Has anyone ever ordered from www.buygame2.com?

Post by DrTrouserPlank »

Wondering if anyone has any experience with ordering from them as their prices seem pretty good if it's genuine.

I know the site looks a bit amateur, but hey ho here's the English link

http://www.buygame2.com/en/index.php

Any experiences welcomed.

I have ordered from them a few times and have never experienced any problems. That being said, shipping is sometimes quite a bit more than other shops. Other times it's fine.

I've checked them out before, and they have wanted around 40 or so dollars for shipping a single game, I'd say pass unless you are really close to them.

Well they seem pretty cheap to me.

I can get DDP DFK 1.5 shipped for $60 which is cheaper than anywhere. Similarly for black label.

Their 250gig NTSC-J console with a game is just over $400 shipped via courier which is once again so much cheaper than anywhere else.

I don't know where you are shopping if that seems expensive.

$60 shipped for any cave import is a good deal if you ask me. Still overpriced I think, but that's based on principle. It's still cheaper relative to what you would normally pay.

I don't think that's a bad price. That's the equivalent of what I'd pay for a new release of any game in the UK.

If all CAVE games were that price it wouldn't be such an expensive hobby. New releases from cave tend to be around $85 by the time I've shipped it even with standard airmail (give or take a bit here and there.)

The new releases are too expensive if I'm honest, but that's the price they charge online, so if you want to play them that's what you've got to pay.. not much you can do about it.

Still a bit dubious about this site. The console seems too cheap to be true. I'm still waiting to see if the included game is indeed a free choice as their site seems to suggest, or if it's just an old game.

shit's over priced but if what can you do about it? The NA Deathsmiles was only $49.99 though, and it came with the OST and a faceplate. Man would that be nice if all 360 shmups were like that.

I'm waiting for Rising Star Games to announce their 2011-2012 line-up of games. They are the only hope of getting CAVE games released in Europe and whilst they are (obviously) going to announce one CAVE localisation (probably DS2) what they announce will dictate whether I drop the money for a NTSC-J machine and then all the associated imported games that are already released and hopefully those that may come over the coming years, or whether I just take what I can get locally and save the expense.

I'm conflicted. If they announce DS2 only (as I expect them to) then I'll buy a JAP 360. If they announce Ds2 with akai katana or DDPDFK to follow 6 months later then it really puts me in a bind.

How many will they localise?, how long will it take?.. how many more will CAVE release by the time they've localised titles for 2 years ago.?

TBH I'm procrastinating. I want an NTSC-J 360... I'm just unsure that it really represents "value"
