My first international package
Today, in the mail from Hong Kong, was The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap.
This title seems almost impossible to get in the states anymore. Every store I've been to, both in person and online, either had it out of stock or never carried it. So I had to import the game from Hong Kong.
Because of the rarity of this game in the states, I've seen it sold on eBay and Amazon for double and triple the MSRP (Manufacturers' Suggested Retail Price). But I managed to get it for a little over $20 by importing it.
EDIT: (8/2/2007)
After further inspection, what was shipped was counterfeit. I'm still deciding if I should take actions against the shipper, or just let it go. Since it was only $20, and that's pretty much pocket change, I'm probably just going to chuck it up to bad luck and keep searching for a retailer that sells the game. Since this bootleg copy randomly freezes, it's completely unplayable.
