European import questions

[Hefferin]

Thanks for the info people so I take it we can just use any old address for the first address. Now can some one tell me a good place to import :p

[chinook]

Don't order from dvdboxoffice that's for sure. Others seem to be importing from gamestop.com, ebgames.com, importmadness.com with success.

[machalite]

Well i ordered from gamestop and my order was shipped yesterday, and out of all my m8s who ordered from dvd box office and importmadness, theirs havn't been shipped yet, so i recomend gamestop

[Kantaro Drift]

hehe, I was Wondering what this means?

In Transit

Does it mean what I think it does? (That my game is being driven to me in a Transit right now, and I Should possibly recieve it tomorrow?)

[HaLO]

so it doesn't matter if you enter a valid adress or simply a fake adress? or is there something really important about playonline?

[chinook]

only registering for playonline requires a north american address, so yes you can get away with making that part up. the billing part of the registration does indeed let you register with worldwide address information, so that's nothing to worry about

[Hefferin]

Yay so I find out I can play this game, yet now I have no idea if I can play it through my router, the world just doesn't want me to play FFXI :sweat:

[HaLO]

yes that part i get! thx!

but i wanted to know if there's something important about that playonline registration. something thats's worth searching an valid adress...

<jumps up and down excitedly, the anticipation nearly killing her>

Ooh, it’s in the country! It’s in the country! In fact, it’s within 25 miles of me. And they’ve got the entire day yet to bridge those few steps and get it in my greedy little paws.

7:07 A.M. BURY ST EDMUNDS, GB IMPORT SCAN
7:06 A.M. BURY ST EDMUNDS, GB OUT FOR DELIVERY

Assuming that’s local time that’s nearly four hours ago.

<bounces up and down>

Uh-hum…

I don’t think that the PlayOnline registration is that important. It’s the interface used to start FFXI (and that online card game), as well as a chat and email client. But I can’t see why it’s any more important to give them a valid address than say Hotmail. To be sure I’d give them one of your friends’ addresses though so that they can refer anything through to you if needed (which I seriously doubt will be needed).

It’s close! It’s close!

<jumps into the curtains in excitement>

Anyhow... Im expecting my copy tomorrow, or even today if Im lucky! Like a couple of hours away... :p ahh *excited*

[Lily]

Who did you use to order it from Nyanya?

[Nyanya]

OMG! OMG! OMG!

<bounces off the walls in joy>

I'VE GOT IT!!! I'VE GOT IT!!!

At 11:56am today the UPS delivery man arrived at the reception here and I'VE GOT IT!!!

How am I going to get through the rest of the day!!! I want to play this, not work. :sweat:

Anyway, I ordered from GameStop.com. I've had good experiences with me and (unlike EBGames.com) they accepted my UK credit card.

As for DVDBoxOffice.com... I've had bad experiences with them. I pre-ordered SWG with them two months before release. But a week before release I started hearing rumors about them always having a low stock and being slow, etc (even though I asked for fast delivery). So I got cold feet and also ordered with GameStop.com a week before release, thinking to cancel one when the other told me they shipped. And guess what, not only did GameStop.com get me my copy a few days after release, but they got it to me even before DVDBoxOffice realized they were supposed to ship something to me.

Oh my, now I'm sounding like an advertisement for GameStop.com. :sweat:

<jumps all over her keyboard hoping that'll make time go faster>

<sighs sadly> Didn't work.

[chinook]

why didn't anyone tell me before I took the plunge as of yet, I'm waiting for any news from dvdboxoffice.com. bah!

did you have to pay tax when you got it, nyanya? I may just cancel my order from dvdboxoffice and just get it from gamestop now.
