Wow- thanks for all the info! I wasn't quite sure exactly where he'd be staying, but he's already there, & I don't expect much more communication than an occasional email, so none of the specific directions really helps.

I didnt send him on a wild goose chase, I casually mentioned that if he happened to see these games in a store or someplace, that I'd like them. I also said it was OK if he didnt bring anything back.

I was already quite sure the Japanese/Korea games were NTSC. Good news about Vampire Nights, too. I hope he finds it. I think I could play a shooting game w/out needing to understand much else. But would I need a compatible/Korean PS2 to play it?
