i wanna buy from yesasia / playasia

With the dollar so weak against the pound at the moment, I've considered buying from both companies. For instance Call Of Duty is £32.50, seems a good price.
Will I have problems as they say japan. Assuming therefore they will be in Japanese, will there be a language option?
I've never bought from either company so would appreciate some views
thanks and happy new year

The wii games will not play as they have to be the pal versions, whereas these are not. The pal versions are available across Europe, so I don't know if you would get them any cheaper from e.g. Germany or France.
I looked at playasia and was thinking of ordering some ds games from them though. As the ds is region free you can buy games from here (not the japanese ones as obviously they will be in japanese, but the american ones are fine, I have bought some from ebay before). There is a section you can click on for the european, or usa ds games. They have some games on there that aren't available in the Uk, I saw the new final fantasy that isn't out until March!!!
Be careful though, I have heard that people have been charged when ordering from abroad. I have ordered from Hong Kong, China and U.S.A and have never been charged though.
I hope this helps.

Sorry I assumed before you wanted it for the wii, which is why I babbled on about the wii, if you were wondering!!!
The same does apply for xbox and playstation games though, they have to be pal, which is the european category.
I use ebay for ds games on the whole, you can get some bargains if you are looking for older games. Some of the ps2, wii games and xbox games are cheap as well, mainly the second hand ones. You have to be careful though as some games on ebay are more expensive than through other online shops. I tend to buy from play, amazon and blah on the whole but have used others, depending on where the product is the cheapest.
If I am buying games or dvds I always use a price comparison site first which checks the cheapest price for you. The games one is find-games, for dvds it is find-dvds (I would provide a link but I don't know how to), you just type in what you are looking for and it shows you the cheapest, it can save you loads.:rotfl:
