You should change the thanks to
thanks to EB(USA) (bit late now but maybe in future packs)
My EB store in the UK (sunderland) says
We can not sell it because Sony said it is illegal
I have managed to get it though, @ ?7.99 tekken 3, and ?8.99 MGS thanks to chips in case you are interested

The EBs in canada are carrying it. They are charging $14.95 which is reasonable considering it plays copys of games

SSDD - EB clerks are habitually underinformed. EB is carrying it and if they aren't it's not because of Sony. It's because they haven't recieved a shipment yet, especiallyif they're foreign to America.

I bought my copy of the GT2 pak in the local EB store at a mall. They only had 2-3 coppies left when I got it (a few months ago)

I havent had a chance to go to the mall and see if they have the new packs in yet. I need to go soon (plan on giving a couple as X-mas gifts)

I bought all my bleem packs from my local EBX wiht no problem. I just got Bleem MGS ans TK3 yesterday and they kick ass. Just don't listen to the employees, they know nothing. I asked one guy: "When does bleem for Metal Gear Solid come out?" and he said "I'm not sure, I think sometime in December. Then I called the next day and they had both of them in.

Perhaps EB finds it too difficult to ship overseas.

Before Gooey has a heart attack at all the people telling him EB sells it;

Gooey, I think EB (UK) is a different company to EB (World); They own GAME as well now, and I think they just use the same logo etc like a franchise rather than being directly connected with EBWorld. (like how McDonalds UK has a similar but different menu over here) - think the 'royale with cheese' bit in Pulp Fiction...

Your best bet for future releases would be an 'independent' shop (check the backs of some magazines; theres loads about if for whatevr reason chips stop selling) bleem.co.uk or ordering direct from bleem themselves.

I have to stand up now and support Gooey.

Be calm, my slimey friend. EB in the UK never EVER stocked Bleem! EVER!

I wish that more people would see this and realise that a major franchise such as EB SHOULD sell B! if their American counterparts do, and that the Bleem! disk "thanks" are confusing and a proverbial "slap-in-the-face" to the UK gamers who can't stand to see shops that

a) Only stock peripherals that their company are associated with
b) Push good games consoles (like the DC and N64) into early retirement as far as shelf space is considered
c) Employ staff who think that the PS2 is the best console because: "It just is" and
d) Don't stock a single copy of Skies Of Arcadia!

I mean... WHATSUPWITTHAT?!!!!
