PlayAsia is ACES!

"Absolutely cannot wait the 3 to 5 months it takes to localize Asian games, like me? Been using PlayAsia for years to get a jump on new titles, it's even easier now with no region barriers on the newer consoles. I use my rudimentary Japanese to fill in the gaps, but it's really not that difficult.

This time i had a CC issue, but it was resolved in less than 24 hours, and my game was shipped. With xpress shipping 3 days total from Hong Kong to Austin Tx. AMAZING!

A Decade of Service (so far)

"I've been shopping at Play-Asia for a decade now (first order in early 2006), and they have not failed me so far.

One item "almost" got lost but that was due to the local mailing system screwing up the tracking (I thought it was stolen or delivered to the wrong address). The customer service when I was panicking and asking Play-Asia if they could do anything was kind, and professional.

I've had good experiences in cancelling orders that were already paid for but not shipped when I needed the money at short-notice, and I've had a refund without issues when I was charged two times in one instance for an order.

The prices and service may not be that competitive depending on where you are from, and what online stores you have access to. For me? (Australia/Malaysia) They're pretty high on the list should there be no cheaper local option.

Verification will not work, if you want instant digital codes, chose another shop

"I've bought & paid two times with valid mobile phone number. Got no verification code (regardless of country code with "+" or "00"), status of digital articles will switch to "refund pending".

You will get no code and no instant refund. Every key store will do verfication, play-asia is first where it will fail. Congrats.

EDIT: If you try to take your money back via PayPal, because they don't send you your codes, they will delete your order.

100% trickster company. Better save your order & payment confirmation mails to get your money back. Maybe they try to rip you off for no reason like me.

Exceeded my skeptical expectations

"I purchased a product key for Windows 7 Professional SP1 for us$19.95 - I have the disk but needed to do a re-install on a laptop after an HD failure. I fully expected Play-Asia.com to be a scam as the price for a key was so competitive-on the contrary, the key was sent out within 5 mins of ordering. I had a technical issue with seeing the key on their site in my online orders (my problem not theirs) and I contacted their live chat customer service and the issue was resolved in a few minutes-incredibly good service and great pricing! The key worked when installing Win7 Pro on the new hard drive-very, very happy!"

"Wretched customer service, shipping took forever. The prices are also a bit steep for what you're getting. Company is a joke, use amiami instead."

"The Customer Service is one of the best I've received so far. Whenever I have a question about an order or a product their answer is always fast, clear and helpful. I have purchased digital and physical content, the digital codes appears instantly and the physical shipping it's kinda fast."

"Ordered the MGS legacy collection on the 22nd of September and picked the normal delivery. Said that the delivery will be at my destination on the 6th of October, sounds alright. It was dispatched on the 29th of September and it's already the 7th of October. Weird service, but I'll wait and see if they actually deliver the order."

"my name is Susumu Yosimine, I made many orders, but one week ago I did order and support written me I was connected with other accounts. I asked how I was connected with these accounts, like same name or other, so play-asia answered to me, it was not name and not explained me anything. Just asked pay via western union or bank transfer, I read here play-asia ask this ways many customers for scam, Play-asia also closed all my other orders, so I have no access to them. Like here write many people I agree play-asia play in dirty games for scam them clients, it is very bad."
