Are there any down-sides to importing from US?

Archive: 5 posts


I'm a little worried about the EU release date, so I've been wondering if anyone knows if I would come across any problems if I imported the game? I live quite near a little shop that has imports usually not much more than the RRP.2008-10-19 15:20:00

Certain codes, like pre-order codes, may not work. That's all I can think of.

Edit: Oh and if you don't have a HD TV or a newish SD TV it may be in black and white.

Confirmation-

As near as can be told until I can get hold of a US Kratos or Nariko code, content IS region locked. I've downloaded a UK Kratos, and nothing appears, so unless the servers have to be open to activate something, then it's region locked. But everyone I've spoken to is 90% sure that's the case. If I do manage to get hold of a US code I'll confirm, but it's pretty likely.

It's easy enough to get around it, you can create a second user account for the US and download stuff that way, shouldn't cause any problems.

Otherwise, game works like a charm.

Let me know if you have any other US import copy questions.

Thanks Flak, I think I'll stick to waiting for PAL unless the wait is something ridiculous like December but I don't think that'll happen.2008-10-19 23:51:00
