Hi everyone! I really wish u all can help me. I would really like to know if any of u know where are the Ninty counters in Singapore. I want the counters to be near Orchard Road please.

I think its maxsoft or something try googling it

I tried but still can't find them. I hope people that went to SG can tell me.
Please tell me the xbox shops too.

according to my brother in sg, they have none?

Never seen Maxsoft counters there... Maybe that's just me...
By the way gameshops around Orchard Road are so sg wang-ish. The shopkeepers know next to nothing about games, and they never stock in jap games.

There are a few nice shops in S'pore tho eg. SeowChoon, Gamescore, Funzcentre...

Oh good to know. You see I'm going to SG for 3 days ONLY and I obviously don't have much time to look for game stores. So I decided I ask u guys. My dad gave me 400$ to spend and I'm saving them now:)

I think Maxsoft distributes games/hardware to the game shops themselves rather than having a specialized counter of their own.

I thought so too. do u know any game shops in Orchard Road?

Orchard road might not be the best place to look for games? Why not try Funan or SLS or some of those it centers? You could check gamescore too, they have a site, gamescore.com.sg

Gamescore, Game1 --> Funan. Shopkeepers in Gamescore are mostly NDS addicts. Good service. Game1 was under renovation during my trip to S'pore but is reopened coz my cousin bought PSP there.

SeowChoon --> few branches. Went to liang court branch before to help friend get Bleach DS. Service not bad.

Funzcentre --> Located at Ang Moh Kio Centre. Never been there but friend recommended them.

Playboxx --> Located at Tampines. Never went there either but its name often appears in Singapore forums so I guess it's no bad too.

Hate dealing with those in Orchard Road. One of them handed me a Princess Peach when I asked for Bleach DS. Another told me Bleach is a comic, like I care. And the games(expect PSP games) they're selling are very very limited, exactly like Sg Wang.

Better take MRT to find those good shops instead.

OK OK I will print that page out. Thanx for the advice!

Gamescore is frankly to my experience, one of the best in s'pore as they are run by true gamers.

They were one of the few stores in s'pore to bring in those limited US exclusive releases like FF12 CE, Portable Ops PSP case pre-order and that Castlevania anniversary version.

But take note, their prices are slighty higher than the rest.

There is a video game store located at Tampines and Jurong (basically the two ends of Singapore) called Mega Multimedia which always have a healthy supply of games, but caters more to families rather than hardcore gamers like Gamescore.

In a nutshell, if you are looking for limited editions.etc, check out Gamescore but if you are looking for reasonable priced easy to find games, go to Mega Multimedia.

400$...i reallllly envy u...why cant my parents be like urs

yala, and bear in mind that it is singapore dollar.

Sigh lucky kid

lucky and rich kid.

I'm NOT a rich kid! Seriously, I only live in a 2 storey semi-D house! You call that rich?

aiya, u dont need a bungalow to prove that u r RICH

you also rich your parents buy wii for you

ya I'm not rich I don't even have a Wii yet. Another prove

cheh, u r getting one soon.

Wrong. I'll be getting an Xbox 360 instead.

same la!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pls donate to the poor .........

I'm not that rich lah. Dunno why you guys think I'm rich...haven't even seen me yet.

i will kidnap u when i c u. beta dun let me c.

Not same. 360 is cheaper product. I'm poor cos' I can't afford a Wii.

Eh plz lah I really no money wan. Why do you think I'm rich? Explain please

maybe u have been mistaken ur parent who is rich. Why? Lets me explain... hehe *no offend ya?* um...coz ur parent can buy a console? parent never bought me a console... even they does, it was for themselve. *my dad was game when he was 30-40+ now no more...

Oh. They are not rich lah. 360 is for christmas wan. Plus, I'm doing most of the house work now(we don't have a maid...see! I'm poor) so I can get the 360. Anyway, the only console they bought for us is PS1 only! I won't confirm we will get a 360 at all since they can cancel the deal anytime(they are always like that, sucks a little).

hehe better keep ur words lo... if not later they don buy for u...
a little bit paiseh

*off topic*

I think i remember a few places when i was there last month. Not on orchard road tho, just off from there. there is a place called Funan IT centre that should have one game shop on the first or second floor.

also, at the suntek city, on the first floor, the old Harvey Norman's there has been turned into a sorta "lowyat" style computer center. its relatively new. among that cluster of shops is a console games shop too. if you ask a few people there they may be able to point you in the right direction.

sorry i cannot give very good details, but i dont go there often enough to remember specifics. also, when i say first floor, i go by the convention that the level you enter the complex is ground and first is the one above it.

They sure buy wan. I got good results for UPSR so they cannot say no. If we don't get it, then I'll collect next years ang pau and buy it.

Thanks for the info Mudmaniac! It helped a lot. I'm gonna print out what ou wrote.

im talking about azureknight94 la...

where got rich not yet even get

OMG UPSR!!!!........ Another confirmation of richness ........ but maybe you shouldn't go for a game console or else your future results might suffer

yeah UPSR is damn easy man..i also got straight A's..wait till SPM

aiyo all malaysian exams easy lah

wait till stpm and get 4 flat then only u say so.

or try breaking a record with getting straight As' for all SPM subjects

straight A1 would be harder.

upsr, 12 years of age, my my
kids nowadays have good life, xbox for good results, even have internet to use...
study hard samus

i only got my own computer wen i was like 23 year of age

A parent making a promise to a child, assuming 1 year of lead time, only would need to set aside rm100 each month to afford an XBOX 360. and if said child fails to produce results, happy parent would have rm1200 to spend on the whole family.

for some people, even rm100 a month might be a big deal. for others, rm1200 is something they can pull outta their spare cash without a moment's thought.

you dont have to be rich to buy a 360. just really careful with money.

sam, i hope you appreciate the sacrifices your parents would be going thru getting you an xbox. And yeah. Study hard some more you lucky dog.

rm 1200 a month, is somehow equivalent to another persons pay of 1 -2 months
semi D house is much better than those staying in low cost flats

samus, appreciate wat u have

rm 100 a month if you budget properly.

yea, thats true what mud& rx330 say earlier..Our days getting a video console is harder than current life...For me, i have 2jack out my own $$ to buy console..my father won't buy console for me because he's mentality kind of from "old-century" period ppl

um.. a little off topic isnt it?
oh well... maybe they are still young to think of this matter?
modern world, really is....

Don't worry I'm one of the top students in my school.

I really appreciate what I have. I never bugged my parents to get a 360 for me. They sort of wanted to get it for me. My dad did tell me to study hard(I do, seriously) in order to get a 360. I guess they think I deserve it so they''ll get it for me. Also, my dad always buys super-expensive hi-fi machines(he loves music) like every 5 months so he'll be able to afford a 360.

RM100 is my monthly allowance

hahhahaa, no 360 no study hard then? just kidding

u really 12 year old rite? there u are saying u not rich, then now u telling avbody ur dad buys SUPER EXPENSIVE hifi machine every FIVE MONTHS
top student mentality, hahahahahah

IMHO, lowyat really have all sorts of ppl in their forums, never ceased to amaze me

The hi-fi thing is my dad's hobby. He'll do anything to get the best sound quality. But for video games, it's really hard to convince him to get one. So of course we make a deal, which is 7As then get 360. So he no choice lah. We striked that deal last year already.

dude his dad yang kaya =.= not him

azure, tat i know la... how many rich 12 yo kids(self earn) in this world?
of cos is papa rich la

7As, good result, keep up the good work

i remember i had all 4As for my upsr, then SPM i got more than 4 P8s and F9s

Erm i think got 1 10 year old kid very rich self earn 1

well, tat makes one, how many more?

Erm me maybe?

Eh What u work as? I want to work also but I think I'm under age for every job...

wow cool... im a uni student and i only have rm200 per month and tat include petrol!

Oh at least more than mine I don't drive a car yet so no need to buy petrol. Oh and btw, I use my allowance to buy books to read. Not only games.

This post has been edited by samus_ng: Dec 18 2006, 08:58 PM

Yeah I just came back from the Funan IT center. Bought Castlevania PoR and Mechassaout DS(I know stupid game, but my friend wants it so I got it for him). Both games 55 Singapore dollar. Also bought an NDS game card case there
