PS3 games from USA

Hi,

I am heading over to Florida on holiday and was going to buy some ps3 games. What is the best shop to get them from?

I wouldn't bother unless the game can't be purchased here. You will have problems activating online passes and purchasing additional content with the regional variation.

It's true about the extra content & the online activation as it depends on your account eg UK account can only use UK or EU stuff.....

That said if you just wanted to buy a single player game that doesn't require ad-ons or DLCs then Game Stop is a great place as they are mainstream & you can find almost anywhere

Gamestop's OK on games, I found thier pre order bonuses where generally better than most. I've probably still got my loyalty card somewhere, hahaha

 

Don't forget to check out Wallmart, they have some great bargains and also Bestbuy.

 

I wouldnt worry about the online pass issue / DLC put you off.  I lived out there for 3 years and i still play several titles i bought out there without issue (although these where bought before online passes)

i heard bestbuy is pretty good, if you create an american psn account you can use it to download add ons and install them and play them on the other accounts, worked for me with rocksmith.
