I imported Pokemon pearl. Nothing wrong with that? Other than the fact I ordered the 25th April and the payment processed 17th May. Still sounds fine, but not for long. I calculated at the time it was £30.19 in cost, with the exchange rate I checked up.. but now, my online statement shows a £31.33 payment. A delayed payment, resulted in an even bigger cost.

I'd normaly not be annoyed by this.. but I'm a klutz with money at times, and I've lost too much lately. Bah. I'm sticking to buying in shops with cash again. Cheaper and less annoyances.

For reference.. I find as much as I lose on the floor.. which is a lot.

It was the cheapest that would actualy import into europe. It's still irritating even though it was at least £10 cheaper than some sites. >>

I just wait for the damn European release.

Even if I have to wait a half year sometimes. :/ It can be noted that this is usually only a problem with console/handheld games... PC games are usually released within the same week, if not day.

They´ll be released around July here, Ailure.

But the site that I´ll order from hasn´t got FFVI Advance in yet so I´ll have to wait for the release here.

That should be common sense enough.

I know, but I figured that with my current buffer of games I probably won't get bored until next semester starts. So I kind have no "must get game now" rush.
