You could try MongKok computer center if you don't mind travelling a little bit. Been there whenever i visit Hong Kong, the prices aren't that bad either. The store should look like this http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c0/MongKokComputerCentre_20071107.jpg , just take the elevator up or take the stairs. There are other stores in mongkok you can look at but i suggest checking the one above out.

You could also try Sha Tin, new town plaza. It's more straightforward to get to, just take the train and your there since the station is pretty much part of it. I can't remember where the electrical store is but just walk around and you'll definitely find it. Oh and it's a big shopping center... http://thehkshopper.com/wp-content/themes/testeer/includes/timthumb.php?src=http://thehkshopper.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/tt.jpg&h=444&w=670&zc=1 (only part of it)

 

There are others but computer stores aren't that hard to find in hong kong. It's not uncommon to find two or more of the same store in one area.

[QUOTE="drybones41"]

I bought Battlefield 3 and the premium service from gamersgate and i got the keys. I went into origin and logged in but it was stuck in offline mode, a quick restart fixed this. I added Battlefield 3 first, then the premium service. I clicked the my games tab and it wasn't there, so i logged out and back in...and i was stuck in offline mode again.

I can't even access the origin website...

"No Response from Application Web Server

Never had to go through this much fuss for a game. Trying the gamergate download service right now.

I have two questions. 1.Why hasnt it apeared? 2. How do i get "unstuck" from offline mode? Any help appreciated

stlab

Origin service is down at the moment :(

Oh, it's down. Thanks for the reply, guess i'll have to wait a bit.

UPDATE: Managed to successfully login into origin and battlefield 3 appeared in my games. Premium also seems to be there. Hopefully there wouldn't be any more downtime :)

As what others said, it's just fun.

Plus there is something for the "advanced"/"older" players such as IV's,EV's and natures. I kinda doubt someone 12 or younger would bother about those things since it take time, effort, and luck...unless they play competetively.

Which were streamlined into the series slowly so casuals can use it as well. That area is not just for "advance/older" players. Have you been keeping up with this gen at all?

I've played pokemon black.

EVs and IVs still take time, especially IVs.

Not exactly that suprising since some companies did or still do things similar to this.

You could say they're the "best" however it's actually not much of an improvement over the current games. The ports just have a few enhancements and a some gameplay changes. There's not many reasons to buy games such as mass effect 3 for the WiiU which are also on the 360 and ps3.

I love how some people say piracy for the pc is very bad yet they seem to ignore the fact that the games on consoles and handhelds are being pirated aswell (not as bad as pc but still...piracy is piracy)

Ubisoft is just making up these numbers, piracy on the pc is bad but it isn't that bad. They're just overexagerating.

To be fair, can you provide better numbers?

I can't provide any better numbers. You probably have to be a developer to provide any numbers (yes ubisoft is a developer but 93-95% seems a bit ridiculous). I think it's lower than Ubisoft's supposed piracy rate (not considerably lower...) considering steam is pretty popular. It's easy to use, cheaper than buying a hard copy, and prices go even lower during the steam summer sale.
