Wii is never HD to begin with. You don't see heavy games like RE5, AC2, Dirt 2 available on Wii, coz the graphic in Wii is as good as PS2/Xbox 1 only

Consoles almost all the same unless you are the type that goes for pirated ones only.

Beware of peep in here who tries to entice u to buy any console. Do your own research and homework accordingly to what type u want.

Due to the heavy competition between 3 consoles, u wont see much promising games  with some spontaneous features. It's more on FPS , Interactive , smulation with heavy HD elements focused these days. All 3 consoles have it and none of them lacks any of the above mentioned flavours.

The few interesting game which caught my attention is idolmaster and the DOA beach game which ps3 nv had. That's the only 2 fancy game i find it interesting for xbox360. Yea till these days , sony still on their own track without listening to what most gamers demands.

Yup, im doing my research on that.

Btw, i got QUES for all. I went and check out the current price for both consoles and their warranty + games.

For Price:
PS3 - RM1299 (Price from Ori SONY CENTRE)
X360 - RM1200 (Arcade, Modded)

Warranty:
Both gives only 1 YEAR, i wonder what happened to the 3 YEARs RUMOURS... Anybody? hmm.gif

Games:
X360 - Can get AHEM2 games biggrin.gif
PS3 - All ORI only wink.gif

Types of Games:
I found my most fav games are from X360, Some on PS3... Not interested in Wii curently... rclxms.gif

So, I did some calculation... And Still doing... rolleyes.gif

So, i need expert advice on how to know the consoles i buy will be NEW/GOOD/ORI(Modded/Not) and is there any details on specs that i need to know?
PS3 no worries, can get the ORI from SOny Centre. So my concern on X360? Btw, there sell Arcade, Jasper version. Whats the ELITE thingy? Need to know more details. notworthy.gif

dont mod your xbox if u intend to play online with it
if u intend to play online on xbox live, dont even think of playing pirated game
once u mod ur xbox, official warranty becomes invalid

official Malaysian PS3 warranty is 12+3 months
warranty for Xbox however need to go to Singapore

Elite is xbox 360 but it is black in colour.got 120gb hdd.black controller

i think ps3 more cheaper la.buy sngapore 120gb .rm 1180.malaysia expensive a bit,but ps3 less rosak what..so buy sgapore

xbox 360 arcade 512mb=rm 1200(modded).unmodded should be cheaper.maybe 1100.ps3 cheap bcause they give 120gb hdd and maybe the new design make it cheap.but ps3 now reasonable price except for the game

actually u cn go live but risky.for xbox
nowdays xbox price not reasonable at all.i found xbox elite rm 1999 just now.i think its just that shop..stnadrd price should be around rm 1200-1400

Xbox is 3 years warranty for ori. Claim in Singapore.

Why going xbox route must be pirate one? I don't get it why some of you think that way.

unfortunately not much does care over these despite the result they gonna get.

I had a few friends who explain that ps3 too expensive and xbox play offline enough no need online. They just want to spend 1k plus to buy 1/2 the feeling of it rather then experiencing fully what xbox had lol.
Well of course i dont really object to such opinion since offline version is best to spend 1k plus on rather then using their pc to play which is hilarious.

possibility to get YLOD again is high, cost to repair is around RM400, even some sellers here give 1 month warranty, I doubt that it can last long within a month..which give some signs before end up YLOD again, fan goes hyperdrive mode, sudden switch off, always freezing

if you sent to local shop that is

not sure if you sent to Sony, they might exchange with refurbished unit maybe

no ler. i fix rm150 only.. cheap cheap!!! haha

its no where near to 3ROD in terms of failure rate sleep.gif

YLOD only started to appear in late 2007, a year after PS3 launch, so it isn't too bad coz Xbox 360 kena RROD within a year.

so far not heard of any bad cases with PS3 Slim, except some rare defects which claimable by warranty, as for YLOD, it need at least a year only can check out whether this design revision can escape from YLOD.. at the moment, just have faith in the 45nm Cell, 65nm RSX.. wink.gif

I say you go for xbox 360,the gaming experience is way better than ps3.im not fanboy or what.
Now the chance of kena RROD have gone.+want to buy elite now easier and cheaper.
But about going online,You can wait 1-3 month to go LIVE after buying teh console..if you dont have the budget$$.
easy.but its up to you.

1)360 graphic r better..from my opinion.
2)360=no RROD anymore,ps3= YLOD err? but 360 is like oven...
3) ^ 4) xbox 360=pc=the same game.
5)many reasonable price at LYN garage sales..why dont have a look?
6)PS3 kot..
7)ORI=360 & Ps3. dont buy Jack sparrow. if youre going LIVE
