i like using these boards. you can find good games that have just been handed down. better than dropping 60 for a game thats really good but not worth playing through again. red dead redemption and mgs4 for example.

Yongsan, Technomart, COEX. Prices are really not that different.

I found that ALL the games I bought here ran in English (the language to which my Korean bought PS3 is set), even though the vendor insisted that the game version was Korean (e.g. Little Big Planet 1 & 2). I wouldn't take this as a guarantee though.

haha, I was a die hard pro evo player for so many years, as long as I can remember. To the extent I hated FIFA players like I hate Man U fans. But, and even now I find this difficult to say, FIFA 2011 has converted me. Trust me that's painful for me to say!!
