Dear Citizen of Marioland,

Have been planning to buy Wii games from PayAsia for a while,
well.... i end up getting 360 games instead of Wii one,
because PlayAsia seems to sell Wii games at a premium.

The pricing is almost close to a PS3 games,
and i thought Wii games should be cheaper in general?

I absolutely don't understand the motives PA charge them at premium,
yes the Wii console is rare, but Wii disc is not difficult to manufacture, right?

Example:

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes
Price: US$ 69.90 (~248.09 MYR)
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-z3-49-en-70-31ew.html

Naruto Shippuuden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX 3
Price: US$ 68.90 (~244.54 MYR)
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-z3-49-en-70-30n9.html

Bleach: Versus Crusade
Price: US$ 69.90 (~248.09 MYR)
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-z3-49-en-70-30nu.html

Animal Crossing: City Folk
Price: US$ 54.90 (~194.85 MYR)
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-z3-49-en-70-2zr6.html

de Blob
Price: US$ 59.90 (~212.60 MYR)

Wii market is flooded with pirates....
if Malaysia or South East Asia Wii market u r refering to, yes.

No demand will lead to higher prices? Which economist theory is it?
Sarah Palin's theory?

Oh PA kill me pls.....

But how come their 360 titles are like so cheap?
My goodness i got my Halo 3 & Midnight Club:LA for US$14.90.

Yes!!! Me too,
now when i see the Nights Journey of Dreams sells at US$19.90,
i got mix feeling coz i bought it at US$49.90 damn it.

But well, i won't wait for MadWorld or House of Zombie Overkill.

Er.... Dead Rising Wii eh? The 360 version is good, not sure about Wii.
And if PA is ripping me off for DR Wii at US$54.90, i won't buy it.
Afterall I have the 360 version.

Well, save up for RE5 or Conduit better,
Or that "secret" Zelda game that Shigeru says in development.

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!

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

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.

When u r caught by Custom, tell them u r from Mars,
not Malaysia.

Oh my goodness, hope i won't see u in any Australia airport....

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

Durian.

Remember to bring back some bargain Wii games, if they let u in.

Come back come back.
The Overseer is here.

OK. So there is no "credible" explanation on PA selling Wii games at
a premium, huh?

OK fine. I am dumb ok.
Will close this thread, it served its' purpose.
