UK Import Store Recommendations

[Phar]

Just wondering if anyone knows of any online stores based in the UK who have import games actually in stock, preferably with JPN Wii games, I usually stick to places like Playasia and Yesasia but on the odd occasion when I've wanted something next day I've used Genki and Videogameimports, their the only ones I know of and they have a limited selection for Wii games.

Thanks for that mate, just had a look, although they don't have any JPN wii software they've got some decent stuff on there, I'll keep it bookmarked

Times have a changed I'm afraid. There are very few stores left compared to even ten years ago. Unless you have a DeLorean, you're best off using teh intertron.

It's a shame there are less and less about, I suppose the extra cost of competing against these stores based in Hong Kong and the quicker release dates don't help, It's nice to be able to buy something online and get it the next day though, just bought Ghost Squad from Genki yesterday and it's already here

Raven Games' prices are questionable, but their repairs & mods service is excellent.

I'd personally have to agree with J0e - the internet has pretty much killed the import store as far as the UK is concerned. If you're in London, your best best is Game Focus on Charlotte Street in the West End, and even their prices might be a little on the side of dubious (E.g. - I've seen used import DS games going for up to ?45 fairly recently).
