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.

2) Flash original Xbox360 (Asian set) is around RM1500-RM1600 also found at Sg Wang
- Can play ahemm games (around RM25-35) and original game.

This is just stupid because they're charging you extra RM 200 - RM 300 for something you can do yourself at home.

I won't go for flashed Xbox 360 because:

1) No Xbox Live, and if you think Xbox Live is just about online multiplayer games, you're wrong. They also have Xbox Live Marketplace (download games content, game demo, trailer, XBLA games), friend list, voice chat, game updates, and more.

2) Some game requires you to update your system to play. If you don't update your system, the game won't boot. What if one day Microsoft includes an update that disables your flashed drive? You won't play that game?

3) Almost the same as reason number 2. Microsoft will release system update via  Xbox Live. What if one day they include an update that disables your flashed drive?

Thats true bro.

But after seeing wif my own eyes (my friend who own it) update the system through the xbox website w/o any problem. He also play live with original GRAW. This make me think twice blink.gif Anyway, i like purchasing a original game which make me feel thumbup.gif

Hmm i think there is no available english games during PS3 launch. Have to wait couple of months b4 buying the PS3. If got the money ler..huhu. Furthermore the game price itself will be estimated around RM250-300. sweat.gif Sure the most buyer are adult category. This i forsee the downside for the PS3. Go go X360 tongue.gif

1999? You mean PS2 vs Xbox vs GameCube? The console war means nothing to me, I owned all those 3 consoles.  tongue.gif

EDIT

To own all 3 consoles last gen, we only need USD 800 (based on launch price), but this time, we need around USD 1250 (PS3 = USD 600, Xbox 360 = USD 400, Wii = estimated USD 250). shocking.gif

Hopefully this time I have enough to purchase PS3 & Wii. sweat.gif I already have Xbox 360.

Yeah, same wif me. But now i'm not interested on wii. The pad is just not suit wif me. shakehead.gif But the PS3, no vibration. Quiet frustrated though. Hopefully there is 3rd party brand doing that eg logitech wif his PS2 wireless gamepad.
