Buying import games

Robi · 21 Sep 2011 at 20:25

I have never purchased anything from the US or Japan before so I literally have no idea how to do it. Google didn't produce anything decent, just lots and lots of foreign shops, not advice!

I'm after buying the Metal Gear Solid: HD Collection Premium Package (Xbox 360), so, where do I start?

Thanks!

I usually get my imports from Play Asia, they do world-wide shipping. A lot of 360 games are region-locked though so you wouldn't be able to play them on a PAL console (make sure you check it's region-free before buying)

Handheld (Excluding 3DS and DSi titles) and PS3 games are the only things should import. Most other things are region locked without doing things you're not allowed to talk about on here.

Ah well, thanks for the advice anyway!
