    I try games first and if I like them, I go buy them.

    I just bought the collectors edition of UT3 brand new for $25 on ebay
    and a used copy of COD4 for like $25 on ebay. Both great games (and if you were one of the people waiting for me to get them so we can game, let me know in a PM as I have them both now)

    Crysis is the final game I am trying to get but I can never find it in that ~$25 range with the exception of a few people selling foreign versions of it. They state in the ebay ad that its brand new, and the game plays in English but the box/manual is forign.

    Im not too concerned with single player, its more of the multi player I am worried about. With one of these foreign versions can I still play in the U.S. servers and all is well or will I need to hope for a used state side version to show up one day.

    Thanks for the help

    Works just like the U.S. Version just a different box/manual right?

    I actually just found a used U.S. Version for 26.99 + 5 ship but the person said free shipping if you use buy it now. So for $27 I took the bait and just bought it. Thread still valid tho as I am sure at least one other person has this question.

    the game is subtitled but I'm sure they can be turned off.
