cheapest place to get ntsc/u wii games?

[boxhead]

I bought my wii ages ago when games were relitively cheap to buy from canada but now, on videogamesplus etc, they are about ?40 before shipping! does anyone know of anywhere else that might be cheaper? I don't exactly want to sell my us wii and get a pal one as it's got about 30 games...

Do you care if the games are pal or ntsc? If not, then softmod it and then you have the choice. Sorry I can't answer about best place - I always use VG+

exchange are exchange rates nothing you can do about them, apart from hope they get better again, but ?15 more for each game compared to 18 months ago is a killer, is it easy to softmod it to run all region games then.

Tronix is cheaper than VGP these days, exchange rate is more favourable against the US dollar than the Canadian dollar. If you grab 2-3 games at a time the FedEx shipping works out really cheaply. Less so if you get stung on customs, mind. Service from Tronix has always been great for me. NCSX are similarly good, but usually a little pricier.

Movietyme are a good choice to avoid customs, but delivery times are longer. Their offer prices work out well too.

I would be wary of soft-modding the Wii for multi-region-ness, there are always some games that crash when booting on the wrong region machine, and there is always the chance Nintendo will lock you out of the shop or other online features at some point.
