    Can anyone recommend a good place that I can order US Wii games from. Normally I go through Amazon International Sales but they aren't going to carry the upcoming The Beatles Rock Band. I really do want the deluxe set with everything included so I'm looking for a reliable company or person so that I won't get ripped off.

    Thanks!

    Play.com don't export US games since they're based in the UK.

    Edit: It seems like Play-Asia is going to carry the whole US limited edition thing.

    Play.com like everything based in the UK is WAY overpriced :crying: It's good to know that Playasia will be doing it though. Is it uncommon for them to do US games? I always thought they were Japanese only.

    Not uncommon at all, they have US games for every current gen console (as well as the PS2 at least).

    Surely a private sale on these forums would be acceptable. If I was in the US i'd help.

    What games are you looking for? I'm moving soon and I'm unloading a lot of my Wii games.

    Honestly your best off asking a forum member to do it for you. Especially if it's one of those pre order things you can only get at gamestop. Also shipping probably be pricey cause it's gonna be in a big box.

    be prepared for spending a lot on shipping, these boxes are huge and heavy, especially if going with EMS rates($100-$150) on shipping alone probably...:-(

    Buy.com have it listed for preorder, here, but you'd probably want to check with their customer services that they'll ship games overseas. They do appear to sell internationally, just not sure if they have restrictions for games.

    Alternatively, I'm pretty sure that the folks at www.ncsxshop.com would ship to you, although you'd probably have to special order from them, as it's not listed on their web site yet.

    Yes, I tried to order that but it's being sold by Amazon.com Not Amazon Export Sales or whatever they're called. Amazon.com won't ship outside of the US. My other 3 US Wii games I have coming from Amazon in June and July are sold by the Export sales section of Amazon. No idea why the Beatles box set isn't though. Could be due to shipping costs?

    They won't ship to Japan either. Tried a few years back.

    Thanks though:thumbsup: I think I've got it covered now. a few kind souls have offered to pick it up for me.

    http://www.ncsxshop.com/cgi-bin/shop/index.html is an importer in the U.S. but they also carry U.S. games and ship to japan. I'm recommending them for future wii us only releases. Sadly I don't think they will carry beatles rock band. You can e-mail them and ask though they respond pretty fast.
