This happen 2 weeks back.
When I got my PS4 from Sony, that Sony store didn't have games. So I was looking for games around. Wanted to get desperately a game to play. So decided Killzone since it should be slightly cheaper since the game is already out. Went to pertama complex ground floor got a shop. He charging me RM 280, wanted to leave but kena pestering "how much you want" stuff like that ... don't want to elaborate further on this.

Then I went digital mall sec 14. One shop (unfriendly guy) rm 260 and another just behind that shop at RM 205.

I wish you guys can post those rip off shops so others would be careful. Now I either get it from Impulse or download. I hate when ppl are bloody rude/dun want to layan and charging sky high.

Old news, bro.

you need to know which shops to buy at otherwise you get RIPPED off.

bro...mind to list down the shops ?

well, nobody like it tho.

if it happen to me, once they show their rudeness and their annoying attitude i just get the hell out.

Gamers Hideout at 1U is also another rip off shop. They selling Infamous SS for RM179 when it should be RM169. The boss & staff there is also rude & arrogant.

I know 1 Game Shop in pertama complex sell reasonable price... Gamers Solution.. Others are.. well u know

normally wont buy games from Game Shop unless it is from forum lowyat ... haha

Just choose your game shop wisely Every shop have their own price list etc..
should make trusted shop list rather than rip off shop list

willing buyer, willing seller. simple as that..

not willing to buy then don't buy.

ok! thanks!

aiya you guys not selling games before you dunno one la. i do understand that they sell higher that we can ignore/choose not to buy. we don't need to say bad thing ma. after all they're doing business as well.

rental, worker salary, electricity, dll. all also need to pay also.

Extra rm 10 ok la. Online price in Lyn I know very competitive. If I go shop I don mind paying rm10 more coz I also know they have cost. For example, I was at a mall and wanted ffx ps3. Went brothers game shop they offer rm150, I take knowing impulse selling rm140.

But to charge rm200 plus for it and some more in a digital mall is blatant rip off lor. Probably rip off those people who are not internet savvy

Instead of listing the ripped off shop, how about getting the good shop listed?

We can know which shop cheap, and the shop can get free advertisement also. Win-win situation

I have to agree that retail store usually walk in price is different, even lyn games section the price they posted is for ppl on lyn if u walk in their shop they usually tell u a different price....

I think its just the culture in malaysia cause they expecting u to nego pricing, even in my shop if i offer walk in customers online prices right off the bat they will still ask for discounts ; ; so its usual to set it a bit higher and then offer them online prices so they feel good about it.

But ya 280 is rip off sell to tourist price lol.......

Yes, that pertama complex gameshop ground floor sell games expensive, but if you are there, check out gamers solution..

Heavy arm is a good shop in subang. And yes, digital mall in seksyen 14 is damn expensive. Makes me angry only going to digital mall seeing all those prices

Actually, the shops can sell at whatever price they want to. It's their rights. It's not as if they are holding a knife and forcing you to buy from them. I mean, if you feel that the price is cray-cray, just walk away.

TS has no bad intentions for those shops either, he is just trying to create awareness. But again, creating awareness and making bad names of shops are two different things. Maybe if you should've just said that : These shops are selling higher than usual, rather than the word 'Rip-off' then it wouldnt come to this.

Creating awareness is fine but not to the extend of bad mouthing. I mean, everyone has to earn for a living right. If you are aware of the pricing, then just don't buy. Buy from those shops that you think that is more reasonable and just let it go.

For me, I will only purchase from known shops. Luckily I live in Subang, Heavyarm is very near for me, I can just dropby anytime. Don't have to hassle to look for cheapest game store within Klang Valley. Convenience is more important.

For me if I walk in and they offer rm170 for a game, I will try nego. If rm180 to 200 price they quote I straight walk out. Blatantly conning us.

Heavyarm subang is always reliable and reasonable price for me

I dun agree with those who are protecting the shops with extraordinary amount. A game I could get from RM 180 is marked up to RM 280 is too much!!! I don't mind if it's rm 20 more. This is like cheating customers. On top of that they are bloody rude as if that I'm getting the game for free. In fact in facebook there are already a group on food restaurant charging customer high price. Perhaps I should start one on PS4 rip Off game shops. Public opinion matters! I get very personal when idiots are rude to me.

Take for example Gamers Solution in pertama complex, they are very polite, helpful and the price is ok. Impulse is another one that post on time without any delay. In fact I also realise that some ps4 games are also cheaper in PSN, of course the drawback is that you can't sell it off.

The other rude and expensive shops are just digging their own grave. If they are trying to cheat customers then they should be posted here and shine them under the light.
