Anybody buy games regulary from them? If so which one? I've a GC and I want to get some more games.
Cheers for any help.

www.play.com is probably the cheapest. Problem is, that most of their top selling games are temporary outta stock at the moment. But they should have them restocked this week. You can also pick up Resi Zero for £17.99 or roughly €25.

Another good one is www.gameplay.com. Unlike www.play.com, these charge delivery but usually have a good stock of games.

If ya wanna import try www.lik-sang.com. You can pick up the animal crossing and the freeloader (allows import games to be played on the GC) there for only €66. Plus some of their games are free delivery.

Hope that helps!!

Yeah but LikSang will crucify you when it comes to p&p. If you want Animal Crossing it'd be in your interest to try somewhere closer to home. I've heard good things about importmadness.co.uk

Animal Crossing is free delivery with lik-sang.com!!

Animal Crossing on PAL!
Free delivery, free memory card 59, and all for €52.95! have to wait a couple of weeks for it though.

www.importmaddness.co.uk are fairly cheap however their speed at dispatching orders is laughable. i ordered viewtiful joe and .hack 1 last friday and they still havent sent them yet.

lik-sang claim to have free shipping worldwide for all games

www.dvdboxoffice.com is a good for US imports. The thing that stands out is its free worldwide shipping, but like importmaddness.co.uk, it would take around two weeks to reach your doorstep. Fortunetly, courier shipping is an option. If chosen, you recieve your game in approximetly two days (according to the site) for a reasonable $15CDN (€11), which would be well worth it if you were purchasing more than one game.

I would only recommend the site for new titles, as its back catalouge isn't great and rarely drops to stellar prices. Cost of new games are really good, a game like Mario Kart: DD!! would set you back $71CDN (€46) while Viewful Joe retails for only $53CDN (€34).

all i can say is **** dvdboxoffice.com. after seeing xenosaga on sale there for €25, ordering it and it being delivered quite promptly i decided to order some more games as it was quite cheap. after a month of none of the items ahd been sent. i then recieved an email asking for me to fax them my credit card statment. this being a little unusual as a stolen credit card statment is just as bad as the card that it comes with not to mention that if anything goes wrong this comapny is 3000 miles away. i refused and told them that any informatino required can be gotten through the credit card company and i was not faxing anything. 3 days later i recive a rather snotty email accusing me of credit card fraud. im still waiting for the notice from their lawyers

Try www.cdwow.ie (or for more savings www.cd-wow.com.hk )

Or if you are after second hand stuff www.cex.co.uk is reasonable.
