Europe is a PAL region, so it should work on your system if yours is PAL too.

Can you link me to the game?

Mass Effect 2 (Xbox 360): Amazon.co.uk: PC & Video Games

Also thinking of getting this:

Half-Life 2: The Orange Box (Xbox 360): Amazon.co.uk: PC & Video Games

Gents, if you're wanting to order from the UK then cdwow is quite good. It might take a while to get to you (still faster than amazon though) but they have good prices and great sale periods every once in a while.

EDIT: Also started playing AC2 yesterday and can't put it down. I laboured through the first on the strength of the story but the second one is quite an achievement of narrative interwoven seamlesly through the gameplay. Great game, about half way through now.

I also want to get The Orange Box, even though apparently it doesn't translate well to the PS3.

Heef, these two pom sites are pretty popular amongst Australians, not sure about NZ though:
365 Games online shop - The price you see is the price you pay
TheHut.com: online shop | Cheap DVDs, Blu-ray, Games | Free UK delivery

Nah, stay away from them. Check out whirlpool and ozbargain for so many horror stories these days. Heaps of people waiting 1+ month for games. play-asia are good though.

Cheers, Saggers. I see that 365games at least offers "free" delivery to NZ. Well worth a look. A bit annoyingly though, I have gained a GBP50 Amazon voucher to spend. I can rack up a 50 quid bill on DVDs, CDs and books though, so should be fine.

They've been okay for me, play-asia are reliable but their estimated dispatches are horrible. Personally would just buy from the store but for stuff we don't get here I have no problem waiting tbh.

Yeah no point in bying from overseas because then you cant trade in, tbh. Got God of War collection recently from play-asia but only because you cant get it here for ages.

Hard not to love MW2, single player story is awesome with brilliant graphics, online is a lot of fun and special-ops is brilliant to play with mates. Only issue is the length of single player - it's tiny.

Heard that a lot of new games like Left for Dead 2 and others are getting banned regularly back in Oz. How bad is the situation really? Does it piss people of or does nobody care either way?
