CV, don't put too much stock in the "on or before" dates Play-Asia puts on stuff. They tend to go with the absolute latest possible date, and most stuff ships well before those dates. My copy of BF2 was listed as shipping "on or before May 2nd" and I got it around April 14th, just a few days after it ws released.

GRAW is an awesome game. A bit frustrating at some points (not extremely so), but the frustration makes beating a mission just that much sweeter.

How's the localization of 360 games in Korea? I remember a lot of Xbox games being totally converted to Korean, with no English options whatsover. Most first-party 360 games (like Kameo and PGR3) in Japan have full English options as well as Japanese. Is that the case in Korea, or is all the English being stripped out?

I haven't seen any games with English options. So far, in all the games I'm familiar with, voice is always English, subtitles are English (except COD:2), and except for Gun, which I think was rushed over here for the opening day of sales, the manuals are in Korean. As far as in-game menus, most seem to be in English; some are in Korean.

Alright, thanks for that. I'm getting more and more wrapped up in Oblivion anyways (til 6AM llast night- whoops), that I'm barely noticing the shipping time for GRAW.

My Bro is moving to Korea with his 360 in tow,
If I go buy me a korean 360 can I play games with him on Live?

ps. Is it worth buying a korean one or do you think I should order one from the usa?
If so do you recomend a site that ships to korea?

Get a Korean 360 for yourself, then order Asia-region games (nearly all of which are in English) from play-asia.com.

Oblivion.....I got it for the PC, and my brother was so impressed that he got it for the xbox 360...

Oblivion is one game that is too addicting...I've never played too many fantasy RPG games before, but this game............it's incredible.
