Professor Layton in the UK - Any ideas how?

*stepurhan* · 07-29-2008, 11:29 AM

I want to get a copy of Professor Layton and the Curious Village for my sister's birthday but Amazon UK don't have it and Amazon.Com won't ship it to me. Does anyone know why this might be and if there is any way to get a copy in the UK?

Thanks for any help/info.

I had the same problem, and ended up buying it (new, sealed, etc.) on ebay. I see that there are currently 45 copies (link might expire(?)) on ebay UK.

I bought mine on eBay, too.

I could buy one and mail it to you. (Come to think of it, I should grab a copy for myself, too...)

Thanks for the offer Squinky. I appreciate it. However, it looks like eBay UK is loaded with copies from very high feedback sellers (cheers for pointing this out Kurufinwe) so I'm going to try that route. Most are talking immediate shipping so I wouldn't have to worry about the vagaries of the international post (just the vagaries of the UK post)

Do carry on picking up a copy for yourself though. Judging by our review it's well worth doing. (Don't own a DS myself.

)

Of course, this route is likely to end up costing me more. Not because this game is expensive on eBay UK but because once I'm on there I'm reminded of other things I was going to get a copy of (Psychonauts for example)

'Tis indeed a fun little game. At least from what I've played, though I tend to save it for journeys.
