With a heading like the above, I feel I need do no more. I can just sit back and bask in the knowledge that it will have brought a smile to at least one face (mine). But I suppose such a heading has to be justified.
There are a number of places in Bangkok where you can find outlets that will sell you gaming consoles and games, but one of the favourites, because of their prices, service and stock, is Nadz Project. If you want to visit their shop, it’s a bit of an adventure. You have to seek out what appears to be a condo block, find the appropriate floor and corridor, where you are even more convinced that you have stumbled into a housing complex; and then suddenly there is a glass door into a little shop stuffed with gaming goodies. I made the pilgrimage to Nadz when I bought my Xbox, but since then I have made use of their mail service.
I emailed them on Tuesday asking for a price for two games. They responded within a couple of hours and we transferred the cash to them the same evening. Yesterday the package was sent by EMS for 60 baht, and it arrived this morning. Extra bonus good service, they mailed me yesterday to say they had over-quoted me by 200 baht so would include 200 baht cash in the package; and they did.
So if you will excuse me, I have a very important appointment involving an Xbox, Midnight Club Los Angeles, and Pure.

2009-01-16| Spike saysI used to be able to get Xbox games in Tuk Com for 1,800 baht. But now that times are tough and sales are down, they have taken the only sensible commercial decision, raised their prices to 2,500 baht…..
2009-01-16| Santi saysI have got an Xbox, father christmas give it to me about five or six years ago. The only game i ever played on it was Tiger Woods PGA Tour. I have three hole in ones and kicked Montie ’ s ass out of that famous golf course in Scotland. ohhh and other players.
2009-01-17| Spike saysGet Billy to buy you the new Xbox 360 and play the latest Tiger Woods game; I am sure there is a whole new range of asses for you to kick. And you could kick Billy’s ass too!

2009-01-22| Spike saysLooks a little like GTA4 but with better graphics. Not R rated so pedestrians run out of the way and there is a complete absence of guns!
But, racing is intense and difficult. Takes a lot of time to build up cash to obtain better vehicles, especially when you lose all the time like I do!
Certainly consumes the hours!
