I want to order some computer games that I haven't seen
on Korean shelves. Anybody know what is a good website?

They even have Oblivion which is the hot toy all the cool kids want this week.

"Google" is a focking stupid answer and www.direct2drive.com is
good for US, Mexico and UK only.

Here maybe, although I've never used them, so I can't vouch for their service or lack thereof.

The trouble will be finding a retailer that will ship you the software. Generally, software is distributed by region, so if you want a North American version of something, you will be hard pressed to find one on sale in Asia. It isn't impossible, but very hard to do. Recently, for example, I spent two days scouring the Korean internet for a place to buy a legal copy of an XP OS in English. The only reason I could get it at all was because that certain company was buying directly from Microsoft in Korea, otherwise, it would never have been possible.

I wish you luck! Let me know if you find a place to order games. I wouldn't mind buying a few, but availability makes that form of acquisition impossible here.

Korea really sucks for computer games. I think Koreans are
exposed to maybe 5-10% of games. I think this is because they
are still in the Starcraft phase.


I'll be picking up:
