Starts out ok but if you get hit by customs import tax then you can end up paying more than what you would anyways.

If you dont get taxed and buy a few games at once good job you saved yourself some dosh.

Is being charged for the import tax regular or is it like every one in a thousand packages sent which are charged?

Sorry if I am being annoying or nooby but I really want to know about it before I risk buying some thing from there.

I've ordered  3 games from them and never been hit by customs tax. If you concerned e-mail them and they will mark the package/parcel half price for you wink.gif

Cereful, these are NTSC J format. Similar to US but Japanese. They could work on a US 360 but certainly not on a UK one.

play-asia usually specifies the region, so youll know if it will work or not.

just to add a little warning -----------

i had a canadian xbox (live in the UK) and imported 3 games before i got the bastard chipped.

i got taxed on every single one. i think it depends how the game is marked / how it is sent (much like going through the 'ive got something to declare' section of the airport). like total said, email them, and be prepared for tax. btw, there aren't that many good games that are region free. region free = shite game that won't sell in it own territory IMO  wink.gif
