I got them from Play-Asia. Most of the time Hong Kong releases are 100% identical to US versions (disc content, cover, manual, everything), and sometimes they get their own version (like Blue Dragon, which had Japanese voices but English subtitles). Some of the time though, they get kind of hybrid releases like those two, which are the US version of the game, completely in English, but with Chinese added to the cover/manual. The ones that get special covers are generally marked NTSC/J, even though they are actually region free US games. I have some other US games in my collection like Stranglehold, Tony Hawk's Project 8 and GRAW 2 - but they actually come from Hong Kong as well. I usually buy HK games when I can, because they are almost always region free, and cost about $40-50 instead of $60-70 (or $80-90 which is closer to Swedish retail price).


edit: I have the HK version of God of War II as well... which is great, it's in English, it's uncensored, and it came out a couple of months before the JP version... but it's NTSC/J, so I can play it on my Japanese PS3! :D It's identical to the US version, the only difference is that it doesn't have the ESRB rating on the box, and it comes with an extra instructions sheet in Chinese (the manual is in English).

And speaking of regions, almost all of the ones marked SWE are in fact "Scandinavia", but "Sweden" was the closest one, so that's what I picked... of course they all come from Sweden so I guess it works out. ^^
