Play-Asia.com is the Best Independent Online Game Retailer

The 6th Annual Cheapy Awards have been announced by Cheap Ass Gamer, and, once again, the title of Best Independent Online Retailer has been bestowed upon our beloved Play-Asia.com.

Customers of Play-Asia understand what makes a good online shopping experience. As CheapyD puts it, "Consistent weekly deals, seasonal sales/contests, great service, and coupons with every order secured the Best Independent Online Game Retailer award for the Hong Kong based specialty retailer." Though it is really the customers that are to be thanked here. Without them, there would be no Play-Asia. Thanks to everyone that shops Play-Asia.com whether you voted or not!

Being the conqueror of this prestigious category for three years in a row is something that Play-Asia is very proud of. Responding to the news, a Play-Asia.com spokesperson said, "Thank you ladies and gentlemen! Winning the Cheapy Awards Best Independent Online Game Retailer award again means a lot to us. It's these kind of things that make our work here more meaningful. We are proud and happy, and will work hard to do even better in the future! Thanks again to all who participated and thanks to a more than decent CheapyD for running these awards year after year. Happy gaming and world peace!"

We are proud and honored that Play-Asia.com once again has been nominated by the dedicated community of www.cheapassgamer.com for their Annual Cheapy Awards. CheapAssGamer is a community of hardcore gamers and, eh, savers.
