Where is a good place to get new released computer games(Empire Total War) in person. Or am I stuck with playasia?

[sarbonn]

It's not in person, but you can also buy them directly off of Steam.

[DCJames]

Buy them online, because most of the Korean stores here only carry Korean language versions of the games.

Does Steam care that I'm in Korea? Because they wouldn't let me download the demo .

I bought it no problems....buy all my games from steam, or get the english version off gmarket...ive never had to go through play asia

[Temporary]

Yeah well you will wait for like 3 months maybe never until this game hits the shelves here.

Gmarket is great. Cheap too.
Otherwise, the basement at Yongsan, across the driveway from the big white building, or from the other side, across the street from the console pirates' arcade, has a good selection.

Hey, thanks for all your replies. I'll check out those places this weekend if I can't get Steam to work.

So on the page that shows Empire there is no "Buy this game" button. Is there a trick to buying games on Steam, I've never done it before. I'm pretty sure the game is unlocked for our region by now, might be wrong.

behind the huge shopping complex in Youngsan is a little place(like a cellar) across the street has a red and black canopy says Microsoft on it big game selection there but mostly still in Korean
