Im trying to order a game off play-asia.com but they state that the shipping address has to be the same as the billing address for credit cards (Mine is a US Visa). What's the best way to pay for something off the site? Direct bank transfer from my Korean bank?

Bank transfer is possible... but with the fees that the bank will add on it won't be cheap.

Why don't you just go to your Korean bank and get a debit/credit card?

My credit card billing address is in Busan, but they are sending to Ulsan without any problem. Email them and ask.
You can use PayPal too.

Yah...My shipping and billing addresses are different as well. Same country, though.

Ive just never had good luck using my debit card online here. They make you jump through so many hoops and usually use IE. I guess Ill try the direct bank transfer route. This is probably a one time purchase since usually I dont have a problem finding games in Korea.

Strange enough, I went to Yongsan about a month ago to get 'Dark Souls' and the guy told me it wasnt ever coming to Korea so Ihad to have someone send it to me from the US. Then I go in there the other day and everyone is selling it. Now I want to get Rocksmith and they tell me its not coming to Korea so I am afraid I am going through all this hassle just to see it in stores in a month.

I always just transfer money to my home bank account, then from there to Paypal (can't seem to make Paypal Korea recognize KEB), then Paypal to play-asia.

Only problem I've ever had s that you will have to pay duty on anything over $150. I had to argue with them a bit once because my order contained prepaid codes that weren't actually in the box (for PSN money and such).

I just ordered a game and had it sent to Daegu while paying with my American debit card which has an address from TN. No problems at all.
