Skyrim, Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3: Are RPGs Evolving or Dying?

Just tried it to just to see if it was possible, and it let me get to the order confirmation page as well.

Game was Dragon Age 2, PC version.
 
Yes, me too :)

What Amazon has done, to compete with the likes of movietyme.com, is now allow UK or possibly any country to buy from them instead of making it not possible(which was handy for people who didn't understand taxes).

Replacing the prevention of being able to buy games is a link, which explains taxes just below the total of the order confirm button.

What are you on about, I can order just about anything from Amazon.com using my Amazon UK account.

So I pay in dollars and I might have to pay custom duties and/or import tax on some of the items. That doesn't apply to books for example (which are 0% VAT in the UK anyway).

It's stupid to think that buying (from abroad!) w/o paying VAT is illegal. Have you not got any idea what VAT is, mate?

I must admit, this thread is going a bit mental.

The thing that interests me the most is how many people seemingly love to jump on the bandwagon to try and make individual people look like fools, I don't understand it personally, as it adds nothing to a thread that was actually becoming more civilized.

Clever you... you were right about books but it had no relevance to this thread whatsoever.

And I'm not your mate.

EDIT: That was a preorder, and still mentioned taxes. Obviously VAT doesn't exist in every country that Amazon.com post to(therefore they didn't single it out).
