Portablegamestore.com?

[Level Jumper]

I was just wondering if anyone here has ever ordered anything from portablegamestore.com before. I've been looking for a few games for GBA and I googled "buy gameboy advance games" and this is one of the sites that came up in the sponsored links section. Is it a reliable site? Are the games new? Everything appears to be legit, but I was just wondering. Can anyone answer me for sure, I really don't want to give my money to a place w/ no reputation or a bad reputation.

this probably belongs in the deal discussion forum, though.

EDIT: toooootally thought this was in a different forum when i posted that.

I didn't think it did, as it wasn't really a deal. I was really wondering the quality of the seller. The only thing that worries me is the one guy saying he thinks the stuff is pirated. I sent an e-mail to their customer service, I'll see what I hear back from them before making my decision. Thanks for the help though, Shmitty.

I heard the same thing -- that they sold bootleg GBA games. I personally don't trust 'em.

Damn, that sucks if it's true. I thought I'd finally found a decently priced complete copy of Golden Sun.

Okay, I looked for Mega Man Zero and found MMZ 2... the box art appears to be a photo of an actual game they have... it's not the real art, it's blurrier than it should be even for a scan, and there's no Capcom logo. Saying "Language: English" is also suspect. Selling this rare game for $16 is also something that's too good to be true (though I got a sealed, official copy of it for $15 last week courtesy of Ebay...) Don't even try these guys.

Well, if it's any consolation, Half.com has some guy selling a complete copy for $30 shipped.

 

[Level Jumper]

Well then does anyone know where I can get a complete copy of Golden Sun for $30 or less?

I had placed an order with them but I read a thread on here about how their games were bootlegs. I emailed them and their only response was "The games are supplied by our distributor in factory sealed conditions". Needless to say, I cancelled the order. I think the consensus is that the games are bootlegs.

 

[Level Jumper]

That sucks then. I really want to get Golden Sun, but I can't find a complete copy anywhere near me and I don't want to pay $40 for it.

did you miss my post?

The store is based in Hong Kong. Also, notice the lack of any addresses and contact information on the site aside from the email address.

I did miss your post, sorry.

The best place to games are Amazon.com or Ebay. Import games most times are bootleg when sold by oversea venders.
