Hi all, i wanted to buy some original game CD but i am not sure which are the best location to shop for it. fearing that some shop might not be honest....anyone here had experience and probably want to share it here?

Please do share it here especially in Klang Valley areas...thank you

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.

If you're in Subang, go to Subang Parade underground IT level. There is ori game shop.

MidValley also got near the food court.

Mines Shopping Centre got same as Bowling Level.

You can buy from pbbseller and some other sellers here.

He'll send it straight to your home.

Usually cheaper too.

i tried the mid valley shops...but the price is so expensive at rm150++ per games....

usually how much does it cost to buy a original cd?

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.

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.

i heard Popular Bookshop sells PC games too?

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.

there's 1 in subang avenue with lotsa lotsa games and some limited edition stuff (sc2 guide). the software boutique is safe because their parent company is new era (distro).

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.

Not strictly within the confines of Wilayah Persekutuan, but try The Software Boutique (SS2).

i suppose there should be a shop in lowyat plaza.
other than tsb as mention above, there's 1 in subang parade and subang avenue (sorry may be a bit far for you).

looks like can order on9 from tsb too:

http://www.tsb.com.my/

i got bf2 and bf:bc2 ori and can play on9 if you want. not playing no mo.

Hmm... somehow your Popular & my Popular differ a lot.

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.

Times Square IT Section, two shops selling original games, quite cheap too. Some places selling RM36 for the really really old games.

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.

Or You beli

For console there're quite a few around, do check garage section for the location of the shops. i think 1 in Berjaya time square and somewhere around sogo? You can mention you're from Lyn which will get you some discount

Sg wang got one shop selling both legitimate and ahem version at 4 floor if im not mistaken....couldnt recall the exact floor but i do know there is one there cause i purchased some ori game from the shop before...

there is one in 1 Utama, forget the shop name in old wing.

they are supplied by software boutique.

the prices are same as listed in tsb.com.my



the subang parade IT shop that sell ori games, can someone tell me the name or post a pic?

why? there's only 1 shop that sells software there at the lower floor IT section. can't remember the name.

Yeah that's it, LoadUp and ReplayGem
May I know which Popular is it? I know they are available at some Popular only

The nearest Popular to me also don't have

I know there is one shop in 1U, at bridge there opposite F.O.S. The shop is divided into 2, one side sells video games then another one sells PC game. Not sure are u mentioning that shop as well? He sells jack sparrow games too

oh i see...but some old games like grant theft Auto selling at Rm160++ i think...is expensive...but anyhow how does the digital version work? mind to share a bit more here, thank you very much

u should try digital distribution if u dun care about box, dvd, printed manual etc. i got my gta4 for USD4.99 only

ALL IT @ Plaza Lowyat. 3rd floor. They carry all the latest PC games.

Just like what donchaka mentioned, the main idea about digital distribution is the fact that you don't get any physical box, CD / DVD or manual. The games are downloaded directly once you purchased them.

A normal scenario of purchasing retail game is you go to the store, take a look if your desired game is available & if yes, you have to decide if the price is reasonable. If it's unavailable, you might need to go from 1 shop to another to search for it or wait for the shop owner to get back to you if he's kind enough to source it for you. If you order it by mail, you'll still have to wait a few days for it to reach you (in 1 piece if you're lucky) & sometimes the game box was dented due to rough handling by the post personnel. What about the scenario of your CD / DVD getting lost or scratched? Heartache, no?

DD (digital distribution) is the total opposite of the above scenario. There are a few platforms (competitors) to choose from so that you can easily compare the games' price. Once decided, just create an account, buy the games you want with your credit card & you can start downloading the game right on the spot. Reformat your computer? Once done, just login again & redownload the game! Certain platforms like Steam has the function for you to backup your games so that you don't have to redownload them again if you need to reformat or change PC.

The Software Boutique

http://www.tsb.com.my/

someone should compile a list of the Popular branches selling the old PC games.

I always wanted to play Supreme Commander when it came out, but my pc not power enough that time( and no money also)

so when I saw the advert at PC Gamer, I somehow know the nearest Popular in my area (Amcorp Mall) don't have it. Can anyone tell which Popular branches they went that sell old games?

seriously for old games i prefer to buy them via digital distribution like steam, gamersgate, gog etc. The reason is because of the patch. Buy those retail copy then go back u have to think about patching.

hey there
i'm looking for Eminem & Royce da 5'9 - Bad Meets Evil

this is normal, most pc games prices are in that range

Necromancer spotted.

What?
