 |
|
| Where can you buy English version PC video games in Korea? I went to I-Park Mall in Seoul, but everything was in Korean. I also tried downloading from Direct2Drive (who I've used before in the USA) but they won't sell to you in this country. Any suggestions? |

| I'd suggest import via internet. Or buying the Korean version and find out of someone made an english patch for it. |

Amazon won't ship here, unfortunately, nor will anyone else AFAIK. I have had a friend back home help me out with that.
You can occasionally find something in the video game underground place at yongsan, but it will be outrageously priced. |

You know there's a lot of buildings surrounding iPark Mall, called the Electronics Market? You might find something you like there, in English! They have buildings and buildings and buildings full of PC games, PCs and peripherals.
Walk to the back of the mall through the tunnel next to eMart or if you're inside the mall, look for the bridge connecting the mall to another building.
iPark Mall is not a nice place to find computer games. They only have one shop selling PC games! |

Agreed. Unless you must play online games, almost any game you want can be downloaded from torrent sites. |

I've bought from direct2drive in Korea without any problem same with steam. However, your steam payment method has to match your country. So if you're in Korea you need to use a Korea paypal/CC. As I have a Canadian CC, I need to send them a note on support asking for an unlock of my account and append ?cc=ca to all the urls if I want to buy one of those games.
most games you buy in Korea will have English as an install option. |

Its a discussion forum hundreds or thousands of people come here every day. You suggested something ridiculous given the other options and then claimed the OP was immature and ignorant for asking that kind of question.
I just called you on it, thanks for coming out. |
