Importing games: Is this web site for real?

I just happened to stumble onto this website... it's unreal... they deal in US and Japanese games/systems and even sell converters... the games appear to be authentic and new to boot. Not just modern day systems, but NES; Famicom, Mega Drive ect. Is this too good to be true? Opinions, please.

Need a bit of help guys, what exactly do I need (other than a modchip) to play import games? Any of the adapters at that site will do? (hope hope hope, man I hope I can use something that doesn't require soldering and tearing apart my ps2--which I did before finding out I bought the wrong modchip for my ps2 version >_<)

I've been doing research, and appareantly, you need to excercise caution when buying from buy rite, since they seem to be notorious for ripping people off. (One guy got charged $600 to his credit card!!!) It's a shame. Oh, well. Hopefully there are other sites out there that carry Famicom imports.

Yay! Yoy guys found out about Buy Rite dot net! It is a safe site, well at least 3 years ago.. It has every game for ever system (yet it seem...) But when they created there new layout and new URL .net the prices went up! Not the prices of the games, but the Shipping!! Otherwise I alway buy from there (3 times) and they only riped me off at the shipping and handling part. I bought from Money Order, I didn't use credit card.. Well, yeah all the games they have are real.

About the imported games and what you need to play them, for Gamecube they have a boot disk aka conveter. For $19.99. You need to buy that first before you play a GC imported game.

For other concerns about boots/converters/mods pm me. :sweat:

What exactly are the shipping costs?

Awesome site. Their selection is quite impressive, and the shipping info page doesn't reveal anything suspicious from my cursory inspection. This may just replace Ebay as my source for games... :grin:

Edit: The only thing that I don't like about the site is the lack of an alphabetic ordering/search feature for quick browsing. That makes searching through the 20 or so pages of PS2 games quite a chore.

I didn't see any alphabetic ordering thing but there is a search box at the top of the screen so if you have a game in mind, you can search for it.

Yeah...I realize that that was a rather akward way of expressing what I wanted to say. What I meant was that the games are not listed in alphabetical order on the website, and they do not allow you to browse games by title alphabetically, making it difficult to find exactly what you want without using the other search feature.

Postby **MasterDias** » Mon Feb 23, 2004 2:54 pm

Ah, okay.

That is somewhat of a drawback.

The search feature is a bit off, I gotta admit. It doesn't give exact matches, and when I searched for a specific game it gave a lot of references that had nothing to do with that game (aside from maybe the system it was on) and then that game was at the bottom of the second page of references.

I wonder if these guys have a resellerratings profile? *runs to check*

Whoa. Yeah... they've got a profile all right... check this out...

Wow...I'm glad I didn't buy anything from them.

That's plain bad...

It's a shame though. I have no idea where I'm going to get my Famicom Disk system other than eBay...

Postby **Debitt** » Mon Feb 23, 2004 6:28 pm

Wow, I've never seen ANYTHING on the internet with this many bad reviews as this site. Glad I only buy my video games from big chain stores like BestBuy. >>;;

I'm REALLY hoping this is an honest site, I may attempt importing a TwinFamicom system when I get my next paycheck.

It's HK based, but everything shown is legit.
