Aussies playing MLB 10?

[Muppet]

Sorry if I sound like a spanner asking this, but do any Australians play this and did you import it to do so?

Looking at getting a PS3 in the near future and just want to make sure I can get this game to work if I import it.

Cheers,

Spanner.

I'm sure I remember one or two guys from there asking the same question back around release date...PS3's are 'region free' so there is no reason that it won't work for you. You should be able to find an on-line retailer that will send it to you...might cost a bit extra for the shipping.

EDIT: did a quick search and found a couple of guys...search for threads by members Aussie141414 and sandu8. There's also the yearly thread regarding people getting the game in Europe...obviously different, but there might be some information in there.

Yes....and there is a pretty good contingent of players from across the pond ....they've got their own MLB The Show website too.
I can't remember the name right now.....I lost the bookmark when I had to reinstall my windows and wipe the drive.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your help.

Yep! I'm Aussie and it's fine

Been playing since 08 and not one problem. I order it from CD universe an American Company and it will set you back about $70-$80AUS including shipping and handling, pending how the $AUS is. Downside is that it takes about 3-4 weeks to arrive.

I'm in NZ, and I've had 09 and 10. Both work fine. The only think you can't do is play DVD's from outside our region. All games will work, except some Asian games (from what I've heard). To get games from the US, you have two ways to do it. First, have relatives over there, like me. Or, you can use the American eBay site, and ask sellers if they'd be willing to ship overseas. We've done that before. I'm sure there must be some vendors in Oz that import titles like MLB. I've even seen the NHL games here, and I can't think of a single person I know that follows hockey. Must the Canadien expat!

I'm an Aussie who's loving MLB10. It's actually made me appreciate the sport more. This is a great sports game.

I pre-ordered it from VG+ and it only cost me $73 (games sold in Australia are normally $100 - $110).
