While I wait for my Freeloader to be sent, I'd like to discuss where to buy Import games from.

I was gonna get Animal Crossing and Ikaruga from AnotherWorld for 59.99 each,
but now I'm gonna get AC from DVDBoxOffice for 73 canadian bucks (which is at a guess about 30 quid - correct me if Im wrong)
Anyone wanna share their views on decent import dealers/sites?

Echelon_vs_Lightforce, you're a life saver - that site is great! Have you ordered off them yet? And do you know how much delivery costs?

Yeah the prices are amazingly good. Just hope that they can back that up with decent customer service and delivery time.

Guess it must be the synic in me. When the deal seems to good, it usuall is. But you don't know unless you give them a go and 60 quid for Re0 and Metroid Prime is a stunning deal. It'd cost you 80 quid to get them both in the UK when the official release rolls around.

Here hoping hey!

I'm gonna give them a go as well once my money's in my bank. They're damn cheap and the best thing is they take Solo. Oh and you can pay extra for 3 day delivery which me thinks i'll do, I'm an impatient fool.

ah okay, it seems they are based in Canada. So maybe the shipping issue will be the same as with DVDboxoffce. Still, i will give them a good and see what they are like.

Couple of mates have had long delays with DVDboxoffice, so it'll be interesting to compaire.

anyone tried....

importmadness.co.uk/cgi-bin/home

Spotted this site the other day and they seem to be very cheap indeed.

Metroid Prime £29.99
Zelda and bouns disk £29.99


Plus they are in the UK so i guess the shipping time should be much quicker the DVDbox office.

Never used them before, although going to get Zleda and Re0 once i get a ver 1.6 Freeloader on the weekend.

Wondered if anyone else has give them a go! If not i will repory my experiecne back once i have ordered. If the customer service is as good as the prices, you can't go wrong. Cheap than UK games!
