When you're collecting a full EU set it is :P

Man been messing with Klonoa 2. That's a series I'd love to see ressurected on Vita. However I think the industry is too far gone to be able to support decent games like that anymore :(

There's a Wii remake of Klonoa that would look really great on Vita. That game really underperformed on Wii so I think we won't see more Klonoa in future. 


It does look sweet on Wii. A port would be cool, but I doubt Sony would care if they already have the PSX classic  



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

Guys, I want to import Danganronpa and Mind=0 from www.videogamesplus.ca as both games combined will cost 5 Euro more than an imported copy of Mind=0 alone, when bought from an importer in Poland ;) Also the imported copies already count as sold for the publishers, so my purchase will add one extra copy sold :D

Questions - how much does it cost to ship to EU? What are the risks of paying custom duties? The games cost $80 in total.


I think shipping in this case would be 7,49C$ for the cheapest option.

As far as I am aware, videogamesplus mark down the value for the customs declaration (best would be to ask them when you order, or ask beforehand if they do, since it's been a long time since I ordered there), so there's a good chance that you don't have to pay, but at least in Germany they sometimes will hold back packages even if they are correctly declared, and in that case you'd have to proove the item's value with some sort of reciept (bank account statement, payment invoice), which would mean that you'd have to pay whatever your country wants for items with a value of 87,47C$ (or maybe only 79,98C$, depending on wether your country charges customs/import tax on the price of the products only and not the price thats printed on the invoice).

In Germany, this would mean that you'd have to pay 19% (import tax) of the current € equivalent of 87,47C$, since this would amount to over 23€ but would be under 150€, meaning you only have to pay import tax, not customs (which would add another 19%). Again, this is only for Germany, and I sadly don't know how it works in other countries.

Also, if VGP indeed mark down the value, there's a good possibility that they'll declare the item as a gift, which would mean that different rules are in place (in Germany, you'd only have to pay tax if the value is more than 40€ instead of 23€, for example). This would mean it could slip by easier.

But, again, some packages get caught up seemingly at random. I've had a Sega Saturn (declared as a gift, described as a video games console from Japan with a value of 0,01$) slip through, even though the declaration was ridiculously understated, but had a game caught up that I had payed 13,99$ for (and that was declared as such). You really never know.

If I were you, I'd be prepared to pay. Look up what you'd have to pay if they charge you tax/customs for the full price (incl. shipping) and if you are willing to pay that for the games, buy them. Doing this, you won't be blindsided by unexpected customs charges and you'll be happy if, by chance, the package slips through.

As an encouragement: out of dozens of packages I got from outside the EU, I only had to visit the customs office 3 or 4 times.

The Wii ver of the original looked like it used the game engine from Klonoa 2, but because they had more resources on the Wii hardware-wise, they were able to implement the full cel shaded effect etc :D I know they're pretty easy, but they're just nice chill out games.

Domflo already answered the question. Only one addition, VGP has a little trick, in which they first ship the game to Belgium, and then send it to you from there.

So there is no customs because the game is shipped to you from EU. I have ordered many times, and it is always like this.

So, order everything you want, there is no danger of customs. You will wait about 15 days, a few days more or less depending on your country's postal service.

Shipping is $7,49 per item. Those are the best prices. Even if you order PS4 games, it is still much cheaper than buying it in EU.

Wow, that's awesome!! If that's the case, I'm buying these games this week :) BTW. I've finished Borderlands 1 on PS3, need just one trophy to get the plat, so I caved and bought Borderlands 2 yesterday. Hope the gameplay is better than what I've read and that they keep on patching it.

A question regarding PS4 games - do EU DLC work with NA games, or is it like with Vita?

Thanks Domflo!

I doubt it works.. because not even on PS3 worked... PS4 like PS3 have multiaccounts, but still DLC for US games must bu bought on a US account, just set a US account and buy the DLC from there, at least is multiaccount, on Vita You can't do that.

Yeah, it's easy with an additional US-account.

I bought the US-Version of inFamous: Second Son and couldn't activate the included DLC-code with my German account. So I switched to my US-account, activated the code and the DLC missions are also available after that when playing with my normal German account.

I wished they would allow multi-accounts on Vita to push hardware sales.

Maybe it does encourage more hardware sales. It'd make some people consider a second console to save having to switch accounts :p
