Like many before me, my HK tourist SIM expired. I no longer was eligible for data and was unwilling…read moreto pay the Peoples price for an extended plan. There were other substantially cheaper plans out there that would allow me to save on the card and roam throughout Asia at the same time. How did I know all of this? The fine folks at Phone People. Aside from helping me price out various options, they were able to give me an unbiased perspective on all the big mobile providers and help me maximize my value for what kind of plan I wanted. I learned the hard way there is no such thing as unlimited plans anymore, but they managed to help me find the next best thing (10GB) for a little more than the cost of my initial tourist SIM. They tinkered around with several SIMs, hoping to find one that would work. They were such pros that they also helped fix my faulty audio jack and clean my phone interior at no charge! How's that for service? English seems to be ok, which might be good for all the tourists nearby. They are extremely diligent and polite and I would recommend their services to anyone.

If you are looking for old systems, there will be a vendor here for it. Building your own, someone here will build one for you. Though things have changed since the last time I was here about 4 years ago. There were only about 75% of the vendors left here who are selling games, and gaming accessories. There was a whole downstairs underground level to the shopping center, however most of it was all computer components. There was also a huge thing about selling multicades here. For those who don't know, it's a unit with hundreds to thousands of games preload into a single unit. Many of them now are full sized control units which just needs to be plug and play. Beware if you are taking it back home to another country. Some of these units may violate some copyright laws. Also, the power supply may be different at home than what you have in HK, so buyer beware for both of those. Overall, still worth the visit. It still took us a good 2 hours to visit all the stalls, even with less vendors here. We still walked out of there with a bag full of games and vintage games (a couple of original game boy and a neo-geo game).
