    It's been a while since I have placed an order for gaming merchandise online. I used to use Lik-Sang and Lan-kwei. Seeing as they are both out of business now, who do you guys recommend?

    Not looking for any specific items, just looking to blow a good deal of money on miscellaneous cross platform goods.

    I would use a wide range of things. New things will pretty much always be more expensive, but for used games: EB/Gamestop and Gamefly might be good to check out. I just got a 5-game order today from EB and they combine shipping at one single flat rate (Meaning you can abuse the overnight shipping cost if you order multiple things at once). Gamefly can also be cheaper then EB/Gamestop at times, but I am not sure if they ship the box with it or not.

    For older things, Amazon and possibly playasia are good, and then there is always ebay.

    Edit: A little more info. I've bought from EB, Playasia, Ebay, and Amazon. EB has been fine for me so far, I got 4/5 cases with my order (Although the instructions were missing from one of them, and all of them was covered in stickers). I only ordered once from Playasia, but the order came in fine. Ebay can be random, although the feedback system works out better and you see the item. Amazon should always be the last resort.

    Thanks Jason I appreciate the response and insight.

    I generally avoid EB out of principal... Other than that I just can't seem to find an online shop that has what I want. I'd like a largeish selection of older console and especially handheld goods. They also need to sell imports as I am looking for some WonderSwan and Saturn games.

    Oh and anyplace that sells misc. mod products such as PSP tv out, backup devices, flash carts and various mod chips is A OK in my book.

    Playasia would be your best bet, then (They have wonderswan and saturn). I had no problems with them the few times I did buy from them.

    Well, at least for the imports and Wonderswan games. I thought they had a larger north American selection, but apperantly not (I always ordered imports from them).

    I too am looking for an online retailer, and one that sells Korean PSP games. I really need the game DJ Max Portable 2, but Play-Asia won't ship to the EU no more and I haven't found any other shop that sells it. Perhaps anyone here knows one?

    What the fuck? When did Play-Asia stop shipping to the EU, and why?
