Ya could you do that? I hate preauths because I usually have a low balance between paychecks and preauths are basically the same as full withdrawals. I use a debit card so...

Thanks man!

Yeah no probs, it'll take a couple of days before the CC updates so will let you know

Just so you know - i've checked now and nothing has come up as yet but like i said, i don't really expect it to straight away!

On the item page itself, it explicitely states "Play asia does not charge your credit card before item is in stock". And on their payment info section, it states that only Paypal orders are charged immediately, but Credit Cards you don't pay up front.


So hopefully I'm good.

Would still like to know how you fare w/ your CC in a few days...

EXCELLENT! Thank you Workshed. I found out that the "preauth" was just a 1$ charge to verify your CC (as you said above I think?) so I'm good too.

To be honest, I would not buy at play-asia cause it´s pretty expensive. It´s a Hong Kong based shop and if u compare the prices with normal stores in HK its even double the price. During my time in HK I saw the Revival Selection (the one with the artbook) a couple of times and it cost like 300 KHD (about 30€). Of course, most of u guys don´t have any other possibility to buy that stuff but I asked a friend of mine who lives there and she bought it for me this week for 200 HKD (sealed). The price at play-asia is still 45USD (about 37€) for the normal version. And shipping is not even included in the price.

If you know of another site that will ship internationally for less then that would be great but a lot of these places can get away with charging more because we have no other way of getting this stuff

30 Euro may be expensive for you StyX, but that is ABSURDLY cheap for me (and I think many others can agree who buy/sell with USD, Euro and especially GBP).

45 USD is also INSANELY cheap. A normal game (no special box, no CE, no LE) in USA costs $60 USD brand new on release day (excluding tax and shipping if you buy online), so you can see how I would not consider 45 USD expensive by any means.

This Biohazard Chronicles HD set at play asia is extremely well priced! It's going to cost me a total of $68 USD (INCLUDING shipping) and that is an incredible bargain considering I'm getting two brand new games, packaged in a special Asian exclusive box and on physical disc (where in USA and all of Europe only gets download only). I'm basically paying only $8 more than I would for a brand new game and I'm getting an awesome Asian exclusive.

No offense at all is intended here StyX, please understand that. I'm just explaining things from my perspective living here in USA.



PS
There are also many Japanese shops run by single owners who are nice people (collectors and such) and they always get you things from the Asian region for normal prices there and don't inflate like on ebay. One such shop is solarisjapan.com Highly recommended! You will only pay what he pays to acquire something. Nothing more or less.
