Is it possible to buy from Sega Direct internationally? basically, could sega direct post it to an address outside of japan. i would expect there to be a reasonable postage charge if they could.
thanks for any info

As far as I know: No
It must be delivered to a JPN adress.

You can buy items from Sega Direct only if you live in Japan, infact SEGA send at your japanese address with EMS service.

I used to get my stuff through an importer here in the UK. No they wont ship internationaly, but Yes it is possible to get stuff through certain importers.

...Or you could just be really sneaky and have a friend of yours who lives in Japan order it for you, then SHip it over here.
HEY! it works.

I dont know where you can get the Trilogy, but http://www.japanvideogames.com has PSO EpI&II Plus and EpIII on pre-order.

Another site to check is http://www.play-asia.com

Whatever you do, DO NOT order from http://www.buyritegames.com They will rip you off, like they did me with PSO EpI&II JP.

O_O japanvideogames.com already taking pre-orders?!
Woohoo cool.

And I didn't mean to be harsh Zaneatron http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif
But as you see from the other posters it is the truth.
Getting an importer which gets it from Sega Direct might be hard to find. I don't know any which do. I know Sega Direct delivered some people last year their Ep1&2 pre-order two days(or even a bit earlier then that) before the official JPN release.
But japanvideogames.com have a very fast delivery from my experience. And note they are located in the USA and I am in Europe, but still got my stuff within 2-3 days. One time I got it the week after because they were out of stock (V1.1).
So I quess that shop is your best bet.
I know I am ordering my Trilogy box there http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Edit:
*Doesn't see the Trlogy Box on japanvideogames.com* http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif
Oh well they will probably get it soon enough http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I highly recommend Japan Video Games. I ordered PSO EpI&II Ver 1.1 from them and it shipped right on the next Buisness Day (Mon) and I got it in 2 days =D

I've always used NCSX, (www.ncsx.org) and they've never given me a problem. Although I'm going to be getting Episode 3 from Play-Asia since I got the trial from them. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

so nobody's seen the trilogy for sale anywhere then?
i do really want it, but play asia seems good for its shipping prices and they also have pounds on there as well for us brits wanting to import http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Well for Sega Dirct stuff you either have a friend in japan or don't care much about overpaying.
Some import shops sell Sega Direct stuff but with a more expensive price. Like

Zaneatron
Oct 26, 2003, 03:35 AM
well ive got my friend on the hunt for it on things like ebay, and other online markets.
also play-asia also have the hori memory card. im not sure if lik-sang do, but when i last looked, i dont think they had it. i may be wrong though http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_confused.gif

Is only a preorder noone have memory card now sure other shop will sell it when they have it because like ncsx and liksnag usually sell hori memory final fantasy ecc...
Nothing special on this memory

Zaneatron
Oct 26, 2003, 06:11 AM
a) when i said have, i meant they have it on pre order. obviously no one has it available yet.
b) i know there in nothing immensley special on the card, but the fact is i need a new one. and at 15 pounds for a 251,with some extra stuff on it, you cant really go wrong.

no offence to you STE, but you havent quite mastered the english language yet. in an unfortunate kind of way, i come from a part of london called croydon. lets say the english language isnt exactly used properly there. so i may say things that make sense to me but may seem wrong to you. i feel my statement was correct but the grammer was a bit off, and could have been phrased differently.
sorry about the confusion.

no is ok

np

I only think this memory has nothing special Hori made a memory for a lot of games if was made by Sega was better.

Zaneatron

it has 5 special cards already programmed into the memory. i beleve you cant get them from normal play. i reguard this as special. but like i said i need a new memory card anyway. i have no space or very little to use as it is.
