Hi - i live in the Uk and have had a DS for almost 2 weeks . .i bought it from ebay along with Mario 64.

I am looking to get my hands on some new games and was wondering if anyone could recommend a company that is based in the UK who import games and actually have them in the UK to ship. I have searched the internet and found few companies websites that end in .co.uk but they seem to be US based.

All i want is a import company that have the games ready to ship from the UK rather than have to wait a week for something to get shipped from the US.

Thanks in advnace.

http://www.newageconsoles.com - havn't delt with them for ages (use to get my dc imports there, pretty decent)

http://www.jpngames.co.uk/ - i've never personally ordered from them, but they came recomended from a friend, worth giving a try.

Thanks for you responses - i will take a look.

i find it quite annoying when you look on ebay and see a DS games for £22.99 buy it now only to read they are gonna charge £10-15 delivery from the US.

There are a couple of people on ebay selling games @ £35 with £15 shipping charge . . . .scandalous :-) !

There's a canadian site www.dvdboxoffice.com which offers free worldwide shipping and you can veiw the prices in £'s. Have ordered from there before. Most DS games are under 20 quid. Also you can choose to pay in Canadian or US dollars so you can get an even better deal depending on exchange rates. It does take a couple of weeks to arrive though.

The best place to buy DS games is from http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-10f6-71-8s-84-k.html (Play Asia - direct link to DS page)

They are very customer friendly and deliver within 7 days (normally about 4). Also they are very cheap.

Example: I just bought Mario 64 from them. The game itself cost £21.29 (which is excellent) and the delivery was only £1.39! That's cheaper than if you were ordering from a company in the UK!

My advice, go Play Asia!

I love Final Fantasy, VII rocks, VIII rocks, IX sucks and X is just amazing, the older ones are ok but I'm not that into em. I'm happy to know that there will be a FF title for the DS, but also annoyed to find out it'll be the Crystal Chronicals *:(. Ah well

YAY!!!! According to Lik-Sang Final Fantasy III will be coming out for the DS ;D, who knows they might re-make it into a game like FF7 +. You know with 3D graphics instead of birdseye 2d

DVDBO are OK but I've heard of some realllly long delivery times.

www.Videogamesplus.ca are extremely fast. I've never had a problem for them and I order all my PS2 and Gamecube games from there.
