WTB/WTTF: Korean video games

[drummy]

I'm interested in buying or trading Korean video games for any system. Pretty self-explanatory.

Yeah, the games there that are good are really expensive, so I decided to give it a try here.

unfortunatly even in Seoul the used ps2 you are expect to pay a lot for it since not many people buy 'em - you can get the ripped version at much lower price at the shop next to it... O_o

Unless it's only out in Korean don't think it'd be worth the trouble.... (I have about two dozen Korean ps2 titles but som of them are in Japan with only korean manuals whereas others are fully localized with Korean voice track only.) I usually pick up Asian release myself unless I see it cheaper in Korean...

I just want to buy Korean games because I'm Korean, so they have a special place in my heart.

mate my missus is from Korea as well and her senpai used to work for the company that did Kingdom Under Fire... (that's how I came to know xbox KUF before it was even mentioned in Down Under)

I get some of PS2 games from my brother-in-law in Seoul or when I visiting Seoul - usually twice a year... I found the whole rampant pirating scene not my liking though... but amazing place to be and mate it's hectic as ever - not like back in 70/80s when I was visiting Seoul on regualr intervals...

They use the PS2 there, and other current-gen consoles. These consoles are not pirated. Anyways, they sell Korean games on eBay and stuff, just not very often. And I see people that bid on them, so I KNOW some people have these Korean games here on these boards.

Not sure about any Korean-only systems, but they've got a bunch of odd licensed systems.

I read some of that, and thought you were going to sell it, and I got excited... :(

It depends on what you'd offer as to whether or not you could get it. Truth be told, the proceeds from this would fund my purchase of the actual Japanese release of the same game...

How much are you asking?
