I'm currently on vacation in thailand and I thought I would take the opportunity to buy some new games for my GC. My problem is that I can't find any.

Any tips where to buy the cheap GC-games?
PAL, NTSC, Copied, anything goes.

Dude what are you on..? I dunno what you speak of when you say "copied" let alone anything goes. This is gamecube we're talking about, no such thing as copies exist for various reasons.

You are more than free to talk about anything else related to GC, but piracy is a no no.

What I'm on? Air, probably... And yes there are copies. I could probably have done them myself had I only had some discs in the GC format. And is it forbidden to ask for copies in Thailand? The land of copies? Hmm maybe I'm gonna go to the market right away and by me a brand new ORIGINAL rolex for a few hundred bucks...

"I could probably have done them myself had I only had some discs in the GC format."

Dream on.

"My problem is that I can't find any [games]."

When the media is difficult to pirate (not practical to pirate at all) the system won't be popular there (nothing "cheap" to play; system not worth having; no one interested), I assume. I can see why you can't find anything significant at all in the land of copies.

Yeah hey, we ALL live in Thailand. Everyone of us on this side of the Internet. You could try looking in SHOPS. =O

I would lock this topic except that the illegal goods he's asking about don't even exist.

lol so true, kinda idiotic to ask for something that's not feasible, I wonder if her even knows of the security feature that the GC has? A laser that reads backwards from a normal dvd player, let alone the encrytption on the optic mini-dvd.

heh

sad thread.

If in thailand, go get cheap hookers, cheap clothing and get drunk, forget about GCN, get a life.
Thinking of Nintendo on a Thailand vacation, thats WEAK

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #10 on:** December 01, 2004, 02:43:07 AM »

Yeah! Getting STD's, knock-off brand clothing made by four year olds that'll fall to bits in a gust of wind and waking up somewhere where you don't know where you are without a kidney is the life!

Really? Aren't the "brand wear" things sold here just taiwanese wares with different names printed on them?

Hemmorrhoid · « **Reply #12 on:** December 02, 2004, 08:08:04 AM »

Taiwan, Camboida, Thailand, Vietnam but mostly China, most of the textile fabrications are from China.

But the stuff they sell on the street markets are just fakes, although the real factory are nearby. Try to find a factory maybe you can buy stuff directly. Unless you get shot on the way or tempted to spend your 5dollars on a hooker instead of a pair of sneakers

Well, not sure if Sqwarts will reply, but for anyone else, was the Gamecube released in Thailand?
My brother comes through there every so often due to work and I wouldn't mind getting some games there.
(Legitamet retail games, which should be cheaper than locally if legitamet retail DVD movies are anything to go by)

I just don't wanto send him on a wild goose hunt. Thanks

Hmm. You sound awfully sure about that. That can either be a good thing or a bad thing. I'll just assume it's a good thing for now.

Hemmorrhoid · « **Reply #16 on:** December 05, 2004, 02:25:21 AM »

Nintendo is very careful about releasing their consoles in developing countries.
So im very sure they havent released it in Thailand.

To the black market!

Awaaaaay!

RABicle · « **Reply #18 on:** December 07, 2004, 02:32:29 AM »

Actually if your in Thailand then you can get GCN games! Get a car and just keep driving south. Eventually you'll cross a HUGE bridge and you'll be in Singapore, they'll screen you for STDs as you cross the border if you say you came from Thailand so say you've come from Malaysia. Goto Sim Lim square and you can get any GCN game you want, full price!

Morien · « **Reply #19 on:** December 07, 2004, 05:02:58 PM »

But then you aren't getting them from Thailand now are you. Your getting them from Singapore. With that logic you can find Emporer Penguins living naturally in the Sahara Desert. Just keep flying south into Antarctica and pow!

I think he was trying to be funny.

But yeah, people go to Thailand for spicy food, fake clothes, and hookers.

I think thats the reason why people go to 3rd World countries at all, except Muslim countries, if you hook up with a local chick there, expect to be killed and the wrath of Allah

Wow what a dumb comment.

Saudi Arabia is not all Muslim countries. Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Indonesia are all Muslim countries, in fact they are the three biggest Muslim countries and all are in the 10 ten most populous countries. Pakistan and Bangladesh are pretty much exactly like India except people eat cows instead of worship them, and Indonesia is a like 10 different countries but they are no different from non Muslim countries. I'm not sure you understand much about Islam (you are thinking of the Iranian dominant Shi'ite branch of extremists, which make up like 5% of Muslims, as opposed to the Sunni branch which is over 90% of Muslims and yes, it's stupid just like every other religion but it's no more ludicrous and laughable than Judaism or....Christianity lol...what a joke...but I digress).

Oh, and I can see that you were clearly making a joke, but I just felt like babbling anyway.

Hemmorrhoid · « **Reply #23 on:** December 08, 2004, 11:17:43 PM »

Oh believe me gamefreak, I do understand alot about Islam, unlike the American Government. Well, atleast you understood I was making a joke.

Anyways, of course it was merely a dumb comment, but its amazing how some of these countries react concerning little things. Turkey for instance, very popular amongst North European tourist, very emancipated, beautiful and great for all kinds of partying. BUT, if you get caught trying to take a souvenir back thats a natural item of any kind(stone from a beach even) then you can get arrested and jailed for a long time. Its happened alot to the most innocent of people, sometimes parents of children that took a stone with them.

Gamefreak · « **Reply #24 on:** December 09, 2004, 10:44:47 PM »

haha lol
I have a friend in my AP Calculus class who's from Turkey, I'll have to ask him about that...

Hey well Europeans brought dogs over to Australia and they evolved into dingos and wiped out Australia's only two carnivorous mammals, the Tasmanian devil, now only found in the tiny island of Tasmania, and the Tasmanian tiger, which is now extinct. The Tasmanian tiger was not actually a tiger (a tiger could own an entire pack of dogs anyway) but a unique four legged, semi-striped, dog-like mammal which sadly, couldn't compete with the dingo's pack hunting and lost it's food source and died.

And if you bring a Madagascar cockroach to the US...you can expect a full biohazard containment team and the FBI, CIA, and customs agents to all drop by your house lol
