I like how you called me insane and gave me a one star review for my Switch ROI.

lol, what about importing one ourselves?
do we need to pay import duty/gst?

naise, thanks
oso possibly need to do SIRIM certification too... got that when i imported my phone few years ago before gst, that's another at least RM100
did ur courier handle all that for u?

Not worth the trouble. The bundle will most likely be cheaper. Zelda is a locked in day 1 and they will probably make us pay around $30 for 1,2 switch, which is fair enough. Better than importing, wasting the $30 on shipping and no warranty.

Well, first of all, considering that there's no Nintendo of Malaysia to make a complaint, there's literally nothing we can do but NOT buy it/spend more money importing it. Also finding an import unit from US/JP is almost impossible at this point. Console market is not big enough in Asia or more specifically Malaysia for Nintendo of America to do something about it. If you are so upset about Maxsoft, vote with your money, make an online petition that will change nothing or suggest something good. To think that Malaysia wasn't even listed as one of the official launch country is enough to see how much Nintendo care about SEA. But if you plan on importing, sure, why not. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely agree with you, I've been through this EVERY single console launch because somehow they manage to screw us up, and every single discussion will involve someone saying the same thing, some rebuttal and somehow an online petition to change stuff, but the truth is, our small market don't matter to them. Look at both of the recent case of PS4 Pro and PSVR launch, both funny cases.

Maybe they hope their customers will sound Nintendo/Maxsoft for them?

Why is it so hard for them to decide the official price here? The disadvantage of having only one official distributor for this region, bleargghhh

I pretty much have every console since the Megadrive (except Nintendo old consoles) up to the WiiU (except PS3,PS4,XBone, which i have lost interest in).

I doubt you have more consoles than me. PS2 alone i have 3 units (because it sucks and breaks easily).

eh, there's 10% import duty for videogames product?

I am very hype up now...Gonna buy a PS4!!
Half the price only, ton of cheaper games, cheaper accessories. Lol.

Only one co-op game, Bomberman is available at launch right? It will be best to wait and see. Zelda will not be out of stock.

Btw, what's the price for extra controllers?

With rm2k tag how many still proceeding the preorder here?

currency exchange + import + other stuff, you will most probably end up at 1.6 or 1.7k (as estimated from some shops)
Zelda alone cost RM260, you will be around RM2k already. Might as well add RM100, hassle free and local warranty.
In Malaysia, if you want anything, better buy it at launch before MYR goes down further. Seeing how Switch doesn't have a standard price, risky to wait.

I do admit i forgot i am in the Nintendo forum...LOL.

But it's amusing to see all the kiddy butthurts, if anything.
