PM Heller. He is a member of this site and is a supplier of quality, cheap games. His thread is here:
myps3.com.au/
But just message him here:
myps3.com.au/
Ask for whatever games you want and he'll get back to you with a price

If you're planning to trade your games in on new ones at stores like eb, game and JB you have to be aware that they will not accept imported games.

If you wanna get rid of imported ones, go sell em on eBay, everyone there knows that imports work on all PS3's so they dont care.

Dont even bother comparing COD4 to R6V. COD4 will blow it out of the water.
And as for the other q's, PS3 games are region free so get your friend to get a pile of the games, but make sure they're english

www.play-asia.com

bought my ps3 from there, have no hesitation recommending them for games. you can choose where you get your game from (Jap, asia or US) and the delivery is quick and cheap. got COD4 for $75, FIFA for $55 and just picked up Virtua Fighter only because it was $40

i have a feeling VF5 isnt in english but i dont mind, its only a fighting game

UBI Soft

Thanks Liam

So Aust and UK are Pal, and NTSC is the US.

However with games it region or Pal/NTSC doesnt matter?
Is it best to order only US copies, because they are in English?

Is Heller cheaper than Play Asia?

liam_w says:

Its usually both, region and Pal/NTSC. But with the PS3, there are no regions, but they are stiff NTSC or PAL. But if you are usuing a HD TV which most of us are, then there is no need cos in HD there is no PAL/NTSC.

I get US games cos they usually get them first and yes, theya re in English. Some asian titles (eg. Bladestorm) are only in Japanese or Chinese.

To find out, you'd just have to PM him and get a quote.
His postage will be cheaper than play Asia so that could bring the price down a bit.

I just dont understand why there is still confusion over regions!

THERE ARE NOT REGIONS WITH PS3 GAMES THEY WILL ALL WORK ON ANY PS3 IN THE WORLD! the only 'regioning' is with languages so its usually best to steer clear from jap versions

postage for play asia is less that $5 for a game.

hey posse
i have had great experiences with playasia when purchasing games and consoles
all the games are sealed and new in the original packaging
they even provide lots of shipping options and when the stuff arrives they even provide a $5US coupon for your next order
never had any faulty products or bad service

Hey ask11

Thanks for the reply..... i will give these guys a try and see how they go....

i will also speak to this heller character....

I decided to purchase a playsation based on the release of COD 4, i had a copy of COD 2 on PC and loved it, and have been playing first person shooter since DOOM came out in 1994....

Never played Multiplayer before, so will try it out soon,
Does anyone know if Soldier of Fortune: Payback will be a hot game? what other First person shooters are up to the COD 4 standard?

Nothing is quite up with COD4 apparently. Killzone2 will be though

(thats next year)
SoF:Payback is really violent and bloody. You shoot people's limbs off and stuff.

Multiplayer is the main aspect of alot of shooters these days.

Haze should be another good FPS.
