Getting M rated games using Aramex
Hello everybody!
I am a gamer and I wanted to pre-order Watch Dogs from Amazon to get it as soon as it's available and ship it to Qatar using Aramex Shop and Ship.
I have heard from few friends that they heard rumors that if a game is not allowed for sale in Qatar might get confiscated by the airport authorities and you will end up losing what you paid for the game of course as you will never get it.
Watch Dogs is an open world rated M (Mature / 17+) by ESRP. I believe it might look a bit like GTA which is not allowed for sale in Qatar as far as I know, if I preorder it now from Amazon and ship it to my Qatari Aramex account, will I get it, or I will end up losing the pre-ordering fees?

The game is banned here in qatar just saw a comment on TechCareCenter page on facebook regarding the game being banned :/ So if any of you knows a store that will sell the game here please inform me with the name of the store and address .
M.Rizk,
Not at all, games here always are available before their launch dates (2 - 5 days before launch)
There is a good shop in Al Wakra (Techno Park) and Al-Nasr (Persian Games), you can give them your number and they will send you SMS messages when any new game arrive
But it would take really a long time before it reaches Qatar, pre-ordering it from Amazon and shipping it to Aramex should consume much less time. It might even reach me just two or three days after the game is released in the US.
But the main question is, will Aramex ship it and the airport authorities will be ok with it?
Mohammed,
Im pretty sure watch dogs will be sold here, the reason why GTA is banned in some countries including Qatar is because of Drug/prostitution/murder in game
You got it locally from Qatar, right? It was probably that expensive as you got it from a shop that was able to enter the game to Qatar somehow, because SAQR and Virgin told me it was barred from sales in Qatar.
So you are planning to get Watch Dogs from Amazon? PSN of course is the most safe way, as I have a US PSN but I like buying the games I love in physical form, not digitally.
If you ordered any M rated game before using Aramex, or any other way or maybe one of your friends did please tell me if it works. I am really afraid I would pre order it and it ends up getting confiscated in the airport :/
I bought GTAV for 450 during launch and i am not going to do it again with WatchDogs. there's a 60% chance ill get in off amazon, and 40% in the PSN.
