Default Importing Fahrenheit

I'm looking into importing Fahrenheit from Europe (PS2 version) rather than buying the edited indigo prophecy. I'm just wondering if anyone has links to major reliable sites offering to ship it to canada (for as cheap as possible) because I have no clue where to look for it.

Thanks,
William

Sorry to state the obvious if you're already aware of this, but you do realize that playing an imported PS2 game requires you to either buy a European PS2 or modify your American system, right?

No PAL of Europe is a PAL of mine.

American TV pictures are Never Twice Same Colour.

Confound the superior technology of European televisions, right?

Arg, never mind then. I was aware of the difference between Japanese systems and american ones, but wasn't sure about european ones. I was actually going to ask, but then I figured someone would point it out if otherwise.

Oh well, it's not worth it then, as the price was getting kind of steep anyways. I don't have a gamepad, and don't really want to get one just for the game, I prefer to use the ease of an already configured console system when necessary. And I don't want to use the mouse keyboard control, or I'll be plowing into walls everywhere I'm sure.
Indigo Prophecy will have to do then -- hopefully I don't miss out on anything too interesting

Or you could procure an adapter for your PS2 controller so you can use it with the PC version. Someone else here more geeky than I can tell you all about it.

This is the one I use:

I prefer my Xbox pad to my PS2 pad, and the Xbox is already USB, so the adapter is much smaller and there are some nice drivers. I'm probably never going to buy a PC specific pad ever.

First off, sorry to bring this thread back from the later pages.

Next, does anyone know of a reliable company that ships worldwide? I want to get Fahrenheit, not Indigo Prophecy, and amazon Uk doesn't ship PC games to Mexico. Does anyone have some ideas or online stores I might use(low shipping costs ones if those are available)? I've been dying to play this game since it was announced and now I don't know how to get the version I want.
