Hey,

I am thinking of importing this game from the US as it is out the 12th of June there, but was just wondering is there a schedueled release date for this game in Europe yet? Will anyone else be importing this aswell and if so where will they import it from because I don't know which is the best but have been thinking of going with videogamesplus.ca. I have never imported a game before so what are the chances of getting charged on import tax etc. All help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
WZB

It was meant to be released today but it's been put back on CDWOW till the end of June! HMV.co.uk have the release date of 8th June.

You shouldn't be charged tax.

videogames plus will mark value of shipment as 10 or 12 dollars so you won't be caught for import duty.
They will send in regular post which takes 3-4 days max, unless you get them on a really weird day where they will courier it (no idea why) happened to me once but takes same time as regular post.
Don't forget if it has online with it you may only be able to play on the U.S. servers.

Damn that last bit is a big downfall..

Unless the servers go global like Resistance will next month then you'll have to play on the US servers.

Not really, it's down to the consoles origin and not the game itself.

It's down to the game origin not the console.

My console is European, my Motorstorm is US, I can only play online in the US. nothing to do with console or PSN account.
(same with my RFOM, F1 etc....)

Well my console is Japanese and the game is American and I can only play on Jap servers.
