Just wondering as I'll be in Dublin over the weekend and I wanted to trade in my copies of Oblivion and Enchanted Arms - where I am at the moment neither Game or Gamestation will take them, something to do with the European Ratings system disagreeing with the American one...

Simple answer would be to ring them - but chances are they wont take them

I've seen Chinese games in the second hand part of Gamestop on Henry Street so I'd say if they take Chinese games they will take American!

Aren't PS3 games region-free?

Yep. Thats why I bought them

However, just because they're region free doesn't mean Game shops will take them unfortunately.

I take them in in GAME as long as I can find a euro copy in the shop for a barcode.
