Play-asia or Amazon?

I just compared play-asia BD with Amazon BD, and I saw that play-asia selling the BD for the old amazon price (exact price, on the cent, at least the BD I compared), but amazon lowered MANY prices and they seem to be MUCH cheaper (about $10/BD cheaper).

So, whats your experience with play-asia compared to Amazon?
Why are so many people order from play-asia, when they can order much cheaper from amazon?

For me, it looks like play-asia order from amazon and sell the items to the older amazon price (higher price).

Its because of the free shipping

Why? Do they offer free shipping with fedex? Maybe ordinary parcel via post office...

You are in the Philippines, anyone who has bought gaming gear will tell you play-asia which actually ships from play-asia and sells asian region games.

Maybe, but if I order from Play-Asia 4 games, it will take weeks to arrive (via the free-shipping, what is sure ordinary parcel via post office). If I order the same games from amazon, it cost me the same, including fedex or dhl, and I would have it within 3-5 days.
So, whats the difference, except I get it much faster from amazon? Customs related?

have you received a package from amazon 3-5 days? Its not that I don't believe you its just, I haven't tried them and saw some interesting items I would like to buy and am just asking if you have experienced this speedy delivery first hand.

I ordered a lot of DVD's from amazon already, and they all arrived very quickly via DHL.
But it depends of the availability of the items. I ordered only items which have been in stock.

Yes, for DHL etc., but if you order 3 or 4 games or BD, its even with that DHL still cheaper than play-asia.

I just want to know why nobody order from Amazon. Is there something weird customs related?
At least, I did not had issues last year, but maybe its different this year?

Does Amazon sell NTSC-J games? Depending on your console and the game, you may not have a choice but to buy from play-asia.
