import from UK to US R&C:QFB

CAGiversary!
I posted this over in the advice forum, and was recommended to ask here:

I'm trying to find an online retailer to import Ratchet&Clank: Quest for Booty to the US, but the only one I've found that might work is gameseek.co.uk, and I don't know if they'll ship to the US or if they are reliable? The other ones I've checked out so far that wont work are:

Play.com (wont ship)
Amazon.co.uk (wont ship)
hmv.com (no listing)
dvd.co.uk (OOS)
game.co.uk (OOS)
gamestation.co.uk (no listing)
gameplay.co.uk (OOS)
Zavvi.com (OOS)
thehut.com (OOS)
shopto.net (OOS)

I could get it from amazon.com but the price would be twice as much as either of the other two PS3 R&C games, and this one is more of a 'bonus game' that just ties them together. Any ideas?

I am also curious about this, if I were to import a game from the UK would I be able to play it on my US 360? It's the limited edition of Metro 2033.
 
Is it really worth importing? I like the game myself but from what I know it's only around €15 (so maybe $20?) via PSN, and import costs with the disk version plus the time you'll have to wait for it doesn't really seem like it'd be worth it to me. :/

I'm one of those rare (these days) gamers who likes having actual discs/carts for everything, so PSN is a no go.

Guess ebay it is.
 
[quote name='ultrapimp']whats a good site to import games to us ? im trying to get prince of persia trilogy =([/QUOTE]

I just got copies of both Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty and the Prince of Persia Trilogy shipped to my house in the US from DVD.co.UK. It took about a month for the games to show up, but they arrived in perfect shape and work on my US PS3 with no problems.

Prince of Persia was about $36ish:

Ratchet & Clank was $20-something:

How much was shipping? I've also been looking to pick up Quest for Booty, as well as a few DS games.

They charged me for/shipped each game separately but it looks like I paid the following amounts:

Prince of Persia Trilogy = $35.84 shipped

Ratchet & Clank: Quest For Booty = $16.79

Jam With the Band (for DS) = $9.91

Not bad at all! :D
