Is introduced here by pel
I hope that you gurus here can introduce / guide me to the place where I can get vintage stuff in Malaysia.
Currently, I am looking for Xbox / Dreamcast and SNES (if I got sufficient fund).
Thank you.

QUOTE(gundamalpha @ Jul 10 2009, 02:47 PM) Pel himself selling a DC now right? Thanks. gundamalpha for the reply. Well, at least you are better than me.And we are no gurus lah, just like to play old games and living in the past For Xbox I nearly got a deal here, but the seller is reluctant to sell because I am in Penang and he doesn't want to do delivery For Dreamcast, yes pel is selling one now For SNES, I think the NTSC/J (or Asia version) is better. But as long as there is a power adaptor + can be connected to the LCD I am OK d. Just one more question, is Gamecube / Panasonic Q considered vintage / retro too? Thank you.

QUOTE(gundamalpha @ Jul 10 2009, 03:00 PM) That's a tough one.. by date they are vintage, but by technology I'm still overwhelmed by PS2, XBox and GC. Heck I feel overwhelmed by some PS1/Saturn/N64 games as well In KK there are still old XBox stock which couldn't sell. - I like this Just be more patient and I'm sure you'll find a XBox. In KK there are still old XBox stock which couldn't sell. For DC there's one seller selling a full set US version in the garage sales, the price is RM350 IIRC. And finally US SNES is the most difficult to come by, not because it's rare but because shipping from US is overkill. JP SFC is more readily available if you are willing to buy online, but the problem is you'd be stuck with Japanese games. I guess I will go for US SNES then....but will need to be patient on that...ahh...shouldn't throw mine away last time.... Haha...for my side, I think I "under-utilize" my PS1, always just keep playing winning eleven and the mandarin three kingdom last time.....believe it or not, I did not even start FF7 until they announced PS3 Added on July 10, 2009, 4:21 pm QUOTE(pel @ Jul 10 2009, 03:49 PM) Hi, alex. Glad u can join us. Yup like gundam said, u can still buy xbox easily inside the forum.same as gamecube/dreamcast. But if want to buy a new one, playasia is currently selling gamecube for about RM250 including shipping here. Thanks Pel......gundam is the "tokey kedai" here. so, he's our guru. hehe. Dreamcast anyone? This post has been edited by alex13: Jul 10 2009, 04:21 PM |

Just check Playasia...wow...they still got quite a number of Sega Saturn left.
Anyone knows what "loose" means for the pre-owned consoles there? |

Research in ebay yesterday. Found an old and fully refurbished NES seller that sell 1 console, 2 controllers, a gun and one game + 1 yr warranty for 99.99USD.
Was very interested for it until I got the delivery cost - 42.99USD This post has been edited by alex13: Jul 21 2009, 11:25 AM |

QUOTE(S4PH @ Jul 20 2009, 01:53 PM) My 12 year old Ps1 memory card just gave way where can i find a new 1 any ideas,i guess not many shops sell it now? There is this shop in Tesco Kampar that is selling refurbished set PSOne - Slim. Last time I asked them, it cost about RM350 for everything. It could be cheaper if you just want the console.There are also quite a few selling around in lowyat.net, but most of it is PSOne Slim too. For the fat one, you might need to dig deeper. In my place, Penang, I found a shop near USM selling it, though it is also a refurbished / used set.

Hi all,
in Playasia got those "Greatest Hits", "Ultimate Hits", "Collector Edition" classic games. Is it worth to get those? Anything I should know about that? Thank you. |

QUOTE(chronims @ Aug 3 2009, 10:19 AM) This one is the same as Suikoden for PS1 right ? why don't buy the US PS1 version instead ? unless you can understand Japanese/ comfortable playing in Japanese of course. Have fun I like the game so much that I played about 5 times. I also played Suikoden 2 for 3 - 4 times. However, I am quite disappointed for Suikoden 3 - 5....not so well made.... |

Hi all,
Friend just got a NTSC / U Dreamcast and leave it in my place while on business trip (for a couple months!!!). Any good reco where I can get games like Shenmue / Skies of Arcadia / Daytona from reliable source with good price? I check Playasia and they have very few things left for Dreamcast. Thank you. |
