Rm1400 now? <==lowest price?

Xbox 360 Asia Premium is selling for around RM 1400, but some shop sell as low as RM 1300. You have to go every shop and ask their best price.

If you want cheaper, you can buy Xbox 360 Japanese console, around RM 900 only. But the downside, you have to use stepdown-transformer which is bulky and inconvinient.

Anyway idea which shop that sell xbox360 RM900 only..   jelos plak aku dengar harga dia

Last week my friend went to Sungei Wang, and that's the latest price for Japanese Xbox 360. Not sure that price has include stepdown-transformer or not.

how much for the stepdown tranformer? JAP can play asia ver game?

Somehow I'm not surprised. According to a post over on Evil Avatar, the latest EGM podcast says Sony will have an Achievement clone called "Entitlements" for the Playstation 3. Bit of a strange name in my opinion. I like the term "Achievements" because it describes awards you earn for doing things in the game. "Entitlements" somehow sounds like something you're, well, entitled to... perhaps even without having to play. Anyway, guess I was right on the prediction,...

GI: What do you like about working on the PS3? How about the Xbox 360? Will there be any major differences between the two versions?

Högdahl: So far the two versions look pretty much the same - quite unsurprisingly, since we use the same shader source code and content for both platforms. They will be identical gameplay-wise. There will only be very minor cosmetic differences, such as the PS3 will have better quality video for the in-game TVs and on the Xbox 360 we have a bit more room for textures in memory.

Much debate has gone into whether or not the DVD9 format is too small for next generation titles. Looking over the data, it's fairly evident that in fact DVD9 is not too small for next generation games as much as it was too big for the last generation's. Very few games on the original Xbox came close to pushing the limits of the DVD9 format, leaving plenty of room for growth for the Xbox 360.

Undoubtedly, games will grow. However, technology designed to keep them small and compact will grow as well. In many ways, the debate over Microsoft's handling of the DVD9 and HDDVD formats is simply a matter of a red herring. People see it and worry about it, but there is little data to suggest there will actually be a problem with it.

The PS3 will be able to store more data with their blu-ray discs, but that won't necessarily mean that they'll be any less limited in their creativity. It might simply give developers more room to be sloppy in their programing.

Resistance: Fall of Man is one of the PS3's key launch titles



The revelation comes from an article posted by MTV News, which details some brief statements from Insomniac Games' spokesperson Ryan Schneider. "We're going to fit more on a Blu-Ray disc than you could on an HD DVD," he told MTV.

The HD DVD and Blu-ray formats are competing disc technologies. HD DVD handles about 15 gigabytes; the Blu-ray can handle 25 gigabytes. In comparison, the biggest PC games top out at around 7 gigabytes -- less than a third the size of PS3 exclusive Resistance, estimated at 22 gigabyes.

The massive storage size for the final version of Resistance (which the article says are "thanks to high-res graphics and orchestral music") could serve as a potent response to concerns that Sony's Blu-ray format has no benefit for gamers. In contrast, the Xbox 360 can only hold up to 8 gigabytes per game disc.



Other key details from the article:

    * motion-sensing functions will allow you to rifle butt aliens by jabbing out one side of the PS3 controller
    * Sony claims that the online experience will exceed Xbox Live titles
    * 40-player online games, with some form of ranking system

Nentendo sucks.. the controler sux too... Can any one imagine waving that thing for HOUR... very tiring..
