Good shops should be listed as opposed to rip off list ... as some may have mentioned, willing buyer willing seller so it is unfair to say that they are rip off shops. but most of us who surf around lowyat forum should know that there are shops which are better in terms of pricing.

perhaps if someone wants to help compile a list of Good shops?

I've personally dealt with
heavyarm
playtime bangsar (must call or PM them in advance and inform you're from lowyat forum)

these 2 ppl have given me non sky high prices smile.gif

Gamer's hideout I feel is slightly more on the expensive side

for GH i realize if u are a member, then the price can be as low as impulse.

member price for ffx hd and x-2 was rm140 by impulse excluding postage (with pos total rm145). in gh it was rm140, but no stock. i bought it at brothers for rm150.

membership is rm20 per year i think. worth it if u buy alot of games.. sometimes launchday u will delay 1-2 days maybe more over weekend (example:infamous ss ps4) if u buy from impulse.
That said, saw on FB that impulse is opening in ss2 rclxms.gif rclxms.gif . awesome, now can just go ss2 buy at impulse low prices, minus the hassle and delay of postage!!

Bought one of the PS Vita (God Eater I think) from them and comes with free membership, plus the console is about RM 30-50 cheaper than Heavyarm or Impulse (non-member price btw).

Anyway yeah Impulse is coming to town!!!!!!!

We are considering.
Guess that will be a long time. Anyone who can get Luke a good quote for shop rental or sale might help ease the process of Impulse moving into Selangor. laugh.gif

these outlet dimiliki oleh maxlink Group sony authorise reseller . so their sony gaming stuff pricing will be control tight .

- Maxlink HQ (Endah Parade)
- Talk About Games (The Summit USJ)
- GameFlirt (One Utama)
- Gamester (Kota Damansara Giant)
- The Little Game Shop (1 Mont Kiara Mall)

IF this world got no internet i wonder what you guys do without survey till in the end still purchase anything without discount just like back to ps1/ps2 era i dont even know LYN exist yet .

GH's game prices are only reasonable if you subscribe to their yearly membership. Otherwise it's usually rm10-20 more expensive I think.

Hardly go to Sunway Pyramid but when I was there with my relatives during CNY they quoted the Wii U Zelda Bundle for rm1500+. Some of their PS3 games prices are okay, though.

Last time during this section's olden days, whenever I bash GH's non existent customer service, hordes of its minions will flame me, now why these people tak kena wei?1 totally unfair biggrin.gif

as for the price, I dont mind what price the seller want to put, its their shop. usually when I ask the price of their game, and they quoted, i just back off, and when some smart alex asks me, hey boss, what price you want? this is ori game you know..then I will say

"wei, you think i just started playing video games ka because lat time i was into gadgets / pc?  "

biggrin.gif

Thats why I prefer PSN purchase. Less hassle, click buy, tow hours later i will be playing the game.

But my fav shop is of course Gamers Solution at Pertama Complex. They are honest and friendly. dont mind paying a bit extra for a good customer service experience and a happy ending biggrin.gif

I doubt so, as our market not big enough. I've been to a few in France & UK, and yeah they have great offers really cheap games (~ GBP 5), and very modern looking. Sadly though, the gaming retail industry is going through a transition and even Game may not survive through the next generation or the one after.

Ten dollars considered a rip off?
Not to be blunt here but you need to get a grip wor.

I might be biased cause I've been buying from them on and off for a long time and these guys, as far as i know are nice blokes. They might not be the cheapest but Gamers Hideout was one of the earliest shops to stock and sell original games at a reasonable price back when the 360 was in its infancy. They did a lot of hard work promoting ori gaming, and had a nice 360 community going for the longest time.

Not the cheapest now with so many new shops popping up, but janganlah call them a rip off. You guys are indirectly benefiting from their hard work wor, these guys were bringing in titles and selling them at RM180 a piece when everyone else were buying RM5 PS2 games. laugh.gif Anyone still remember those Sg Wang shops that were selling originals at RM450 etc etc? Good riddance I say.

As for the rude and arrogant bit, it really depends on the person, even I've bee given somewhat of a cold shoulder from the newer counter guys, but djinn's always been nice and helpful to me. thumbup.gif

I think pertama kompleks gamers solution is the one I find most reasonable. Been buying gej them this pass 7 years, almost all ps3 ori games are from them.

Though now got a lot of online sellers selling cheaper than them. But I still support them. I ussualy stop my car at the road side and have them take the games down for me without having to park my car.

Well, looks like I became one of the victim as well. After contemplating for so long, I decided to get a new PS4. I did go around Lowyat and SgWang to find the best deal. In the end decided to get from QSL GAME SYSTEM ENTERPRISE. Located 1st floor, just beside the escalator (see attach picture)

Anyway I got con for the same reason. Initially they offer RM1150 for the 3 game bundle which is the cheapest among all the store. However upon confirming to buy, they ask me what Region I want? That's where I got caught, huh... got region want meh? So that is where they bulls*** about if you buy Region3 then you cannot play Region2 games...etc. So better buy ALL REGION. Well I did not research about the different region, in my mind I thought all the same.

Anyway cut the story short, she convince me to get the ALL REGION console which has a A-3-3 chop at the bottom of the box (Yes, I know what it is after I bought!). So of course the so called ALL REGION is more expensive, I kinda payed probably RM150-200 more.

Later after my purchase & did a little research then I found out the truth! Well, I should have wait a little, is my fault. But a lesson learn indeed.

My hope is, whoever plans to buy a new console/ games. Please DO NOT buy from this shop. I repeat here again, the name of the shop is QSL GAME SYSTEM ENTERPRISE. (refer picture). Thank You.
