TecAsia is just the venue, bro.  sweat.gif Consolegame.com.my is the one whos selling the game through online store.

But, at TecAsia if you go inside towards the end, there's a Games section, selling PC and console games (Ps3, 360, Wii).

I am asking this out of curiousity , so Please do not take any comments Offensively, because there are by all means, not to offend any one.
Is the game selling at rm 229 for Normal version ?
Because that's about rm 40 more expensive than the one selling on Playasia .
( I am not going to be sure on the actual prize when it reached here, it can be even cheaper than that )
An example, if the preordered buyers are unlucky enough and
didnt' get any figurine, didn't get any posters  ,didn't get any merchandise, and didn't won any of those prize ,
Are those just  going to walk away with a rm 40 for a dog tag?
That sounds kinda unfair, it is a big game, but many of us who could afford a MGS4 and PS3 are workers, imagine that we burn our stamina just to attend the launch party in the midnight, and some of us actually have to work ,its the weekday afterall.

Do you think there will be some kinda method to sorta 'BALANCE' the prizes up? So atleast the people that show up can have some kinda more encouragement ?

I am sure if someone is so lucky enough to walk away with every single of those prizes are going to piss a lot of people off when they haven't got a hand on anything and have to wait a whole night for the game.

The rm 40 is not really that much to a lot of people ,but it is about the enthusiasm to show up in a weekday..at such a late time..

Agree wif you. Pre-order LE at Gamestop US get to get you free mgs artbook whilst some other shops across the globe giving other freebies like figures and etc.

leme share wif you people my experiences-Thanks to advent of internet, MOST of the times, i always get better deal buying abroad and have it delivered here than going to local shop and get induced by statement like "we are selling at lost" or phrases like "selling with very thin profit margin". I have been buying watch strap, replacement camera batteries, camera accessories, watches, games & accessories, figures and etc. Savings are easily at 30% or more. Thats a lot to me.

In Malaysia, we always have to pay higher price altho generally, our income not that hi. Look at LCD TV and cars. I understand import tax but are we implying that other countries selling cheaper because they do not impose tax? Except to maximise profit. If car taxes have been lowered, why car prices have not been reasonably lowered? Except to maximise profit by riding on other excuses.

To me, every single cent counts and i do not like to feel cheated as a customer. I believe, we all would feel the same as an effective consumer at best. whistling.gif

Honestly, the organizing committee did a wonderful job in coordinating preparation for the event meticulously. i was hoping to be there along with the crowd during the launch, just to enliven Konami's first official event here in Malaysia ( is it not?) So, no hard feeling guys. Was merely stating our opinion on the game pricing mechanism and scenarios elsewhere. I'm deeply sorry if some of our forum member or organizing committee were accidentally offended by my remarks earlier. Again, merely stating our opinion on the game pricing mechanism and scenarios elsewhere.
