Australia? U sure?
NZ yes... i've seen some few months back,
EB Games Australia sells expensive games, even Wii's game.
*
The key word there is bargain bin. And have to look at many places (something I really enjoy doing there) like Target, Toy's R'us, K-Mart etc. EB is a terrible place to shop at sleep.gif

And I wonder, wonder going through all the hassle of bringing Maggi there? sweat.gif It's not like you can't find them in oriental shops, plus Indomie's (the real thing, not our Ibumie sleep.gif) mie goreng is the most popular choice for foreign students there

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!  vmad.gif

Girlfriend pesan. wants Maggie Tom Yam. That's why i tried sending at least. tongue.gif But I know food containing egg traces tak lepas. tongue.gif

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

I wasn't fussy either until I started comparing PAL & NTSC shmups sweat.gif

Will do, and if you guys want any orders, let me noe. I can bring them back too. besides, the kastam at KLIA would ask if i want to get checked or not. For sure I don't want. tongue.gif

True, that's what my gf got on. tongue.gif And I like Target somehow. I don't know, just feels a little biased. But I would like to visit a whole lot of places in Aussie.

EBgames is quite tough lah, the pricing can pengsan.

i heard it's most apparent for beat'em ups right? capcom did an awful job with Oni1 and DMC1 PAL conversion so there was no looking back for me then...

Capcom learned their lessons from Chaos Legion onwards by adding 60Hz option. And Ignition (official UK SNK Playmore) also added such option to all their games during the PS2 era. SE never learned their lesson and that's one of the reasons they gone downhill in the PAL market

i think the PA price is not unreasonably high.
US games they are charging ~same price as US, plus ~USD5 for shipping
Japan games also about the same price as Japan.

but i do agree some items already at discount price in US, but PA never adjust the price.

xbox360 games cheaper coz got asia version ma.. if u see PS3 or xbox360 japan titles, also very expensive..

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?

Of course I know that, thats why i don't eat or drink Milo / Maggie in Australia.

The Australia's airport CLEARLY posted warning that no food stuff should be brought into the country,
yet many stubborn Malaysia have to bring their Milo & Maggie in,
that is not only causing long customs queue in airport, also embarassment.

We - fellow Malaysia - was even featured in one of the Australia Custom PR advertisement that was shown on national TV,
(An ad that shows how efficient they are)
the crime -- Bringing foodstuff into Australia,
our fellow Malaysian was being questioned in the documentary for non-compliance to a clearly informed rules.
That is just so embarassing to watch it over and over again on TV.

So guys, stop your Milo and Maggie habit while u r there,
the Caffe Latte, Fish & Chips are good.

But those chips really really nice lor, not something you can here sweat.gif Value for money I guess. It's not all bad with the prices in Oceania countries (since this is our main discussion it becomes, sorry why, no UK tongue.gif). You can actually get the value for what you paid, unlike here sad.gif

The only difference is their censorship, everything else stays the same smile.gif


Added on December 19, 2008, 4:05 pmActually why, have you played FFVI before? I think it's the best in the series (the first time I played was after finishing FFX) IMO. You should give it a try seriously.

P/S: This might sound self promotion, but I'm selling it sleep.gif

kerepek is ok. I checked the immigration's webpage on what food can be brought or not. Dried food gets thru. Maggie kena tahan is only because they contain traces of egg.

besides, why would I lie? The package cost me RM64. haha.

Anyways, I believe it is good if you have Vpost. That helps to bring in cheaper games from US. And i think it's the same with Amazon UK.

I'm always reluctant to deal with US sellers.. I always be very careful when dealing with them, unless someone I know from the forum.

I agree with you.
US ebayers are always problematic.
So i generally buy from Asia region.
