jap ps1 games - where to buy?

[muse hunter]

trying to get into the jap ps1, but i don't know many places that have decent stocks of jap ps1 games, ebay are useless.

So anyone here know any decent places to purchase jap ps1 games?

Thanks for any replies

Well if you want to buy in the uk, vgi are the only place i know of with a decent selection. The best option is to get em direct from sellers based in japan or international ebay sellers. Id also like to hear about any good uk jpn ps1 sellers.

i buy from vgi once in a while, but you will need pretty deep pockets if you want to buy from them regularly.

They're scarcer for a number of reasons. One being that people have less reason to get rid of them since they can still be played on PS2.

Play-asia sell them too and are generally cheaper than VGI, but JP sellers on ebay is the best place to get them.

These all sell PS1 games regularly and there's plenty more. Do a Worldwide search for "JP" or "Japan" (not JAP) PlayStation/PS1 etc

You'll miss out on quite a bit by not using "jap" - no matter how you view the word, thats how many people list

Personally, I when searching for japanese games I use a string like "(jp, jpn, jap, japan, japanese) saturn".

Anything within brackets, seperated by a comma will be treated as OR choices

More concisely you could type "(jp*,jap*) saturn" using your example. Occasionally you'll find some people who use "ntscj" or "ntsc-j" instead.

Ah good idea.

I did use to search for ntsc-j, so i'm not sure why i forget to do it now

I know, but Japanese sellers don't use the term, so you'll find nothing from them.
A "JAP" search just returns stuff mostly from Europeans.

True, but if you use the (a,b,c) type string alongside a worldwide search, then you wont miss a thing
