Resident Evil HD Chronicles - Physical Box Set?

[Workshed]

Wasn't me but no probs

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

I know that´s the major problem.

I remember there were some stores in Tsim Sha Tsui and Sham Shui Po which ship internationally (at least there were signs in front of the stores saying so). But of course I don´t remember the names.

I will ask some friends in HK if they know any stores which ship internationally.

I also just looked on gamehubs where I used to order my Asian stuff but looks like they are just getting a few titles. Two or three years ago it was really cheap and they got all new games for like 35USD and shipping was 5USD (from Malaysia).

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.

I know that is not meant to to be offensive at all

Maybe it´s just I know it´s more expensive than the normal price but of course the retailers also want to make a profit. It´s just I wanted to make sure you guys know that it´s not THAT cheap. Of course it´s not horribly expensive as well but just wanted to mention

And 30€ aren´t a big deal for me as well. Actually, it´s a good deal for the new Biohazard Chronicles but 45€ for the old one (the Revival Selection) is double the price which I consider to be expensive.

Didn´t want to make trouble though

By no means are you making trouble. I just saw you taking about prices and wanted to butt in. Sorry...
