Alternative to playasia?

Gummy Panda

As some of you might know, playasia won't delivery to EU countries anymore. I believe it is over Sony Europe going after lik-sang back in the day (i miss them )

So i was interested in picking up Demon's soul for the ps3. The Asia copy (not japanese) has english dubbing and text as well. Ended up buying it from ebay but i would have got it cheaper from playasia.

is there a similar site to them that will ignore sony's rules on exporting to EU?

http://www.videogamesplus.ca/ is your best bet for most titles - don't have Demon's soul though.

Yep. Usually use these guys but they mainly sell Canadian versions and not Asian.

Have you tried YesAsia.com? I recently bought Final Fantasy Dissidia from them and found them to be pretty good. (Delivery took 8 days) Here's a link to Demon's Souls on their website. Let me know if it's any good.

Thanks gothpunk!!!

I'll be using them in future for my Asian needs. If only the Asian copy of yakuza 3 came with English text as well

Ive been looking at the prices on YesAsia.com for a couple of things but they dont seem to be better than play.com an English website (that ships from hong kong).

All discs I order from them come from Jersey, that I noticed anyway.

Is it not CDWow you're thinking of, they used to be fond of HK for shipping goods out?

I buy most of my games from play.com

The game i was looking for might not get a release in the west but has english text and dubbing, so i need an asian site that would deliver to EU.

I really hope Sega decide to release Yakuza 3 over here. Its looks great and is still in the charts in Japan.

Do you have a Japanese PSN account? I downloaded the Yakuza 3 demo from it when it came out there a few weeks ago and was really impressed. I don't know how well Yakuza and Yakuza 2 sold in the West but I'm hoping the success of Yakuza 3 in Japan (I think it has the best sales of the series so far) will lead to a release here. Sure I'm still playing Yakuza 2 so I can wait!

The Western world needs HD Kazuma Kiryu.

I bought killzone 2 and street fighter 4 from them and both were sent from Sweden.
