yes they do...

I read in some forum...some states are exempt from the sales tax e.g. Oregon

So all i need to do is juz register a new PSN ID using Oregon address...but will the download game work with my other PSN ID??? Anyone try this b4 or buy w/o getting charged tax?? hmm.gif

Tax sucks vmad.gif

hi, just wanna ask, is it worth it to buy a ps3 slim from america? i checked online and the price there for 160gb is $299.99 or roughly rm950. and no, i wont be going there often so warranty is pretty much null.
*
worth it if you buy the holiday season bundles..like earlier poster mentioned ps3 slim 160gb + god of war trilogy $299 at gamestop....but now all the promotion over already, need to wait for christmas kot

Amazon still got one bundle - PlayStation 3 160GB Amazon Family Bundle w/ Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time and SingStar Dance Party Pack + $25 cash bonus (applicable for next video game purchase)

or for $379 get the walmart bundle: Playstation 3 160GB Console, Nyko Blu-ray IR Remote Controller, PS3 Wireless Controller, Choice of 2 Top Selling PS3 games (recommend AC:B and COD:BO)

RM1300 for bring it i.. for, which i say.. wayyyyy toooo exp man... doh.gif at their offical page they selling it for USD250 only.. which if think about the shipment + tax or whatsorever wont reach RM1.3K hahaha.. if got ppl confirm buying this, we will discusss of the shipment method and everything.. heck 2 heads are better than one rite.. thumbup.gif

about the quality differences i can't compare much.. i never had a wireless headset, except for my Sony official headset.. (it's like putting a hard stick in ur earhole.. not comfortable at all) doh.gif
*
wahh 1.3k is very expensive...if going by now exchange rate the headset shud be rm800, i guess with s/h + tax probably rm1k wink.gif
as comparison i ship ps3 set + 14 games in two boxes from us to mas cost is rm500
pm me when u guys buying ya...oso hv to check whether got enuf $$$ or not hehe tongue.gif

Hi guys, I am looking to buy a PS3. I've got a computer LCD Monitor, bought few months back only. I think it's got a HDMI input. So I just buy a DVI-HDMI cable for the ps3 and it's all good? Do I need that? normal DVI cable cannot? And also, how do I get sound? Can I buy a computer speaker also? Cause the monitor also seem to have a audio 3.5mm slot.
*
My setup is like yours. HDMI from PS3 to LCD monitor. Then audio out from monitor 3.5mm slot to speaker using speaker provided cables.

same to me when i connect my ps3 to monitor..but for PC there is no sound tongue.gif  that's why i'm getting HDMI switch. SO both PC and PS3 will be using HDMI cable connecting to the monitor. Both will get sound from the HDMI cable
*
So wait got one HDMI cable from monitor to the switch, then another HDMI cable from switch to PS3 and another to PC..so you can instantly switch both sound and picture on ur monitor to either PC or PS3..is that correct?

Currently for audio I manually plug/unplug while to change the monitor display to either PC/PS3 I change input source for PS3 to HDMI, PC to DVI.
