Certainly works within Europe regardless; my uncle in Berlin has sent and recieved several packages from amazon.de or .co.uk respectively.

I have sent packages from US Amazon to the UK, so I'm sure Agent Subterfuge could use Amazon UK.

I second either game.co.uk or perhaps play.com. There's always amazon.co.uk too. EDIT: and yes, there are regional considerations. The UK version will be a 'PAL' system to be compatible with our television systems, whereas one bought in Canada will probably not be.
I got myself a US PS3 earlier this year and had no trouble having it work here in Spain. The PAL/NTSC question was not an issue at all, most TV can handle both nowadays (I didn't even worry about it at the time)
Now there is one regional consideration, which is DVD/game zones as it's a Zone 1 device and I live in Zone 2 (i.e. I either have to buy my games in the US or find imports). It probably works the same for the Xbox.

I'd be very careful about saying this; not all TVs are dual capable, as I found out at the time of buying my TV, and it's still a consideration particularly if his brother just bought a set without specifically checking.

Sure, it's worth checking. I'd be surprised if it weren't standard on a new 2008 TV set though. I just did a cursory check on different brands and they were all compatible.

Students don't always buy new though - or if they're in dorms they don't always get a say on what TV is in it ;)

Ah, good point :)

No problem, I think I'm just good at thinking like (as) a broke person :p
