I can guarantee that there is no reason to buy ANYTHING at NRT. Last summer, in Singapore, we found no bargains at SimLim Square (which is supposed to be the place for electronics) or elsewhere. Singapore no longer sells all-zone DVD players, either, since that wouldn't be law abiding!
In Malaysia, well, the deals are pirated software, videos, and CDs....they might not work when you get home, but for $1.75 to $3.50 each, you might be tempted (also there is the gamble that customs might take them).
