I just wonder, why do microsoft don't bring in Xbox to malaysia officially. From what i see, piracy is not much an issue, coz i believe there are a lot of ppl here that buy original softwares, unlike the previous "consoles".

In fact, during microsoft events, they do showcase xbox-es, i just don't understand why..

any thoughts?

piracy is the issue here~. thats why they didn't launch the old xbox till now...

Well.. from what i see, the piracy for xbox360 probably not as rampant as before.

In fact, to my surprise - there are so many ppl here who buy original xbox.

you can't compare the ammont here. (which is around 100 - 150 user) that buy original.

is like in malaysia. our mind-set its... "Jack Sparrow" "Boot-Leg" "Pirated" only then buy.

100 person who purchase original.. but 1 million here buy "those"

Piracy is still very much an issue. When the local gamestores keep promoting modded consoles, it doesnt help.

ok lor...

darn...

chill la~. why so "down" all a sudden.. I also hope that micrsoft quickly launch here~ so the warranty and claims can be done easily.. plus my shop also want the "official" reseller licence as well ..

mohamadfazli.....100 legit 360 owners is NOT alot.....seriously, look at it from a business perspective....to launch ur gonna have to spend cash on servers, staff, maintainence, yada, yada, yada.....it just isnt worth it

and im sure u started this thread after reading about the rumour on the other thread about MS banning accounts....well, that IMO is just gonna cause more piracy in this region....

theres nothing we can do but to wait for the official word from MS
like cows waiting to be slaughtered.....eeek

"Like cows waiting to be slaughtered"
~ thats so wrong using as an example and nasty~

well..

guess the only thing we need is a service center. With respect to online servers and stuffs, i think we can live with our neighbour (singapore?).

Even then, service center is not much an issue, because we have some many distributors here that i am sure willing to set up the center.

Maybe shud contact microsoft malaysia directly.. hmmm

Ya..definitely the ori xbox user has improve dratiscally over the last gen.

So we don't know yet but there are rumours microsoft will launch here next year?

that still need to wait really really.. long way to go~. hiah~. zzzzzzzz

see if i still have contacts with one of microsoft's director in malaysia on my yahoo list.... ekekeke

mebbe should get djinn to talk to the person in charge in malaysia, who knows gamer's hideout can become the main distributor for malaysia... heh heh

hiahhh...djinn...all ur fault la...see ur dummy US account!!faster delete!it will soothe teh beast! and we all get to keep our live accounts!kekekekeke j/k lar

cannot la~ distributor is a very very big big.. I mean BIG investment needed and a lot of man power to do it~.

me only small company ... how to handle such a big thing~?~?

That would be cool but does Djinn want that responsibility?

If so bro Djinn thats a whole lot of power you can have.

yes. indeed a lot of power~.. but whats with power that without money ?

no offence...but i think the correct question is "Can Djinn handle that responsibility? "
coz it aint a 2 man thing u knw...u'll probably need an entire board room full of people to manage sumthing of that magnitude

ha ha...

just a rhetoric thinking...

am sure other distributors like Ingram Micro or Servex will be more than willing to distribute it.

We shall see...

I' be betting Ingram Micro will be the distributor if Malaysia has "officially launch" but I heard there is another company that willing to take in~

and he did come to my shop and talk about bringing in them..
