Forums - Gaming - Importing US games - need new stores.. planetAxel went bankcrupt

So planetAxel went bankcrupt last week, and now I'm a sad panda... -_-"

Can anyone recommend an alternative US game store that ships overseas?

Why do u import US games when it's much cheaper from the UK?



Like Slimebeast said, it's easier, and more than likely cheaper importing from the U.K. I've done it for years.



^^ that... I also buy from the UK at zavvi, theHut etc... But sometimes there is just a game that doesn't get released or like 6 months later in the EU and then I import them from the US like Tales of Graces F PS3 or a lot of DS games

Okay. What about the deliveries? Have they always been reliable (both from the US and UK)?

Well that's actually why I asked the question.. I kinda would like a solid big company.. not a tiny website from someones basement... because of the deliviries. UK deliveries are solid,mostly a week untill it arrives.. Zavvi and theHut are the 2 I used the most from the UK..  also the PlayAsia delivery are solid.. PlanetAxel was pretty good, but sometimes the package got stuck at the border securties and you could wait for it a few weeks extra.. but it would always arrive..
