Rock Band from Ebay?

[BenGmanUk]

Guys,

As I'm in the UK I was looking at importing from gamestop/EB etc. but obviously they seem to have sold out now.

I'm tempted to order off ebay but am not too sure on whether this is a decent seller.

I'm a bit worried they just take my money on the pre-order which will then be delayed until who knows when. Any ideas at all or other options?

Thanks in advance...

Unless I'm missing something, this item ships in the USA only. Click on the link below (this comes from the same item)

Had me all excited there!

It does say 'Post to' 'Worldwide' though. But then further down it states US only. Stupid Ebayer grrr...

[NotorietyH]

But further down again i says Worldwide again and says to contact seller about postage costs. So it's worth a shot asking them how much it would be to post.

[BenGmanUk]

So it does.

Email sent anyway. I get the feeling I'm going to have to be happy watching all your utube vids and waiting until Jan. Noooooo....

Well I've found you're more likely to find an ebayer who will ship internationally than an online store, though I lucked out and managed to get EBGames to ship my copy. If you do manage to get a copy imported you fancy setting up a band? I figure with the time difference probs it might be hard for me to be in a band with people in the US. Though saying that I'll probably be playing it 24/7 anyway. :P

For sure! So you're the other ps3 owner in the UK huh? ;)

Just PM me if you like.

Doesn't Amazon.com ship internationally now?

Yeah except for electronic goods and apparently the peripherals are considered electronic goods because amazon won't ship it internationally, it tells you so in nice big red writing when you try to checkout.

After launch, there will be a bunch of these up on Ebay. I am sure you can find someone who is shipping overseas.

[jgardz]

i'll likely have one up for auction on ebay (ps3 version) and I'll ship to wherever so long as you pay the shipping. I'll post more info once I get more details.

I've just had an Email back with a shipping charge of $115. With the game bundle that totals around £150 which I'm thinking isn't actually that bad. I'd imagine its not going to be far off that in the UK anyway.

Hmm...

That's not bad at all, EBGames are charging me 50 dollars for shipping, but I think they usually have free shipping and it's economy shipping too so will probably take a bit longer. Works out I'm paying about 210 euro for it, which is about £150 methinks.

Well I paid £150 for a Jap import of Mariokart64 once and that was poor. I feel an early Xmas coming on.

:D
