This is a wicked deal, you get the blu-ray disc complete with all the episodes. If you bought this on PSN, you'll know that not only will you have to d/l each episode individually (that means d/ling, installing and filling up your harddrive), you can only share the great game with 5 people, on top of all that, you'll have to pay $39.99... Well now you can get the blu-ray disc version for $30 bucks (after shipping fee), which features both Japanese and English voice/text.

I was waiting eagerly for the price of the Asia version to drop, and it finally did... this is a unique survival horror game that has received excellent reviews from the Asian and Western gaming communities. I know our dollars aren't that strong right now, but it's still a good deal as far as I'm concerned.

Good game.
I bought this originally when it came out and I'm glad I did!
Didn't want to waste valuable space downloading this.

Great find OP! I call this a Hot Deal. Since most things on Play-Asia is sooooo expensive. This is pretty rare especially when you cannot find a physical copy of this in North America.

Does anyone know of any coupons for Play Asia? I'm kind of interested in getting this, but I'm sure there must be coupons for the site out there.

Yep. But it's only the tax + handling fee from Canada Post.

Depends on declared value. You might get lucky.

IIRC, I don't think promotion codes can be applied to these weekly deals.

tempting...

but holding it off, got way too many games to play
and street fighter 4 is coming next month, no time to waste on this:)

btw, i played the siren: blood curse demo a few months back, it was alright, i found the graphics to be on the weaker side.

Like some have already posted it depends on your luck. I was hoping to increase my chances of avoiding custom by only ordering just the game and having it shipped by bubble pack instead of the box.

Are you saying that they squashed your ps3 game? Like the plastic container was broken?

Not sure about ALL ps3 games but this game can be played on North American PS3. Its also in english. The Japanese version does not have english.

I've never ordered from Play-Asia before.
What is the approximate shipping time to Toronto if I chose air economy.
