Play-Asia have a really nice sale on for once, and we decided to compile a quick list of the most interesting deals.
Play-Asia is thanking customers for seven years of business by reducing the price off seven region-free items.
Heads up if you want Play-Asia coupons. Their holiday newsletter contains $8 off $50 and $12 off $100 coupons.
Play-Asia is temporarily marking all of their inventory down 15% from now until October 31. There are some great deals to pick up like the Ultimate Hits re-release of Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ for $30 (that’s the same price as Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories alone), the English version of Siren: New Translation [...]
True to life size Final Fantasy XII armor is expensive. The average rat hunter in Rabanastre can’t plunk down $1099 plus shipping and handling for a 1:1 scale Judge Magister Gabranth helmet. The Archadian empire is obviously loaded and if you are too you can pick up this collectable. The price easily eclipses all of [...]
For one week Play-Asia is dropping the price of Naruto Shippuuden: Dairansen! Kage Bunsen Emaki down to $19.90. Tomy released the game this past February and since it has Shippuuden characters I wouldn’t expect it to appear in North America any time soon. Unlike Tomy’s many other Naruto games Naruto Shippuuden: Dairansen! Kage Bunsen Emaki [...]
From now until July 20th, most instock items will be discounted 25%. Unfortunately, that means imports coming later this month like Persona 4 and Rhythm Tengoku Gold won't be part of the promotion. However, you can get a good deal on Battle Fantasia (PS3), Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne (US PS2), Ouendan (DS), Naruto Shippuuden: Dairansen! [...]
Persona 3 initiates now if your chance to chance to get pick it up Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne without breaking the bank. New copies are on the market and they are cheaper than the original manufacturer retail price. Play-Asia is selling them for just $44.90, way less than Gamestop’s “used” price. According to the import [...]
To celebrate Easter Play-Asia is dropping 20% off everything as long as it is on their shelves. This deal comes at an opportune time for eager Nintendo Wii owners who just got a Freeloader. Many Japan-only Wii games like Eyeshield 21, Naruto Shippuden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX and the Simple Wii Series Vol. 4: The [...]
Strange, but true fact: If you live in the USA importing games from Play-Asia is actually cheaper than buying them in Japan, if you include currency exchange. It’s been a long time coming, but the Yen to US dollar exchange rate has dipped below the comforting 100 yen for $1 ratio since last week. [...]
Play-Asia just started their annual Chinese New Year sale and there are over 5,000 items to sort through. (Note: This number includes movies, CDs, toys and such.) The big seller may be the import friendly Ouendan 2, which is only $30. A bunch of less import friendly Wii software like Dragon Quest Swords, Eyeshield 21 [...]
Despite initial speculation that pre-orders of Dairantou Smash Brothers X, better known as the Japanese Super Smash Brothers Brawl, would be severely bottlenecked two import retailers have a new tone. Play-Asia notes a restock "covering all currently outstanding preorders will arrive on or before coming Monday, February 4th." NCSX sent out an initial batch of [...]
In light of having a little extra holiday cash I glanced around the internet to find a place to spend it. Conveniently, Play-Asia has some cheap imports including temporary price drop on Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2, which reduces it to $29.90 or the same amount of money as a domestic NDS game. If you haven’t [...]
I think we mentioned how Play-Asia is stepping into the publishing biz under the moniker eastasiasoft. Their first project is Söldner-X: Himmelsstürmer, a shmup built for PCs sold in some kind of mystery bundle package for fifty smackers. You could get the PC version when it arrives this winter or you can wait for it [...]
