Good place to find cheap Imported Games online!

krueper · 10-29-2006, 07:43 PM

Hey everybody, I was wanting to know if anybody has any places online to buy imported games that sell cheaper than normal!! I was wanting to pick up the Guitar freaks and Drummania Masterpiece Silver game!!! I have been purchasing my items from toysnjoys.com for last couple of years and looking for other options. If any one knows of places let me know!! P.S. I have also checked out play-asia.com.

If anybody is wanting to buy a barley played Taiko drum master boxed w/ game, drum, and al pieces or Beatmania boxed with the IIDX controller and game, (BOTH U.S. VERSIONS) give me an email. I was going to trade them in but I would rather give someone a better deal than to get completely ripped from a game store!!!

thansks,
krueper

I think that Play-Asia has the best prices you're likely to find for new imports.

For used, try eBay, the Marketplace forum here or the Mint forum on VJArmy. If you're really desperate you can also try the Ransai/DA forums (IIRC they have an area for people buying/selling Bemani games) and the AIJ forums (which are a cool place, but you're probably not going to get a warm reception if you show up just to buy/sell stuff).

I'm kind of looking for a copy of Taiko Drum Master (US), but it's not rare enough that I think I'll have to bother with purchasing it online. However, if you're really interested in selling them, I suggest you make a post advertising their availability to the Marketplace forum.

Play-Asia
Lik-Sang
YesAsia - mostly foreign media (DVDs, OSTs, etc)
HimeyaShop - you can request anything and they'll try to track it down
GameBaz - not sure if Jeff still has this site, but it used to be pretty awesome... :/

unless you live in hawaii toysnjoys is way too overpriced
id only resort to them if it was a game that was hard to find

Hmm... this looks like a feasible proxy for obtaining a GuitarFreaks ASC from KonamiStyle, if nothing else.

Thanks for the tip! You learn something new every thread...

How do you pay purchases for those sites anyways? Is a credit card really required?

Generally, though some places like Play-Asia also take PayPal or wire transfers.

Keep in mind that most places won't send out certain things to EU if you live in EU. Especially when it comes to 1st party SONY products
