Heavy Rain

[scourdx]

European Heavy Rain is getting the CE treatment. I'm not sure if N. America will get them. Mostly we won't.

I'm honestly tempted to import this....

PS3 is region free right?

[Maven]

The PS3 itself is not region free, it is the games that are. Not one game released has been region coded to date & I can't see them doing so. On the other hand, Bluray movies are region coded and can't be played on all PS3's. This can be a problem when importing games as bonus Bluray's may be coded & unless the bonus content is on the game disk itself it's rendered useless. Let me know how you get on importing this, or the cost before you do. Check how the company you use will be sending the item. If they use a courier you stand a high chance of paying import duties. As I said before I don't mind helping folk out. If you don't mind waiting it is best to send the item regular international post to avoid import duties. The other trick is to set up an account with FedEx or UPS to get cheaper rates & send all items wrapped as a present & mark the item as a gift, again no import duties.

I've ordered many things from the UK before direct from Amazon and other places... never had to pay import duties

I placed a pre-order though HMV they're only charging 4.50 GBP to ship "Air Mail" I'm assuming that's regular post and it will take a few weeks. the only other option was "Overseas Currier" for 37GBP... so yeah airmail is fine

maybe I'm wrong but I don't think the US has import tariffs like other countries do.

the state I live in has no sales tax at all... so I don't see why they would charge one to import goods.

Your lucky if you have no import charges, we really get stung over here in the UK. The only place I've found to import games from the US is Game Stop who use UPS for international shipping, no snail mail option.
