Please takes your time the following e-mail....from www.gameshop.com.sg
feels free to browse their website too at http://www.gameshop.com.sg/ as I believe the delivery period and cost is cheaper compared with the one offerd by play-asia.com as they r based in Singapore. Furthermore, the delivery will be marked as agift and computer item too.

Please don't flame me here, as I am just trying to help other people to get their xbxo 360 asian version in the most ecnomical way as possible, and i have no relation with them too. I have decided to make an online credit card purchase of xbxo 360 and wifi adapater from them, and will self collect those on the launching date. this is to ensure that I wiil not have to go back home empty handed as the supply of xbox on launching date is very limited.

quick reply.thanks alot.this is by far the cheapest i have seen so far

i think better include the tax estimation too just in case... if dont get tax then consider bonus. if not sure you later heart attack.

you need to ask them to declare the xbox 360 asian package at a very very low value.

if with the true value of RM1,600. based on electronic tax (25 %) you need to pay up extra RM400.

if declare too low then scared the kastam bawa lari the 360. then if claim insurance only can claim that low declared amount earlier. kastam these days banyak pandai they know which one to tax and in their klia cargo building lagi teruk. if go there must bring along 1 friend if not game over

I don't think kastam will take away the xbox 360 since if is from DHL (worldwide courier company)

if is from EMS or Air mail (don't think can use Air mail) then maybe Kastam might take something back for thier own.

hmmm so for expensive items better use DHL or FEDEX secured?

yup. at least DHL/FEDEX is much much mor realiable .

if not.. end up like me. use air-mail. all my stock hilang.. don't know where liaw.

Couriers services and EMS usually insured.

I'm going to their office to meet with mr stephen during the launching date, as to find out if they r willing to offer us a bulk purchase price for any order from low yat member. But, no guarantee here.....

wah.bulk very nice i will pray as hard as i can so the bulk will go through

wah really hope you make it then easier to get stocks

nice..
good job dude.

Customs are very dangerous people. I've heard many horror stories of people who never receive their parcels, or people who did receive but some stuff went missing/got damaged. Which is why I never ever go for airmail. At the very least, services like UPS have a reputation to uphold, so they'll ensure that all packages arrive fast and in good condition

Always go for courier if you can. Or at the very least use EMS. Because they are insured those gatal tangan ppl think twice before swiping anything.

good luck bro. hopefully you can avoid teh custom tAx.

last time was in xenofreak bulk purchase from gameshop.sg. ordering the limited edition halo2 just order 5 pcs only. (using DHL if not mistaken or EMS) kena tax liaw. Have to Pay up RM 200

wah buy 5 games kena tax rm200... walauleh
then malaysia kastam should be rich already...

now goverment already "no money"

Waleuuu.... if order from playasia onli 1pcs 360game through EMS also need tax from Kastam? if like that i prefer using Fedex....

Yalor .. kena tax like crazy ... but like i say somewhere in this forum. The tax can be avioded if the package in under-declared, that was the mistake that I did not do. If you buy anything with a total of more than RM400 .. remember to under-declare it.

wow after reading the posts, i just realized that i'm a total n00b in buying stuff via shipping! well..that's because i've never done that before..so spare me.

anyhoo, could you kind dudes give me a n00b tutorial about this shipping2 stuff?

1) i went to gameshop.com.sg and found that there are two methods of shipping; express and standard. difference is in terms of delivery time and cost. for both, they will be using the same shipping services yeah? and are there any cons in standard shipping besides waiting a little longer?

2) about taxing. now if i were to order and ask for shipping from gameshop, would there be any tax at all? if so, how much?


thanks for your answers dudes. me so n00bie.

How much should it couse....i heard is RM12++ something...when coming at game shop here.......

p/s : hey judge dude, i just want to ask u, do u own Xbox? Do my Xbox still ok if i last time always press eject first then put in the new DVD game disc that will auto play?????

SLower shipping options usually have the tendecy to get caught by the customs though not always the case.People use the faster shipping with that in mind, and also they cannot wait any longer for their stuff.

2) This is my personal opinion, there is no cutoff limit to what gets taxed and what is not. Example, a close friend got himself a package of games worth RM200++ but still get taxed, while i once got past customs without tax even when Play-Asia was shipping me the PSP package with invoices clearly stuck outside stating the worth of the package more than RM1000++. It is all luck of the draw.

My advice is to request Gamescore to declare the item at lower price, mark it as something less prone to tax, and also mark it as "Gift". But of course the customs are clever, you can mark down the price to RM300+ say, but ifyour item is huge and heavy and you declare it as something that is not, chances are youe package will be held one way or another. There are no guarantees here.

where should i order it, i live in sabah so order online is the best method to me.
anyone have any idea?

btw, i have a sony plasma 42" only work in 1080I rather then 760.
the question is, will those 760I xbox360 games will work on my 1080I?
how will it look like if it can? bad graphic?

u mean 720p? don't worry, all xbox360 games support both 720p and 1080i. but many say 720p looks best. personally, i don't know coz i aint got no hdtv.

1. No idea, Im getting my friend to buy it for me from Singapore.

2. Yes you will be fine all games support 720p. And upscaling shouldnt be an issue.
