    Doesn't look too bad. Airmail would cost about €4, it would seem. Also, I found a contact address and phone number, which many of the dodgy sites don't have.

    I used em for Moto GP. Took 3 weeks to get here but I "asked them a question" after about 2 asking where it was and they replied by the next day.
    Helpful.

    Although, I've heard stories of games being stopped by customs and being forced to pay extra, so, beware.

    I've used them twice - once for importing a pink DS for the girlfriend. I got raped by customs though because the value of the item was worth it to them to charge me. As long as you keep the value down (games and accessories should be fine) you should have no trouble.

    In relation to their integrity though Play-Asia are a big established company and I would have no problem giving them my details.

    I've used them a good few times. Delivery can take betweeen 2 - 3 weeks but the fact that I am getting most of the 360 games for half the price they are here its weel worth it. Some of the asian games actually came in pal others were ntsc.

    There returns section is ok also. I had games sent out in error. I emailed them and they requested pictures of the items to verfiy as soon as they got the pictures they told me to return the items by airmail, They actually sent out the proper order before i got a chance to return the other 1.

    About the customs. I had a few stopped but it was only when i bulk ordered and had to get them to ship it in a box. if your ordering single games it should be ok, I never had a problem. I did get past customs with a big order once, as i had a coupon for $80 which brought my order down to $20 :) the coupon was a refund i got for a cancelled order that i paid via paypal.

    i'v used them for xbox 360 games and i'v only had one problem out of about eight orders and that was an order with two games in the package that got stopped by customs .

    my last order just cause was posted within three hours of placing the order :D .

    Bought a freeloader disc for the gamecube and arrived in 10 working days. Happy as Larry. Also pre-ordered the latest Zelda for a very reasonable price.

    got moto gp from them the other week not problems at all and less than half the retail price in dublin.

    Ordered my sweet (and big!) Hori Fighting stick off them, along with some other stuff. Didn't even get caught by customs!* :D Sweet.

    *mind you, that was over half a year ago...

    Ordered Megaman ZX on the 24th, it dispatched the next day and then arrived today.
    Brilliant service considering that I paid about half of what high street stores will charge when the game is released over here:)

    it seems alright so far, i'm kind of stuck less than an hour into it though:p
    definitely digging the open map metroid style gameplay...
    bit early to give a definite judgement on it tbh. at this stage i'd give it 7/10, maybe 8/10 at a push
