Hi All,

I found the some of the game sell by Play Asia is quite cheap compare to buy in Penang, I did email to ask Play Asia whether I will get tax if I buy game from them and get it delivery to Penang, their reply is need to check with Penang Custom, No idea how to check with Custom here.

Anyone got experience order game before from Play Asia and get it deliver to Penang, any custom tax?

Thanks

Hmmm... i think there will be no charges on tax... but you will need to pay for postage, unless you're using their free shipping service... i've never buy anything from play-asia... you can try asking bro zenquix... he helps LYN forumers getting their stuffs from various online "market"

I am going to try to purchase one game from Play Asia and see how, they have a promotion of Dynasty Warrios 6 at RM54.74 only but I dont really understand what is mean by "US, No Region Protection", some of the game it wrote "Asia, No Region Protection", so can my locally bought PS3 machine can play since it indicate No Region Protection" or is only valid for US made PS3 only? a bit confuse..

Dynasty Warriors 6
(For PlayStation3™, US, No Region Protection)

There's no worry for ps3 game's region as it can be played on all models. Regarding about the tax, I also wanna know.

From what I know, I heard that purchase more than usd 200 and above might get taxed. Correct me if I'm wrong, thanks.

buy 1 game no need to pay tax
game will received around 1 week

Thanks for the reply, I can see there are several freight option that, some is very expensive and the lowest is like RM15, is the RM20 can get the game within 1 weeks, because the shipment date is like showing up to 21 days and some is come with insurance can be as high as RM27, with that, causing the cost of the game less attractive, anyone try before?

Ya..buy 1 or 2 games wont be taxed. Normal shipping will reach here about 1week from Hong Kong. Sometimes 2 weeks.

If u use Fedex or UPS..its faster...eg 2~3 days.
Ive been buying games/toys fr Playasia since 2007.
No problem with them so far

paying for delivery cost is unavoidable. is not the company that gain anyway.

recommended buying from playasia....delivery thru fedex is fast

sound great .. :-)

Or you can go www.yesasia.com to have a look

Though most of the things there is quite expensive but if you buy more than USD39, you gain free delivery.

They using dpex which also quite fast to my area (3 days).

buying from play asia requires some strategy if you wish to get very good deal. normally i'll spot few nice old games at very good price and buy 1 shot... last 2 years i bought 7 games around RM480 including shipping another thing is currency... now USD has dropped, so price is rather low than last month.

region wise is not important except you want to follow your PSN region, like US is R1, Europe R2, Asia R3, Australia R4. If you are not picky then just buy whatever is cheap

as o|O|o said... less than RM500 will be safe from tax...

most important... u need credit card

Playasia was so expensive..

any other good website which offer cheaper price and reliable service to recommend ?

don't listen to him. play-asia often have good deals if you're smart on when to buy.

i always opt for free shipping, took about 3 weeks to arrive though.

I buy from Rocket_jet ... http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2021070
Almost 80 % of my collection i buy from him.. Reliable and fast..

Absolutely.
Added 1more info,the total should not exceed RM500,that's include the shipping cost as well.
Happy shopping~

If above RM 200, Kastam will stop the package to check if unlucky.

Sometimes local seller don't bring R1 games so I always get all my R1 games from Play-Asia

If you want discounts coupon, you know who to go to

So far the items purchased from them did arrived my hand safely.
Just that the shipping duration quite long around 2- 3 weeks (i opt for free shipping)

Yes, I bought dynasty 6 with around RM50 and order little planet 2 around RM130 to get the free freight .. waiting now..

the selling point for play asia is the weekly offer I guess..

^ not really... u can visit this page: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-14-71-177-49-en.html for cheap old games

frankly speaking i dun understand why ppl still buying frm playasia.....lyn seller nowadays are cheaper than playasia.

even old game their price can't match our seller here and you need to wait 3 weeks to arrived

buy frm lyn seller lar u received ur game 1to2 days

well... u might not understand if you aren't gamer + collector. 2nd, there are R1 games that local doesn't bring in while PA offer it, starting the price is high, but soon or later, price will drop or wait for promotion . 3rd, perhaps you didn't experience looking for very old game out of stock and only able to find it in oversea. my experience is armored core 4 (R1 english) which local can't find anymore, even now PA is out of stock. There are japanese version though, but how many local players can understand japanese?

it's not all the time we order from PA, just special offer or hard to find games. Even local offers same as PA or lower than PA after quite some time... they might have ordered from PA during promotion period too, and use courier express which will send in 1 - 3 days. it's easy to take note if every week you survey PA games price. Anyway, PA's price always change, last week you may see DW6 RM50++, this week price could have rise alot or little. I remember there is 1 period ACE:R offer RM150++ in PA for few weeks (out of stock very fast though), after that rise back to RM200++, local you may find 2nd hand ACE:R for RM100 - RM150 depends seller.

Thanks

You are the one who don't get it.
You tell me where can I buy The Idolm@ster 2 (R2 JP) for RM 285 in Malaysia?

The only LYN seller that advertise it is pbbseller @ RM320 in Johor.
Otherwise no way.
