So... I don't really play a lot on our XBOX 360... The last time I enjoyed having a console was when I got my Sega Megadrive... Didn't like the PSONE, or the PS2... Don't even know where those are now...
But, next week or so there is a new game coming up for both 360 and PS3.. but no PC.. Ever since I heard about Brutal Legend I've wanted to play it... Its from the guy that made Monkey Island btw.
Ozzy is in the game, Lemmy is in the game, even Halford. But suprise surprise its going to have spanish voices if i want to buy it here. This CAN NOT BE.
So what im asking if any of you know a website or something where i coudld buy the game for a reasonable price. I guess it also needs to be PAL compatible and all that.
Thanks, Bye.

well prices go from 50€ to 40€. Here they cost 60, sometimes 70€. However this prices are without shipping so if they end up being 10€ more its kinda like getting it here. Ill wait until the game is released and see if they ahve definitive prices.
Thanks

ok here's the problem:
I've decided to buy it on amazon.co.uk and of course all prices are in £ The game costs £37.96 (plsu shipping im guessing) and google says thats 40.35€
Even with shipping i find hard to velieve it's going to reach the 70€ it could cost me here. But here's the thing... when i go to my account options on amazon there's to choose my language... and there is Spanish and the Spanish flag along with other countries from Latin America. The prices are all in Dollars (because its basically amazon.com), and the game costs $56.99 there (38.43€) But if the game comse from USA, then where should i order it from, from .co.uk or the one witht he Spanish Flag amazon.com...
Also if its from USA it means its not PAL? why it sende me there then ;D I'm a bit confused.

It's 10€ more but I'm guessing without the shipping it would end up the same.. I'll check the payment methods and stuff later. Thanks.

Amazon.co.uk is nice but be very careful buying from them. Games etc is not selling by amazon themselves. There are other sellers who are also selling their stuffs on there. For example. If you see any DVD there is option gaming NEW USED etc. If you click them you see sellers list where you other sellers selling same item. I have really bad experience from those sellers.
I baught Deathadder from some seller coz it was £6 cheaper than Amazon selling. I got next day I opened it and found Lachesis instade of Deathadder £10 more expensive mouse lol. But I already have that mouse so it was kinda useless to keep it. Contacting him with email was with little trouble but he did reply. He said send it back will send you right one with my postage. Took me a week to get Deathadder and he didnt give my postage.
2nd one was recently happened. I baught £3 Nokia headset from seller (Hs47) for Nokia 6300 he sent some other Headset (Hs50). Which is not compatible for my cell phone. Amazon themselves selling was £7. After contacting 2 days later he sent me email saying he hasnt got that headset in stock and he will refund my money back. But sending him will cost me £1.50 -2 which will be useless for £3 headset. Sure he will not return my postage. Finally baught from market cost me £10 lol.
Just telling you be carefuly buying from Amazon.co.uk But from Amazon not other sellers.

I usually buy either in Spanish websites I already trust or Steam, this is my first time buying outside Spain.
What I did with Spanish websites was make first purchase with pay at doorstep method, dont know eng word for it. After that they are safe, also Rapidshare... Paypal is usually the best way for me etc.

also
not sure in Spain , but in UK if we buy something outside of UK from a business we sometimes get hit with import tax
however if its from a private address ( say a friend who lives abroad ) then it is looked upon as a gift and we can get around the tax.
there is a Spain web site that sells cheap tobacco to countrys outside of Spain however they state if your order gets intercepted at customs in the UK then it wil be confiscated etc ,
but if you like maybe i can purchase it and send it via mail to an address of your choice in spain , that way pay vai paypal etc ? ( although not sure of parcel cost to Spain ? ) have to look into it to see if its an option

Soooo how long does it take? They posted it last thursday and sent me an email saying wait 3 to 5 work days. They haven't changed any money yet but it's getting kinda annoying to wait and wait and wait

At the moment there is postal strike. Royal mail is on strike from last week. We also havent got any junk mails from 2 days. According to radio/news there will be piles of unsorted stuff will be in sorting office and they said they might get lost or damage. So we havent ordered anything tho Christmas is coming near.

UK postal strike doesn't effect island or spain. Oversea shipping can't go at schedule unless if it's marked under government category...it simply depends of to much factors...they may send it the very next day you order it but it got stuck in "receiving and sending" area etc....

yep the Royal Mail are at in again ! luckily amazon is using alternate methods/couriers ( although make sure someone is around to take charge of delivery otherwise a card is posted and trip to depot is required to collect whatever has been ordered ( sometimes these collections are a long way esp the likes of "City Link" couriers. i ordered a new DVD player what interested me most was the ability to use memory sticks ( usb ) saves need to keep burning CD'S/DVD disks www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0013EDUFE/ref=ox_ya_oh_productalthough it will not recognise all makes of USB memory sticks/pen drive and stand alone hard drives, be interested to hear of other similar dvd players
