Some games are slightly more expensive than other places (nothing more than $10 difference, from what I've seen), but if it's a US game, then it might be, but considering they're shipping from Hong-Kong, what'd you expect? It's meant to be an import store for any country. Aside from the 3 controllers I ordered from them, every I bought from them was just games. No special editions that had extra stuff like posters & such. From what I heard on the other forum I visit, they'll ship Limited/Special Edition content in a seperate package (i.e the Beatmania games I mentioned above have Limited Editions that come w/ a poster that gets shipped seperatly for some reason).


I've never had any problems w/ them. Stuff gets to me on time, they always send me info after I order & when they ship my order, & they always keep track of my past orders on my account. I've been ordering from them for about 4-ish years & been completely happy w/ their service.




Thank you for clearing that up :] I may try and get some goodies from there soon.

How is that game? It's coming later to the PSN as a PSP download-exclusive & I've been interested in it.


There's really only 1 360 game that I'd want to import & that'd Otomedius. Basically, it's a Konami shmup w/ girls that was drawn by the guy who did Keroro Gunso/Sgt. Frog. However, there's no disk for use on imports (i.e Freeloader for Wii) & Microsoft bans you from Xbox Live if they detect that you modded your 360.

@Koria- yeah, sometimes the price is really crazy.


@Zonic- I don't actually have a real problem with the site, I actually think it's great since you can find lots of stuff you couldn't find else where. It's just the fact that other items can be really overpriced at times. I guess since you don't bother with some special/limited items it's not such a big deal. It's fine though, it's business afterall so no real hate. Just me sulking over stuff I won't be getting.

It's a great amount of fun... I'm very much looking forward to the localized PSP version, which I plan on buying right away. I'd also have to say that I enjoy it more than a lot of mainstream series like Guilty Gear.


Amusingly enough, pretty much all of the nonlocalized current gen games I'm interested in playing are on the 360 - I want those bloody shmups, dammit!

Only Games I imported was two PS1 games


 


Ghost In The Shell (Japanese version) Bought it in France (Brand new still)


Chrono Cross (NTSC UC) Imported from the States unfortunatly the PS3 doesnt play all region PS1 games so Im playing this on my PsOne that is chipped on a HDTv (Looks like crap)..


 


But planning on Buying a SD TV for older games in the bedroom (ah like the old days for me laying in bed playing for hours fall asleep wake up play_)


 


Great game though but GITS can get pretty dull a bit here and there..


 


I used to get Pirated Japanese games but im over that horrible phase of live... Oringals !!!


Just wish I could get some imported games at ease (places like Amazon banned my post office)

@Stubbs - When I bought my controllers for Guitar Freaks ($60) & Drummania ($70), it was going to cost $20 shipping EACH (I also bought a game for $65, but they put in inside one of the controller boxes), so yeah, when you're order the more bigger &/or expensive stuff, it can get expensive. It was $195 plus $50.50 shipping (& it was in 2 seperate packages). But like I said, they arrive like 2 days after I ordered.


@Ouji-San - They blocked your post office? Why?

Just a word of warning guys; let's not discuss pirating of games etc. Stick to discussing games that are legit. Thanks.
