simple , if u buy during the launch day ( Malaysia PS3 ) u got Malaysian Warranty , If u buy SG unit then u got Singapore Warranty...

that mean if anything happen to ur ps3 (chances to get are really low) u need to pay for the shipping money otherwise if local warranty simply just go to any nearest sony outlet for ur reparing

if u buy the malaysia edi , if anything just send it to sony service center here in malaysia , but if u buy singapore set , u must send it to sony singapore and of course at singapore itself..

but sending to singapore plus waiting for ur console to be repair , it takes long time...what most people do when their PS3 lens rosak , they just send it to reputable gameshop which provides replacing the lens & also repair..the best thing is , u will get ur console the same day...its cheaper too rather then send to SG.

A game shop in JB is selling Malaysia PS3 80GB for RM1399
No games, 1 Dualshock 3 ...

worth it?

while a SG 40GB PS3 is going for RM1299 (with 2 games)

Geez, feel like buying but, the lack of JRPG ... hmm...... makes me think thrice....

Wow that is cheap. I'll scout for that price in KL. Anyone know where i can get around that price for a malaysian set?

well most of KL shop selling at RM1.5K

lets say if i dont have PS3 at this moment and plan to get one , i do still go for SG PS3 40GB cause the hardware same as PS3 Malaysia , the best thing bout SG unit cause they have wide variety of console color ( piano black , silver satin & ceramic white )...bout the warranty , i wont care..around KL have a lot of great console Technician can repair PS3..so no worries.

True true, I agree with you bro. For rm13xx can get the 40GB version, the money you save you could buy a 250gb hdd and replace the 40gb.

well for KL case maybe buying SG set is cheaper
but then for JB, since 'ori MY' set is 1399 only
the deal seems better as the sg set comes with sixaxis instead of DS3
but i am wondering, why is it so cheap. . . .lol

whats the difference between buying a malaysian ps3 set from a normal game shop compared to buying it from Sony? if theres any problem, will i be able to sent it to a malaysian sony service center if i bought it from a normal shoP??

thanks

it makes no difference as long as there's malaysian warranty sticker on the box and the serial numbers for the ps3 is legit when you register it in sony malaysia website.

Just wanna share sumthing...

Bought an 80gb PS3 today (my boss punya anak not playing anymore, so been collecting dust for > 6 months, and father also fed-up as games mahal hehehehe)

lens rosak so can't read games
Amount to pay - RM950
Repair lens - RM350
Pay to owner ------- RM600

With 2 x sixaxis + WWE + Skate

Untung la lu ....

Anyone wanna let go their PS3 at RM600 also?

shah alam mall selling 80gb MY set for 14xx . cheap

SACC mall?which shop?

shah alam mall. not sacc. in section 9. dunno shop name but if u enter the digital corner section, the shop is far inside to the left. ask for the guy. the female sales asstnt >.< she just a sales asstnt, dunno much about game

Shah Alam Mall - RM14XX that Cheap..

I checked with shops in Summit USJ, RM1550 - No games,
bundled with 1 games RM16XX or 2 games RM17XX..

Almost all shops in Sungai Wang selling for RM1500.. this was last weekend

It's just a matter of time, before the price is competitive

That's a nice price, may I know where is the shop located as well its name? I went to Singapore not long ago and man the price is better there but for convenience and such I'll go with local.

Don't exactly remember the shop name, something like FunWay/Fun-something
Located next to KFC, there are tons of game shop there, never bothered to ask the rest.
Shop is in Holiday Plaza

The Singapore set doesn't have the DS3??
That explains why it's cheaper..

Summary of M'sian set PS3 console price without game,

Sg Wang rm1500
Shah Alam rm1400

I bought mine on 26/09/2008 ( Friday ) Malaysia PS3 80GB around RM1599 + x1 Free Game + SkinGuard ( Bought it at Play-On Enterprise of Sungei Wang Plaza , KL )

My previous PS3 Ceramic White 40GB (SG) already sold to one of the forummer at RM1200..Not bad rite , Just add RM399 to Upgrade to Malaysia PS3 80GB.

untung gila 80gb which region ?

GamersFamilia,
If i want to buy without the game and skin, how much would it be (just the console + DS3)?

for sure not Malaysia PS3 80GB , cause he bought from his boss son ( which is the boss son didnt play it till 6 month ) , Malaysia PS3 80GB launch last 20th September 2008..So totally not Malaysia PS3 80GB.

Im not videogames retailers...Just bought mine last friday 26/09/2008 ( Sony Playstation 3 80GB - Malaysia Unit ) , the statement above that i make is what are included when i purchased the console..

Me just like u...Gamers

I thought your reason for selling the PS3 Ceramic is because you not into gaming anymore.....

but the truth is that you bought a new Malaysian PS3

yup not into gaming anymore ( within a hours time ) , then back to gaming.

Sometimes I find your statement a bit funny and I have seeing you posting all around from Xbox forum and now jump to PS forum. Great technician around KL who can fix PS3 no problem? How about firmware problem? You think they can fix it? Motherboard fried... can fix or not? Don't give useless comment when know nothing about hardware. Besides, the 40GB is the OLDER model and now 80GB all come in BLACK only at the moment (even in SG).

And you sold your SG PS3 and bought a local and yet saying you don't care about warranty.

Best Denki still selling same package as launch. RM1799. Also got RM19xx with additional ds3

ok sorry boss...will improve my comments soon.

Free gift umbrella or bag + USB drive

Is not a USB Drive. Is a USB Memory Stick Card Reader.
The umbrella is quite nice too.

which best denki was it? any idea if they have stock? i been to sont klcc, curve, one u, times square and gamers hideout.. all say no stock

No stock is not because of sell out. It's because of sony, never plan ahead.

But they are taking orders still.

i think sonyMY is surprised by demand, that's all.

after all to many M'sian dictionary, for the past decade,

PLAYstation = PIRACYstation

i can still hear ppl being shocked to find out that there is no PS3 pirated games

hi guys, planning to move into my first house soon. one of the things i need confirmation is whether the PS3's backward compatility is as 'messy' as shown in youtube?

am first time wondering into the world of PS and not sure to go with either one of the combo below:

combo 1: dvd player and PS2
combo 2: PS3

advices appreciated

take both combo is the best choice..

if you have only lcd tv/plasma tv..forget about getting PS2...
you will get worst graphic ever...

It's bad preparation.

Even on launch date, they don't even have enough SC4 to go with the bundle.

Best Combo
DVD Player + PS3

Ya is ture. If you have a LCD i think you should save your money for the PS2 for PS3.

You considering backward compatibility but you sure you willing to buy PS2 originals?

PS3 price cuts at the Year 2009?

For those PS3 without games package @RM14xx-RM15xx. Does it come with any freebies??

Nope.

for those from JB i wanna ask u something...rite now i`m at guatemala...ps3 price here 1k more xpensive to malaysia....found ps3 at amsterdam airport sell at 379 euro u get 1 ds3 and 10000bc movie....blu ray of coz...

i`m about to buy 1 when come back to malaysia...so i would like to ask ur opinion...where shud i buy...

a. sony center at tebrau city cost about RM1599
b. holiday plaza dunno the price
c. amsterdam airport...

cud u plz state also the pro and cons at every place if u like to....i`ll be back to malaysia on 16 oct...do u think the price might be change during that time?

sony centre. well, its just an opinion.

Malaysia already got official ps3 so warranty no problem. And it does stated need to bring box and official invoice, so if u buy from sony, save the invoice properly for warranty

where did you see that need bring the box back?

I try check back. It surprise me too

eh silap. that one for dh3. it says must keep package for verification

while for ps3, must keep original invoice

so if i buy it from sony center does it included Soul Calibur IV, tote bag, and a CD holder? bcoz i heard it comes with all of that?...the price still 1599 rite?
