    Will these work in Europe, is there not a different format in North America?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,934 ✭✭✭Renegade Mechanic


    I thought there was myself. Pal here and Ntsc or something similar over there?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,663 ✭✭✭Nolimits


    Xbox one games are all region free, not so with xbox 360. Think PS4 games are also region free not sure about PS3. I've ordered from there myself, I think they are pretty popular on boards.

    Edit: I don't think you'll be able to trade them in though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,382 ✭✭✭firestarter51


    they work on next gen, lots of people in the gaming threads recommend the site


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,747 ✭✭✭Wez


    FWIW, PS3 games are also region free. AFAIK there is still only one game that's region locked, it's called Persona 4.

    I import pretty much most of my games now. I wouldnt trade in anyway so if shops didnt want them it would make no difference to me.

    For PlayStation anyway region locking hasn't existed for at least the previous two consoles. PS3 and PS4 will play any games from any region.

    Don't own the MS consoles so not sure about those.

    Any place where I would get it release day? I think it takes few days for it to be delivered from Canada.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 592 ✭✭✭ccull123


    Really tempted to order it but how long should it take?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,133 ✭✭✭GottaGetGatt


    Is there a possibility that you can caught for tax for customs?

    This the cheapest your likely gonna find it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,190 ✭✭✭Dublinstiofán


    Videogamesplus
    €46

    Amazon
    PS3 €48
    PS4/Xbox One €53

    Amazon is probably a safer bet I'd say and you might get it on release day


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 86 ✭✭cant touchthis


    Ad for the game looks good...this is the one where they hack the city...yea?

    Is it gonna be good?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,834 ✭✭✭Toast


    Yeah hack the city and augmented reality is this games thing. Think all the reviewers are still under embargo at the moment but preordering is always a risk (which is why you get good deals on it). Only do it if you'd have got the game even with a bad review..or you'll be quick to sell it on before the price drops if it turns out bad. Otherwise wait.

    PS anyone getting this on PC if you want it on Steam you gotta buy it on Steam. All the other cheap keys etc seem to only activate on Uplay. Steam will still launch UPlay to launch the game if you buy it there but that'll be the only way to get a full Steam version if that matters to you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,133 ✭✭✭GottaGetGatt


    It will be in around €43 if you buy digital from the US store on the Xbox One

    Definitely won't get it on release day from amazon, not unless you use Parcel Motel and pay extra for the one day delivery.

    I'm waiting to see reviews before buying, it's been delayed and apparently a lot of changes were made to it.

    Comes from Hong Kong on the back of a snail so could be a month before you get it

    Thanks guys,

    I just emailed them now to cancel my order. The money has been debited from my account but according to the terms and conditions, once the item has not been dispatched you can cancel with full refund.
    I have a feeling I could be waiting a while#????

    Anyone have any experience in this regards?

    They take an age to reply, so your item may dispatch before they get back to you.

    Can you this for the 360 game too? If so how?

    i order from these guys all the time for ps4 games post is quick no customs either

    the price of ps4 games in ireland is crazy 70 for infamous


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,382 ✭✭✭firestarter51


    Games are marked up as a cd with a value of $20 so chances of customs charge are slim.
    Only time I've heard of people getting charged is if they get more than 2 games

    It's because the value declaration is low

    Having been stung a few weeks ago by zavvi I'm wary about customs problems with VGP...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 592 ✭✭✭ccull123

    I have ordered close to 30 games off of them over the years and not one was caught by customs, the package usually makes it out that it came from Belgium and has a low value.

    I was the same with zavvi. Never had any problems until a few weeks ago. If they crack down in zavvi there's no reason why they couldn't target VGP next.

    I don't think so. Have a look at the link . It's shown on the hmv website.

    so where can i get this on release day for cheap? i dont wana be waiting 9 days for it to arrive from canada


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,382 ✭✭✭firestarter51


    Try Tesco if you want 360 or ps3


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 402 ✭✭DHFrame


    You might not be able to download packs for a non region game on playstation. I can't speak for xbox but I remember this happening to me when I bought A cod game from Thailand. I tried setting up a Thai psn account but I couldn't purchase anything as it wouldn't accept a credit card. So I presume your Watchdogs will be the first iteration then you might struggle to update. Research this first.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 592 ✭✭✭ccull123


    The cheapest I've seen so far online is CD wow. 52 Euro but there delivery is supposed to be atrocious. The best I've seen in the shops is 70 Euro in hmv for a limited edition version.

    Anyone better this?
