What is this hang-up with the words "official" and "authorized" anyways? Has anyone asked if this company is somehow dealing directly with Nintendo of Japan or NOA? In my opinion, official means that Nintendo has suddenly decided to set up a branch in Malaysia. Kinda like how Microsoft's regional centre in Singapore deals with all the Xbox issues.

If you check in Hong Kong, the price of a Nintendo DS and its individual games are actually comparable to the price of imported games down in sungei wang. an official dealer selling them more expensive means a step backwards from there.

My advice? Visit them. It sounds like they actually stock more stuff than most shops in KL. Heck, if they have some old GC titles i want then i might just pop in there. Find out where the chain of warranty goes to. If it sound like a reliable dealership, and your luck with nintendo stuff has been lousy the past few years, then go for it. Just please don't swallow the medicine they are selling just because its "OFFICIAL"

If anyone wonders, I got Minish Cap for RM110 about 3 months after it was released.

We don't really need Nintendo to set a branch here to get official prices. In Singapore, it is Maxsoft the distributor that does the job in supplying stuffs including warranty and setting up official prices.

But its better to have some presence of 'Officiality' because Malaysia is so notorious for its 'barangan lanun'.

A distributor is official enough as long as it has been granted the rights by Nintendo. Nintendo provides price lists and stocks to its local distributors and it only allows one or two local distributors in most countries.

Maxsoft IS an official distributor in Singapore. Just google Singapore and you'll see.
Didn't know about them being a distributor in SEA though.

AFAIK they are offering 3 months warranty in S'pore as well but I have no idea whether people there have to pay extra

bidfordun: I need a rpg to entertain me until svc reach my place mah. Not FF3 though, coz i think it'll be easier to get a 2nd hand copy

Ashe: You must be a very good negatiator or a regular customer I guess. Most try to sell me at 140-150(I smell sex discrimination here, hmm...) so I rather buy from official counter

svc~~svc~~ wub.gif
Actually even if I preorder FF3 I won't be able to play it until december. It comes out on my first exam day so my parents will definitely hide the parcel.

Lucky my mother didn't not look closely to the game cover where Djinn sticked a paper with the price of the game when EBA arrives to my house, or else my life would have worth only RM140

Awww.
Guess I have to wait until december before going down to sg wang to get Contact... But then svc will cost me around 190-200...囧rz

It's great to see the counter bringing in Japanese game though, even if there's only 1 or 2. Maybe they should also consider bringing in Ouendan despite the game is pretty old by now.
