| I can't see why not and in fact I just checked on their website and clicked on "my account" and clicked on the "add/change new addresses" and it had an option to ship to Canada/U.S. so I am 99% sure they DO. |

Dunno. I just ordered final fantasy x international and they just shipped. Should be here in a few days (here being Korea). |

| They're really good actually. I ordered Halo 3 from them and the processing took a couple of days but then was ready to go. The shipping was free to Korea (5-10 days) but I chose to spend an extra 12 000 won to have it fedexed and it got here 2 days after that. Got a $5 coupon off my next purchase too. Another friend of mine just ordered Halo 3 yesterday and he got confirmation that it was shipped by late afternoon! He's using the free shipping method so I'll let you know when it arrives. |

I like play-asia -- the shipping is free and there's no hassle with customs (fingers crossed). However, my last two shipments have taken two weeks to arrive, so I may start going the express (paid) shipping option.
Also, their return policy is not bad. I got a cracked Bioshock disc from them and was able to return it with minimum hassle. |

| The description of the game is accurate so you know exactly what region/language you are getting. My halo 3 Asian/English edition was 100% legit, sealed and I had no problems. Their products are real. |

What he said.
For Region 3 games, they sell the Japanese, Korean, and Asian (ex-Japan and Korea) versions. The Asian versions are either the games manufactured for sale in Hong Kong or Singapore, so will have English manuals (or bilingual English/Chinese manuals) and English gameplay. A few are the versions for sale in Australia.
They are all legit, but the Asian version games have the advantage of being priced about 15-20% less then the U.S. version games. |

Thanks so much for clarification on that. Looking at ordering a few games for my PSP. |

if you want to access blocked sites use a redirection site like this...
http://www.bizbrowser.net/
just enter the website in the box at the bottom and it will allow you to browse it...
not sure about security in so far as giving credit card info etc... |

Their prices on PSP games are good and they sell a lot of the ones you don't usually find for sale in Korea (and of course, you get the English manuals).
Another advantage is they use PayPal. |

| Awesome! Thanks. What country do the products come from? What about customs, do you ever have to pay taxes/customs? |
they ship from Hong Kong and i didn't have to pay for taxes or shipping (free to Korea) I got halo3 (US region)from them just a couple days ago; it took about a 9 days.
customer service is good too
FYI If you pay via paypal, it will still ship to the address you put on Playasia; not the address listed on paypal. (confirmation page on paypal will [incorrectly] confirm shipment to the address you have on Paypal site)
Are there are a lot of xbox live gamers in Korea? I've played with my buddies from back home in the US but the hours are problematic in my schedule. So if anyone plays halo, send a FR to my GT xteethx
thanks.. |
