UK people look here please

[Fleece]

Hey, I'm from lancashire im just wondering what counties/cities you UK folk are all from and if your importing from america instead of waiting for an EU release, just wondering so that maybe we could all meet up in game and swap cards etc,etc.

[MoonSblaise]

Nyah! Hertfordshire ^____^, no way can i bother waiting for the EU version

[drakkula]

Edinburgh here, I'm going for the American Version....do u guys know if we are gonna be able to connect to the american servers and if we will be able to use our credit cards from here???
Thanks

[Fleece]

Well i had the american FF11 and I had to input a US/CA address for registration but it accepted my credit card and UK address for payment. According to Square Enix i Live at the Toronto Maple Leaves Ice Arena LOL.

Dont know about PSU though, probably same kind of system.

[Tekershee]

Nottingham, importing!

[Pob]

Bedfordshire - I'm waiting for the EU version because there are 2 players in my house and we already have 2 UK PS2s on the network (we played Monster Hunter).

Are you talking about the PC version? I don't know how easy it is to setup a US PS2 online in the UK. For a UK PS2, you have to register with Sony and they post a registration key to you - post as in 'send a piece of paper', not online. Might be awkward with a US PS2.

[Fleece]

Well if your ps2's are on the network you should be able to get a UK version Of swap magic and play the american version of PS2 without modding your machine, my friend is doing that atm with his PS2 and a copy of PSU Jap.

[MoonSblaise]

Hmmm gotta be more than just us... http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif but weee, Lanc, ed, beddy, herty http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Aberdeen,

Going to get the US version eventually, but starting out on the Japanese PC version.

[MoonSblaise]

Mmm if only i had a mild understanding of japanese

[ShadowNeo]

I have absolutely zero knowledge whatsoever.

But a good friend of mine is doing it too, and I have the cash to justify it, so it'll be a good laugh and we'll still have some fun.

[MoonSblaise]

Mmmm fair enough http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif, jus my friends will prolly go for the US too, and i think playing the japanese wouldn't match up to the excitement of a version i understand, but when i got the US i'd know everything and i reckon it would ruin the experience of the game ^__^ but hats off to ya and gl with it http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Kou-Diacyper]

Yorkshire GO!

[ShadowNeo]

GET!

[Fleece]

Well theres 4 of us in lancashire getting it that i know and one canadian girl LOL.

[MoonSblaise]

lol cooly, ^_^. Hmmm a canadian GIRL >_> Looking at the gender poll topic the females will be severely outnumbered by male players.

[Fleece]

my gf is getting it aswell....

She says "Should be fun Kekekeke ^-^"

[MoonSblaise]

Mmm shame i couldn't convince mine to get it, she's waiting up for KH2 and FFXII and FFVII DoC etc.

[SeraphZero]

I'm importing the JP and US versions of the game... hopefully the US server will be my home if the card details work out ... fingers crossed, eh?

Oh, and hertforshire here... both uni and home. And i'm roping one of my housemates into the game, as well as my brother. So more UK players for the cause.

Shall be fun! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

**remember to use either "JP" or "Japanese" instead http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif **

[EGO-BOT]

South London and I'm thinking of importing the American version for the PC

[ulyoth]

St Helens Merseyside, im importing the JP version and the US.

[Fleece]

I Heard St Helens Glass, Has the class.

Stupid ass radio ads.

[mechatra]

1 more to the ranks.

From Reading - Berkshire.
Importing both the JP and possibly the US version.

[PadTheMad]

I'm in Lancashire too, but I'm still up in arms over what version to get, let alone whether or not I'm going to import :S

Athough at the mo, the PC US version looks most likely. Otherwise it's the UK 360 version (boo)

[ShardInABox]

London here!

Importing the JP version as I can't wait. Will prolly get an English copy down the line though

Hmm yes, we all know that one...

[parabolee]

Well I probably don't count because although I'm from Sheffield, England I actually live in New Jersey, USA.

But if I can help any fellow Brits out importing I'll be glad to. Hell $60 is only about 30 quid right now so it's not even expensive to import the US version! That's what I would do if I still lived in the UK.

[PadTheMad]

You might have just sold it to me there then!

[Sabreman]

Nottingham, importing.

As far as FFXI is concerned I live at the public library in Chicago http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Fleece]

Nah to american Importing, Canadian Importing is the win. two and a half canadian dollars to the pound.

http://www.dvdboxoffice.com

It has free worldwide delivery as well but ill probably use play asia if they ship the US PC version.

PadTheMad whats your msn messenger or yahoo messenger address? Im from Accrington/blackburn Lol.

[parabolee]

Yeah but isn't Canadian dollars woth about $2 Canadian to $1.30 US? I notice Canadians pay more in dollars than the US cover prices of magazines and things. Prettyu sure Canadian prices will work out slightly more when converted to pounds.

PSU on PS2 = $49.99 US = about 25 quid (the pound sign is not on US keyboards and the fools call the hash symbol (#) pound!).

[Fleece]

you get 2 american dollars to the pound

you get 2.5 canadian dollars to the pound

[parabolee]

Yes but a Canadian dollar is worth less that's why. For instace magazines that are $8.99 US are $13.99 canadian. So just because you get more Canadian dollars doesn't mean it's cheaper.

for instance the US version is pobably $49.99 (which you can usually find for $44.99) but migt even be $39.99. If you check the gamestop site you will see that a lot of PS2 games come out at $39.99 in the US and from the link you gave the canadian version is $61.95. So I think the US version works out slightly less. but either way buying from Canada dosn't work out much better at all.

Don't get me wrong though Canada is way better than America in most ways http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Fleece]

Yeah but that canadian site has free shipping to anywhere in the world. so still cheaper http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Neith]

Middlesbrough *is shot*

I'll be likely importing the US release, unless it's stated that the UK will get a release around the same time, in which case I'll just wait for the UK release.

[Ashimayu]

Hertfordshire here. Gonna Be playing the US Version.

I hate playing EU Versions of MMORPG's most of them suck alot. I also lack the patience to wait for it lol


And i'm roping one of my housemates into the game, as well as my brother. So more UK players for the cause.

Yep SeraphZero's my Bro. Gonna be bringing in some more people from College and old MMO friends to play aswell.

When the time comes and anyone from UK needs a party give me a buzz - add my msn

[Ryudo]

You people fail at maths, the canadian dollar is worth less, so things work out cheaper if you buy it from canada

http://www.xe.com

$62.95 CAD = £29.9063 GBP

I live in ireland and I'm importing it from dvdboxoffice too :3

[parabolee]

No you fail at math dude! LOL

The Canadian dollar is worth less as you say so you get less for it (thats why the game costs more at $62 rather than 49.99). So as the US dollar is worth $2 to £1 then the US version is -

$49.99 = £25 GBP

Or to use your own link (which by the way isn't using math it's using a calculator!) -

50.00 USD = 26.2653 GBP

So the US version works out cheaper! But with the free shipping it may work out about the same.

[Shcotty]

I'm from Staffordshire, thinking of importing the US version, but if the US and EU players are seperated i'll just wait for the EU version.

[Fleece]

They probably wont be seperate though.

[parabolee]

Yeah it would be crazy to seperate the UK from the US. Although they did that with the Xbox version of PSO.

[Kazzi]

Im from Birmingham but i plan on importing the US version aswell =/ the last time i played on the EU servers i was bombarded with french people which i didnt understand a word of http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

Edit: I just imported the Japanese version D: i probebly wont play it online but it gives me the chance to abuse the offline mode so i can get online straight away with the US version ^.^

[zaff100]

Rotherham, UK here (near Sheffield)
Im importing US copy.
Using Swap Magic and a Fliptop PS2 Case.

Why not just play it on my PC I hear you whisper to yourselves.... Mainly because I played PSO DC and PSO GC on console, I just this PSO is and always will be a console game... waking up early on a Sunday morning after a big drink on Saturday night to play PSO ahhh those were the days.

[Fleece]

LOL yeah i used to do that with a hangover but id got to the point on PSO on DC and GC and then on PC that i managed to do the Mine part of TTF blindfolded. I was playing with a gay couple LOL they were talking dirty to each other so i decided to close my eyes and just play LOL. You'll be amazed what you can do when you HAVE to.

No offense to homosexual people but i really DIDNT want to know about the stuff they were saying.
