Anyone know of any import game stores within a 50-100 mile radius of LA? I know of Hyper-game-action but looking for other ones. Specifically ones with websites with store phone numbers so I can call before making a 50+ mile trek =P

Hyper Game is now Game House, they'll be in the phone book under that name. You can also try Japan Video Games in Pasadena, www.japanvideogames.com.

DFS.

We carry imports at my work, but the owner wants $80 apiece for them.

My discount varies from game to game, most I pay is $60.

Where do you work?

Personally I'm looking around for someplace that got XSep2 today and if I found one I wouldn't mind paying around ~$100. All the places I've called say thurs/fri though which is no better than NCSX's thurs estimate

You can try Cosmo games in Westwood on Westwood Blvd. Don't have a phone number on me, but you can find one through a careful google search. I've done it.

T-Games on Sawtelle Blvd. (West LA) is like a Hyper Game that went off on its own.

Might want to try Gameland in Torrance on Hawthorne Blvd. I think they're down to one store now.

Wow! I totally remember that place, both that store and the one down the street (owned by the same people) was were I bought all my PC-Engine stuff years and years ago. I thought for sure they would be out of business by now, but it's great that they're not...

I go to Hyper Game on Sawtelle occasionally, but they are a bit expensive. I usually import directly from Japan.

 

[BeOnEdge]

japan videogames is the best. i buy all my imports there almost exclusively.

 

[Defensor]

heh, I go to the Game X in Puente Hills sometimes.

I bought my Japanese Dreamcast at Game Star. There's also Game Domain in Glendale on Colorado, accross from the Glendale Galeria. I'm not sure if it's still called game domain, but I used to buy stuff there all the time.

I just want to say that Game Dude is without a doubt the sleaziest game shop I've ever been to in my whole life. It's worth a visit just for that.

At no other game store did I have to sign a contract when paying for a game with cash.
