Fail.

Over here everything is about business. Over there they all get into the spirit and joy of the celebration. They want everyone to share the happiness. So one way to do this is to lower prices. Also a great opportunity to clear stock.

Over here the mentality of profit over everything is making it impossible to happen. They know demand will be higher, so put higher price or maintain existing price and they will make tons of profit. Even if Sony/MS/Nintendo make it a worldwide price drop, some sellers will find a way to make it not available to everyone.

Eg. The price drop is for new stock and its not arrive yet. All they have is old stock and its for the old price. When the new stock arrive, the promo is over and its back to old price. Unless its a permanent price drop. You know the drill.

just in case you do not know how to write your house address
theres a MALAYSIA word at the bottom of the address

qudeenz360 like this.

Respect

maybe most malaysian were not as stinking rich like u?

dear sister

my advise for u

go & learn english first

u still can`t get wht i ment in this topic

LOL just ignore. Troll will be troll.

Anyway, yeah its a sad state of affairs where everything in US is so darn cheap (not to meantion Europe as well). Not just consoles but basically a lot and lot of stuff (at least those that are not Japan originated). Some more Black Friday & Cyber Monday are coming. Even if I buy direct from Amazon with shipping, still at least 20% - 30% cheaper than here.

But dont blame the retailers as they need to make margin. This is more from suppliers & manufacturers. Combination of both not enough economies of scale, and some other hidden agenda kept our retail prices high.

do you know any sites that has all the cyber monday and black friday deals, not just for games, i've been looking around but couldnt find any

Well said!
