Hey all,
Last Sunday, I went to Sg Wang to buy a PS2. The first shop I went to was the HobbyShop, since I parked at the BB Plaza, so the HS was the first I bumped into when I entered Sg Wang. It was a green shop with a big X sign on the 3rd floor (IT floor) near the entrance to BB Plaza. There I met the woman who used to work in ElvenTech, but not wife of Mr. ElvenTech's. She was the other woman. Less snotty. But she appeared to be very friendly in the new shop. Maybe the influence of the snotty wife had reduced... he he he.

So I asked her what happened to ElvenTech, she said she didn't know. She looked really tense when I mentioned ElvenTech. Must be something wrong somewhere. So now she worked with a new boss. She's changed!!!

She offered me the PS2 with one original and one fake controller + 10 games for RM660. She claimed that her shop was an honest shop, and warned me about the other shops in Sg Wang, bla bla bla. Good price but I told her that I would shop around first, and she said okay.

So off to the other shops on the 3rd floor. Asked around and the price mostly was RM699, except for the one with a pretty girl selling RM680. So, went to the Ground flr. Some asked up to RM720. The one near the Parkson entrance offered RM550, but the low price made me sceptical about the components. So, I decided that the HobbyShop would be the best for me. So, up to the 3rd floor again.

So, finally I bought at the Hobbyshop. After I chose the games, a specky-chubby guy helped me test the machine. Got the console, the adapter (he claimed it was original, but not sure if it really was; anyhow, the adapter was taken from the box and looked as if the seal was untouched until he opened it), one "original" joystick (but I knew it was a grade AA one, since the analog sticks had rough edges at the bottom of the knob, unlike the original Sony joystick that came with my previous PS2 I bought 3 years ago (now already faulty, anyone wants to buy it?), and one fake joystick. I also bought a vertical stand for RM10. So, the total was RM670. Didn't buy the memory card since I already had one from my previous machine. But the price was RM60.

So, that's my story for now. I have been playing the PS2 without any problem, except that one of the games could not start, the Midnight Club III - DUB Edition. I guessed that the DVD was at fault, not the machine since the other games played well. Oh yeah, the shop sold all DVD games for RM3 each, except for GT4 which was RM6, since it was a D9 disk.

Good shop. See how my PS2 goes. Anyway, so far, I only played it for 3-4 hours per run. Don't know what will happen If I played longer.

he means the one near BB plaza at 3rd floor

I hate buying from SG. WANG, the people there treat customer like mentally retarded, look at my rant ~

their ahem dvds alot problems... but they let me change la... sometimes need to exchange a few times only can play...
i bought 3 ps2 controllers from them separately, all they claim is original... but when i reach home, open up and see, one of them is a grade AAA controller >< i can also feel it when i play games, the vibration is not as strong as the original ones... kena con liao >< anyway, it's an old story, will still buy my future consoles from mr elventech only...  i remember the fake controller is sold by one of the women in his shop ><
