Just wondering, does anyone know a website where I could order PS2/DS/Gamecube games here besides Amazon and Play.com? The latter doesn't support a great deal of European countries, and I'm pretty sure both have banned Romania (quite possibly the worst place to live in the world) for some reason. :p I've been trying to get a copy of Disgaea 2 and possibly Worms 4, mostly.

I see they have Disgaea 2 in stock, which is definitely a good thing. No Worms 4 though...
Does that support other european countries besides the UK? The co.uk at the end of the ligh is slightly off-putting. Slightly. :p

No idea. I do know however that www.gameplay.co.uk, another fantastic site for games, does.

For Worms4, you could always try https://secure.team17.com

Funnily enough, W4M is not available in the T17 store.

That's strange :confused: I wonder why?

ROFL! Maybe the price has to go down first :p

Hmm.
I was just browsing through all the sections and didn't find it.
All the other old Worms games are available, bundled in a plethora packages named after military ranks.
Seems like Cap'n Spadge didn't have enough with his "Worm Floaters". :)

BTW, I bought a retail, budget version of W4M for €9.90 about a year after release.

Yes it does! I've seen shops in Ireland and Spain, and I haven't been anywhere else.

Bumpity. I tried registering all the websites recommended here, but being a terrible third-world country nobody gives a damn for, Romania isn't supported by either of them.

Any help, or should I just give up? :p

An hero. The only solution.

That, or eBay. eBay has everything.

Unless they've banned you, too. ;<

You could try getting someone to buy things in a proper country (:p) and then send them on to you. Postage costs'd go up, but if you did a bundle of things you could ship them all together.

They didn't, but I can't be arsed.

PARANOID!
But the American version doesn't.

But the American version doesn't.Not paranoid, just ****ed off. I like to emulate my discs, not insert them every time I play (and freeze the system for 30 odd seconds) thank you very much.

I ain't going to go as far as to import a US copy though.

Apparently your computer is defective. Fix that before worrying about changing CDs around.

I exaggerate slightly, but whilst StarForce was scanning the disc, everything runs too slowly to do anything else. Even whilst something like UT2004 loads, I can still browse the web and navigate explorer.

Nothing else, not even other CD checks slow my computer down that much, except a crash.
