after seeing this thead, i've called up Machines (gardens) and spoke to a guy there,
according to him their HQ is currently in talks with apple over this issue, so they'll keep us posted on whether the refund is applicable for malaysia or not

p/s: just joined their fb page

I got mine on the 23rd of february, haha

i got mine at machines -gardens,
i called there today and spoke to a guy called Lee about it

Yeah
Nimrod and rvin are right too, it's better to plan your purchases
For my case, the refund isn't that big of a deal, it would just be a bonus if they decide to give it.
I'm still happy with my purchase, and that's what counts in the end, haha

anyone contacted machines regarding this?

edit: i've just sent my proof of purchase to machines, as per their instructions in their facebook page.

anyone who hasn't done so yet, here's a reminder,
