bought Sonic Adventure 2 (Anniversary edition) for Dreamcast from PlayAsia some 10 years ago. Seem to recall a straightforward transaction.

e: oh, and D2 for Dreamcast. Probably the same transaction

The only region locked game on the PS3 is persona 4 arena so there won't be any issues with that, and as for the site it is well known so you won't have to worry about that either although you'll most likely have to hand over an extra £8 to royal fail plus a quid or so in tax when it enters the country depending on how on the ball the people at customs are (which is going to be more likely at Christmas).
