I got most of my original PS2 game at RM50 to RM130 range. All game, including console and PC, will drop in price over time, I usually buy game that are few years back while only pick a latest greatest game if I really like it. (Currently waiting to import PM5 from Taiwan and Odin Sphere from Japan)

Console game often will release economic edition or best buy version after 2 or 3 year after release. The packaging may not be great, a simple DVD box with manual and disc, but the game still run perfectly and that is the most important point.
I got the complete .hack series for only RM150. Imagine that, 4 PS2 DVD game for only RM150 that is about RM38 each. That is less then my monthly hand phone bill! The game will last me several months before I need to buy another game.

Try getting your game online, you can easily find good bargain for older titles.

True, back in the 80s and 90s while I was still a school boy back then. Me and my friends would coordinate on games to buy so that we can swap among each other, playing every game for the price of one.

2nd hand market for console and PC game arent that strong in Malaysia, due to cheap and easy access to Jack version.
Down south in Singapore, I was made to believe there is an active 2nd hand market for console games. Even new titles will soon goes up for sale within a month, I have yet to experience it myself but several of my friends down there are buying and selling 2nd hand console games around.

Also, I have sign up to www.Jumboplay.com since last year. They offer legal download of PC game, although older titles, for a very affordable price of RM20 a month. Currently they have 75 games with 3 new game added each month without additional cost.
Since then I have totally stop buying western/English PC game(Jack or otherwise) and get my game solely from Jumboplay.

Yup, it is pretty difficult to find original retail box of game outside of KL.
Try checking online shop, such as www.play-asia.com, http://www.hmv.co.jp/index.asp?lang=en.

If you dont mind older titles, you can try www.jumboplay.com.

My mistake, since you didnt mention you are looking for PC or console.
I mostly buy original console games and few Japanese PC game from the site i mention in my previous post.
While download most of my western PC game from Malaysia's only legit PC game download service at http://www.Jumboplay.com

a Car is a Car.
Why bother to get Mercedes, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari when you can just get Proton for a much lower price?

Simple because it is worth it, when you have a major crash in a Proton good chance you will be either serious wounded or dead. While the other car model offer better protection that can saves your life. Not to mention other feature such as GPS, leather seat and multi CD changer etc.

People buy original because they know it is worth their money. It give them access to what pirated version cannot, such as Internet multiplayer, tech/patch support, stable performance and merchandises.
