I'm contemplating whether to start buying import music games. I probably won't soon, but possibly a few months from now I'd have the opportunity.

My question: Is getting into GF/DM worth it at this point?

I'd much rather get into GF/DM than GH or RB, since the whole wannabe rockstar concept doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. I want a music game that takes skill and musical talent to play, and has the feel of a Japanese arcade game. So anyway, I went on play-asia.com today to search for prices on beatmaniaIIDX, GuitarFreaks, and DrumMania stuff. But judging by the website, the stuff is really hard to get. Neither the GF ASC nor the DrumMania KOC is in stock, and I don't even see a GF non-ASC controller on the site. Plus, the only games in stock are GF/DM V3, and the new Masterpiece Silver/Gold, all the others are out of print. Judging by this, it seems getting into GF/DM would be too much of a hassle. Would it be better to just deal with GH and RB?

Sidenote: Pretty much the same case with beatmaniaIIDX, but I already have a US KOC, so the only problem there is the games. Only IIDX GOLD and DJ Troopers are in stock.
