If you want to buy a VGM album, or in fact anything anime or vg related, this shop is fantastic.

They delivered to me in the UK in under 2 weeks.

If you have any other online stores like this, post them here.

I once ordered from GKWorld approx. three years ago. It was for a Final Fantasy X Bahamut T-shirt. After a few days after I ordered, they-emailed me telling me they didn't have it.

Coincidentally enough, they had a couple on Ebay for a higher price than what they wanted for it on their site.

What are you basing that on?

I ordered FF 20020220, Jet Set Radio OST, Ocarina of Time OST & Blood: the Last Vampire OST. All of them are 100% authentic. Either that, or bootlegs of enough quality to warrant the price.

They delivered to me in the UK, on the basic postal plan, in 2 weeks just in time for Christmas 2004, where the average time to deliver they said was 6-8 weeks.

I think for the price I paid I got excellent products and an excellent service.

The CDs are exact copies of the original, so of course the quality is fine. But based on the fact that they are $10 new (unheard of in Japan -- CDs are at least $20 there, but $30 on average), and that some of them clearly have the label of the bootleg company on it (SM or EverAnime are some of the common ones; I can also see the smiley face logo on many of their CDs that's from another bootleg company), these cannot be authentic. I'm sure the store has excellent service, but their goods are of questionable legality. :/

Of course, if this doesn't bother you, then carry on. I can't force you not to buy them. :) But I just wanted to make sure people were aware of this before placing an order with them.

Here's a FAQ on pirated goods (http://www.digital.anime.org.uk/piratefaq.html) if you're interested.

I'd stay away from bootlegs as well. If you are going to buy a CD, better buy an authentic CD or stick with mp3s if you can't afford authentic.

Alas, so many don't know how to spot the bootlegs that they end up collecting them thinking they have a treasure :/ Maybe we should host an article about the differences on rpgn someplace. ^-^

Maybe.

In the meantime Chudah Corner also has some info about that. Check! (http://www.chudahs-corner.com/reference/bootleggers.html)

To be honest the cds being pirated doesn't bother me. I don't buy them because they're so *rare*, I get them because I cant be bothered to download them and burn them to a disc myself.

first of all i would say any cheap game and computer store would be the best in the Universe, but, if ebay is classed as a store then that is the best also.

Everybody knows the best store in the whole wide world is The Home Depot, 'cause that's where my brother works!

Well, that and Video Exclusive, but that's for a more adult reason.

YES YES YES.

Silver hit the nail on the head there, good going. Candy stores are THE BEST, i love Candy especially British Candy its much stronger and sweeter than american/canadian candy.
