Hey guys,

I was thinking it'll be a good idea to do a compilation of online shopping places to buy Nintendo games. Do post up sites that you use, unless you already see it in the list. Maybe I'll also do up a quick one line review of each site as well.

But first, a hat off and a bow to the venerable Lik Sang who has been crushed by Sony's legal people.... *rest in peace* You were a great site for importers all over the world...

For now:

www.tronixweb.com - Yet to see a better site than this. FEDEX shipping for 3 DS games is about USD14. Sometimes has price reductions.
www.playasia.com - Great place for Japanese games, it'll also stock popular US titles.
www.dvdboxoffice.com - Based in Canada. Often has reduced price games. Free shipping worldwide.
(bidfordun) www.yesasia.com - Deals mainly with Japanese imports.
(bidfordun) www.superufo.com
(bidfordun) www.ebay.com - The most popular auction site in the world I think.
(Suet) www.lowyat.net - But of course!

Sites that Malaysians can't buy from without a US credit card:
www.ebgames.com

wat happen to lik sang? they selling pirated gameS?

wah, u didnt know ar? they sold sony stuffs to european, which is not allowed, so sony sued them and they ended up closing the site. haiz, i wish i can buy their tetris ds. discounted leh.

ohhh....like tat then kena sued close down ar?

got bigger issues such as piracy here, yet they dun bother?

bcos even b4 that they have conflicts edy, selling modded consoles i think, so sony later took the oppurtunity to kena them kao kao.

^ Exactly, Sony is being the biggest ass in the gaming realm!

And don't forget: Lowyat.net

Sony must be losing it suing their own reseller.

The issue is that LikSang is not an authorised reseller.
And Sony feels that having Japanese PS3s in the UK market will dilute demand for the UK PS3s...

where got..they deals in everything one..dont care japan or us games..

to put in short..if you been sued by something big..then you already in deep shit..might as well dapao

www.ncsx.com - quite expensive, average shipping time (first time 1 month, but latest order oni took 2 weeks). Oni bought from them twice, but my experience with them has so far been positive (2004 - Japanese Hamutaro GBC game, few weeks ago - Strawberry Shortcake DS game)

Does anyone know whether superufo.com got free delivery or not? Their games selling for damn cheap price.

super-ufo/success HK dont offer free delivery. they offer airmail/EMS/Fedex/UPS i think, prices are according to weight & courier co.

Do you know how much will the delivery cost for 1 DS game?

depends on the shipping method.

1 ds game - 0.36kg

Air Mail (Bubble Pack): USD 7.08
Air Mail: USD12.58
EMS: USD12.50
UPS/FEDEX/DHL: USD 16.10



/

Eh this deal not bad lah! I think I should order in superufo.com instead of Play asia!

samus samus i envy u...got so much money to throw =/

No I don't have much money. The thing is I got 7As in my UPSR exam so my parents are actually gonna get almost anything I want...for now that is, they won't be like this till SPM ends

7A aso so many stuff one meh =.= me 5A oso can get only 1 item unlike u =p

Dunno lah. My parents are very proud of my results

haha, i wish my mum is like that too.

They just happy for a while only wan. Later start scolding again

Be thankful.
My parents never happy with my results. Even when I got a D(distinction) which is the highest grade, they expect a HD(higher distinction) which never exist in my college grading system.

Back to topic:
http://www.buygame2.com/eng/ is not bad too. No free shipping but most of their games are still few dollars cheaper than playasia after adding fee for normal shipping method.
And the best part is they take special orders for a list of official Japan stores:
Playstation
Toysrus
SEGA Direct
Konami Style
e-Capcom
PlayOnline
Soft Map

ur parents terlalu proud -.-

hi all, i got 2 usd5 vouchers from play-asia. if anyone of you going to get anything from play-asia....let me know so that you can use it....however, in order to use it, minimum order have to be USD50.

there is surcharge for superufo and buy2game if using credit card

Lik-Sang got into problem coz they shipped JPN PSP (Not PS3) to UK customer.
SONY sue the hell out of them, whack them till kingdom come,
so they were closed, for good...

Used to buy from Lik-Sang, miss them coz they have pretty good deal.
