Where do you get your import games, and accessories.
I am looking for import games, and accessories like replacement cases, and modchips and stuff. Would also like bulk discounts if they have them. I've been getting my modchips from consolesource, but wanted some other sites also.

Here are a few sites you can try...
Best U.S. based online import stores:
National Console Support (NCSX)
Buyrite
Well-known online retailers out of Hong Kong:
MicMic
Golden Shop
Warning: Despite the two above HK-based retailers are reliable, importing from Hong Kong is always risky, not to mention pricey for shipping.
As for mod chips and such, I always tell people to avoid them use the safer, non-warranty voiding GameShark made by American company Interact. GameSharks are available at most local videogame retailers and, even though they are intended for cheating purposes, allow you to play other region games on your domestic console.
Hope this helps.

Thanks guys as far as the chips my friend and I put them in and also the replacement cases it is pretty easy especially with the newer psone so I am not worried due to the successful mods we have already done.

This is a local Austin store that I get my import stuff from. They seem to stock a reasonable amount at reasonable rates. They had one of the Japanese PS2s on the floor for play testing by customers within a month after they hit the shelves in Japan.

Very cool place, I've spent too much money there.
