durianfan Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I was at Tesco in Thalang the other day. While waiting for the wife to finish her business at the bank I took a look around and found myself perusing the video game stall. The dude was charging silly prices. The latest God of War was listed at 4,000 baht. Batman was 3,000 baht. Absolutely ridiculous, especially since I know that in Bangkok I can get them for half that price. So back to my query: Where can I purchase original PS3 games at decent prices? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansgruber Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 www.play-asia.com They are half the price and ship quickly from Hong Kong to Thailand. Duty is a little bit of a lottery. Most of the time it clears with paying anything but on the odd occasion I've been charged 500-700 import tax. Still outweighed buying here for ridiculous prices. Order today and if the title is in stock, you'll have it within a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearpolar Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 ask young thais in internet cafes for bangkokg websites. They have good prices on real and copied games. Their console prices are also very low. I really cant remember the site i used. Sounds like Nadz something. Most popular one. Games never Dried is kind of a joke unless you get the guy to give you a discount. Once i went to get my wii re-moded and he came back to me with a full hardrive of game and a quote of like 6000b (more than the system is worth) After 5mins he let me go for 2000b (hd was worth about 1500). Just go on Facebook groups you'll find a bunch of ignorant people selling consoles they bought there for 2x the amazon price and then fighting back when you call them on it "because they paid more than that at central/tesco" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durianfan Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 ^Thanks. Nadz is where I used to go for games when I lived in Bangkok. I also bought my PS3 from them. Didn't know I could order online from them. Batman is 690 baht from them....over 3,000 down here. No excuse for the ridiculous prices I see at Tesco.

Bardeh Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I went to that little games stall in Lotus Thalang yesterday, to have a look at his prices for Xboxes. He wanted 15,000 baht for a 4 gig model, which is just insane. Over double the RRP. Whenever I'm in there, he's sitting playing games, and I've never seen a single customer. At those prices I'm not surprised. How on earth does he make any money??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
