Online Video Games Shop in HK?

I coulda swore I saw something on here with a link to one, but can't find it again in any of my searches... watch it be sitting down at the bottom of this thread
Know of any? I'm sick of pounding the pavement looking for games that never seem to be in stock.
Thanks!

oops, sorry for the double post.

If you mean you are looking to buy pc games that have the ability to play online then you will find one in the Wanchai Computer Centre, Hong Kong Records and Star House TST aswell as numerous other places :-)

To the OP: What sort of games are you after, and where are you going to buy them? If it's older stuff, and/or for an uncommon platform, I can understand having some trouble getting them, but recent stuff for a current platform should be really easy to get, and get cheap....

thanks blimp... this is the one i was looking for.
vmlinuz, i'm looking for games for my kids. we have the old xbox, but i'm looking for newly released games for it (nhl 2007). we also have a gamecube (yeah we're probably due for an upgrade!), which i'm finding is more and more difficult to get games for in HK. i noticed play-asia has free shipping in HK. is $313 alot for an xbox 360 game? do 360 games work on the older systems? do the older games work on 360?

some xbox games will work on the xbox360. there should be a list at www.xbox.com for which ones. When you put an xbox game in your 360, it will download an update so you can play the game. hence, you will need an internet connection.
