I return from Singapore bearing gifts... for myself (pics included)

Hello all, I have returned from Singapore and I bring back with me many treasures. To begin with let me say that as an Australian I pay way too much for games and that some products are not even available so as I go down the list of things I bought I'll say how much they cost me in Singapore and how much they cost here. Oh and I almost forgot, the Aussie dollar is doing pretty well, to the tune of $1.38 Singaporean, now onward to the items.

I walked away with the following

1. Rock Band Special Edition PS3 (for region lock puposes)(not available in Australia yet) $350.00 Singaporean

2. Burnout Paradise PS3 $69.00 Singaporean, about $100.00 AU

3. Folklore (Japanese greatest hits edition) $49.00 Singaporean, about $100.00 AU and with worse cover art.

4. Time Crisis 4 with Guncon $129.00 Singaporean, Not sure how much here, but alot more to be sure.

5. 2x Dual Shock 3's one white one black, both at $72.00 Singaporean, $99.00 AU
(thats insane)

6. PS3 Remote, I think it was about $49.00, I think thats a better price than AU.

Now remeber the Exchange rate, take about 15-20% of those prices, Oh yeah.

Now if any of you are wondering why i only bought PS3 games its entirely down to the fact that they're region free, there were lots of cool 360 games I wanted but theres no real way to be sure that they would work.

This might not mean much to you Americans, but to those of use in EU and AU it means a lot. Here's some pics...


The first haul.


Cool cover eh?





The final haul.



Some arcades in Singapore





Some Covers of some games, some of which ive never heard of (hows the lost odyssey cover, cool).


I just thought this was funny.

So there you have it, if our deprived of cheap games I recommend Singapore, its got lots of other cool stuff too but I pretty much just bought games.

Looks like you're stuffed to the gills with some fun games.

I've been meaning to pick up Time Crisis.

The pics of the arcades reminds me that I haven't set foot in one in long time. Gonna have to do this soon.

I thought Folklore was called Folks Soul in Japan, wasn't it?

Either way, that's an awesome haul. I seriously need to expand my PS3 library.

I always wanted to go Singapore.

Awesome on the rock band and Time Crisis 4, it's a really addictive game, try to uncover all secrets cause some of them are hidden pretty good.
