Buy/Sell/Trade \ Play Asia Order Question

Hi, I'm about to order the following on Play-Asia.com

Dual Shock 3 (Black)
(For PlayStation3™, Japan) 1 US$ 47.92

Grand Theft Auto IV
(For PlayStation3™, US, No Region Protection) 1 US$ 64.90

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
(For PlayStation3™, US, No Region Protection) 1 US$ 60.90

Shipping weight: 0.72 kg Total US$ 173.72 (~189.71 AUD)

Now bare with me, whilst browsing through the website I came across an offer where you save US$4.00 if you purchase a GTA4 + MGS4 Combo. So I said, what the heck, I might as well pre order now. I added a DS3 on top of that due to the 20% off deal they are having at the moment too. But, when going through the checkout, this message came up which confuses me.

One or more products are currently not in stock.
Please tick this box to confirm that you understand that the order will only be sent out once all products are available. If you wish to receive your order in more than one shipment, you will need to create seperate orders.

So does this mean, all of the 3 items will be posted together, as soon as they are all in stock? Will I be getting them all in June 12th when MGS4 is released? When they say, create separate orders, doesn't that mean I'll lose the discount with the combo if I want GTA4 to arrive before MGS4 because I'll be having to add each item through the checkout one by one? Or is there an option further along th

... Or is there an option further along that lets you choose separate postage packages whilst keeping the discount?

Otherwise, I'll just get GTA4 + DS3 and order MGS4 later. I've never bought off Play-Asia before so I'm not sure how this works. Any help would ne much appriciated.

which shipping option did you choose? the cheaper option sometimes takes about 2 weeks, from what others have mentioned before..

rent - if its already on the way, there's no point renting the game

hi jinx405,

i chose the "cheapest" shipping option ..... ha ha. I was so surprised after the controller arrived very soon ( same cheapest shipping option). after 3-4 working days.

When my UT3 never arrived after 10 days now....especially, the package for the controller was left on my front door step. I am just wondering if it was left on my door step again and someone has stolen it.

Thanks for you help ..... i will follow it up with Play Asia, next week.

no probs 10 days? is that including weekends? if you login to your playasia account, you can see the status of your order. it it says "shipped", then you cant really do much but wait at this point. give it another week or so and see what happens.. hopefully no one stole it..

i've been going fedex with playasia - usually takes a day or two, despite being more expensive

yeah .. i did it again...I ordered GTA IV from Play-Asia, and... i use the cheapest shipping method ( yes.. i am a cheapskate), the other reason is i'm not in a hurry to play the game.

Anyway, it was shipped to me on 9th July, and still i have not received it yet.

I wonder ..... whether it has been confiscated by the custom??

Would this work:
When someone wants to buy something from Play-Asia, they use someone else's affiliation link.

Wouldn't that help out everyone in the group?
