Best online shop for videogame OST CDs?

[Decider-VT]

I've had a hankering for CDs of classic soundtracks recently and I'd really like to find somewhere reliable that exports to the UK. Are there any de facto outlets that people usually use? eBay has always seemed to be rife with counterfeit copies of soundtracks, so I'd prefer to buy from somewhere reputable.

My last order was Play Asia I think.

They have a few bits and pieces in stock but not a really huge range, unless I'm content to wait for months. Was hoping to find CDs of Lost Odyssey, Shenmue, etc. (Even though the latter is likely to be out of print.)

You could try CDJapan. Must admit it has been some years since I ordered from them but they used to have a fantastic selection.

Thanks, looks like they still have quite a lot. Hopefully it's not all Monster Hunter, MGS or moe game OSTs.

Play-Asia's always been decent for this, I've found. The downside being they don't keep stock levels particularly high, so it's a bit of a lottery as to what you can get and when you can get it, but they have a pretty huge back catalogue of things and can slim the offerings down by availability if need be. You mentioned Lost Odyssey - it's available here (and is very good, for the record). Some of the other usual suspects (Nin-Nin, YesAsia, AmiAmi) stock a few too, but I've found Play-Asia much better in this regard.

If you're after Square-Enix stuff, their own EU web store sells a good (but far from complete) range of things too.

I have an unplayed 1999 Music CD titled "Wipeout The Music", it features Orbital, Underworld, Propellerheads, Paul Van Dyk, etc. Is this the sort of thing you want to collect?

Amazon Japan is another place you could look.

Seconded. Amazon JP marketplace is a pretty good source for anything. This requires a Tenso forwarding address, though. Highly recommended for any importer!!

Looks like I'll need to get my forwarding address sorted, then. I should probably get one of those services set up soon anyway, as I'm always meaning to.

Didn't know about this, thanks! Going to have a look here too.

Haha, wasn't that on the front of Arcade magazine? I remember them mixing it all into one track, for reasons that are probably too 90s and club-oriented for me to fully recollect.

Yep thats the one
