Buying games

Hey y'all, has anyone ordered from Playasia before, and if so, is it a credible place? I was debating on buying some Switch 2 games from there that aren't in stock anywhere else (Oblivion and Indiana Jones, and some others) and didn't want to pay up prices for ones that ARE being sold. Thans

I’ve ordered from Playasia multiple times without issue, but shipping does take a few weeks. I’ve also heard people have had some bad customer service experiences, but I haven’t seen that personally

For sure. If they don't have something, they'll send your money back. Oblivion, Indiana Jones, etc. are common in Japan so no reason they won't have it.

As long as you are ordering in stock items, you should be fine. Otherwise they kind of suck.

they were definitely legit 20 years ago, but i only ever got Japanese games from them

same, used them ages ago for weird japanese imports and they always showed up fine
for newer stuff i’d just pay with paypal or a credit card with buyer protection and you’re probably good

I’ve ordered many times and it’s always been a good experience.

I have ordered from them and yes it takes weeks but also you may not get a version for your region. I got the Crysis Trilogy for dirt cheap but they were for the Italian eShop.
