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

Renegade Mechanic · 15-05-2014 8:42pm

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

Nolimits · 15-05-2014 8:45pm

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.

firestarter51 · 15-05-2014 9:22pm

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

Wez · 15-05-2014 9:54pm

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

lertsnim · 15-05-2014 10:08pm

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.

ccull123 · 15-05-2014 10:51pm

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

GottaGetGatt · 15-05-2014 10:58pm

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

Hayezer · 15-05-2014 11:24pm

This the cheapest your likely gonna find it?

Dublinstiofán · 15-05-2014 11:51pm

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

cant touchthis · 16-05-2014 12:33am

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

Is it gonna be good?

Toast · 16-05-2014 1:45am

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.

GottaGetGatt · 16-05-2014 1:48am

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.

Simple answer, yes.

ccull123 · 17-05-2014 5:08pm

I noticed earlier that this game is also for sale on cd wow for 51 euro including delivery. Im wondering has anyone ever ordered from these before and if so what are they like for delivery times?

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?

18-05-2014 12:01am

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

firestarter51 · 18-05-2014 1:12pm

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...

ccull123 · 18-05-2014 7:02pm

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.

MarkY91 · 23-05-2014 8:55pm

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

firestarter51 · 23-05-2014 8:57pm

Try Tesco if you want 360 or ps3

DHFrame · 23-05-2014 9:02pm

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.

ccull123 · 23-05-2014 9:25pm

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?
