Bying PSP games from the US/Canada?

J-blk · 31-03-2005 12:51pm #1

Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for retailers that sell US PSP games to customers in Ireland?

Checked out DVDsoon.com and Video Games Plus in Canada based on posts of other people but availability of any games seems prety lame.

Placed an order with DVDsoon (prices seem really good) but service seems abysmal so I'm thinking of cancelling.... (no way of telling if something is in stock or not until you place an order. Them, your stuff comes up as "On Order" and no updates for days....).

Any other recommendations? Price is important but I would not mind paying something extra for good service.

How do customs come into play when you order a couple of games, as they would be over the €40 threshold? Anyone stung or do most retailers mark the packages as gifts (Amazon.com does this by default - I regularly get region 1 DVDs and some music CDs off them - games do not ship outside the US though....)?

Are VG+ and DVDsoon the only options then for poor PSP owners on this side of the pond?

Any input from all you PSP owners out there would be great. Thanks.

Thanx - I'll take a look. Nothing wrong with VG+ as far as I'm concerned - I've never used them. Just trying to sort out what alternatives there are. As I said, I've only placed an order with DVDsoon (anything but it seems...) but that may be on the cancelling block. Do you find VG+ reliable then?

I haven't imported off them but I don't remember ever hearing a bad thing about them.

Thanks guys - both sites look interesting and at least they do seem to more accurately reflect what's in stock and what isn't.

Danger in cancelling with Dvdsoon is that as they charge your card when you order they will only give you store credit for cancellations, you have to fill an online form and wait 28 days I think before they cerdit your card with the funds.
Also totally inflexible for multiple orders, they will fill each order as the item comes in and send the stuff to you piece by piece.
I don't think I will be buying from them again.

I've given up on cancelling with DVDsoon at this stage... even the cancel function gives an HTTP error (Firefox and IE - no difference) so I'll just have to wait until they decide to ship out the stuff.... I'll probably just order some other games in the meantime from other places but this really sucks...

I have the same problem cancelling with DVDSoon. Get a HTTP error with IE and Firefox
