Technically, it CAN BE illegal. As the distributing party, YOU would be responsible for paying any and all taxes applicable to performing business transactions in the receiving nation.

Is it LIKELY that you'll be arrested and prosecuted for it? Probably not.

Not true. You can play a game from any region on any PS3. It's just that you have to be careful with DLC, because that's region locked based on the games region. Don't know about the Xbox though.

So why manufacturers made NTSC,NTSCJ,PAL dvd's ?

Can't you guys just buy the copies off amazon or ebay or something? There should be plenty of sites if you take the time to google that can do what your asking. Sorry but it's to funny but why would you think it could be illegal? Its a video game not drugs or weapons.

you can buy off amazon.com and they will add the tax needed to export it out wount they?

I wouldn't know I don't order anything over sea's plus my state doesn't have sales tax.

Edit: I did buys a few things from china off ebay a few years ago and never paid any sort of taxes. They were some special computer hardware

I have ordered games from the US a couple of times and their is NO extra taxes, you MAYBE (for some webstores) have to pay a few extra bucks for shippment but that's it.

There's plenty of US mail redirection services around. Just need to google it.

Gamestop will not shop to a mail redirection service for a non-US Credit card. Looks like they will ship overseas though, but it means I'm going to have to wait a week or two before I can get in game. :/ *NOT* impressed that we can't even *confirm a release date or price details* in NZ or Australia for a game that is supposed to be available in just over a month. Plus, looks like we are not getting any sort of collectors edition. Not a bean of one. Have to go overseas to get something. O.o Would be nice if we could be give a weeks grace period to access the server while our physical copies arrive, but somehow I doubt that will occur.

Mighty Ape has it listed now. Release date April 4, their price around $100, or $90 for PC (NZD). Link. So it is coming, but probably no collectors edition. It's pretty shocking publicity really.

Glad to see the game is going to be able to reach a wide audience.

[Taxidermist]

It is region locked to the server you pick.

mmm .. I'm glad with that =] can pre-order now ^^
