hey guys, any idea why its really hard to get a copy of r1 games?
or am i not looking hard enough? looking for a physical copy of R1 ffxv is difficult...
*
I think the answer is

1) It's too expensive to import R1 games when it's cheaper to have Asia region.

2) No one cares (except me and you)


Mostly 1. But 2 is pretty damn close too.

yup. im R1 collector but surrendered & selling all my R1 games. (currently slowly collecting R1 vita games - 30+ titles and counting)
R1 is hard to come by due to our currency. taking stock from asia is cheaper. at least that is what i can think about.

i usually bought from play-asia. go check it out. quite expensive but sometimes u can get better deal with other titles for example last week night of azure only cost around rm100, and this week star ocean cost only around 100+ as well. postage using fedex economy will cost u around rm50+. if u combine with other cheaper titles, u get a nice deal. thumbsup.gif

and u also missed holiday sale in amazon last couple weeks. they selling ff xv for about rm230 including shipping to malaysia. as a collector, i know it is hard but once u get what u want, it feel really good isnt it

I will agree that it's mostly about the chase. You could get it cheaper sometimes on the PSN store. But finally tracking a game that you want down that no one in the country has for a good price is a great feeling. I bought KH 1.5 Remix 4 times just to get one without the Spanish on the R1 cover.

...and you could have just done it with 1 copy by editing a .psd file of the exact same boxart from vgboxart or deviantart. Then going to a printer shop and request a print from their laser printer, of which many is equal in quality to the same print you get from the retail release.

play asia does not cover tax, fedex will charge tax if shipment exceed rm500.actually they pay for us in advance, so we need to pay them back.

amazon is another story, all taxes is included if we use express shipping, im not sure about standard shipping though

EMS if there is a tax , you need to pay first at their centre somewhere at klia ( poslaju centre klia ) , then collect your parcel ... so i prefer dhl and fedex for the tax payment method , less hassle thumbsup.gif

ems is myblast choice.sometimes buying from hk n china use ems. even amazon.uk they will use ups.

for ppl who want to buy from amazon or amazon.uk,dont worry. just pay what it stated in checkout.it should cover all expenses.

less then rm500 no tax , more then that = yes ... my advice choose express shipping , bit expensive but less hassle ( no need to claim your parcel at sepang )

Would love to collect Jap games but ever since the introduction of Cero rating system, they have the most censorship outside of Germany and Australia. There is still fan service and cover art is usually the best though.
