GAME does ship internationally, as I have ordered from them before. You just need to have a way to pay them as they don't accept paypal.

I pre-ordered Crysis 2 Nano edition from GAME.co.uk a long time before it was released, then, just a short while before release, I got a message explaining my order was canceled because they could not ship to where I lived (North America). However, that was a very large collector's edition (probably the largest of all in the past 10 years) so maybe it was in part due to the size; haven't tried ordering any regular size games (but why would I do that anyway when I just buy those here where I live?)

Ah, I think they do have a weight limit for how much they can ship internationally.

Yea, I just checked their shipping FAQ and it says this: "We are unable to ship orders outside of the UK over 1000g which would include all hardware orders."

Makes sense... all I ordered from them before was a special edition which are almost the same size/weight as a standard release.

Yup. Well, there goes that idea. Looking like eBay will be my only source for obtaining this "Survivor" edition.

However, I will just add that there is a weight limit, which I think is either 1Kg or 2Kg. If you're an overseas buyer who wants a standard game, then that's Ok, but if you want a bulky CE like Gears Of War 3, forget it! Your order will be cancelled at the dispatching stage, as they will refuse to send heavy items outside of the UK due to the huge postage costs. SteelBooks and DigiPaks are Ok

Well this is good to know for the future, as often times there are unique and much desired "steelbook" editions for EU, or CA that you cannot find here in USA.
