Buying UK games from the USA?

Anybody know a good place to order UK games from? Specifically, I'm looking for Exit 2 for the PSP, and the one place I know of that will ship to the US is www.cd-wow.us, and they don't list it for some reason. Amazon UK won't ship to the US either.

Any suggestions?

    GoGamer often carries UK versions of games, however I didn't see Exit there. Amazon UK will ship to the US. I've used them several times and in fact just got the collectors edition of Spaced. Thank god for VLC and it's ignoring of DVD region codes.

    I'd forgotten about Gogamer, but a search there reveals they don't have either Exit game. Good idea though.

    As for Amazon UK, they'll ship me DVDs, but when I try to buy anything video game related, it always says it won't ship to my US address. Found that out when I tried to get the UK version of Taito Legends 2 for the Xbox. Still looking for that too.

    As for eBay, I'd rather not go that route just yet. I will if I have to, but I'd rather find an online retailer. As above, there are actually a couple of games I'd like to get.

    Do you have a friend in the UK who could ship it out to you?
    I'd be more than willing if you could paypall me the cash but that would involve you trusting a random from the internet which is generally a bad idea. but i am a trustworthy random, honest.

    I think that Play.com might ship to the US.

    Kinda hoping to get it in English, though. And they don't have the UK version of Taito Legends 2 for the Xbox.

    RMH, if I don't get any other answers, I might just PM you anyway.

    Game UK shipped to me in the US once.

    And Play Asia stock games from everywhere, but I presume you knew that.

    Yup. Already checked Play-Asia for it too.

    Dangit, It looks like Game UK might've done the trick. Except they don't have either game! Argh!
