Topic: Do you Import games? And if so, how do you import?

^Topic.

Me? I kinda import games. I usually go on Play Asia and pay for a digital download of a Japanese PSN card to buy stuff off of there.

Yes I do online, but I wish wii and 3DS could play imports >.<

I do not import games. Too much trouble.

I import on occasion, usually through eBay or Play-Asia.

I import fairly often since my local stores can be really unreliable in keeping stocks of older games. Play Asia and Amazon are where I usually get games from, although sometimes I import through my local store too.

Not really, unless you count downloading import games off the VC. I did snag a couple of Japanese PS2 games at a thrift store once though.

I've never done it before.

I might do it just for Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem ~ Heroes of Light and Shadow ~, though, if they don't get on it. I really want that game. :/

I imported Last Window from NCSX, but that's it.

I tried to import Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories from the US (a lot less expensive than the ones I found in Europe), thanks to eBay. When the envelope got here, it was torn open and there was no game in it. Who freaking sends a little cartridge in a normal envelope from the US to Norway with no kind of protection, anyway?

I might import some GBA and DS games in the future, though. From the US, not Japan or anything; I actually want to understand what I'm playing.

Imports can be a lot cheaper than teh stuff you get in your country (though not always, of course)

Not necessarily. If the PSU's external you can just use one from your region. My Japanese N64 and 360 for example are just hooked up via PAL 360 and N64 PSUs.

I mostly play Import games, as the boxes are mostly not as thick as pal ones, I'd miss out on a lot of great games otherwise, I can get some games way cheaper and boxes tend to look nicer.

eBay works for me, and PlayAsia sometimes too. Imports via Amazon are too expensive, people want an arm and a leg there.

Nope, just music, on CDJapan. They do some games too

I order a few PS3 and DS games off Play-Asia. Haven't had any problems with them so far.

I know a seller who did that twice at least. First time the envelope arrived all ripped open like it did for you. Second time my dog got to it and they flew out of the envelope, and now one of the games only turns on half the time. Seriously, if he'd just invest in some good packaging, these problems probably wouldn't have occurred.

I imported Last Window from Play-Asia, and I'm so glad I did.

I do, I use a courier service to ship 'em here. This is because I live in a so-called 'PAL' region, yet there are no blooming games here. ¬_¬

To anyone who's done a digital download on PlayAsia, How long does it take for the code to be sent to you? I Ask becuse it's been almost a full day since I payed for a digital download of a 50 dollar Japanese PSN card.

I don'y import games because I can't read japanese. If I could I would import a ton.

Unless you count having a Japanese account on my PS3, I haven't ever imported anything.

I've just ordered a game from Play-Asia...still waiting though.
