    Games to buy when on holiday

    Hi all, my girlfriend is visiting New York next week and asked what I wanted her to bring back. So it got me thinking is there any ps3 games they didn't get released over here I should get her to pick up for me ?

      Demon's Souls, especially if she spots the special edition with the mini-guide.

      Way of the Samurai 3 is currently US only.

      Afrika, US only, unless you want the Asian Hakuna Matata version. US version has trophies though.

      3D Dot Heroes is out in May.

      Heavy Rain, if you want extra languages (UK version only has English).

      US PSN cards. They are like gold dust and can either be used, or sold on.

        Demon Souls and Afrika spring to mind.
        God of War Collection you can only get it in europe with GoW 3 £100 edition.
        US PSN Cards for US PS1 games/PSN offers.

        And of course me being slowpoke has me in last place

              Make that ?200+ GOW3 Collectors edition. Only ebay scalpers have it now to order from now.

              Nice thread, I'm going in August, think I'll grab myself Demon Souls and 3D Dot Heroes if they ain't seen a Europe release by then

                  Figured I'd post here rather than start a new topic.

                  Off to Tokyo next week.

                  I've got a small list of games I want to (try and) buy:

                  PS3
                  Winning Eleven: Aoki Samurai no Chousen
                  SUPER Street Fighter IV Collectors Edition
                  Ryu ga Gotoku 4
                  250G PS3 Lightning Edition

                  Xbox 360
                  ESP Galuda II
                  Mushihimesama Futari
                  Death Smiles IIX

                  All these 360 games are region free, is that right?

                  Wii
                  Zangeki no Reginleiv
                  Taiko no Tatsujin

                  PSP
                  Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep
                  Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
                  BlazBlue Portable

                  DS
                  Minna no Conbini

                  Anything else recent that I haven't listed. Or not-so-recent but are worth picking up?

                  Cheers.

                  EDIT: Any chance that the title of this thread could be changed to "Games to buy on holiday" so it can run for others that are heading to the US / Japan in the future?

                    Done.

                    Like you, I will be picking up Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (collector's edition) from the US when I am there next month.

                      Ah, if it's out in the US so soon I might wait.

                      Dood, like you said, we're gonna have to meet up - and then hit a Best Buy or something and spend the day shopping for games! Those and loads and loads of Blu-ray!! As you've probably guessed I'm packing light!!

                        Sounds like a plan!

                        The US release date for MGS: Peace Walker is June 8th, not too far away now.

                          Are XBL points region specific? I was looking at buying some duty free packs when I fly later this month. If not, I'll make sure I get them in the UK airport.

                            Ryu ga Gotoku 4
                            250G PS3 Lightning Edition
                            I picked up Ryu ga Gotoku 4 while in Akihabara last month, not started it yet though as I'm still playing through Yakuza 3.

                            A little tip is you might want to check the prices in a store called 'Book Off' while in Akihabara (its a big shop so you won't miss it). I'd bought Ryu ga Gotoku 4 for 6700 yen before getting there but they had it for 5900 yen and other games cheaper as well.

                            I wish MGS Peace Walker was out when I went as I would have got that as well!

                              Tokiwa Musen is always good for a bargain!

                              Managed, in previous years, to get some of the bit.Generation games for ?980 each. Along with Tatsunoko Vs Capcom for ?1980!!

                              Them's cheap.
