About LinkBacksI've just bought a game from a UK based online shop, but on arrival it says on the back of the box:
'For sale, rental and use only in USA, CANADA, MEXICO and LATIN AMERICA'. Are such statements binding or can the shop send me whatever they like?

I would have thought that it would be fairly binding, although I'm not sure.
Have you contacted the online shop about it? It could be that they had been sent US copies from their supplier by mistake
I don't think it's actually criminal for them to do that but there are a lot of questions raised. The publisher certainly wouldn't be too happy to find out that the shop is selling in the wrong territory and depending on the circumstances the tax man might be interested in them.

Yes.. interesting situation. I might see if Nintendo want to know about it.
It's an old DS game so no, but newer DS games will be if you had a DSi.
hello,
I purchased a wii componant cable from gadget asia which says "for sale in japan only"
Btw i would like to point out all games state "not for resale" yet game,gamestation,play,ebay etc sell sandhand games so it shouldnt be an issue should it?
They do? All the games I've bought (apart from via Steam) explicitly allow resale!
hmm maybe i read it wrong? it is monday afterall lol
i will check when i get home.
I don't think that's enforcible under UK law. Anyway, if it's Nintendo then AFAIK they take a very dim view of grey imports.
