One of the greatest convinience shop is start selling games(Xbox 360,Playstation3) 24-7 in United States.
You think the 7-11 in Malaysia will selling these games like US?
If Malaysia 7-11 is selling these games,at least at midnight I can go there and buy a pack of rootbeer and a copy of Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 games!

I think when that will happen, our so called "High-Speed" broadband will become 100mbps liao.

there's possibility of this happening, judging by the growth of the gaming market here in malaysia.

but the main obstacle is,

1. it will only be concentrated in klang valley to save their cost. but then since klang valley's user is only a few thousand ppl (maybe lesser), it's not feasible enuff financially for a huge corporation like that to do that in malaysia.

2. 7-11 in malaysia is a franchise owned by berjaya group. they may or may not have the same marketing strategy as the main 7-11 in the US.

3. games distributors here still do not have the support from publishers like they gave their US or Japanese counterparts. blame the middleman.

so yeah.. that's the scenario as i see it.

7-11 used to sell Magic: The Gathering products. it was easy to get packs to draft. but now no more. simply because malaysians do not buy that thing and most stores end up with lotsa old stocks. same thing can happen with videogames unless videogaming market itself is huge in malaysia.

impossible at current state

I doubt it.

or else 7-11 will be a main target of next-Gen Robbers during night

and suddenly our WTS thread become very active with alot of cheap games on sale


Realistically, still not going to happen. it seem gaming is not the mainstream media in Malaysia yet for 7-11 to consider to sell games in their outlet

7-11E malaysia hanya jual condom je... so maybe in year 2020 when out stupid tmnut berukband upgrade to 100mb....

Most Malaysian would waiting for prefer a berukband upgrade than buying the games in 24-7 stores.

7-11 is not 7-11 anymore. at sec 2, they close the shop at midnight because affraid robbers. wtf. have to order through window

kinda remind me of our Petrol station that operate after midnight

xde kerja going to 7-E around 2.00 am to get a copy of Dead Space...

well...getting a copy of DOA X2 around 2 AM is not a bad choice after all

You don't see them renting instant noodles do you?

I wish I can buy my Chrono Trigger DS straight from 7-11......

bang kasi saya satu GoW2 dengan Sirap Slurpie saiz large *hulur duit dekat tingkap..

Back to it's original concept, open at 7 in the morning and close at 11 at night?

people wanna buy Slurpie and candy bar for breakfast?

Not any time soon in Malaysia that's for sure. The 360 and PS3 community is still relatively too small for any convenient stores to risk selling games.

Haha, Ori Chrono Trigger DS in 7-11? Forget it. They can't even sell R4 there because all M'sia DS come "standard" with R4. Yea.... Malaysia market too tiny, and is flushed with pirated games.

If 7-11 is doing this, maybe in Damansara, Bangsar, Hartamas can do. Other place just forget it.

That's the first thing everyone had in mind when they see this thread, but it was to obvious to say it.

Jeez....... I guess I have to be the "waiting for weeks after the release date before getting his copy" ori DS gamer. It'll be a dream come true if I can buy the latest games by walking 10 minutes to the nearest 7-11.

Ai, perli nampak.

Takde lah! Sama saja dengan semua game DS yang saya beli. Kena telefon hari-hari "stock dah datang?"

The only game I ever get on the same date as the US launch is Pokemon Diamond. 7 train + 1 taxi + 1 bus rides + 8+hours + lots of anxiety + a friend (Phoenix_K1) = 1 really happy Pokemon player.

The one at GH ah?

Well, I read this news a few days ago. Was good to have it, but don't think it will be showing up in malaysia considering how much we believe Piracy is still a big problem here. If they scrape that mindset, we might have something going on.

I would be really embarrased if Djinn posted picture of me there, I'm acting like a 10 years old at that time.

Actually selling ori games is more profitable than promoting piracy in the long run in the sellers point of view. It's only a matter of time before of the majority of people download their pirate games rather than paying RM5 for it, thanks to most shops who promote cheapskateness among Malaysian gamers. >_>

Abg: Ok, sume skali RM195. Terima kasih.

Randy Pausch said:"If there is an elephant in the room, don't pretend it is not there, introduce it to ppl."
Wat i do is just say, "Look! There is an elephant!! " When ppl obviously see but pretend it is not there.

Sigh.... wat to do, like u, i am waiting also.... also hope i can walk to 7-11 and get my Chrono.
Even if i order from PlayAsia also have to wait for days.

Actually some local games retailers actually frowned at u if u ask for ori games.
I have went to a few shops asking for Chrono DS,
some of them don't know Chrono, some of them don't sell ori
tired of their blasphemous attitude towards this godly game
will order from PlayAsia soon.

Desperate Gamer



Resistance2 or ur head, pick one!!

haha..mcm la korang ni, jom kita pakat ramai2 pindah duk USA..nk?? kuang3

if they start selling, the chance of them getting robbed is higher. thus higher crime rates and malaysia will not be a safe place to live in anymore

by that time..things have change~

then u can see some mr FIT will sell
cheapo ori game on the street with 7-E price sticker on it

the day 7-11 sell ps3 games nationwide will be the day dey sell alcohol as well

Not enough gamers in Malaysia I guess.

huh?
i thought 7E always got alco?
used to get my beers there wat...

nauzubillah

i dont think 7eleven ready to sell a games...especially in Malaysia itself.

that probably me..in the future

~ now give me LBP and Eternal Sonata, NOW!!

i guess berjaya group is not bothered at all investing in selling games at 7e.

malaysia's 7-11 still have a looooong way to go....

totally agree XP
