Since the released of PS4 in 2013, gamers been expecting huge releases of exclusive games for the PS4. As video games continue to evolve so is the business of video gaming especially in Malaysia. Back in those days, we can get a PS one or PS two from retail game shop where you can find in Sungai Wang and any other Shopping Malls. But the business is dying due to the transition to the virtual world, our internet is getting faster, DLC are available nowadays.

We used to able to grab a few disc home from the mall for a very cheap price. Now, we have no choice to stick to originality. And a PS 4 original game could cost an average of RM100- RM200 per game especially with new releases game. So instead of randomly picking a game, choosing a game is an important choice in our gaming life now. And as the PS consoles slowly evolve, so are the games that will be releasing with it. People tend to buy the console because of their favorite games and not the other way around.

With the international players slowly tapping in to our market like STEAM and other online shops, game retailers have no choice but to choose an alternative path to this. The local gaming business is affecting badly, especially online shopping malls such as Ip-mart and Lazada that have been constantly giving the lowest price, there is no way small niche players are able to compete with them. Before the PS4 released, PS3 was able to accept pirated games, but we know the market is small for it too because games are getting increasing important online, with the huge community for CO-OPs and competitive gaming, there is no reason to remain offline.

Here are few ways as a Malaysian, you get to save and enjoy your favorite PS4 games at the same time.

1) Do not go for new released game instead wait for price drop or go for second hand. (duh)

Hardcore gamers like us are always excited when a new game releases, but we know as a Malaysian we are still not used to paying a game for like RM150+. Best way is to wait for the heat to cool down in a month or two and grab it at a cheaper price. Some gamers might get bored with the game and you can get the games for half price. These community exist around Facebook and Lowyat forum.

2) Borrow from friends for free or retailers for a cheaper price

These solutions are not new, in fact most gamers would not like to choose this path. Because as games are getting more involve online, by lending a game would not let you enjoy it with full experience.

3) Get in bundles, because they are so worth it.

Sequence games always ended up in bundles, so if you know that the game is gonna be huge and a never ending story. You know what to do, wait for it to release 3 sequence and you get a bundle. If the story of the game is important to you and online does not matter either way this is still not the best choice out there. Some retailer also give a choice of choosing 3 games for a certain price.

4) Get PSN PLUS!

Playstation Plus is a membership that you required to have in order to play it online with your PS4. But it does comes with some great benefit with it. First, you get a huge collection of free games and they will constantly add in to your account. Just imagine we used to buy Ps 1 or Ps2 games and we might end up with a lousy game, but now these indie games became free. So you just need to spent your hard earned money on new exclusive games. Second, as usual online multi-player for your PS4 system and also exclusive discounts up to 75% OFF on the Play Station Store. Buying games through PSN Store is not a famous choice here, as you know even our internet is quite reasonably okay. But if you want to download a 20GB game, you might need a day or two to complete. Just get a disc dammit!

5) Buy through online stores that have loyalty points

Online local retailer like GameOn is known in the Malaysia gaming market because of their consistency and great customer service. They might not provide the best price out there but they always remain competitive. The best part by buying from them is that you get your delivery way faster if you want the game fast, most of the time within one day and best part of all Free Shipping!

The great part of buying from these Online retailers is that you can get loyalty points and with this loyalty points accumulated you could just get a new game with those point itself. You might not able to see the cost saving here, but in the long term it saves more than you think it is. Especially a console life cycle usually about 10 years, and sticking to the right online retailer does make a huge saving from it. Loyalty helps!

6) Shop at Buy-Back Guarantee Shops

Some shops offer a buy-back guarantee depending on the condition, packaging, the title and the release of the game that could be returned at up to 50% of the purchased price. However, the game have to be purchased from the same shop. This is defintely one of the way you can save on your next upcoming title that you are interested in purchasing.

7) Look for coupon codes for exclusive discount!

This, is obvious and is a huge market in the western region. People constantly looking for the best discount codes that you can use in purchasing games online. And now, since we actually exist in Malaysia there is no reason for you to not take advantage over it. At ShopCoupons, whenever there is a new game release, we will get a discount for it.
