Considering how our PC games are sold at RM100+, I guess it's safe to just divide the price by Singapore exchange rate.

So, Z: PH is selling at RM140 / 2.2 = SGD63 .. More or less..

This is just rough estimation.

you might be able to get it cheaper by 10 ringgit at tops. Maybe 20 if you can bargain

But the price for a DS game is around 140 here. Cheapest. So jsut do some maths and you should be fine.

RM140 cheapest? Brain Age, and it's budget price costs as low as RM80. Even Picross is selling @ RM90.

I only recall paying something like SGD49.90 for Red Alert last time.. That was how I got this estimated price.

Yeah the price won't differ much, it could be more expensive over there too.However if you're lucky you could get some stuff you cannot find here, I saw a shop in Singapore selling the DS Opera web browser before.

you'll be looking to spend between SG$69 to SG$79 depending on the game or rather the region it's from. the Japan import games are definitely more ex than US/Local games.

actually if you go to the reputable video game stores in funan IT mall rather than Sim Lim, the prices there are pretty fixed....new games usually cost btw $55-59 while older games can go to as lower as $35 icon_rolleyes.gif

it's simply a haven compared to what you find here...... whistling.gif

NDS Piracy? When I was there last month I didn't really see too much R4ing going on - but that's maybe cause I didn't go to Sim Lim...

I got Brain Age 2 for SGD 32. Not bad, but also comparable to what it would have cost in Malaysia had it been sold here.

No idea, went to Funan and most game shops were selling original stuff. No one offered any alternative.

And when you think about it, if you earn SGD, gaming is affordable. So, there isn't a pressing need to buy pirated products.
