    Just wondering where's the cheapest/reliable place to pick up ds games online

    There's lik-sang, play-asia, ebay, play, sendit and blahdvd that I know of

    Is there any american sites perhaps with cheaper games?

    Cd Wow is pretty cheap 30-35 euro for most of them.

    And there are some cheap games on Play.com as part of their sale

    Movie Tyme are great for US DS games. €30 at most, including shipping, and they're pretty fast at delivering new releases. (I think they order in bulk from America and then ship from the UK.)

    Cheers arse. Thats kinda what I was looking for. New releases are £20 or €29 and delivery is free. Lets see if anyone else knows any other sites that can beat €29 delivered. Pick something like the new mario bros for a price comparison

    If you are buying off Play you are probably better off paying in Sterling, I bought Tetris last week, it was qouted as €40 but by paying in sterling it only cost me €36.50...mind the pennies etc. etc.

    I'd recommend movietyme too.

    Just bought Brain Training there for a great price and the shipping is fairly quick.

    CD Wow have gone to hell of late.
    They used to deliver in under a week but the last 3 orders I've placed have taken 2-3 weeks and one was even lost in the post.

    Bloody big fall from grace :mad:

    How is it their fault?

    The database on their site has been incredibly inconsistent lately. I placed 2 orders and they never showed up on my order page. Not even their staff were able to locate them but they were eventually sent anyway.

    Funny how items from any other website have been delivered as quickly and reliably as usual while CD Wow have gone downhill.

    It's obviously a problem on their end.

    What are you?
    A CD Wow fanboy or something? Can the company do no wrong in your eyes?
    I've never come across someone that retarded before.

    I had to get 2 ds games resent from cdwow recently ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,782 ✭✭✭Xterminator


    I belive in naming and shaming ok, but let the blame fall where its due.

    I have bought 100's of dvd's and games from play/cdwow etc.
    And yes delivery can take ages but with cdwow, your informed when its posted, and after that its out of their hands.

    If it doesnt arrive, they send you another, what more can they do?

    In your original post you complained about the delivery time and the time one was lost in the post, so that is what i was responding to. You never mentioned anything about database problems,

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 760 ✭✭✭TheAlmightyArse


    Yes, the only "hidden cost" is a small fee if you want to pay using PayPal or Nochex (which is entirely optional, you can also pay directly using a credit card like any other online shop).
