Where to buy online?

I live outside the U.S and unfortunately The Show doesn't get released where I live. I am looking for somewhere to buy online.

Has anyone bought games from Video Games Plus Online? I have not ever heard of them and wanted to know if people have used them before.

Cheers
Scott

I live in Spain and I buy all my imported games from videogamesplus. I have been doing it since MLB the show 07 and never had any issue with them, fast service and nice prices for us Europeans with the cheap dollar.

I think most of Europeans buy it from that online shop, you can trust them without any doubt.

They label it as gift so you don't have to pay any import taxes, just the game + shipping.

that dont work anymore here in brazil...
Every single express shipped game/DVD/CD ship by a store(not a person) is charged with import taxes as an automatic procedure made by Fedex, DHL, UPS or USPS unfortnatly...
in the end the game would end up costing me about 220 dolars
U$60 - game
U$69 - Shipping
U$129 dolars + US90 (70% import taxes over total price) = U$219

One dolar is 2.3 of our money(Brazilian Real) , so it would be like an american paying 506 dolars for a game...imo thats completly absurd.

Thanks guys, they seem to be good then.

I will have to look into the taxes though. I bought last years game from Playasia and had no taxes so I would think it would be the same. I live in Australia and it is a fair bit cheaper to buy from the Canadian dollar
