Video game prices down here are just rediculous. How are you going to charge a game that came out 2 years ago for $80?! I know its because of imports and stuff but still! Is there any place i can go where they sell games for around the same price that they sell in the US?

No. There isn't. Buy them on Amazon.com and have them shipped over using EPS. They hardly weigh anything so shipping is cheap and customs doesn't bother taxing them, even when you order 5 or 6 at a time.

Actually, should NOT exceed 200 dollars in value, otherwise the mail forwarder WILL customs-declare them (unless they are books, they can come in free of duties and taxes even if they cost US$1000)

Customs still cant tell the difference between DVD's and video games, so they label them all DVD's, assume they are worth 10-20 each and so you don't have to pay taxes unless you order a dozen titles at once.

At least, they have never charged me.
