Can you buy PSP games on USA sites and ship them over?

[Lizzy Lemon]

We bought a couple of PSP games while we were on holiday, heck of a lot cheaper than here! Is there anywhere we can buy them on-line and ship them over from USA? Tried looking on Amazon but it came up that they couldn't be shipped over.

Wendy, I thought PSP games were region specific - like DVDs - so not compatible with UK PSP players..? Is your PSP from the US too? Or am I just going nuts???

Sorry to tell you this sweetheart, but you are going nuts!!!! They are compatible. The PSP's were bought in the UK for the boys birthdays in May and they had been saving their pocket money up to splash out at Virgin in DTD but there wasn't a great deal of choice so they came away a bit disappointed with a couple of games between them. Looked up Simpson movie game which Glen bought on Saturday in town for £39.99 - Amazon were selling it for $39.99! Blooming annoying.

You're not wrong! My DS informs me I was getting confused with PS2!

You may get hit with VAT and import duty on the games!

Some software can't be exported, I have found this to be the case on some products I have looked at getting.

I imagine you can buy some titles from the likes of Play etc no problem.

Tim's right........ my son bought a Putter from the US a couple of months ago, which cost around £100, and had a VAT and customs bill of £20 added to it.

try dvdboxoffice.com for buying import psp games
(or if you have no morals like me, just download them !)

I've bought things from US online shops before and had them shipped UPS. They pay the import duty, then charge that back to you, AND charge you again for doing it. It has to be a real saving before it's worth it.
