hi ps3 gurus....

just wanna ask whats the current price for a PS3 60GB set now?

i'm in japan right now, just walked into takashimaya dept store and saw 60GB PS3 going for rm2k. just wondering whats the price diff with mallaysia for a Japan PS3?

how about warranty? how long from shops in KL? and oh yeah, the warranty given by the shops in KL is just from the local shop? not officialy from sony right? i wonder if sony malaysia will cover warranty if i buy from japan.

and sorry for the noob question, but are the games still region locked like PS2? meaning i cant play US/EU games on the Japan PS3? or its region free now??

thanks for the help guys.

and oh ya, if anyone wants any new games direct from japan, i can buy them here. but not too many ya, incase i get caught at customs. but only problem is i wont buy unless u bank the money in my account first, which most ppl wont anyways. oh well whistling.gif

RM2k? Thats quite expensive. Malaysia dont hv official PS3 releases, so dont hv warranty. Here, in KL can get around RM1500.
Since u at Japan, why don't u go to Akihabara. icon_rolleyes.gif

I bought mine for 1.5K (console only, no controller) early this month for HK Asian set. The controller is quite cheap, you can get around RM120-RM165. For me, I got it for free.

Arj just bought his HK Asian set for RM1.7k (console + 1 controller) from Sg Wang last Saturday.

Both are 60G PS3.
