it's okay for me to buy at least 1 game like they said. but the thing that make me angry is the game sikit sangat and the game title is such a noob game. annoying  rclxub.gif

if you want sony malaysia warranty, you have to buy the console with one game. that rule has been there since ps3 was launched locally on sept 2009. if you don't like it, you can go buy from ah long game shop and end up with no warranty, fake controller and second hand console repackaged as "new".. whistling.gif

* if not mistaken few seller in LYN also can offer MY set..better get from them than SS...just support them since they already give us special price compare to RRP  icon_rolleyes.gif

for sony style, you have to buy one game with ps3. i don't know about sony center since they are only sony's agent and not sony's own shop like sony style.

Hey guys, I need some help here.

Mysterious blinking pixels are appearing when I play certain games. It appeared in GT5 (When there's animation, no blinking pixels visible when in loading screen, but when racing or anything that involves animation, the pixels appears), Sports Championship and LBP 1. I realize these 3 games were published by Sony Computer Entertainment, anything to do with them? The rest of the games by other publishers such as Racket Sports, FF13 and Need for Speed Shift does not appear to have the mysterious pixels.

Oh and I am using an R3 PS3.

If i am not mistaken, when ps3 was first launched with 20GB model, it also got 4 usb ports.

The 40GB model only have 2 and I used to have one before I replaced it with a slim ps3.

2009 ps3 price drop already. if you bought your ps3 in 2007, it will probably cost more then 2K and that don't include game and another ds3.

sony set very high price for ps3 at the time  mad.gif

games were very limited back then...

there were so few games back then, until people started to joke that there was nothing to play on ps3.

fast forward to today and there are so many games to play on ps3 until we don't have enough time to play them all.. sad.gif
