    Does anyone have any experience of importing games from the US?

    I want to get the US Collectors Edition of Little Big Planet 2 because the EU version pales in comparison. Can anyone recommend what site you would buy from?

    *EDIT*

    Woops, didn't realise Amazon.com ship to Europe.

    I haven't used it in years, but videogamesplus.ca used to be the business

    Yes they are good. I've used them in the past but they didn't have the item was looking for.

    With a game that has such a reliance on content from the PSN and the LBP servers, I'm not sure how an American LBP2 game would work over here. That may be something to be aware of.

    It should work fine, just set up a US account on your PSN if there's any problems.

    Videogamesplus.ca is the site I use the most. Amazon.com can be funny about shipping games iirc, make sure they definitely will ship.

    I bought the first LBP from Canada and it plays perfectly online. Any of the DLC has to be gotten from a north american PSN store though.

    I've pre-ordered it on Amazon.com. It worked out to about €90 including shipping. Certainly the most I've ever spent on a game but the package looks excellent and the game should be great too.

    I have a US PSN account already so that is sorted out.

    Axelmusic can be worth a look too
    Has been a while since I've bought from them, but iirc shipping is free (on DVD size packages at least)
