i found this site being advertised on qj(science section) and it cought my eye when i saw a psp battery, so i went there and it looks like a copy of dealextreme . It seems they use ups and they offer free shipping

,

update: this site is no scam and is faster than dx at shipping.

Only one way to find out, isnt there? Just order something cheap, take free shipping, and see for yourself.

Somewhat limited selection though...and low price PSP batteries = EPIC FAILURES. Dont even try those.

sakobatoneko · « **Reply #2 on:** July 29, 2008, 07:44:02 PM »

i would try but i dont want to put my information, just in case its a scam.

LeadBaron · « **Reply #3 on:** July 29, 2008, 07:57:55 PM »

True...and there isnt actually any reviews on the site, is there?

I say stick to DX, this seems to good to be true, so it probably is.

sakobatoneko · « **Reply #4 on:** July 29, 2008, 08:23:04 PM »

yeah, ill just keep an eye out on it to see if they have reviews on there soon. That site looks new thou since it only has a few things.

folklord36 · « **Reply #5 on:** July 29, 2008, 09:31:14 PM »

Sure its real I just ordered a battery for my phat a 2200 mah one and i talked to a person on the live support and confirmed with him that i will recive a factory sony battery just like i would buy in walmart. I bet he kinda hated me at first because i was like interrogating him and he showed me some reviews on products and they take pay pal so no real fear of them stealing info i also ordered a soft pouch so we will see i figured id be the one to test it.

sakobatoneko · « **Reply #6 on:** July 29, 2008, 10:27:50 PM »

its paypal verified, i checked and paypal showed me his email,verification, and paypal account sign up date.
so yeah i think its reliable. But i also checked where they shipped and they didn't mention USA, what do they use to ship? ups?

folklord36 · « **Reply #7 on:** July 30, 2008, 06:17:27 AM »

it says they ship world wide idk how they ship im not worried about it i will forget i even ordered it tomarrow and ill be surprised when it gets hereonly spent 4 dollars so decent prices.

EPIC FAIL do not trust this site...they don't even know how to put the skin on the wiimote

folklord36 · « **Reply #9 on:** August 03, 2008, 07:02:04 PM »

I strongly disagree i think that actually validates they not like stealing pics or putting up generic pics like E-bay or other sites. They simply rushed in taking pics of inventory and who cares wii is gay so the person didn't know how to put it on and rushed in taking a pic big deal. That dose not mean you should not buy from a site i mean price is good and well see when my stuff gets here if its a scam but it is better then some sites that probably spend no more than 4 dollars at the absolute maximum to make a make or buy a pcb and sell it for almost 30 dollars. or any other site that is exploiting their access to cheaply made products to sell at least double what they paid for them it is really up to you what you think a scam is

ApheX · « **Reply #10 on:** August 04, 2008, 07:44:32 AM »

You really can't jugde a company on 'one' picture. i'm sure it is fine. folklord, didn't you buy a battery from this place?

some wii remotes are shaped like that some off brand manufactures make that shape

rofl

They put it on wrong.

folklord36 · « **Reply #13 on:** August 05, 2008, 01:43:43 PM »

umm ok i know that but my point was that its up to you if you think that its a scam for some companys to completly exploit their coustomers with profits of up to 4 times the cost of their product that is kinda drastic but yes i realize a company must make some profit to keep runing why do you allways have such a argumentative attitude there's 2 ways to look at everything ya know.

Well i recuved my items and they are indeed sony products the sock and a 2200mAh batt for 5 bucks not bad and shipping is way faster then dx

sakobatoneko · « **Reply #14 on:** August 06, 2008, 01:44:41 AM »

nice, ill be buying from there

ApheX · « **Reply #15 on:** August 06, 2008, 04:57:38 AM »

yeah, i think i might do the same if delivery is faster.

treemty · « **Reply #16 on:** August 18, 2008, 08:51:39 PM »

most amazing website ever ups-freeshipping=heaven dirt cheap items no shipping charges not a scam plus you have paypal to back you up!

sethion · « **Reply #17 on:** August 20, 2008, 08:17:45 AM »

Amazing value for money from what i can see,

wtfisausername · « **Reply #18 on:** August 24, 2008, 02:50:22 AM »

dang, prices are very similar to dx's. especially those soft pouches. theres 2 shell for the ds, the blue one doesnt look glossy like original ones, but it could be the flash. they also reuse pict, like the blue shell the back is matted, and on the orig looking black one it looks exactly the same as the matted ones. it does seem like a new site though.

lol at the wiimote.

thanks for sharing this site.

Edit: they sell items saying they are sony, although it isn't. Like the psp extended batteries, those are not genuine, but unlike dx they dont photoshop the pict and stuff like remove sony from the description. They also sell some wii chips and also SEEM to see some fake ds games.

sakobatoneko · « **Reply #19 on:** August 25, 2008, 09:03:03 PM »

it seems like focalprice is slowly looking like dx, they just added psp slim parts and ds housing different ones than dx. as for slim parts there are umd doors, analog sticks, and battery caps oh and theres a d-pad, abxy, homebar ribbon package!! this is awesome

MattZani · « **Reply #20 on:** August 30, 2008, 12:48:06 PM »

Just ordered a couple things from here.

Finger Mouse ($6, why not?)
USB Vacuum (Good idea)
Red PSP Slim Triggers (Yeah, im selling my Famicon Slim, but i bet these will look hawt in it!)
15" MBP Slip Case (Has Apple Logo on it ^^)

sakobatoneko · « **Reply #21 on:** August 30, 2008, 02:24:10 PM »

cool, focal price has released some awesome stuff, some of them dx doesnt even have them. they released red/blue triggers for slim, umd door rings(in colors), $46 lcd screen with backlight for slim!!. This is turning better than dx.

Tri-edge · « **Reply #22 on:** August 30, 2008, 04:49:16 PM »

I wish I know about this before I paid $10 for the triggers at psxboy....

sakobatoneko · « **Reply #23 on:** August 30, 2008, 06:51:59 PM »

This has been up for a month.

Tri-edge · « **Reply #24 on:** August 30, 2008, 09:01:38 PM »

no not that. I wish I knew about the triggers and the ring before I order the shell from DX

sakobatoneko · « **Reply #25 on:** August 30, 2008, 09:04:01 PM »

oh i see. well what case did you buy?

Tri-edge · « **Reply #26 on:** August 30, 2008, 10:45:11 PM »

I bought the metallic blue one for $20
and I bought the triggers at psxboy for $10
I wish I had know about this earlier, I could have gotten all of the stuff I wanted for like $5

MattZani · « **Reply #27 on:** August 31, 2008, 11:05:17 AM »

I'll do a quick review of the stuff when it arrives.

sakobatoneko · « **Reply #28 on:** September 01, 2008, 12:44:23 AM »

how many people have ordered from here now? whats your opinion, better than dx, equal?

@ mattzani what did you buy?

psp339 · « **Reply #29 on:** September 16, 2008, 07:52:06 PM »

I think the time to ship to your house is about the same as DX because both sites ship from Hong Kong.

sakobatoneko · « **Reply #30 on:** September 17, 2008, 07:47:04 PM »

I ordered 1 item from each site(dx,focalprice) and focalprice item came before dxs, then i ordered another item (dx package hasnt arrive yet) and again focalprice item beat dx at shipping and dx package arrived the same day as the 2nd item i bought from focal price.

psp339 · « **Reply #31 on:** September 18, 2008, 04:44:07 PM »

Where you from and how long it took for it to come to your house? I might order some screen protectors and other stuff from focalprice because the screen protectors are only 50 cents.

sakobatoneko · « **Reply #32 on:** September 18, 2008, 10:05:38 PM »

im from cali it take me 1 week and maybe an extra day sometimes. Ibough 3 psp slim screen protectors and 1 ds screen protecters, they are really good protectors even tho i bought them to make screen protectors for my cell phone.

psp339 · « **Reply #33 on:** September 18, 2008, 11:35:49 PM »

I'm from Cali too

I'll get some screen protectors when I run out of the ones I bought off DX.

sakobatoneko · « **Reply #34 on:** September 22, 2008, 08:06:27 PM »
