Hello!

I am moving to Korea in 2 weeks and I want to pick up Grand Theft Auto IV while in Korea. Are there any stores in Seoul that PS3 US games? Thanks for any info!

I preordered my copy from www.playasia.com. Should ship out by the end of April but I'm sure it will be available in Korea as well; probably much later though.

how much was the shipping?

Is there anywhere in Yongsan that has US games?

I'm almost positive that it's free but you can also get them to ship it via FedEx for around 12,000 KRW.

I'm also pretty sure that you can get U.S. games at Yongsan or Technomart.

A few of the booths in the video game alley in Yongsan carry US games, just ask around and you'll find them.

Looks like the US GTAIV for the 360 is region locked...crap for those of us with Korean 360s.

It IS region-locked for 360, but it IS slated to come out here in Korea on April 29th, at least according to the xbox korean site.

Also, I have my Asian region GTA4 reserved from here:

Notice this is NOT play-asia.com. They're already supposedly pre-sold out. I checked with one of the guys at Yongsan I buy games off a lot, but he said he didn't know if it'll be there on the release date or not.

I was in Yongsan today looking at PC games. Whether they have the English version seems pretty hit-or-miss.
