    Thanks but they only sell Japanese games most of which have Japanese text. I am looking to buy the US version of Mass Effect when it gets released in America because they are getting it first before Japan and Europe (hopefully it wont be region locked):rolleyes:

    Play Asia sell games from all regions - I've bought US, Japanese and Asian
    versions from them. Not all games from Japan/Asia are in Japanese/Chinese
    language only - check the individual games for details.For example the
    Asian version of Crackdown I purchased is in English.

    Last I heard no release date is forthcoming from the publisher for
    Mass Effect, they're saying the usual "it'll be released when it's ready".
    I believe this was stated by Bioware on their official forum.
    Edited to add I just found the link:
    http://masseffect.bioware.com/forums/viewtopic.html?topic=559883&forum=104


    Strangely gamefaqs are stating the EU version for release in August, a month
    before the US, but I don't know their source.

    I'd consider it risky pre-ordering a US version at this stage, unless as Kensutz
    is alluding to that you have a US 360. Wait until the game is developed and
    gone gold and see whether it's region free. With certain publishers you can
    take the gamble it'll be region free (e.g. Ubisoft) but Bioware's policy on region
    locking is uncertain as far as I know.

    I would definitely recommend VG+, they're really fast

    Though I wouldn't recommend ordering a US game until you know it's region free. Also, Mass Effect's release date has not been announced for any region so you don't know at this stage what delay there might be in the Euro release.
