I'd like to know this as well, but from what I do know it's only possible to get a US version of Suikoden 3 (as it hasn't been released in PAL format) so ebay is generally the only way for you to get it in Europe (you will need a US PS2 to play it though...)

You could always try some independent gamestores that sell used games if they have a PS section, but I can't really think of any that still do this...

the uk is PAL format and Suikoden 3 was never released in Pal format..so no there is no suiko 3 in the UK..unless you import from USA

Go to Ebay. You could actually get the PAL versions for a cheaper price than the NTSC ones. It's a lot more rare but if you find it, it's all good!

Depending on where you are always check pre-owned games in stores as well as bargain bins etc cause you never know.

I known people who have found I & II for bargain prices like Â£12 pounds before

That's weird, I found it to be the other way around. In terms of conversion, the US ones always seem to sell for a lower price.

I believe from what i can see concerning Ebay that seems correct that NTSC sells cheaper (generally than the equivelant PAL version.

Suikoden I is available on Ebay as Buy Now which can be compared but Suikoden II is not available much on Buy Now and bidding patterns and unpredictable and there is a wide range of bids so i have compared Suikoden I.

Concerning Suikoden I here is what i have noticed.

Buy it now offers on Ebay.com (US) start at $24.99 (usually) bid and are available to purchase staright away at $49.99.

$24.99 >> Â£12.79

$49.99 >> Â£25.58

Buy it now offers on Ebay.co.uk (UK) only are available to buy straight away and they are available for Â£55.

Â£55 >> $107.45

So it would seem there is certainly a trend that PAL versions sell for more than NTSC versions usually on Ebay wether this was the case when games is released i am unsure but will look into it, i remember that when Suikoden I was released in UK it retailed between Â£24.99 & Â£29.99 same for Suikoden II

where I can find the suikoden 1 for Colombia you paginate them as alone ebay they go to united states

Persmerga · Post by **Persmerga** » Tue Dec 12, 2006 11:14 am

Which do you use in Columbia? PAL or NTSC?

If NTSC then you need to be buying off Ebay.com but check is definate NTSC version of game and check if seller is able to post worldwide.

If PAL then you need to be buying off Ebay.co.uk but check is definate PAL version of game and check if seller is able to post worldwide.

Hope this helps.
