(I've decided to rip this thread of the pre-ordering/importing thread and create a new thread just for this issue.)
This thread is for us impatient European and Australian players who wish to:
• Play the game as soon as possible.
• Not be left behind by the advantaged North American players and their earlier release date.
I've read quite a few proclaimations from European and Australian fans that they shall be importing the game from America to save time (and generally money), and figured that we could all do with a place to discuss the matter.
------------
To open up the topic (and because with 12 days to go I'm starting to panic myself), I'll list the options I've found and the problems within:
• Play-Asia - Has every permutation of JP/US and PC/PS2 except US PC. Great delivery speed, accepts lots of payment methods and ubercheap shipping, though.
• GameStop - The game itself is cheap in comparison and comes with the OST free. However they accept very few payment methods (not even PayPal!) and their shipping costs are nothing short of extortionate. In addition they require you to fax them your latest card statement, and claim there may/will be unmentioned tolls, taxes and/or tariffs to bother with after you order it.
• EBGames - Exactly the same site as GameStop, really. I don't mean that the two share similar points, I mean that the two pretty much are the same site, with different logos.
• Toys R Us - Don't sell PC Games that I can see. In addition, I can't see their international shipping abilities. It's possible they don't actually ship outside of America.
• Amazon.com - Doesn't ship Phantasy Star Universe outside of America. Not an option.
