I was thinkin of ordering a few games of them and Natbuc has just shown me the above.

Personally I think it's a load of bolocks. You can only send it back if its in its original wrapping. How the f**k do you know if the game is broken. You gonna look at the box and say "This game is broken" and send it back!

Cheers in advance.....

Hey Solsk. I thought you got the game months ago? Hmm, must have been someone else. Anyhow, I went for Lik-Sang in the end. Meant to be really reliable and the goods were cheap. I ordered last night at 8 and my tracking says the goods are already being shipped. :) Have you a USB memory card? If so, along with Alistair we could share goals or option files maybe?

If you're looking for World Soccer `Winning Eleven 6: Final Evolution´ at a good-price, then take a look at www.Play-Asia.com .

Not only is it pretty cheap there, but - according to Dr.Duck - they're very reliable.


My copy of this game arrived yesterday - absolutley fantastic!

Only problem was that I ordered it from GoblinDirect about a month ago, and they only got their hands on more stock over the weekend!
AND I had to remind them to dispatch my game with an e-mail on Tuesday, even though they'd had this game back in-stock since Friday/Saturday, and my order's been with them for weeks!

Never buying off them again! Too impatient, I am - especially with a game as superb as this!


Still, at least the First-Class Recorded Delivery thing went right...

Are you insane?

In the end I looked around a couple of sites for my items (Winning Eleven Final Evolution, Freeloader, and USB 1019 block memory card). Goblin was the cheapest in the UK, but still a bit pricey if you weren't a member. King Cube was way too expensive (£60 for Winning Eleven?!?!). Ebay's ok, but you always have to wait for items to end, and the chances are you're going to get beaten at the end. Plus import games fly from there. So in the end I opted for Lik-Sang. They look very reliable, the goods were cheap, and even though the postage was £6 and took a week, they were still by far the best (£78 inc postage altogether). This was far cheaper than anywhere else. Oh and the reason I though Import Madness were dodgy was the fact that they never even see the game they sell you. They just forward your order to some Japsters meaning they aren't responsible for the goods, and if anything is wrong with it you'll end up paying for it!

I've used them before and there pretty good. However after buying Vexx for about £22 i soon realised when the bill come in that it was more like £40!! If you have any worries you can email them but sometimes they don't reply what looks bad, but there alright. I wouldn't order from them again though as i paid alot for faster delivery and it was about 2 days late. It's up to you! there no cowboys though..... :)
