Aiya, simple analogy.

kaya leh lah beli game western. But the AUD 30 DQ 4 is totally awesome. Serious.

i was referring to this actually.... kidding only la gundam

Anyway, DQ4 for AUD30, DQS Wii for AUD30, those are bargains if you ask me

@ kyo - kaya leh la no need to search global prices unlike me

Ah damn, i got hit.

Too bad your Wii is US why, I see a lot of UK eBayers selling Wii games for cheap, even after shipping included. Damn tempting

Example of Cheap gundam?

DQS for ~RM80 brand new shipped, DQ4 for ~RM70 shipped, Wii Play + remote ~RM150 shipped, not cheap meh?

that wii mote sounded like buy Wii Mote get free Wii Play instead.

i gave up on PAL games since the 32-bit/PSOne era, was a serious PAL gamer since i was studying in UK then but got really discouraged about the shoddy PAL conversion everyone were complaining about (50-60hz, black borders appearing). Now even with this gen region-free consoles, i rarely take a chance with PAL versions anymore.

sorry ah kyo, i thought gundam got an overseas gf too now i'm really confused....

Yeah, old PAL was really a let off with all those 50Hz issues, but not anymore since the HD era, even PAL Wiis can output 480p, so the gap is really smaller

Not to worry. Actually, I am like Gundam, sourcing for overseas supplier to sell games here. The problem is, MOQ, customs, those things become a big bother to be honest.

Yeah, might not sound wise for looking foreign supplies seriously. But for personal use it's ok

Well, i'm looking at Singapore now. There are some ways that I believe can work, but who knows.

I used to send Maggi to my gf at aussie along with other things. That was missing. But I understand that entirely.

actually looking at the rate of games hitting the PAL region (Disaster, FSR) .... hail the return of PAL games. i heard Fatal Frame IV also got a PAL release date liao, it's true?

@ gundam, i probably couldn't tell the difference running at 50/60hz but the complaints felt like i was buying damaged goods. still keeping my PAL collection though, it's one of the highlight of my collection since ppl weren't buying ori during the PSOne era.

Send food to Australia?
Of course missing, the custom will just throw it away when they detect it!

Hey why Malaysian like to send Maggie and Milo to Australia?
Aussie custom hates it,
and it is mostly Malaysians that caused the long queue at the Australian Airport customs,
--- STOP bringing Maggie and Milo to Australia u guys!

Kyo, remember to stock up when you go to visit your GF. If they hit the bargain bins, thay are really cheap. I bought 2 wired 360 controller for RM50 each last time, Wii Play + Nunchuck for <RM200.. heck, Cube's Zelda Collection for RM30

Australia? U sure?
NZ yes... i've seen some few months back,
EB Games Australia sells expensive games, even Wii's game.

Australia Milo taste different, like hot chocolate rather than the milo we know and love. u can find them there too no problem but i guess most can't get used to the taste.

I believe they want to send maggie to Australia bcoz the maggie in aussie isn't that delicious/tasty...
I've seen some blogs saying that they buy in a bulk, then go to aussie..

don't you know that?
