I just don't understand it. There is a huge Mac community in South-East Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong) and yet it is so hard to get a copy of the latest Mac games. I have the opportunity to travel all over Asia (for work) and everywhere I go, Apple Stores carry very limited game titles. It is extremely frustrating. I've spent months looking for Unreal Tournament 2003, and soon the 2004 version is going to be released. (Sigh) Heck, I'd even settle for older titles! Any ideas?

There is an Apple store in HK which delivers, just pre order them and have them delivered to your HK office.


If you are ever in Shanghai I can tell where yo get very cheap mac games.

Thank you for the tip! Am going to check out the HK Apple Store to see what game titles they have. Will definitely have to put Shanghai on my list of places to visit in the near future. Cheers!
