    Can I have the $50 coupon pls? cheers

    Ok the 8 dollar coupon goes to (sigh, cant believe i have to type this name) Hefty Langer :(

    Hehe:p

    I've got one of these as well, but have a couple of orders due to arrive that always ship with a $5 off any $50 order voucher...
    So the first 2 people drop me a pm can have a $5 off one (might be 1-2 weeks before I can send the code to you)

    Speaking from experience, I rarley use the vouchers I get from Play-Asia.
    Reason why you might ask, well you can only use them on orders greater than
    USD 50 or USD 100 and if your order is above USD 50 you're more likely
    to end up paying customs duties - thus negating any voucher saving. ;)

    Better off ordering items one at a time and shipping them individually.

    They also cleverly price many games at $49.90. However when a game is confirmed as region-free they usually up the price so the vouchers can come in handy then.

    Out of curiosity has anyone ever had to pay customs on a Play-asia order? I'd imagine the slim dvd-like packets are less likely to be stopped.

    I order a couple of titles each month from them and have yet to pay
    any customs fees - but I always order 1 title at a time as I did hear
    stories of people getting nabbed about a year back.

    You're correct about play-asia increasing prices once region-free status
    is confirmed. The secret is to preorder the title once it's added to the site
    and then cancelling it if it's later announced it's not region free, just means
    you must keep an eye on release dates and announcements on whether it's
    region free (nothing a quick google can't help with).

    ill take the $12 one if its still going should help offset the cost of guitar hero

    Two more coupon codes up for grabs if anyone wants them. Same coupon details as the OP. Reply if you want them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,850 ✭✭✭Fnz


    I'd like one, if there's still one left, BNC. :)

    The 8 dollar one if possible. Cheers.

    Aye, I copped onto that after ordering Assassin's creed early in the hopes that it'd be region free, fairly chuffed that I managed to get the US version for $58:)

    Hi, is it possible to order PS3 games on PlayAsia and get them shipped to Ireland?

    I selected several games on the site and they all said it they could not be shipped to the EU.

    Thanks

    A $12 off $100+ order voucher available from me, PM if you want it.

    Just used my $8 off to grab The Orange Box for 360; €32 delivered with some weird japanese sweets.

    Short answer is no for PS3 games - another reason why I prefer my 360
    to my PS3.

    For the long answer google 'Lik-sang and Sony' and see why Play-Asia don't
    fancy Sony closing them down ;)

    I ordered two region free games the last time I got a voucher (~€70), then went on holidays for 2 weeks.
    Came back and had 2 days to pay €25 or they would send the games back.
    Still worked out cheaper than buying them elsewhere but was a pain in the ass.

    Were they both packaged together?

    (Also big thanks to Ri_Nollaig for the $8 - Orange box for Xbox360 on its way - added spare DS sytlii (styluses?) to bring order over $50)

    Fingers crossed for customs now!

    PS - Very good tip, Gran Hermano!

    As far as I remember, yeah. It was about 15 months ago, haven't ordered two at the same time since.

    Cheers Gasoliner. Used voucher for $5 off Guitar Hero 2 for XBOX.

    Play-Asia is the only store that has it available on it's own (without guitar) so it's ideal really.
