I have never seen them. And if they are, you won't find any above the 7600gt series. I highly doubht that you will find XFX here as Korea would have to import it. The "vid companies" do not like that (gigabyte and forca). Why should they import when they can sell you a subpar card? ewww. I hate korean video cards. |

Demophobe said: It's a good place to shop when you have some Korean skills, people there you can trust and a thorough knowledge of what you want and how much you are willing to pay.
This is my thinking too. You have to be carefull and check on line prices first. You have to know what you need/want and how it works.
I have shops where I have purchased from in the past many a time. These are people I trust.
Sometimes the guys will "see you comming" and think of a price or a line. It's the same at either technomart or Yongsan.
BTW: Be really carefull buying hard disks in the "open air" (whatever it is ) part. They are usually used (as someone here already stated) and have bad sectors and in some cases data still on them. Make sure you get a receipt and warranty for longer than a month. Better yet, head indoors and get a NEW drive with good A/S for a little more cash.
 What of a new toy?
Me, I got a new PC a few months back thats really quick, so I suppose I will check out the Nintendo Wii as it's modded and the games are on-line everywhere. It looks like fun for me and the wife.
The PS3 isn't modded yet and I don't know if the Paradox loader really will work, Also this Blue Ray vs HDDVD thing is still up in the air a bit.
I like Yongsan beacuse I can look, touch, read specs and try things. I can't do all that on-line. |

youngsan blows!! you can buy everything you need online! and its cheaper!
I have built all my systems from online stores in korea. sure they are based out of youngsan! but I dont have to waste my time driving down there and trying to save 2000 won on an item! have it all made from 2 or 3 stores.. let my fingers do the walking!
and when you want to buy like ONE item! enuri is way cheaper than any store in youngsan! |

Yongsan sucks. You have to go to many stores and check the stuff out, and then you have to make sure you're getting a good price.
As previous posters said, the quality of some hardware is not up to snuff. I wanted a 5" external case for my IDE DVD burner, but all the stores had were some cheap ones made in China. I had to wait till I went to Japan.
I went to Yodobashi Camera in Osaka, and I was able to get stuff without hassles. It makes you appreciate the one stop electronics stores. |
