not at all. the price you see is the actual real official DS price in Malaysia. we get cheaper stuff elsewhere because those are imported.

to all,

There are way too many ppl who have no idea what they are talking about and to avoid confusion, here's what i can share with you guys about the first official nintendo counter in Malaysia

1. It's by the same distributor in Singapore and they are the official distributor of Nintendo products in this region (SEA) fyi. They are appointed by Nintendo (Japan). 

2. The prices are "expensive" because full taxes are paid for all the nintendo stuff brought into malaysia, but in return, all stuff have the official warranty by Nintendo. Like ruff bark said, all hardware offer a 1-for-1 exhange for technical defects for the first 3 months (hinge defects included). No other shop can/will offer that in Malaysia.

3. The counter will only sell official nintendo hardware and software, and official licensed nintendo accessories. no el-cheapo made in china/taiwan accessories here.

4. You can actually order older or Jap games that you're looking for from this counter. No guarantees though but they will try to accomodate your request.

5. there will be more counters like this in jaya juscos around town (and hopefully, around the nation too)

err... because i spoke to the distributor?

expect to read more of this in the November issue of GameAxis.
