Amazon won't ship games here. Unless they've changed their policy (again).

Yeah, Just tried to order something there and it let me. They must have changed their policy on shipping games again. They wouldn't ship games here for about 2 years at least due to the WEEE laws.

Good to know.

Fair enough on most of those but Ninja Gaiden II pre owned for €20 is a rip off really. I bought it new a while ago (just over 7 months ago) from GAME in Derry for £20 (works out around €22 I think and new too).

Unless you mean ninja gaiden sigma which I guess is acceptable.

By the way lads, a good place to look for best prices on games is gamestracker.com. They have a region select thing so you can check the best prices for games for online shops that deliver to Ireland.
