Where do you get your Pop'n Games?

[oOAsians2loveOo]

Since I'm having some trouble locating the most current Pop'n games on Play-Asia... I was wondering where everyone else get their games! Is it the same site I go to (play-asia) or something else? :] Does it have better prices? Is it just overly awesome~ Tell me about it!

Once I'll buy a Pop'n game, it would be from play-asia.. XD but the only game they have is Pop'n 12 (last time I checked).. :B So I might get that until I can find 13 and 14.

The marketplace here, or eBay, are a much better bet than Play-Asia.

And before someone reccomends it, don't go to Toys N Joys for ordering things.

They're liars and have a terrible service. I've emailed them in the past 3 times in 2 months about an item that was waaay late and they pulled out a bs excuse that they shipped it that day in both emails.

It wasn't until I threatened to take my money back and they chickened out that they shipped it and it arrived that week. I'm not the only one who's had bad service with it either.

So yeah, save your time and money and order off ebay or use the marketplace here. There isn't really anywhere else that I can think of.

Amazon might have it but don't bet on it since last time I checked they were selling the old dreamcast games

Thanks for the warning Lyte. And I didn't know there was a Marketplace here.. o3o Much to learn on this site.

The funny thing about toys n joys is back in 2005 if you were doing this you would have avoided it because back then everyone and their mother was complaining about those morons. I can't believe they're still around.

Also, if they have what you want in stock, I recommend NCSX over ebay and the marketplace, but they don't have much pop'n stuff. Except for some reason they still have some old super rare LEs in stock at good prices.

Marketplace is better for used games, but eBay has pretty much every game new. Even best hits, which is impossible to find anywhere but eBay for some strange reason.

My family aren't big eBay fans.. :B Since I don't have paypal (I think I'm too young to get one), I'd have to really ask either my grandfather or mother, which means no marketplace for me until I'm a bit older.. @w@'' I'd probably always go to something like play-asia or like you said, NCSX.. (they happen to have FEVER and Carnival)

You can get a paypal, but you will have to sign up under your parents name if you are under 18. I have one in my mother's name but it's my account and I have the debit card for it. Even when I turn 18 next year, I probably am not going to bother with changing my paypal account info, it's all good the way it is now.
Also, paying with paypal (and henceforth, buying on ebay) is no different than buying from NCSX or play-asia, because paypal comes through a credit card exactly the same way as would buying through any store. I have been using paypal and ebay for years (since 2002) and have never had a problem with either, so your parents fears are entirely irrational.

More importantly, since I don't think I am getting the vibe that you buy a lot of stuff online, you do realize that Japanese games WILL NOT run on an American ps2 and that you will need either a Japanese ps2, swap magic, or a modchip, and therefore most likely need paypal...right?

I'm not sure if my grandfather would let me either way~ He's kind of picky with money... :B Or I'd get it now that I know this. Maybe I can ask my mom next time she comes over, or my grandmother when she's in a good mood.

I have a question~ Paypal is safe right? Nothing really dangerous about it? I heard much about it, but never put much thought into it because I'm young (just turned 15).

[zorahk]

I just said I have been using it since 2002 and never had any problems.

And I also just remembered that to buy an ASC you need paypal anyway.

So basically you are not going to get out of using paypal.

[oOAsians2loveOo]

@w@ I know but still. It's always good to double check on what people say. I'll look more into it~ As it seems I'll need this a lot for these imported games and what not.

[Lyte.]

There's no doubt at all that you will need it. And it's really trustworthy.

Nothing really dangerous about it? I heard much about it, but never put much thought into it because I'm young (just turned 15).

I turn 15 next month and my parents have allowed me to buy two things using their paypal; There's nothing dangerous about it.

By the way, did you see what zorahk said about modchips, swap magic, etc?

[oOAsians2loveOo]

I feel so out of the loop~ Well I'll make sure I tell my mom about it. She'll probably think I'm crazy but I need these games.. @w@''

Yeah, I already have my PS2 in the works of being modded (it's still in the box... I got a flip top cover because everything else would be too risky) But I'm hoping I can slap that on today~ My IIDX is just getting dusty. oO'

I actually get mine from a local store here in Seattle that sells import games, though they screwed up on my LE edition of 14. I think they actually have most of the games still in stock.

[oOAsians2loveOo]

:'D Well that's neat! You're very lucky. I wish I had a store like that nearby.

Marketplace is the best way to go since you can save around $20 or so. Usually the games are pretty well taken care of
