I've purchased from TSB (http://www.tsb.com.my) a few times with no issue. I'm a noob when it comes to Selangor's geography hence I can only provide you the address:

The Software Boutique Sdn Bhd (561459H)
14M, Mezzanine Floor, Jalan SS2/67,
47300 Petaling Jaya, Selangor

They do postage too so not much trouble to get it without being there in person.

It depends on what games you're looking for. If the game is still new & has high demand, then yeah, then it might be a lil' pricey, such as StarCraft 2. whistling.gif

If you're looking for cheaper game, perhaps you can try digital distribution such as Steam or GamersGate? They always hold promotion where your favourite games may go up to 75% discount or sometimes free for a certain period of time. smile.gif

Educational games, to be exact. That's what they labelled over here at my area. These are games like Diner Dash & those simple games with not much replayability value.

errr...no
Ive seen popular sell decent old school games, like Prince of Persia Trilogy, FarCry, OrangeBox, Stalker, FEAR, Sonic, CoH gold edition...etc
Their distributors are mainly ReplayGem and LoadUp, so whatever game they have, is what you get.No new games.

Does anyone know any video game shops selling PC games like Assassin's Creed and Battlefield, and console games and Xbox360 in Kuala Lumpur?

I lam a Malaysian who lived in the UK for 3 years. In the UK, it is very easy to buy PC games or any console games because all you have to do is go to the GAME shop which has a branch in almost every city and town in the UK.

But in Malaysia we have no chain of Video Game stores but we have independent retailers selling it. It is difficult to find these independent retailers selling original games.

I live in Kuala Lumpur, very near to Sungei Wang shopping centre.

Does anybody know any video game shops selling original PC games? Could you tell me the address or just the shopping centre and the floor level? Please list all that you know.

Additionally, does anybody know any Singapore video game store websites that can deliver games to Malaysia?

Please help me out. Thank you.

That's the price for new games. The stores at MV do sell some cheap RM19.90 games, though those are usually old ones, like DoW:DC.

Why don't you buy from Steam?

And you can try with Play Asia for console games, it is a online retail based in Hong Kong.
