My Xbox is modded so I don't care what region it is as long as it has German or English text. But if it's the one sheep is looking for then let him have it. There's too many new games that I want coming out in the next 2 months that there's no room for another one :)

I'll keep an eye out for another NTSC-U version, i have no idea how much it would cost to ship a game to the "old world" though ;)

That is what I was wondering about quite a few times too :) I've had SNES games shipped to me from the U.S for $3 shipping or $10, both via normal USPS air mail and I've seen auctions on eBay with $19,99 shipping for an Xbox game. Just ONE game :) Normally I don't mind too much because I usually buy games that are rare In Europe or unreleased and with the strong Euro I can strike a good deal after all. But I really wonder why there's such a huge difference in shipping costs.

Maybe because many people want to make a small fortune out of overpriced shipping costs.... ;)

Agreed. Its just a way of upping the price a bit more in my opinion.
