Unfortunately, they don't ship videogames overseas. Always been their policy for some reason.

I usually go with Tronix for American games, but they tend not to list stuff for preorder until it's pretty close to the release date.

Thank you! I enjoy speaking my mind instead of holding back what I think to make other people feel better. Get over it just because you don't agree with me.

Forum popularity contests are such a pointless endeavor.

If it really ends up unlocked for NTSC J consoles, I'll be glad as that means I don't have to dig out my NTSC U console after all. I use my J console for almost everything despite owning both.

I searched on Amazon and I swear it didn't even come up. Thanks for the link :)

But I'm unsure why the price is 65$ CAD? Candian Dollar is pretty much on par with the USD.

Edit: You know what I typed in "Death Smiles" But realized the name was listed as "Deathsmiles". Thanks for your help :)

Edit 2: Just placed my Pre-Order on Amazon.ca :) I hope it gets to me safely

A lot of my Canadian friends are getting screwed like this, because games follow the way of the USD. It's the "not American" tax.

Play-Asia -is- taking orders, but they put the listing up long before Aksys actually put out the pricing details. They haven't updated the listing yet, so they're still overcharging for it.

Alright.. Over the years I've had several folks in countries in which I don't reside be nice enough to grab things for me.

This LE is a pretty nice package so here's my little offer for the non-USA residents.

I will order up to 10 of the USA DeathSmiles LE games from Amazon. I get free 2 day shipping, so I plan to use that. For most releases they will ship early and I'll receive it on release day. There's no sales tax so the $50 price is what it is.

I will pass this price on to anyone outside the USA that wants one of these.

Rules:
-You need +5 or better feedback on this site with no bad mojo, or be someone I've done business with before
-You prepay for the game via Paypal with $50 in my account a minimum of 1 week from release
-You pay actual shipping to your location, must be traceable and insured (I need to figure out logistics on this, I may allow payment after shipment)
-I won't declare these as gifts so don't ask
-YOU CANNOT PM ME HERE AS I CAN'T KEEP IT CLEANED OUT
-E-mail me at: deathsmiles@me.com if you want one and include your full name and address

Note that there will be companies out there offering these with shipping that will be more reasonable. It's all going to be USPS, so go to www.usps.com and check out the shipping from the USA to your location. Note that I recommend EMS.

Keep in mind that PayPal takes a cut of the money you receive if it isn't declared as a gift.

brentsg, you do realize that the majority of international buyers can't actually use Paypal Gift, right? I am slightly tempted, but LEs are usually fragile, and often if I don't use EMS or FedEx, they arrive with a tiny bit of damage.

Lordstar, no, it's like that in the original too. http://blog-imgs-24.fc2.com/m/e/r/merrone/PIC00374.jpg

Eh people should be able to get the funds to me without incurring too much on their end. I just sent Zak 400+ pounds using gift and the fee was like 2 pounds for the currency exchange.

As an aside, it looks like 2 of the 10 are spoken for.

Elixir these will be packed well if you want one. I probably err on the side of making things a bit heavier than they need to be but I generally double-box things like this when possible. I'm not looking to make, or lose any money on the offer.. just make something available.

That's fine if folks consider it spam here. I only stuck it here because some were grumbling about it being difficult to obtain.
