I am currently using the free mouse pad that was given to me when I bought Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars back in 2007! It has been 5 years and I can’t image how much dirt has been collected on the surface of the mouse pad, so it is time for me to change!
Just a heads up, starting from August 2012, I will be giving away a Logitech Gaming Product via a Twitter contest every month for the next 3 months, totalling S$620, so watch for it. The contests will be open to all my readers based in Singapore only (sorry about that).
These 3 Logitech products are (not in any particular order):
Pre-ordered my copy of Diablo III: Collector’s Edition from Amazon on the 14th March 2012, it was shipped on the 17th May 2012 (1 day after the official release) and I got it on the 20th May 2012 (didn’t know DHL delivers on Sunday as well).
The game itself cost US$99.90 (S$126.60) and shipping (normal) cost US$19.98 (S$25.30). Paid a total of US$119.97 (S$152) for it.
Interesting! SingTel is bringing in the 3G/WiFi PlayStation Vita to Singapore! It will be on sale from 14th April 2012. The RRP of it is S$469 and of course if you get it from SingTel, it will be subsidized (price plans located at the bottom of this post)
You can pre-order the PS Vita online at singtel.com/PSVita from today (28th March 2012). Pre-order customers will receive S$20 worth of Sony PlayStation Network credits to purchase games.
If you are like me and prefer to own the collector edition’s (CE) physical box, you can get it from Amazon (Diablo III: Collector’s Edition) for about US$100 (S$126) and they do ship directly to Singapore for US$20 (S$25), so total cost including shipping would be US$120 (S$151).
Bought Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds from GameScore at Funan. It was released in the US on the 15th February 2011 but the Japan/Asia version is out only today. Europe will be tomorrow, 18th February 2011. I got it for S$52.20 after member’s discount (Thanks Benjamin)!
