Hi mates,

I've been walking through lowyat today and managed to ask some vendors how much they are selling the new XBOX 360 4GB. The average quote I got was around RM850. I called up Gamer's Hideout and they were selling theirs for RM999.


What gives? I thought Gamer's Hideout was supposed to be well, the place for Malaysians to buy original. How come then is Lowyat cheaper?

Should I just buy from Lowyat instead?

What kind of support are we talking about? I mean, it is quite a difference, about RM100 - RM150?

Mates...why can't you just TELL me what kind of support we are talking about?

I'm asking because I want to know before I buy and all you tell me is to find out only when I have a problem. That's not very useful. Where's the love dudes......

Okay, thank you. I will give them a call tomorrow. Frankly speaking though, it would be a task breaking the news to my dad though. I found someone selling in lowyat for a cheaper price and it was the reason I managed to convince my dad. =\

Okay. So mainly it has to do with the warranty? Sorry for the anxious tone. I'm trying to get it this weekend so I'm torn between these two.

You mean they still charge me even if I buy from them? Well, then I suppose I could buy from Lowyat and then go to GH for my games and warranty issues.

......right?

Wonder if they'll answer my inquiry about that lol.

Thank you all for your insights. I will seriously consider getting my Slim from GH. If it is true that Lowyat sellers have very bad after sales support then i will definitely go for GH.

If i buy from GH do they have like a membership or somwething that i can join? You know, get involved in promos and stuff. XD

@jonee: yes everything is sealed in the box.

Hi guys, please bear with me for a little while here. I just phoned GH and the FOC trips to S'pore for warranty claims only last 6 months. After that they will charge me for courier fee.

He did say that they help send other units to S'pore even if it wasn't bought from GH but of course as usual they charge you for the courier fee.

So from what I can understand here, if I were to buy from Lowyat for RM780 compared to GH's RM999, I have RM200 in the bank for me to use when my Xbox does experience problems right?

If I got mine from GH and it fails only after 6 months, I lose all the advantage of getting my unit from GH.

I know but I'm kinda trying to weigh things out you know. I'm paranoid... O_O
