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

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

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.
