Where to buy Computer games

Postby southcamp8 » Tue May 04, 2010 1:18 pm

So, I am looking for a place to buy computer games. dont really care if it is real authentic ones, or downloaded copies, as long as they play, and of course english language.
I have tried numerous computer malls, best buys, and other electronic shops, but found only console games (360, playstation 3, etc)....

There is a Mall near the Intercontinental in Pudong that sells Real Computer Games. I also saw them in a Game Shop on Beijing Lu near Jing an Temple.

Most DVD shops or Shops that sell the DVD9 also sell pirated Console & Video games. However, not too sure how safe they are.

You can also buy online on www.play-asia.com if you are looking for originals. Might be a bit expensive though. Depending on what games you like you can also usually buy them online and download to your system. There is a good review of services on the PC Gamer Mag Website.

Or you can try torrent sites of course.

Can you be little bit specific, cause actually, there are two huge computer malls next to intercontinental in Pudong. One is next to 7-eleven, and other one is on the other side of the road. I been to both malls, and didn't see any computer games. Saw console only.
Are those the malls you are talking about??? there are like 4 floors in each mall, I scanned all of them ,but didn't see any.

It is the one of the same side as the Interconti. Literally right next to it on the left hand side if you stand in front of the Interconti.

PC games are on the 2nd floor towards the back of the mall. There is corner store with a big LCD TV selling PS2, PS3 and XBOX. PC Games are sold right in front of that store.

Also ask the guys who only sell console games. Some of them do carry PC games but do not display them. Some of them are also willing to order them for you.

Most convenient though is either play-asia or buy online and download.
