My NOM UK buddies get their American games from some place in Canada that ships internationally. Can't remember the name though.

I get all my US import stuff from http://www.dvdboxoffice.com or http://www.tronixweb.com. But you may also wish to try out http://www.ebgames.com or http://www.ncsx.com
They all ship internationally. The cheapest solution is dvdboxoffice with free shipping worldwide, but you have to be patient when you order there.

DVD Boxoffice are evil. Steer well clear.

Video Game Depot will ship internationally, but with these orders you must pay with PayPal, international money order, or wire transfer.

I used to use dvdboxoffice but got sick of their long delivery times. I also used Tronix once and my games were lost in the mail for 12 months! But I DID get them! lol
So now I just stick with eBay. There's plenty of brand new games for sale and it's in the sellers best interest to get it to you fast and in good condition as their reputations are on the line. They seem to care more then online stores do.

Oh, I didn't know this one, as I never had the chance to order at Ebgames. They ship nearly everywhere but for some unknown reason they don't ship to Austria.

Therage.com (using USPS for delivery) and Videogamesplus.ca have been good to me. Dvdboxoffice are a joke, you save yourself a small amount compared to videogamesplus on delivery but I waited months for a couple of games that had been pre-ordered. EB charge a lot for delivery and I was hammered by customs the one time I used Gamestop.
I can't say enough good things about videogamesplus.ca - only mark against them is that I bought a pre-owned game from them that didn't work (along with a couple of others that did work), but since it cost virtually nothing - certainly little enough that it wasn't worth sending back - I don't feel too bad about it. For the new stuff they're just fine, though. Fast, reliable, and I've never felt the pain of import tax.

It doesnt actually say anything about where they ship to. I know EBgames ship to Dubai but their prices are a killer.

And even i am moderately surprised
Just a heads up for people in Japan wanting PC GAMES.
What is left of Asobit (scattered around aki) actually seems to be selling import PC games CHEAPER than at any of these sites.
... actually, now i think about it - i saw quite a few Xbox games in there last time i was in...
Also, Messe Sanoh Chaos store is becoming very competitive...
A lot of new games are coming straight in at 6800 then dropping to 5800 (Riddick/FSW/etc)
And if it's an Asian version, then it goes for even less. And the second hand section in Traders is also good (this weekend: Transformers PS2 = 20$ )

I've ordered from Dvdboxoffice once, and they managed to screw it up on my first order. I ordered a few games, one was a preorder that was being released a couple of days later. I paid for faster shipping, and being reasonable, I expected them to send everything in one package in order to keep the costs down. Instead, they sent me three packages, forcing me to pay 3 x shipping, AND with the added costs of two of my packages getting stuck in customs.
I asked them "WHY couldn't you at least WAIT for two days, so that I wouldn't have to pay for THREE separate packages?"
And they simply replied "No, that's not how we do it. We ship packages as soon as we can."
Thus, I'm never ordering from dvdboxoffice again.
videogameplus on the other hand. They simply rock. Great, great service, veeery fast shipping, low shipping costs, low prices overall, and they even sell preplayed games cheap in mint condition. I ordered a package from them, but it somehow got lost in the mail. I e-mailed them about it, and they promised to fix it for me.
So they sent me another package completely free, no charges whatsoever. I later recieved both packages...and since they were so nice, I decided, of course, to send one of the packages back.
