Source on Shopee / Lazada / Taobao.
Games can get cheaper with coupon codes etc.

For calling overseas number, I suggest you use skype IP phone service.

I topped up USD10 and called all sorts of places in Japan/Korea/China when planning trip or doing work, and it costs only a few cents per min. Really worth imo.

Maybe got other IP phone app you can use

Oh, i think SKYPE got some promo about free credits for 1st timer. haha. Thank you

like that might as well get over here, and 11.11 coming soon, think will have discount

Games probably cheaper with shopee/lazada than Japan, i was in japan few days ago, prices cheaper by just a bit, buying on shopee save me more.

Some sellers like to have insane mark ups. I have not bought from lazada before. Usually purchase from Shopee (Qisahn, funzsquare, gamescrazydeal)

Keep seeing this pegi in this thread. It's the euro standard right? What's wrong with it, Japan sold games no have this logo? Resell value higher? Or just personal preference??

Personal preference and also gold coins earned for region. I have US account since Wii era so prefer to get points and redeem from there.

Actually not clones. China already had such tablets with built-in controllers more than a year before NX/Switch was announced.

I don't mean this one in particular, but there was already similar tablet shown in China trade shows before Switch was announced.

Just when you thought the direct ended, Shulk appears and say "Did you miss me?". XBC1 remaster free with every first print copy =:p

BY2 style :D
