Yes, they do, I've ordered from them before. And it's quite easy to import PC games from the UK to the US, I've done it many times because PC games are often cheaper in Europe for some reason. UK sellers sell PC games on the US Ebay all the time. Unless there's some really strict DRM on his game (which I doubt there'll be) anyone should be able to buy this from Europe. There's no region locking on PC, you know (it'd be impossible to enforce.)

Id love Daytona or SCUD racer. They are releasing Daytona on XBLA, and all XBLA have to be coded in XNA - which can run on a Windows PC with little to know hassle. I dont know why more XBLA releases dont get PC releases - looking at you Castle Crashers.

Mostly because of exclusivity agreeements, which are falling out of favor with indie developers.

I bought Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing (European version) for the PC. I had no idea this existed until I discovered it last night.

I am aware it lacks netplay, but it was cheap and should run very nice on my PC. Local 4 player split screen multiplayer is supported which is pretty cool. If everything works out with this, I should know what to expect for Sonic Generations on PC.

Even though it's a European game, I had no trouble buying it new from Amazon USA.

Really now, Thanks for the heads up, I am buying it as soon as I get some cash.

Its just silly that they will release Castle Crashers to the PSN and not the PC. But you know what, if it takes 5 more years to get it on the PC, it is still worth it. Thank you for the link. I am reading it now.

So what's the deal with Sonic Generations? It's only caught my attention since I heard it was coming to PC. I usually just ignore new Sonic games. Is it a remake of the original Sonic games or something new?

Completely new but it's a 3D Sonic game "done right"

Watch these videos and you'll have a good idea of what to expect.
