Enemy Territory Quake Wars for Cheap!

Enemy Territory Quake Wars is out, and it's going for cheap at Play-Asia at only USD 29.90 (here), which translates to about RM 101. The Limited Collector's Edition is going for USD 52.90 (here), approximately RM 180. Both versions are cheaper by RM 68 and RM 19 then what The Software Boutique (TSB) is selling for.

The demo version nearly brought my PC to its knees, but I think some adjustments are in order. I should be able to play the game just fine. Here are some of the addition stuff that you'll get in the Limited Collector's Edition (taken from TSB):

• Collectible Cards: 10 oversized, high-gloss collectible cards.
• Bonus disc contents include concept art, HD videos including developer interviews, the evolution of ETQW packaging artwork, downloadable IM icons, ringtones, and music tracks.

PC Gaming in Malaysia

I can safely say that original PC games are readily accessible and have become much more affordable in Malaysia, compared to that of console games. With official distributors bringing in and sometimes localizing games, PC gamers in Malaysia would be hard-pressed not to take advantage of these new advancements.

However, it would be in the best interest for everyone to see more localization efforts, and I believe the price can go down a little bit more. For proof, one just needs to look at our neighbour up north, Thailand. Localization efforts are really good up there and games can retail for 500 Baht, that's around RM 50.

Here are some useful links if you are shopping for PC games in Malaysia:
