once you select ireland as destination, they choose USPS Global priority shipping for you. Its really fast, they automatically mark things as gifts and low value also.

Suicide is the only option

In other news; NCS rock...
Just checked my track'n'trace with USPS:

Current Status

You entered XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Your item left the United States from KENNEDY AMC at 10:49 pm on April 04, 2005. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later.

So typically enough it arrived in Europe on Tuesday morning and promptly dropped off the radar. If it hasn't arrived at the house by friday I'll assume customs or An Post have gotten their paws on it

Yeah my trackntrace says the exact same as you hopefully we get them before the weekend

Hmm...I've just recalled that An Post do the "last mile" of this delivery (so used to dealing with couriers). I'll reset my expectation date to Tuesday to avoid disappointement...

Haha...going by your logic I should have it in the morning. Sound in theory, but I'll believe it when I see it

So most of you ordered from NCSX then? Their price seems to be going up and up. I've looked loads of places - dvdboxoffice, videogamesplus, liksang, play-asia, dvdsoon, aheadgames, and of course NCSX. Most are really expensive, and the ones that have them at a "not such a ripoff" price are, typically, out of stock.

Where's the best to buy from? I want a US one, and somewhere that it's in stock... is it worth paying €40 extra or should I just wait a few weeks and get it cheaper?

Ciaran500

Why you want a US one?

What price are looking for?

Well, I'd like to get the Spiderman 2 UMD, plus there's no advantage to getting a Japanese one. NCSX have confirmed that European UMD discs won't work on the Jap PSP, and it's more expensive anyway.

DVD Box Office have it for €225 with free courier delivery. I know that's hard to beat, but I'm willing to pay more for a site that has it in stock (though it'll cost €263 from NCSX). I'm looking for Wipeout Pure too.

Ciaran500

How could NCSX know what the Euro UMD will be like?

Stay away from DVDBO. Nothing but empty promises from them.

Don't I know! Ordered a DVD from them before, on back order for 3 months, the cancelled it. Ordered Pokémon Ruby before. I was waiting a month, then, conveniently, when I went to cancel, they told me it had just been sent.

But I bought Super Mario 64 DS off them at Christmas, and they were very fast with it. That restored my confidence in them, but now...

Frequently Asked Questions
3. Will a Japanese PSP play European UMDs?
No. You may be thinking about how Japan and Europe share the same DVD region code (2) but this does not necessarily mean that PSP UMDs from Europe will play on Japanese PSPs.

What sites are there that have the PSP in stock, and accept Paypal? Because I have some money in there going nowhere fast.

Your item cleared customs in IRELAND at 4:18 pm on April 07, 2005. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later.

Praying i get it tomorrow but i doubt it

"this does not necessarily mean that PSP UMDs from Europe will play on Japanese PSPs"

Its still very possible that they will. We will have to wait till EU launch till we know.

hmm... glanced over the "necessarily" there...

But, a guy I know ordered a Jap PSP from them, and accidentally got a US one instead. Then they sent him this e-mail...

Hi David, please note that the sharing and compatibility of regions between Japan and Europe for PSP UMD movies is a misconception. To clarify, European UMD-Videos will be region coded only for use with European PSP units and you will not be able to view European UMD-Videos on Japanese PSP units.

The PSP movie incompatibility between Europe and Japan has been
confirmed by our contacts in both Sony USA as well as Sony of Japan.

Although the DVD region-2 is used in both Europe and Japan, Japanese
movie DVDs are not cross compatible in Europe

Regards,
NCS, Inc

Anyway, please... any other sites?

They take PayPal, have stock (Japanese and US software) but I think only Japanese hardware and UMD movies (and Audio UMDs).

That looks pretty good alright...

Anyone know anything about Ahead Games? They have it for $290, and accept Paypal. I think I might go for them.

Ditto.
Haven't even opened it yet....had to go to sorting office to pick up.
BTW any power lead from a stereo or the ones that fit the back of the old PS2 will work with the power supply...no need to get that stupid 2pin->3pin thing.

Bye bye now, I may be gone for sometime...

Did ye have to pay any import duty and did you get the us or jap model, would that matter when customs check it.

Davexirl

No I didn't pay any customs fee i got mine from America. They lowered the prices of everything I bought off them on the delivery box and thats why I didn't get charged. I would recommend these http://www.ncsxshop.com/cgi-bin/shop I ordered off them last Sunday and i Got it yesterday and I love it. Lumines it feckin addictive. The screen is brilliant quality.

It took about a week and a half for RR to arrive from Lik-Sang. On the other hand, I haven't seen sight nor sound of Lumines which I ordered from Canada almost 2 weeks ago now. Ihad a .co.uk website, so thought it was from the UK. :mad: And i don't expect to see it this week

Almost feel like buying the game somewhere else, probably would be quicker!
