A coworker put this together and chucked it on our internal forums. Wasn't sure where to put this, so I'll put it here:

PAL GAMES

Buying in NZ:
This is the worse case scenario - you're more than likely getting ripped off.
http://www.pricespy.co.nz - Pricespy list games, and have all of the major players, except for ebgames.
http://www.ebgames.co.nz - Overpriced games in most cases.

Buying from the UK:
http://www.zavvi.com - Sister site to The Hut. Matches prices with most major price cuts in the UK, and ships to NZ for a few pounds.
http://www.thehut.com - Mostly the same as Zavvi.
http://www.shopto.net - I haven't yet
http://www.ozgameshop.com - Shipped from the UK, priced in AUD.

NTSC GAMES

Buying from the USA:
http://www.amazon.com - Amazon have recently changed policy and started shipping games to NZ. Note this only applies to amazon.com, not other sellers representing themselves via amazon.com
http://www.gamestop.com - Apparently you can order from gamestop.com, have never tried.
Buying from Canada:
http://www.videogamesplus.ca - Have used them several times.

NTSC-J GAMES

http://www.amiami.jp/shop/?set=english - AmiAmi by far offer the cheapest games out of Japan (as well as figurines, etc). However, they only keep new games, and aging stock is quickly cleared out.
http://www.play-asia.com - Play-Asia. You've heard of them before, they offer a wide catalogue including US titles. Generally the prices are more expensive than elsewhere though.

Why buy overseas?
Example (17/02/11): Dead Space 2 - console version
Zavvi: $51.07 + free shipping this month
Pricespy: $89.99
EBGames: $119.99
save $39!

Madcatz Tournament Edition Round 2, Legatrons got one on order aswell i think

[Leggetron]

Yeah, apparently. Hopefully it turns up next week after pay day

[Vivasanti]

Mines paid for, just hope it turns up when it says cause its the 2nd time they've changed the "in stock" date

Do you actually buy all this shit or just talk others into it?

[FaceAche]

Well the next best price that i can see for it is $70, so if anyone is in the market for this game, now is the time to get it!!

You never know, Tel Prydain might buy another copy of it, as he seems to be the only person on the planet who actually enjoyed this game. RPG's are not for me. Not even RPG's dressed in Action clothing

You are scaring me now. You might be the antithesis to Che Guevara!
