I'm not intense, I bust cases wide open, laying bare the reality of things. I am by nature a pessimist, and by being a pessimist, I look at things objectively and realistically, rather than optimistically and pining on false hope. The only console that has proper local warranty is Sony, and that is because they have a physical presence here. But even then, a lot of those who had YLOD their PS3 either open up their PS3 themselves or go to stores like Gamers Solution who does third party repairs. Why? Because, again, the turn-around time is too long and repair time promised to them are vague enough for them not to proceed with the RMA.

Malaysia is not like the US/UK/AUS/NZ. Customer is always last. My previous case with Panasonic plasma TV I purchased made me draw a general conclusion of the state of "local warranty" in Malaysia: There are none. My plasma was busted less than 24 hours after I received it, and a normal common-sensical response to this from the dealer would be to replace one-to-one, since it was less than 24 hours of use. The response? "We send repair man first, we check first" and delays upon delays, that I only got a working REPLACEMENT Panasonic plasma (which they should've done in the first place!) only after a WEEK after I made payment. My plasma isn't the low-end one, it's flagship, and I get treated this way. I very nearly drag that dealer to the consumer tribunal court, if it is not for him pulling through in the last second. And this is from a person getting a flagship model. Imagine if you get a middle or low end? Would they even bat an eyelid to you?

Moral of the story: In Malaysia, you bloody make sure your purchased item works BEFORE it leaves the shop/warehouse, before it arrives in your house. Once it does, the onus is on the owner to chase multiple entities around in circles just to get what is rightfully yours: your Customer Rights.

Gee.... don't quite have the option to add you from my UK console...

If you want me to say something nice about our nintendo distro MMSoft, sorry you won't hear any from me. The way they operate (like a black box) has already turn me off.

I wish I was that nice one.

It's a further crime when no potential buyers knows about it and still think the "local warranty" is worth waiting for. I'm here to bust the case wide open.

Can't avoid reruns, since there's noobs born every second. Noobs as in new console owners. Who don't know what they're in for when they purchased their consoles and what warranty it entails. I say noob in a non-derogatory way.

That is the reality you experience. I hope you are not suggesting it is universal truth, or gospel for gadgets salvation.

My experience with local warranty, suggest it is not that pathetic.

Like I said, I'm a pessimist. I brace for the worse, and if the situation is better than the worse, then all the better. Betting your horses on the best case scenario or false hope and have that shattered on your face, stings a lot. I get better "local warranty" responses from stores or entities I have dealt with, simply because I've created rapport with them, and they're wiling to go the extra mile to rectify my RMA. If you're new and first time customer, good luck.

Anyone lose a broken tape recorder? Jk jk

Repeat ad nauseum.

Next!

I refer to the term "noob" as how you see it as the term "newbie". Just as how the Android crowd holds no derogatory insinuation calling the manufacturer of the iPhone as "the fruit company".

Did I seriously just see someone sell a used copy of Black Ops 2 for RM 200???

Seriously, how much did he even bought it in the first place...
