Great shop!
June 3, 2023

One of the few trustworthy sites to get gift cards for other countries' shops. And works super fast too. Helped me out so much to shop on both amazon jp and the Japanese PS4 store! :)

$100 shipping fees for a fight stick is insane and refuse to pay that. The rest of it is fine tho mostly.

PLAY-ASIA has been in the embarassment-saving business since 2002. Where some might think that Europeans with their rich history of electronic inventions would have an easy time having access to physical copies of excellent Japanese and other Asian engineering masterpieces, those same people might die of shame knowing that their hasty assumption was proven false by the complete unavailability anywhere to be found for copies of 'Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remasters Collection' from all said local retailers either in brick-and-mortar shops or online. However, reports in this year 2023 from the National Cardiac Society revealed that since PLAY-ASIA has bridged the gap between international supply and demand shipping to countless English-speaking customers for many like video games, the in-patient hospital rates for shame-related cardiac arrests and deaths with comorbidities has dropped by a whopping 8.3%! Many lives have been saved by this so often overlooked and unthanked team of hard workers. PLAY-ASIA for a healthier society! Thank you PLAY-ASIA!

Better than Square
April 22, 2023

People on social media recommended to me to buy the final fantasy collection on this site. And I'm very thankful that it is possible for me to buy this particular game that doesn't sell out quickly like that SES Website. Thank you, Play-Asia! Y'all are the allstar that shines the brightest!

I was happy to see the Asia version of Final Fantasy Pixel Remastered is superior to the North American version as you not only get gold coins for the physical copy but also the inside inlay is not just warning and blank pages upon opening the case as with the Asia version you are greeted to the pixel version of the characters like the box to the Collectors Edition which was poorly made available from SquareEnix.com

I tried to buy a game through them the other day, they rejected my perfectly good credit card but somehow charged it anyway. My bank called me about possible fraud from them that's how I found out. I canceled the order having my bank reject their withdrawal from my card, they now constantly bug me saying they are waiting for my payment. Dirty rotten crooks, try to steal my money and not sell me the game!

So Disappointed With Playasia.
They sent me a faulty product which was completely unusable, offered me a $5 voucher for a $52 faulty item. Then told me if I wanted a refund I had to send it back to HK at my cost. I opened a paypal case & advised they need to pay return freight so they gave me their fedex account number & I sent it back, then they only offered me a $17 refund for the $52 faulty item so I had to escalate a case through Paypal & Paypal awarded me a full refund. This took over a month & many many emails & messages via paypal. Luckily I used Paypal so I was covered but Playasia was very unhelpful during the entire long process. I donot recommend buying from them at all.

See the title. I often cum from other online stores, having a hard time (ya see what I did there), and often I stumble here. I get me games, but I'm itching for some of that tentacle, tig-ol-bitty action.

It was quick and no hassle. I did check other sites but none had the 3000 JPN gift card in stock or was too shady. I went with my gut and went to a site I used to buy my merch from all the time (Playasia) I haven't lately because its normally too expensive but this time...it was perfect! I will definitely be back to buy again!

I wanted to order games on Nontendo Switch. River city girls 2 and Signalis. I made my first attempt before the new year. Then the parcel was not sent to me on time, because the stock was over. Then I tried to order these games on January 19th. They were both in stock. But they didn't send them to me, they said that my stock would come only on January 30th. And today, when they are both on the website in stock, they tell me to wait until February 10! I have left $3,000 on the site for the last two years, my status is Shogun. And they have such a disregard for me. Tech support tells me to be calm and wait another two weeks. When both games are available on website now!

One of the worst experiences i had online
October 9, 2022

This i by far, one of the worst experiences i had buying online. I ordered a game from them way back in July 11/2022, and i still didn't receive it. I have sent numerous messages to which they simply reply as they have sent it already, but i still haven't received it. And it has been over 2 months now since i sent that message. So last week i sent them a message that i want a refund and still haven't received a reply. So 80$ down the drain. That is the last time i have anything to do with them. And i suggest to anyone that's reading this, its really up to you to take a risk with them. But i would suggest looking elsewhere, even Ebay is better than this pile of.

Everything went fine
August 16, 2022

I ordered battle cats unite for Nintendo switch and it came in tact and well. I really have fun playing this game. It took quite a while to arrive (a month) but with a better shipment plan it can take less time. I don't see why playasia has such bad reviews on this site. Overall a useful place for getting games from Asia.
