Hi guys, whats your take on buying shared games?

I know this was raised before for Lazada and Shopee platform but I came across a seller on Carousell who claims that it is very safe to purchase shared game account as long as is ‘offline’.

Basically the seller will provide an account for you to link and you just download the game from the ‘redownload’ page and you will need to disable wifi before starting the game.

Find it odd because the game needs to ‘verify’ before starting with internet and only disable thenafter. Is this similar to the approach by sellers on Lazada and Shopee that puts the device and account at risk?

All are the same; it is breaking the TOS.

You only need 1 screw up among the sharing users or the seller was purchasing the game using an unauthorised method. Once Nintendo detects it, the entire cluster will receive hardware banned.

Hi. Want to ask, switch is region free right? Does the physical game region makes any difference? Saw a whole lot of price different between regions.
*
Technically is region free but you still need to choose a region to buy a game. North American is the best region after Japan due to digital promotion and most local shop selling NA game.

Right now there is 10% for giftcard in BestBuy and Amz.

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/microsof...DBrand~Nintendo

You can stack the discount with a discount in Nintendo shop.

It is both an account and hardware ban.

Once ban, the account will have limited access with no access to the digital library and eshop.
The hardware unit will not able to access the Nintendo server.

All games will not be updated and will not be able to use Nintendo online services.

Nintendo is very firm on the ban, prolly the unit is still banned but the buyer just to clarify the misunderstanding on his side...

I believe the seller is playing safe by sharing limited number of users for each accounts/games they bought. For now maybe it's still safe but once Nintendo play strict and has a way to track it then it's time the seller close his business and disappear, left with 10k users NS banned..
*
Actually seller dont need play safe.

Per big cluster is only 8 pax. As long 1 among the cluster of didnt follow the sop, all will be mark or ban. But usually seller is using single pax plan to cut the cost, so seller just bet more buyer sign up before ban happen, he will incremented the profit.

Seller dont really care as the demand is bigger than awareness and there is nothing a buyer can do about it to seller..

You can get a bit discount by using cc to buy discounted gift card from walmart, bestbuy, amz or target. They will give 10% discount time to time.

They also direct sell game codes with bigger discount especially at this moment due to black friday period.

some games are on sale on Amazon and Gamestop

https://www.amazon.com/s?rh=n%3A23634125011...23634125011_sar

Gamestop doesn't accept Malaysia's credit card, so Amazon it is

Gamestop hv geolocation block. If you are outside the US, you will not able to access their website.

Target, Walmart, Bestbuy and of course Amz sell discounted game.

What card did you used, CIMB, Maybank or???
I put billing and mail address the same as well in USA but somehow on my payment didn't get through. Said something about "please check your payment settings" or "oops we cannot proceed for payment. Check your billing address blah blah". And some put hold on my account like Amazon. This is really breaking my hopes down.

and now FE:3H is back on up $39.99. Hoping to get it on $26 but that seems impossible now... cry.gif

Also did you enable overseas spend activation.

Maybank.

Give your cc a call to verified whether the block is cc or trader side since we cant call trader side. From my experience, normally is block by cc. Only walmart system a bit difficult during first purchase but once you have sort out first purchase via chat, rest purchase is usually ok.

You can also purchase discounted gift card from these trader. It will allow you to stack the discount in eshop purchase.

new oled user here...never own a switch b4.. i only bought this for my 7 yrs old son coz he scored 1st place in his class..as a responsible parent, im doing tons of research now regarding the online download games but im  still unclear about the tax free zip code for usa region.
1) do i need to enter a full address which i have no idea. can i just simply create a fake address BUT with a correct zip code??
2)as for credit card, anyone knows if Citibank mastercard compatible as payment method??
3) does 256gb sdcard sufficient? my son likes to play minecraft and mc dungeons. so this 2 games is a must download.not planning to get the cartridge coz worried might get lost or accidentally damaged by him .
4) which brand of sd card is recommended for the switch. would like to hear from fellow switch users here..thanks

1. Find Oregon address for tax-free. You can create a virtual address using USA to Asia parcel forwarding services.

2. You just need to inform the bank to allow charges. For the cheaper digital license price, you can buy gift cards from Walmart, target, amazon or best buy as they have 10% discount from time to time. Then buy the game in eshop during sales to stack the discount. Above retail also sell digital license at a discount from time to time.

3. As big as you are willing to pay. 256gb is a good start.

4. All ok as long it is real card.

Dont buy any shared account in shopee n lzd, it will get you an account and hardware ban.
This site will show the best price to buy.

Stick to US eshop because there are parallel portal such as Amz, target, walmart etc.

It will more likely to get discounted game.
