Anyone know any decent importers, don't really want to use Goblin and Importmadness.co.uk seems to have vanished.

So anyone know any decent sites to get US games? preferably quite cheap.

They have now reduced prices of their USA imports to £42 inc P&P, so so tempted to order F-Zero, refuse to pay the Goblin memebership (£20 for 6 months and £25 for year)

It does make the company look bad.
My 'loyalty' is dwindling. Which is probably a good thing for me, but bad for ninty.
Xbox 2 anyone?

Supposedly Nintendo sent letters out to all importers and some people who have been importing their stuff and threatening legal action if they continue. It's something to do with the fact that it says on the game packaging that this game should not be sold or distributed outside of wherever it came from n stuff!

Wonder if this will stop anyone!

Personally I think Nintendo should get their head out of their ar$e and stop annoying the masses. If their not going to release games in certain countries then why shouldn't people import those games etc. Plus this isn't doing Nintendo's already dying image any favours!

Stupid company!

Why don't they just concentrate on releasing some bloomin' games for a change rather than moan about people actually wanting to play their games!

grrr-argh

Well done.

Apparently North America had a big power cut so all the these sites were offline for a while. They should be back now.

Ebay is always the best bet...try and fine someone who will post stuff to the UK. Postage is not bad either. If I see an auction I like the look of, i normally contact the seller to see if they have anymore copies of the game etc, and they normally arrange a cheaper price for you. Rather than messing about with auctions and there are normally loads of wholesalers on. Thats how i got my GBA for £50 only a few weeks after the US release date. (I bought 2 and made a killing on Ebay with the other) I also managed to get my copy of AC and freeloader posted to me for 28 quid, so they arent that bad :P
