Support NeoGAF

Hey guys - amazing news!

So I've updated my address to the UK (had a JP account previously as was living there)

Now I just need to click buy and thats it.....? Seems too simple...

 

[televator]

These prices, GAF... this can't be right... Can it? I'm looking at a Saturn and a PS2 game in my cart for what the dinky internet calculator tells me is ~25 USD. WAT

TELL ME THIS IS REAL GAF.

 

[Kiyo]

$60usd shipped to play Dark Souls III 2+ weeks early? Too good of a deal to pass up. I'll just resell it once the PC version I have preordered releases.

 

[Vex_]

Megaton.

Edfit: you guys think play Asia will lower their prices now?

 

[StayDead]

Ha, hopefully this means people can ditch Play Asia.

bye tbqh

If it means I can ditch play asia for console imports I'll be very, very happy. They charge such a damn premium.

 

[Tizoc]

Oh shit
I CAN BUY THE DAIGO UMIHARA MANGAS NOW

 

[stryke]

This is too much power.

Welp, I guess I had reality bitch slap me. Marketplace sellers don't ship international. Seems this is limited to what Amazon itself sells. I really wanted that ICO fo 10 bucks. Ah well eBay ain't so bad on it.

I need to add a state province or region and they are all jp reigons...any ideas what to choose?

For the record I am from uk

 

[Mendrox]

Depends on how much you value it being physical I suppose, I personally prefer that over having it digitally so I'm fine with importing this way.

Nya I am buying the normal release in April too and I just want to play the game on release date way more important.

You are doing something wrong. Just add a delivery adress to your account.

 

[SuicidalSteve]

Done I missed a link for international buyers xD

Also I doubt they have the multi language version of xtreme 3 just the jp version?

 

[Acquiescence]

Trying to think of ways to take advantage of this. There are a lot of games I fancy importing at some point, and if they're going for cheaper rates on Amazon than somewhere like YesAsia, then swell!

Nope. Rechecking alternatives now, it looks like VGP is sold out leaving

I'll stick to my multi language ps4 collectors on playasia by the looks of things

 

[kiri]

Don't know if anyone will find this helpful buuuuuut;

Here's a list of games from Japan with English levels detailed.

 

[llehuty]

Damn you nintendo for your stupid region locking.

I would be throwing money at the screen as we speak if I could get Picross 3D 2, daigasso, etc.

 

[Jimrpg]

So.... Guess I can cancel that upcoming Japan trip then? It's great there's an alternative to play-Asia which I've been using since the PS2 days.

 

[stump sock]

damn, this is huge. this is going to knock like 20% off of the cost of games I import

 

[aygomyownroad]

Can Japanese games play on UK PS4? I'm always weary...

Great news if they can!

 

[Stuart444]

Yes

 

[kubus]

Pretty cool but I'll stick to Tenso. Ordering a PS4 and a 3DS game puts shipping+import tax at €26... :/

yes, they can

When you need to add an address to your new account you should see a link that says "Add an International Address"
You can input the proper details on that form.

 

[LiK]

Gaming books, yes, Games, no (except for some 3rd party sellers who shipped international).

Yea, I tried buying Gravity Daze CE from them in Dec and I was denied because of my location. Ended up using a forwarding service. So unless that one guy can show us a couple of past game purchases that shipped directly to US, then he must be a really lucky guy.

 

[F4r0_Atak]

Where is the currency converter? Is it only visible once I checkout my order?

 

[Atkison04]

If I import Japanese dark souls 3, will my progress carry over when my US copy shows up a few weeks later? Like can I put in the English version and have all progress with me still or would they show up as 2 seperate entities?

 

[LiK]

Yes, when you checkout.

They won't be compatible.

 

[F4r0_Atak]

Yes, when you checkout.

Ok, weird. I am on the ''Place your Order'' page and there's nothing. (Canadian here paying with Visa.)

 

[Rpgmonkey]

They're selling Star Ocean 5 now and even including the shipping I can get it for 1,000 yen less than Amiami.

This is amazing. With the current JPY-USD exchange rate it's basically the same as buying a full priced game here.

Does it have English subs?

Really? Should be to the right (above the place order button) with shipping price.

 

[Rpgmonkey]

I haven't been following info on it too much so I can't say for sure but I think it's Japanese only?

I don't know what I'm doing wrong... :S

 

[TruthasaurusRex]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong... :S

Did you make sure to set your debit card currency as CAD? It should have asked you that when you added the card. That's about the only thing I can think of as to why you may not see the currency converter.

 

[Mendrox]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong... :S

I am from Germany and I didn't have it too. Seems to be for American folk only.

I didn't use a Debit card... I used my Visa instead. :/

 

[im_dany]

Pokèmon Blue retail edition for 20€ shipped? :O

 

[Stuart444]

I am from Germany and I didn't have it too. Seems to be for American folk only.

the currency converter works for UK people as well.

 

[LiK]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong... :S

Huh, not sure. I'm in US so it shows USD for me. Maybe it depends on the country.

 

[TruthasaurusRex]

That's a bummer. I wonder why the converter is missing from certain countries.

 

[F4r0_Atak]

Huh, not sure. I'm in US so it shows USD for me. Maybe it depends on the country.

Just wondering... did you use a Debit card or Credit card? It worked for me when I added my Desjardins (Debit) card.

That's a bummer. I wonder why the converter is missing from certain countries.

Have you tried with your debit card?

 

[Sammy Samusu]

I can tell this is not going to last for too long. Too good to be true.

Anyway I just ordered Yo-kai Watch Sangokuchi.

Let's see how this goes.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

do i have to create another account? if you dont does your US Prime works on it?

Yeah, debit card works for me. I'm from the US.

I used credit card.

 

[Ephidel]

Their currency conversion doesn't support Canadian dollars.
(It does support Euros though, so I don't know why it isn't working for German folks).

 

[Booker.DeWitt]

FREAKING YES!!

 

[Allan Holdsworth]

This is great if you live in the US (or another of the few countries with no import taxes), but a forwarder (depending on the fees they charge, of course) seems cheaper otherwise since they can change the declared value.

 

[TruthasaurusRex]

You have to make a new account.

 

[comshoplesce]

good for USA, bad for us in EU i see?
