Basically this site is only good for playing games not released over here, nothing more. Also you need a chinese console usually to play the games. =/

They include different regions on the site, like if you were going to buy the game I posted above in english on a Asian console its over 40$ and the Japanese Version is 70$.

you typically dont buy american games from an import site.

you have to understand that, the us is not the target market for the us releases they carry. if you lived in japan, buying a us release on the other hand is a great deal.

their video game economy is much different than our market. we have standard prices (and usually much lower) than they have. a standard jp release runs about 80$

if you're buying from that site you should be looking at asian and jp releases, not usa and pal versions.

the site is for buying import games. (their prices are usually the best on the internet)

okay look at it this way, homefront asian version started retailing at 44.90

about 15.00 less than the us version.

you picked a bad example with third birthday. typically asian releases are cheaper than US versions. and most are region free. you dont need to own a foreign console.

No, but the majority of the game I play don't require you to do so.

I import fighting games and shmups. However in the event there is something I really want to play, I can usually find a translation FAQ/walkthrough.
