daisyclarke Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Hi All I am new to this gaming world but I have two kids that are growing up. I have been surfing and found this site gamexarea.com. I'm looking to buy some Ds Lites for the kids and the prices seem to be very cheap with the game and free gift. I have mentioned this to friends and they would buy some at this price. I have two questions really-: 1/ Could you buy several consoles and put on one invoice to avoid the extra wire transfers. 2/Is it a real company or a scam no-one i know have dealt with them. Anyone been brave enough to deal with them? Many Thanks Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/624944-gamexarea/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
PL_ Veteran Posted March 11, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 11, 2008 ?98 AND a free gift? Sounds a bit suspect to me...everywhere I've seen in the UK has them at either the same price as oaboveb> the RRP. I don't see why it'd be much different in the rest of Europ:/:/ I just looked it up, and apparently the RRP in Euros is ?150, so that's 1/3 off...sounds very suspect, but maybe somebody here has actually bought from them befo:p? :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/624944-gamexarea/#findComment-589263967 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hekkyUK Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I haven't used them myself but theres another thread on Neowin about buying Playstation 3s from them (for ?240 inc VAT and delivery with Uncharted) As the company is in France I emailed them to ask about the PS3 plug and import and their reply was: Hello Dan and thank you for contacting GameXarea.com! The version of the Playstation 3 console we will send you will be the same as the one sold in UK. We have a stock of consoles for different countries. There are no import duties since the console will be shipped from France. Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of any further assistance.

daisyclarke Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 Thankyou. Both for replying, I am not brave enough to use this company. I found them advertising on a wholesale site (Which I subscribe too) as I deal in something completly different.

iconoclast Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Sounds scam to me. Screw cheapest prices and buy from a reputable site. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/624944-gamexarea/#findComment-589266997 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GameXarea is a scam. I tried it dispate the fact it was to obvious. If it sounds to good to be true it often is.

PiracyX Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Yea i was the one that found the PS3 deal but after looking at the site more closely i choose not to even bother and i would rather just pay the extra cost personally. I would go somewhere like GAME to be honest. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/624944-gamexarea/#findComment-589386845 Share on other sites More sharing options...
