Yeah I'm buying this looks like a really fun game, I love Animal Crossing & it seems to be that kind of a game, its getting really good reviews everywhere plus watch this how can you not want a game with an advert like that? :)

only the LE released so far?

btw, the US version works on pal-machines, so you can already get it from play-asia and vgp.ca :)

i am tempted tbh, at those prices who wouldnt be.

whats the usual delivery time for play-asia.

and which is best to order from?

whats the likely hood of custom charges?

also do you get charged a conversion rate or does it depend on cc company?

I liked the sound of it but it now sounds too much of a kids game - player 2 is designed to be an adult where it takes control so the kid can be guided what to do when they are stuck :s

i thought it would be kiddy aswell. been reading a lot on the xbox forum and there is a very good review from a guy whos somewhere between 20-30. its more of a whole family game than anyhting specific.

Yaka, with you ordering today when will these guys ship with you're past experience with them?

And usually how long has it took for the item to arrive, also at the conversion rate of £33 i'm worried i'll get boned by the import tax man.

I myself would go for vgp in this case, as you never pay any taxes when getting the game from them, however play-asia is the place to order from when the games are 100% region free.

is that guaranteed though?

I've never heard about anyone getting hit by taxes from that site for some reason. I dunno if they're marking it as a present.

It was dispatched last night and i hope it will be here by friday from what i have read around most people get games from VGP in around 2-3 days after dispatch so it's looking good.

I orded a copy aswell, A few quid cheaper and a chance to get it early.

They shipped it yesterday, I forgot how long they take to arive, as my last order with them was 2004.

mine was despatched friday morning and like a little kid i was excited it may of arrived today :p but the postman fucked off without delivering anything. the shop also charged my CC 1.80 less, cant complain i suppose.

i just hope it arrives at all, i have a problem with important postage getting 'lost' by the royal shit heads. more like stolen.

Ya i'll be excited tomorrow and wednesday :D but wednesday is more realistic i think. I'm getting Superman at the weekend anyway so if it doesn't turn up it's no biggie.
