I remember reading somewhere on this forum that you can get games quite cheap in Turkey. Hopefully someone else will reply with more info. I certainly plan to stock up for my kids if they are cheap enough

You can buy gameboy fakes in marmaris very cheaply - would suggest you take your console with you and test that they work before buying them

Bought my godson loads before - and 9/10 times they work perfectly!!

I was in Icmeler and Olu in May of this year my son has a DS and they didn't have any of these games anywhere not even in the bazaar in Marmaris we bought 8 in Icmeler market for 5 pounds each we checked every one and they were fine, we have bought games from this guy before they were the same in Marmaris bazaar although they did try and charge 7.00 at first until we told him we normally pay 5.00 but in Olu they were asking 10 pounds each but we only saw one place with them so well supply and demand.

You can buy them anywhere, just take your Gameboy with you and try them before you buy, the ones with no problems wont mind you doing that as we did last year, If they dont let you try then dont buy its as simple as that.

We bought some last year from the bazaar at Marmaris. Tried them out before we bought them and they worked fine. However after playing the game for a while they then just stop as if they have only copied half the game. Of course only found out once we were back home. My youngest doesn't notice the difference but the oldest does and it's put him off buying any this year - unless anyone can recommend a place?

Icmeler market down the stairs by the chinese if you are coming from the chinese its the 1st set of stairs almost to the end on the left this year he is selling handbags and shoes we have always used them and never had a problem we did try a motorbike game whilst we were there and all of them didnt work he took them off the shelves we have always used him and the games have been fine

Agree with last comment, we bought from the same guy in the market, down stairs, our grandson, nine, bargained with him got down to £4, not bad for a few hours enjoyment

We have just returned from Side and bought lots of Advance games (copies) as usual for around £5. We were told they haven't quite got the technology right in copying the DS games but will have by next season.

We managed to buy a Sony PSP in Side, which aren't yet available in the UK, and ordered some games which were couriered to us from Istanbul, which delighted my 14 year old son. Apparently, the copy games for the PSP should also be available by next summer.

We bought a Sony PSP in Side last week and the games we bought for it had to be sent by courier from Istanbul. We were told by the shopkeeper that it would be next summer before they have the technology to make their own DS and PSP games ..... my son is already insisting we go back to Turkey again next year and we've only been back a day!
