PAL (UK/EU) Copy of GT5 for Sale in the USA

[Jordan]

Through a rather odd set of circumstances, I have come to acquire a UK copy of Gran Turismo 5 here in the United States. Considering that many of you here in the US are unable to redeem EU DLC codes, this would be a valuable thing to have - especially without having to pay any international shipping fees. The game is factory sealed, plays in all US PS3 consoles, and is available for MSRP ($59.99) with $5.00 shipping to anywhere in the United States. If you buy the game before the end of today (Friday), it will be in the mail by tomorrow (Saturday).

Reply here, send me a private message, email, or tweet @GTPlanetNews if you'd like to buy it.

Cut a deal for GTP members?

No. This is as cheap as it can be without selling it at a loss. I paid full retail price for this copy of the game and that's what I'm selling it for.

Just a question Jordan, why'd you buy a copy, and then sell it? I mean it seems a little weird.

 

[Jordan]

As I said, an odd set of circumstances. I wanted to purchase a copy of the game for a friend of mine in the UK as a gift, and ordered it from ShopTo.net. I opted to pay via PayPal, but was never asked to confirm the shipping address during checkout. Instead, they automatically used my home address as defined in my PayPal account, and didn't reply to my support ticket until after the game had already shipped. (Another oddity: they never charged me for international shipping - it was free.)

Left with no other options, I ordered a second, properly addressed copy from Amazon.co.uk and waited until this one arrived at my door. I already have an EU GT5 press kit with a review copy of the game and have no need for this one.

Hey -- I don't see premium anywhere in your profile, you can't post here.

As far as I know, it doesn't matter what version you have in order to download the DLC... Even if you have an NTSC copy, the only thing you need to do is open an EU account and input the code, and viceversa if you had an EU copy and US DLC.

The DLC codes are blocked by store region (which you can easily bypass), not game region.

The DLC codes are locked by game region, according to everything I have read on the issue:

This guy says he got EU codes working with a CA account. I was planning to buy some codes off of ebay, but I'll make sure to check they're from the US just to be sure.
