Play Asia

Phantom Onyx

Hi, i was thinking about getting left 4 dead 2 ( Aussie) off Play Asia and i was wondering is the site any good?

PolloDiablo

Yes, it's one of the bigger import sites out there. They're always quick with me, at least, and I'm in the US.

Phantom Onyx

Cool thanks for that.

Yellow Ranger

Yeah, for what it's worth, I buy stuff from there all the time and have never had a problem.

SmokeStacks

Play-Asia is the shit. I started buying from them after Sony ate Lik-Sang, and I have never looked back.

Shipping is pretty cheap, too, all things considered.

Dis

Yes that site is credible.

Not to hijack the thread but, if it says its the Asia version does that mean that the manual is not going to be in English ?

Corbius

It depends on the game. Most of my Asia version games have manuals in Chinese and/or Korean, but some have English too.

Play-Asia is great. I can get free shipping since im in Korea, and stuff gets here pretty quickly.

Also, if Play-Asia is out of stock or something, you can also check yesasia, which is also a good import site.

Pardon my ignorance/stupidity but if it says "no region protection" I take it it will work with my xbox? I'm in Australia so PAL (or whatever)

Yesasia tends to be more expensive than Play-Asia, even with their cheaper shipping (to the US, anyway), but they are indeed a solid site to order from.

As a fellow Aussie I'm going to pimp 365games here. I picked up my copy through there since it works out about $10 cheaper.

PC games drop rapidly in price over in the UK so they become cheap quick and offer free postage to Australia which arrives in about a week or so. They mainly carry the bigger titles though so if you're after more niche stuff Play Asia is probably better. And since they're in the UK you always get PAL software if you're buying for the 360 or PS2.

L4D2 on Play-Asia is $49.90 US + $5 for the cheapest postage comes to about $65 or so Australian.

L4D2 on 365games is £31 which comes to $55 Australian and change.


They don't have the dirt cheap sales that Play-Asia has though.

Cool - I think the store I bought "Wet" from on ebay was a front(?) for 365games.co.uk - remember seeing the name in the email somewhere

Site is credible. Ordered some games and a nintendo DS from them once.


It's possible you'll have to pay import costs from your location. I believe you can send them a mail if you want the invoice price (on the package) lowered to avoid this.

Kelor

I think you only have to pay costs if you hit over $500 or $1000 Australian. One of the two.

I've never had it crop up and I imported a Wii without any issues. Most sellers list contents as either games or digital media from memory.
