Buying DS games online from US??

[arieliwish]

Hi guys,
I'm sure one of you clever chaps will be able to help me out here!

My kids are wanting a DS game each with xmas money their grandad gave them and we've been looking at various sites online to find a good deal. However, all the sites have the games at the same price £24.99. Unable to help myself (!) with the exchange rate being so good, I looked on Walmart site and the same game was $29 - unbelievable!! Couldn't find any international shipping info though.

So here's my question - has anyone found/used a US games site that delivers to the UK with reaonable postage so as to make it worth our while??

Cheers,

Lynn

I use DVD Box Office for DVD's and games. It's Canadian based (so the exchange rate isn't as good as the USA) but it's a reliable site and I've only had good service from them. One neat item on their site is the ability to change currency displays - so you get to see what you'll be paying in £'s instead of $'s.

Each item takes around three weeks to arrive though so you've missed Christmas but they package everything up individually so it avoids the customs tax

Some of the good titles ...

Trauma Centre for £20.46
Fifa 07 for £19.98
Yoshis Island 2 for £20.95 ...

... all including delivery from Canada

I've been looking on some us sites to for Ds games the only thing i'd say is if you go over the £18 mark or $32, you might get stung by customs.

Try www.axelmusic.com or www.movietyme.com

I've bought from movietyme but not axelmusic and they both seem competitively priced

Not, ultimately, sure where either are based

I was in the Virgin Megastore earlier today and some of their DS games are Buy 1 Get 1 Free.

Obviously, its only as good as the ones you want being on offer and having a Virgin store nearby.

Now this may sound like a stupid question, but do DS games have different regions? Have been looking at your suggestions - thanks guys - and can't believe the prices!! Movietyme (north america) has sims 2 pets for £16.99 - DELIVERED!!!! HOW??? That's the one I can't find online here any cheaper than 24.99.

I'll see how impatient my children are, but I may just order from them!

Thanks guys,

Lynn

I ordered a Sims 2 DS game from Movietyme and the delivery was really quick
If you click on the 'contact us' button on the site the address for UK customers is actually in Staffordshire although it does say delivery is from the US and takes 3-14 days

Just ordered a couple of CDs from CD Wow (Hong Kong) and delivery was within the week

Thanks guys
