I thought the ram was free upgrade to 8GB?

And I noticed the price in xotic kept changing. It was like 1443 the other day. Then now it's back to 1475. 

@astria, did you get GTA yesterday?

oh you mean after the 3% cash discount and on top of that they gave you $30 rebate? so, 1475 - 3% - $30?
does that include free shipping for you from xotic? the deal I've got was either 3% (no free ground shipping) or 2%( free shipping) from a sales person named Hutsady from xotic. Same as me?

Not to forget there's black friday gift from both gentech and xotic. gentech giving free usb 3.0 portable hd while xotic giving a few different choices of items which I think the mini camera is the best.

Personally, I would go for gentech with free ground + 3%(wire transfer) with the portable HD as black friday gift.

i will prefer u get the 8GB free RAM would be nice, the another slot of ram is underneath the keyboard and is vry difficult for u to open it up to add ram on it, consumer accessive ram slot only 2 behind the laptop

Kudos! I'm dang happy that we have another new member joining the CLUB. 

I think the black friday gift is 320GB USB 3.0 5400rpm portable hard disk within that price range, you can check it at gentech website. Their G53 stock price is 1479. I'm getting 'free upgrade' to 8GB and adding 500 GB secondary hard disk. Total should be 1514-3%=1468.58 with free shipping if I'm not wrong but still waiting for their reply for total price and wire transfer detail. But I do notice at xotic it has ready stock while gentech is pre-order status. It might or might not have some difference in time for speed to deliver. I'm using comgateway as well.

most likely cannot. Because they want it to be american credit card (or debit with visa/mastercard)

you could try using paypal, Jeffery used paypal...

jaycn67 please inform me how much total cost in rm include the laptop+shipping.. after u deal ok

I think NOPE. Last time, I used PayPal under a special condition as usually buyers should have a US address in order to use PayPay to purchase something from US resellers. 

yea you can pay direct to comgateway, but you need to setup a paypal for your mastercard debit. and then like jeffery need ask the person whether they will allow special case.

a lot of games are dropping support for LAN already...

StarCraft II, Command & Conquer 4, Need For Speed (since Most Wanted), juz to name a few...

Dang, I found out that I used my notebook mostly on video editing on rendering only. Do you guys think that it is a waste? 

Yes, if you dont have TF2.

TF2 is worth playing, IMO, as both Malaysia and Australia has very strong community.
Well, whats the point of playing LAN with pirated? I mean there isnt much attraction with pirated these days, as you arent playing the game to the fullest. You wont get the actual multiplayer. No additional content where games these days get quite a fair amount of updates and new content.

It's all because of G@rena and all these things, we are losing these LAN functionality in newer games. Also developers switching to consoles instead.

If you love PC gaming, at least have a few copies of original to support the developers.

Steam is a good way to start, IMO, as some of their sales are similar to a price of a pirated game.

hm.... so puto ordered 2 G53jw? like this got 4 owners le....
