I don't think I can wait 3 weeks for God of War for PSP and want to import it pronto. Whats the verdict on videogameplus.ca in regard to shipping and delivery time?

I ordered Assassins Creed off them and the delivery time was about 4 or 5 working days which i was fairly impressed with.

The price was €45 including shipping €25 cheaper than in shops here.

Great site.

Prices are always a good €20-€25 cheaper than the high street here, and sometimes they have real bargains on it. I picked up Drakes for €35 just after Christmas.

They usually deliver fairly sharpish aswel.

+1 from me too.

Ordered two games from them. Both arrived in 4 to 5 days. You pay €5 shipping per game.

No complaints here either. I will never buy a game in a shop again as long as that website is there.

+1 to everyone above. I got UT3 for PS3 from them about 3 months ago. Arrived within 4 days. Very impressed. I do not understand why I don't use it more!

I will. I am not bothered about getting it ontime if it means a saving of 15/20 euro

To the OP the game only came out in north america on march 4th so you prob had it on pre-order. I get games from them and find the shipping and price to be spot on, bit cheaper the the shops for new games and it doesnt take long to arrive. A few ebay sellers the games tend to come from hong-kong so thats a 3 week wait straight away.

A user on this thread suggests that previous Rockstar games had region locks, and this game may have too

I know I've already posted, but just had to give another vote of confidence...
Ordered No More Heroes on Sunday and received it today. Amazing that it takes less time for an item to come from Canada than it does from Jerysey

No worries with PS3 version,

And GTA just feels a lot nicer on Dual Shock.

Having completed 3, VC and SA on Ps2, i found SA was horrible to play with the 360 pad.

Anyway, roll on GTAIV !!!

I heard there was something like 80)can't remember the exact figure) being allocated to Irish shops. If you want it that badly I'd definitely pre-book online.

I was in town the other day and saw Assassins Creed on sale for €75 :eek:
Oh, and second-hand PS3 games for €60? pfff
I'll be buying all my games online until sony/retailers snap out of it.

Don't think shops in Ireland accept games from other countries.
