+ I might be wrong on the video games as I'm not on gaming. But judging on the prices of electronics there I though the game console such as PSP is cheaper in KL.. The pirated DVD....Everywhere I go around Sum Lua, Pratunam cloths markets area (Prongtip IT Plaza)..& etc I cannot find anything lower than 100bath!! BTW, avg pirated DVD in KL is ~RM7 and some areas RM6/each..in Bangkok, Min 100bath!! or RM10/each such a dissapoinment...BTW, Penang Batu Feringghi DVD is selling at RM4/each - Bali pricing!!
On the souvenir T-shirt, I can get the same T-shirt 2 for RM10 in Langkawi or even RM8 in Petaling Street..In Bkk, MBK (Suprisingly the cheapest -Fixed thb90-thb99!!) Even Pratunam areas..The t-shirts is selling at 100bath..after discount thb80! Thats KL pricing! U can even find a reasonable t-shirt for RM5 at Klang Valley pasar malam!
Nevertheless there are other items that are cheaper in BKK...Food...roadside start from thb20 and Malls food court from thb35 which is cheaper than KL. Also other souvenirs such as decorative laps, leather bags, Bags & etc...I managed to get a Samsonite (Fake) notebook bag at MBK ofr RM90 only
..& the quality is better than the real thing! ..One thing I like in BKK - the varieties..u can't find it in KL or Singapore.BTW, those ppl in Malaysia probably gets the stuff in BKK via wholesales in Chinatown - Yes I agreed the stuff at Chinatown especially at the wholesales area are cheap..suprisingly cheap!!
Atleast 1/2 of pratunam pricing but need to purchase atleast 1/2 dozen /1 dozen! of same items 
..Those ppl in chinatown even chased me out

i beg to differ on some of the things u mentioned. no doubt electronics like cameras can be found for a cheaper price in most cases in KL. but with video games ( i assume u mean pc games too) prices for ORIGINAL stuff are much much cheaper. also cheaper are original DVDs. dunno about the pirated stuff since i dont buy those. for example you can get an original COD4 for RM55 in bangkok. here is around 120 i think? double the price right 
and original dvds i've found for RM25 only if you check out some stores in MBK like maang pong.
as for the clothes, i think ur the first to tell me u can get it cheaper here. have you checked out the prices of clothes in pratu nam? chatuchak? sam paeng/pahurat? i know ppl who go to bangkok just to shop and come back here and sell @ higher prices, while its still cheaper than KL. maybe u can give some direct comparison of stuff that are cheaper here than there and still provide so much variety (which to me is important...pointless to have just one small joint that sells cheaper stuff if there is hardly any to pick from).
even for original brand clothes, the sales @ central branches and robinson are sometimes cut-throat. you can get original luigi batani or valentino shirts at these places for as low as rm35 if you go @ the right time (i'm talking about mall shopping here, not street/bargain shopping).
anyways maybe our experiences differed or you just know more places than me in KL since in my 4 years here i have yet to find a place that can satisfy my shopping needs like bangkok does
maybe others can give their input
