Topic: Import UK 3ds games

I was wondering if there are any Australian gamers that import UK 3ds games. If so, could you please tell me what site you use as i want to import Ocarina of Time 3D when it comes out.

I can't remember who I used to get Galaxy 2 a while back, if I can find it somehow, I'll be sure to let you know.

I don't think it's worth the hassle really. It comes out in Australia about a week later, plus it's only about 10 bucks more expensive and that might be nothing if you get some expensive shipping cost. Plus if you pre-order it at EB Games you get a plastic Ocarina (for the same price too).

That's the thing. i won't be here for the launch, so if i pre-ordered it from EB i probably wouldn't get the bonuses

You could pre-order it on their site and get them to send it out to you.

Though if your wanting it sooner rather than later, look around on google for UK game sites, or wait till you come back.

You could try shopto.net. The prices are good, they dispatch a day or two before release, and they do international delivery (although i don't know how much it would be to Australia).

Aren't 3DS games region locked? Are you guys sure it'll play?

Both Aus and Eur are PAL regions.

NTSC and PAL are TV standards. AFAIK region locking on the 3DS is done by specific world regions. I'd say to just be aware if importing from somewhere else, maybe do some more research first, I dunno.

3DS games (and indeed all region locked games) are only divided into 3 regions, which are nominally called NTSC-J, NTSC-U, and PAL.
NTSC-J is Japan and the rest of east Asia, NTSC-U is the Americas, and PAL is Europe and Australia. That's how all region locking works.
