Does it have any sensoring? I don't know how the Asian Government is about that.
If it's the exact same, I'm so in for 1.
*Also, call me paranoid, but what do they need my phone number for? I don't want to be getting phone calls half way around the world during Asian work hours.

Yes, the ENTIRE continent of Asia has one government. Seriously? Come on.

I'm sorry, I just got up and aren't really thinking what I'm typing. I'm not that ignorant, I suppose what I meant was the government where this site is based in Asia.
EDIT: Err, that sounds confusing. What government regulates this site, and where do they get their games from is what I'm asking.

Dude, don't worry about it lol. Seriously, just put in your phone number and change the very last number. But make sure your address is right. So, if they ask you about it, just say it was a typo -- 99% of the time they probably won't give a flying fuck as long as you pay. Buying from asian companies isn't that bad, considering, the majority of every day households come from asia (china, taiwan, thailand, etc..).
CheapyD
12-01-2008, 11:25 AM
I'm guessing they ask for your phone number because they are shipping you a package internationally, and some forms of shipping require a phone number.
They aren't going to call you. I've placed about 100 orders with them in the last 4 years and received zero phone calls.
I'll look into the manual, but I'm guessing that its the exact same game, box, and manual as the USA version.
Since this is an American game, the manual should be in English, with the only difference being in the copyright and the address for the local offices (Hong Kong as opposed to somewhere in the US).
I've ordered an Asian version of a Japanese game in the past, and the manual was Japanese, with a Chinese insert, for what it's worth.

I can only speak from past experiences but I got an English manual and all the text in-game was in English.
It will play on ANY 360, and you can play online with other people, no matter what version of the game they have.
This is why Region Free games are good, infact all games should be region free IMO.

I ordered MotoGP 06 back in the day from here or the other place that's similar and might have gone out of buisness; the only difference was a stickeron the top right that covered up where it said NTSC with NTSC-J, IIRC.

If you're a PS3 owner, you don't need deals from Cheapy - there are plenty of PS3 game deals, often well below the price for the same title on the 360, both online and B&M: just peruse this site or check out Target's clearance section.
As a PS2-only gamer during last gen (and long time Sony fan), this gives me no pleasure - but it is what it is.
Oh yeah: In for one. (wince) The checkout process was a little problematic, but otherwise, seems like a decent site. I feel like that tool in the E-Trade commercial: "I just bought a videogame from Play-Asia in HONG KONG. That's China." But if Cheapy and a horde of CAGs trust them, maybe I can too.

There's more than one US version: for the 360, there's the game only ($60) and there's the Limited Wireless Headset Edition ($90). Pretty sure this one doesn't come with a headset.

Ugh...I'm resisting biting on this like you wouldn't believe. I really want the game, but, given my current financial situation, I'm having a hard time justifying a $20+ game purchase. If it was sub-$20, I'd be all over it, but that additional $3.40 is haunting me...
I'm glad you think i'm so powerful that I actually make the deals.

I didn't, and don't, intend to turn this into a system war; I own both consoles happily, and a Wii as well, which is why I'm better qualified than most to say there are pluses and minuses to each system. And being upset in the scenario you describe above would be silly. Maybe, in that case, FF XIII needed a push in the 360 area to boost sales. Maybe they bought too many and had to let some go at cost or at a discount. There could be all kinds of reasons. None of them are saying, "Gee, how can we really piss off PS3 owners? I know. Let's offer the 360 version cheaper than the PS3 version." In the end, I think you're fighting a psychological war with yourself to justify your purchase of a PS3, just as many 360 owners are doing the same to justify their purchase of a 360. You don't need to justify your purchase to anyone. And also, why does hitting "edit" screw up my formatting when I make changes and hit "save"? Changed all my quote marks to "& quot blah blah blah" etc.

=; Wooooah there Dr. Phil wanna be the only thing i regret about my ps3 is that i dont have that 320 gig hard drive that i want to put in it . I have turned on and played my ps3 everyday since the day i got it , i even did it in Jamaica with remote play with my psp for the 10 days i wasnt in the states. What you said in red is the MOST FALSE statement ever spoken since the beginning of time.
p.s. I'm so defensive cause i listen to too many podcast that praise the 360 and
damn to hell the ps3. (CAGcast , Sarcastic gamer "red show", joystiq podcast
BUZZ out Loud and so on and so forth)

This is why I mostly stay off of forums. I never said you "regret" buying a PS3. You inserted that yourself. I certainly don't regret my purchase of a PS3, or my purchase of a 360, and I've never once heard anyone on the CAG "damn to hell the PS3". Whatever. Have a nice day, both of you. Enjoy your systems and let other folks enjoy theirs, whether it's the same one you have or a different one.

Yeah good idea, because having Amazon Prime will help me get Play-Asia orders quicker.
I do have Amazon prime, but thats not really On Topic is it??
A clue, no it isn't.

somebody seems trolling like a butthurt fanboy in this deal thread, lame....
Damn. I pre-ordered this one (not regretted it, btw). But at this price? Fuck, I should've waited.
I've seen skillzkillz before trolling on this site. I remember the icon and the font more than anything, but I swear at one point he was actually having a go at CheapyD because all he did was praise the 360, and apparently gave no similar action to the PS3.
The PS3 hasn't gotten anything going for it because it's being marketed badly. I read an article on GamesTM about it supposedly being the year of the PS3 this year. Not trying to fan the flames here, skillzkillz, but what about the PS3 has made it stand out against the 360 this year? Not much. Microsoft hasn't done anything different or awesome or outrageous this year, but neither has Sony. SG's Red Show got it right when they said that the PS3 was underwhelming when you see what titles they had, waiting in the wings.

Do people realize why the 360 gets more love than the PS3?
Look at the install base of the 360 compared to PS3......If you put a 360 game on sale, you will get more sales......more views.....more interest. The 360 is the more popular pick due to pricing and marketing as a next-gen gaming console......so more deals will be had on that system.

Exactly. Recent example: Resistance 2 got released on the 28th of November. I went into my Blockbuster the next day; nothing. No cardboard cut-outs, no posters on the wall, nothing. No advertising campaign AT ALL.
I stand by my opinion that Sony is the problem, not the product they're (not) marketing.

In fairness to Cheapy, I recall from the old CAGcasts that he was an early adopter of the PS3 and seemed to be rooting for it. He persisted with his updates in the face of not-so-subtle disinterest from Wombat, and of course eventually even got Wombat a PS3 - and Wombat seemed genuinely enthusiastic about his initial experiences with it.
Anyway, back on topic: shipped in less time than it takes the Airport Express to get to Lantau!

You have to get a good deal in to the transaction, but if it's asking for payment method, you've gone too far.
I'm still amazed how amazing this deal is, 66% off.

it goes products, shipping, account/address, payment, confirmation. i have gotten to the confirmation screen multiple times, and i have never seen the dialog box for coupon codes. there used to be a different look to the checkout process IIRC, and the box was on the products page. now i see nothing on the products page.

Not for me. It's in the first stage of the transaction: "Products". I added it to cart, clicked Checkout: it displayed a screen titled "Your products." At the bottom of that screen, it said "If you want to use a coupon, please enter it here." There's an empty field for "Coupon code" and a button: "use coupon".
After that you proceed through shipping options, account/address, payment and confirmation.

Strange, I just went to check by Faux adding something to cart, and it didn't ask for coupons. This is extremely strange, sorry I don't remember, I did this a day and a half ago.

Even if CheapyD has a preference on console, who cares?? It's not like he's reviewing games and needs to be impartial. As others have said, it's based on what's selling and what has a larger install base. That just happens to be the 360 for these multi-platform releases.
This deal is VERY tempting. I played the demo last night and thought the voice control was amazingly awesome. My only concern is the depth of the single-player campaign, which just seems to be a series of multiplayer matches against the computer. At $20 though, it might be worth it regardless. Hmmmm....

for real, there is no coupon code entry box when i do it. i sent play-asia a message about it. right now, i only have batman in there, but earlier i had endwar in there.
btw, i went through the screens, but i never confirmed the order. i certainly wouldn't go that far without a reduced price, just in case niftydrum was directing his comment at me.

Could be something funky with your browser settings or java (if play-asia uses it). Try installing firefox or google chrome maybe?

When I was ordering the Asian Lego Indiana Jones for the deal last week, there was no box for it either. I e-mailed them about it (because I wanted to use my effing store credit), and they told me if an item is discounted, there won't always be a coupon box. So, is it possible you're looking at the wrong Endwar? And regardless of if it's the correct or the incorrect, is it on discount now? That's the only thing I can think of. Because if it's on discount, there might not be a coupon box to input the CAG code.

I think i know why its not working for you man.
And i think your gonna feel pretty silly about it.
It only works when you ONLY have Endwars in your cart.
I tired with batman game only and i don't see the coupon screen either.
Batman and Endwar in cart and not coupon either.
Endwar only .... bingo, coupon accepted.
I don't know why Play Asia does that but thats just how it is.
So just go back and put nothing else but endwars in your cart and it will work.
Basically Play Asia will only display the coupon box when there is a code available for that game and only that game by itself.
And as of this post Endwar's discount still works so get it before it expires tomorrow.

Gametrailers gave it a 9.0 I think and they are usually pretty on the ball. I thought the game was a decent RTS based on the demo, but the voice command is the big hook for me.

Ugh...I'm resisting biting on this like you wouldn't believe. I really want the game, but, given my current financial situation, I'm having a hard time justifying a $20+ game purchase. If it was sub-$20, I'd be all over it, but that additional $3.40 is haunting me...
Since the cost before shipping was < $20, I convinced myself that this is a qualifying purchase, and nabbed one.
Now I feel dirty...

If it hasn't been said already I suggest anyone considering this game to try the demo first. I'm a big RTS fan and was going to jump on this not even seeing screen shots but decided to try the demo. Short story is I just didn't dig it so don't assume you'll like it or won't like it just because you're an RTS fan/hater.

brilliant, man! that was it. that is completely ridiculous. i don't feel silly at all. i feel greatly appreciative, and thoroughly inclined to lay blame at their doorstep. i emailed them and got some lame response that showed they didn't understand the problem. now we know. why wouldn't they want me to buy more product and simply limit the application of the coupon on their end?
cheapy, please take note of this idiosyncrasy to let folks know should play-asia run a special for us CAGs again.
thanks to everyone who tried to help me out. i appreciate it.
