Just go buy it . I just got mine XD, you try read  http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1772845 this, it about PS3 FAQ for beginners. There is still blue/pink(if not mistaken) color for limited/special edition. I still prefer black color.

Blue color is GT5 limited edition. the unmodded PS3 can play blue ray and PSN game[need to sign up]. Again I still new here. I bought RM1299 from sony center with free HDMI cable[RM199].

Do pm me your PSN ID after you purchased. *haha*, i'm newbie here.Hope can find more new kaki.

hey dude! good choice. get a ps3. its a whole lot of fun. (sound like a salesman)
anyways, from what i read above, you state that you are planning to get from the sony centre. think you shud, that way you dont have to worry about anything. if you want, you can find sellers on garage sales>games. saw a few trusted seller there.
ylod mostly happens on the phat ps3, not so often on the slim ones. not sure if its covered under warranty. urmm ori games can b saved on the hdd only if you download them on the PSN store, not transfer it from the bluray that you purchased.
hope this helps. cheers!

Buy either the Malaysia set (around RM 1200+) or SG Set (around RM 1100). You can get from some of the dealers here if you're concern from buying retail. Most of them can COD for you, and normally they would carry both MY or SG set. Myself prefer MY because don't want to go to SG to claim warranty or ask the dealer to handle it. Although my PS3 got no problem for 2 years so probably could have save around hundred bucks if buy SG set (all PS3 got 1 year warranty but MY got free additional 3 months though not sure if promo is over).

Again you can ask the dealers here (just click on the link below). All of them I heartily recommend. If you're from :

1. KL / PJ
    - Playtime Bangsar
    - Heavyarm Subang
    - Heroes Tavern SS2
    - PS Zone - Puchong / Cheras

2. Johor Bahru
    - Impulse Megastore
    - Playzone Enterprise

They also would do delivery but expect to pay some charge. I've dealt with all of them and if you want more info or the best advice, give them a shout.

Happy Hunting.

Good choice. Either Luke (from Impulse) or Steve (from Playzone) should carry MY sets. Best get from them because Sony Centres follow the Retail price but Luke / Steve should be able to discount a bit and maybe give u a free cable or something. They're still MY set coz u need to register online for the warranty anyways, or just keep the receipt.
