    Have you ever had good experience with buying PC, xbox, ps3 games online ?

    I have only used ebay and play-asia.com

    If you have done it then let me know.. I am thinking of buying some from some new websites (if you know any)

    Thanks

    I buy all my games from Play-Asia and eBay too.

    I'm a Play-Asia affiliate (affiliates get 5% off), and usually spend most of my aff earnings on games and GP2X stuff instead of withdrawing it. I used to LOVE Lik-Sang.com, but they're long gone :(

    What could you possibly want that Play-Asia doesn't have? :)

    Hong Kong is pretty close to Australia, so Play-Asia is usually pretty fast with their shipping. I use the cheapest shipping option (whatever it is)... usually takes about 1 week if they've got the item in stock.

    I buy a lot of stuff from HK, and am always suprised at how quickly they can get it here. If there's one thing the English did right when they were in HK, it was set up a good postal system :)

    One of my favourite things about Play-Asia is that if you order multiple items at once, and they have a delay on one of them, they'll send you what they have in stock immediately - then send the delayed item without charging any more for shipping. Most places would hold your entire order until everything is ready to ship.

    Well, I only experienced to buy game software online, but I never tried to buy a device yet. Hope to buy PC though.
