I think you lost the plot... Not RM800, more like RM200-300.

Switch (USD300) + 1-2 Switch (USD50) + Zelda (USD60) = USD410 ± RM1824 - Cheapest bundle you can get so far is RM1999. So price difference is only about RM180. Unless you really die-die don't want to pay for 1-2 Switch and Zelda

I want the console only, not the bundle. I prefer to get digital version, not physical unit. I have not less then a hundred game disk with me now, PS3/Wii/WiiU/Xbox/Vita/3DS and also the limited edition copies. It becomes a problem for me now, running short of storage to keep the games disc.

Ok, so it's more like, "I don't want to purchase a bundle, since I prefer digital copies. Thus I have to buy from Amazon to get the Nintendo Switch console only" and not because of "RM800" price difference.
Who the heck will buy from GH for Switch? Itu mmg confirm waterfish doh.gif

Japan is JPY29980 + 7% sales tax - not sure if shipping is FOC tax or not... Should be ± RM1246 in today's rate. Cheaper than US definitely biggrin.gif

Even without the bundle, the price difference is still very huge. And why on Earth we are force to buy the bundle together? This is because of the unethical and unscrupulous money sucking local vendor, especially true for Maxsoft.

You get my point? What I mean is drop all the orders. Boycott the day 1 purchase. Wait for 2 weeks. See how the price gonna slides down.

+1. This is what I am talking about all the while. Teach them a good lesson see who can last long. Just show our local unscrupulous scalpers middle finger.
I will get my from Amazon after launch. After all, why the hurry and being forced to pay the premium to scalpers.

Saw a preorder from Japan online site. The price difference is really insane. They charge only 32,378Yen which is only RM1300++

It is written at the warranty type : No warranty

It is better to get local set for RM 2,099 with warranty and peace of mind.

They are selling thru. 11street as well. http://www.11street.my/productdetail/ninte...er-pre-30765770
They stated there the warranty is 1 year Maxsoft with RM100 for shipping. With the discount coupon, this deal is rather sweet.
Just don't know how trustworthy they are.

I don't see why they are fake shop, just that why bother with going through so much trouble just to save that few ringgits. Sometimes paying premium price in a shop with good service is easier. If you have any problems, easier to solve too.

Previously lesson learned for me was PS4 Pro. GemFive had it for RM200 cheaper, so I thought what could possibly go wrong. That was the first and last time I will buy from game shops that I don't trust. Impulse and HeavyArms is my go-to.

True also. But I am in Penang, either way I am still having problem with warranty sad.gif . Not many option for me.
Any one here have experience dealing with them before? Mind to share the opinion?

It wasn't really the fact that they couldn't get enough stock, it's their response and how they handle it. Yes Sony Malaysia was behind all of these for not securing sufficient stock, but the way impulse/heavyarms is handling the situation compared to other shops from 11street or gemfive is what pisses me off.
Asked them when can we get the stock, they say on launch because Sony allocated a lot of stocks for them this time, 200 units. Blindly taking preorder despite other bigger shops stopped taking order to prevent stuff like these happens. Near launch suddenly announce no stock at all, have to wait for a month, then 2 months and 4 months. Ask about what queue am I in, they get frustrated because too many people asking them. What kind of service is that. And of course, shops like Impulse is honoring their customer 1 free game for that case. The shop even told me to refund if I'm not happy, so I did what they told me to do.
I'm from penang too, therefore customer service is even more important if there's any problem. Try communicating with an unknown shop that is from KL, you will wish that you've paid that extra RM100.
I love shops like Impulse or HeavyArms because of their fast response.
*
Agreed. I bought a lot from them as well, especially impulse. But this time wanna try a new source and see how it turn out. The warranty is actually from Maxsoft so I can just send the unit myself directly to Maxsoft instead of giving the RM100 just for them to ship to Maxsoft.

I was eyeing this as well but ultimately settle for Hori Tough pouch. Main reason is to get the pouch as fast as possible before I scratch my new console tongue.gif

Yes bro, same with me. Switch from Truegamers, Accessories from Impulse.

Hopefully, they can ship to us on 3rd.

For warranty, surely we can just ship our unit directly back to Maxsoft and bypass the RM100. I will definitely dealing with Maxsoft directly without middle man.
By the way 3rd March is base on our date or US date? I believe should be US date, no? In that case it should be 4th only then our local vendor here get theirs' stock. Unfortunately 4th is Saturday. So I would expect to receive my on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Actually, using credit cards will be using the bank forex - example such as Maybank is SGD1 = MYR3.2095. Some banks also charge overseas conversion transactions such as CIMB who charges 1%. So you need to beware of all these charges before proceeding...

So in this case, it might be SGD590 X 3.2095 = RM1893.61 + 1% (RM1912.54). I'd just topup another RM80 to buy it at RM1999, get 1-2 Switch, and get it earlier (I hope). Unless you die die don't want 1-2 Switch la...

This is the calculation and sway me to get the unit here instead of original plan to get in from Singapore since I will be there next week. It works out not quite worth it, so I changed my plan and get it from Truegamers instead.
