My side if I can get also at least usd400 without games. Japan unit. Syukur la GH sellng *cheaper*

My friends just ask impulse about the price. They also not yet have the actual price yet. But they said should be around rm2k++ too.

oh ok.
then assuming usd-myr exchange rate is 4.5
[(300*1.1)+110]*1.06*4.5=~RM2100
I guess that import duty for consoles threw many ppl off since not many people (including me) know that. taking consideration of their own profit, price not really surprising now. but there's a flaw with this logic as obviously gh doesn't take the stock @ retail price from maxshit, so yeah this current situation is still scummy enough
not to mention extra RM100 for neon ones

btw do we have pricing from Singapore yet?

I'm just gonna say ... TQVM la MAXSOFT for being greedy!! Without the additional 1,2 Switch game which is more like a demo unit, it can be less than that. RM100 difference between grey and neon unit? What a bunch of baloney! I know regardless of the price many people will still buy it, it will still sell well cos consumers here always baik & terima saja whatever distributor/sellers throw at them. Glad I did not preorder it. But this has always been the case for anything popular launched in Malaysia, like the person who bought an iPhone for RM6000 or RM8000. Malaysians never hesitate to spend thousands on gadgets but always complain when minyak naik

The extra RM100 is very shady of GH. Let's see if other shop does it too, but for now, this absolutely makes me avoid GH at all cost.
Funny how import duty and all other stuff comes into play exclusively for Switch. Past console Wii U, 3DS, PS4 all priced so fairly.


Again, very sure the RM100 extra is just GH's doing.
I prepared RM2k for worst case, just in case suddenly MYR goes down again because I plan to get one regardless of bundles or not, jokes on me.
400usd PS4 Pro only cost RM1.8k but Switch bundle cost RM2.5k...
Really considering on pulling my pre-order, i just felt stupid if I seriously cave in.

Haha, guess the 1.6k dream is no more

When one start to put a pricetag with rm2k, there is no doubt others will follow the course of rm2k.

So let's give Maxshaft a round of applause for the 2.4k bundle.
I'm cancelling my preorder once Impulse officially announce the final price.

Guess have to drop ady, rm2. 1k is killing me

I think most of the local game shop here the price will be the same. Maybe some will cheaper by rm100 or so.
Since Malaysia only got one Nintendo distributor only.

ikr. that's why that 10% import duty comment by someone in that reddit post throw me off a bit. i guess it's taken into consideration for new imported console, not well established ones lol. pretty sure pre-price cut 3ds back then was 1k+ when the currency exchange during that time is less than 3.5

I wonder how anyone can sell the Switch when Zelda is available on WiiU.

nintendo for me is mainly zelda and mario but with the current price of switch i rather wait till reasonable price before i can start considering getting it.

sold my wiiU

Because switch is anew console which u can play 3D zelda on the go?
I really hope impulse give us rm1999

Spend the 2k for new CPU to use Cemu.

Nah. Console is console for me. Just purchase a new CPU for my daily work

still need wii u to rip your own games... unless of course ppl want to admit themselves as ehem...
anyway I rather not trouble myself to moderate grey area discussion in this forum (i'm a lazy guy sorry), and hopefully ppl here can do me a favour as well

but should be alright if buy the game although play at PC, right? Win-win.

FYI. There is no import duty for video games, console are devices. I have import 2 set of Rock back 4 bundle from oversea and it were hold by custom and when I collect, I just need to pay 6% gst.
