BEFORE VOTING READ THIS TO CLEAR EVERYTHING UP

- This poll is about Xbox Live NOT the launch of the Xbox 360 itself. Who wouldn't want the 360 to be official? Surely no one would say no to easier warranty claims right? Therefore assuming Xbox 360 is already launched here, would you want official Xbox Live?

- What I mean is Xbox Live itself, where you can set your region to Malaysia, and have Malaysia-exclusive content, tehbotol excel energy drink adverts, video content that knowing the government, the content probably suck due to various censorships. Think about it, knowing the government here do you think MS points will be cheaper? Who knows, they might be, they might not be. Have a good think about it before voting. And also most importantly, MORE TRASHTALKERS LIKE EFFRET EPALMERAH WILL COME

Of course!!!! We can have a bigger community of XBOX fans then!

xbox live is available anywhere as long as u have internet connection, look at what we're on crack . as for official launch, doesnt that mean that there must be a physical location in malaysia that will handle the sales, warranty n stuff?

Actually I would like to vote No for different reasons. Seriously, such a thing could be a double edged sword.

For one, contents for Malaysia could be seriously limited. The Censorship board would want to look at whats available etc

Secondly, Microsoft could just say, "Now they will be happy with Live, maybe we dont need to launch the 360 here". They could take the stance of giving you Live and hope that you are happy that they never launch the 360 officially here.

The positive side could be that Microsoft will finally be able to actually see how many XBOX gamers are there in Malaysia actually. Not to say they cant do it now, just that it needs a lil more work.

So yeah, I feel the poll is a bit too restricting. I would prefer to see the launch of the 360 in Malaysia. Then we can get Live and official support over here.

I think it's pretty safe to say that MS Malaysia will either launch the 360 here with Live, or not at all. It'd be foolish to only launch Live only. It doesn't make sense.

yeah... if you have here live you sure have the official office support here...
then everything will be much at ease for us...

i wanted to vote, but there wasn't a "HELL F'N YEAH" button, so i voted "NO".

yea rite..

btw, leenaz: XD is an emoticon symbol. symbolizes someone extremely happy till they close their eyes similar to what is seen when someone is having an orgasm or when they shit out bricks (only when shitting out bricks it should technically be X~~O )

oooo

if you asked me, the real question is when they gonna launch the 360 officially. like marauderz has said, it doesnt make sense for msoft to just launch Live here without the console.

so what im saying is that this thread is a bit irrelevant.




PS: anyways, msoft MY is on to the things happening with the local 360 scene. i know that for a fact.

several "key" malaysian and regional 360 folks have been snooping around town, especially around GH. is this a sign that we're close to an official launch?

dont ask me because i dont have the answer.




PPS: go bug marauderz for the answer instead!

^wah, sounds interesting, maybe the team conducting "feasibility study" at GH. or maybe they were there to buy crackdown for their halo3 beta

local 2008 launch coming sooner than we think?

i don't think that MS will do it - unless we eliminate all the pirates or at least contained the situation ( like what they are doing in KL right now )...

well s/w piracy is always a controllable/containable problem. ofcos, the cost of policing/ containing it is not cheap or always feasible.

LoL, even bill gates will shake in his boots if all of china goes open source and legit instead of being infested with pirated windows, LoL.

never say never. the 360 is in india and india is not exactly a pirate free market.

a guesstimation article abt xbox india

http://www.gameguru.in/features/2007/19/sa...the-real-story/

xboxlive india is still pending (lousy infrastructure)

^ i think their main problem is electronics (videogames) taxes and the fact they got roped in PAL terrotories - i.e. games are expensive. not sure how games are locaized there, i'm guessing English only?

compare to india or singapore, our local community is doing better than expected. within days of crackdown release, the mygamercard.net tracking SGP gamertags show a sizeable M'sian contigent. haha, all hope is not lost

Vote here if you haven't

i'd like to see xbox live officially available in msia soon , would be a great new to all xbox gamer.

There's nothing wrong with launching X360 without locally base Xbox Live. It happens in Columbia and Brazil.

I wouldn't be surprise if they launch Xbox Live without official launch of X360 for in coming months a few "Game for Windows" running on pc will support Xbox Live.

yeah there is the possibility....

Just last week a little bird from M$ m'sia told me there's some big shot from a big big local chain retail store are interested to carry the X360, wanted to become the official launcher here.
Now they still nego with M$, and nothing solid yet. But if the deal really goes thru, EVERYONE CAN AFFORD A X360!!!

why I say everyone can afford a X360 if they succeeded?
hint: the retail store can be found in almost every state, in almost every major town. Shop color are Yellow and Blue.

That's all I know... and don't ask me for further info... I got to know this because of the slip of the tongue from the little bird

Not April Fools Joke right??

Yellow And Blue? Every state, oh god.. courts mamooth... sigh...

Courts Mammoth,realli going to sell the console ar..dat's good i guess..

Courts Singapore also same company rite?

This post has been edited by Eisenmeteor: Mar 26 2007, 05:01 PM

Wei Ikea also yellow and blue what....

Then again there are alot of mamak stalls who use yellow and blue...

MYDIN wei!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Good one ...maybe...

digi??

Maybe the swedish dudes/dudettes lost their interest on the Xbox 360

Ikea or MyDin doesn't have a store in every state right?

so? we going to camp out at courts M?

wonder what installment plans and extended warranty plans they will sell

dont think so msia will ever give free hdtv to first 100 owners lah...

guys... it's still at negotiation state only... nothing concrete yet
but I'm crossing me fingers hoping it will go thru....
imagine, getting a X360 tanpa cengkeram and with installment
and no worries about 3ROD
if M$ are manage to sell the X360 like this, they are really gonna kick $ony ass in M'sia

Hmmm. Never liked Courts Mammoth - they usually make buyers pay MORE after installments than with just the 0% installment package Credit Card companies offer.

But we shall wait and see...

anyway... it's a good thing if everyone can afford a X360 thru the installment plan, even if at the end of the day the total price are slightly higher.
Same with paying the so called credit card 0% installment plan, you still need to pay extras like the 3%-5% credit charges as most of the shop won't absorb it, plus the processing fee for the 0% installment plan, which can be from RM50 - RM120, depending on which CC you're using.

This post has been edited by greyshadow: Mar 27 2007, 09:51 AM

ha... process fees is the 3-5% la..
duno la... but i'm hoping for the 360 to arrive to our shores...
coz then no need to so troublesome to get warranty from MS in SG

OT I know but,

I've never been charged the RM 50 - RM 120 processing fee, so maybe you can PM me in what situation this happens? I've bought stuff using 0% before with various CC and it's always as they say - 0%...but then again I stick to HSL or Best Denki which don't even charge the 3-5%...

as far as i know....
only Std Chartered charge RM30 processing fee for every 0% installment plan...

...and the 3% charges is usually bank charges for CC transaction...

and big chain store usually dont charge customer for CC transaction..

ya lo... well S.Charted ok la.. RM30 only nia...
i duno y ppl say there are still more charges after the processing fees...
i think they all kena con liao...
all standard isn't it... certain amount or 3%-5%... that one only nia...

OT again...
Errmmm... dunno leh... last time I was charged RM60 for the 0% installment plan as the so called processing/application fees thingy, was buying from SENQ... using HongLeong card
There's once I also kena RM30 or something like that when buying from a furniture shop, using Citibank.

lets start speculating what game will be launch together. what rating is Assasin's Creed? if it is not too violent, it'll be a perfect for a Malaysia launch, no? or maybe something family friendly like V.Pinata?

viva pinata??
never heard b4

Free lifetime Live! Gold membership!!!

(PS: you'll have to give your butthole to Bill Gates first )

*bumps for newbies to vote too*

my father being cheated once at courts mammoth. want to buy a washing machine. price was very cheap if compared to other store. but when at check out my father ask about warranty and the sales person said he had to add another amount of money so that he can get official warranty. at the end of the day, the price will be the same. so, here my example based on my father's experience if x360 sold in malaysia by courts mammoth.

PROMOTION!! Xbox 360 cheapest in this region: RM1100 only at courts mammoth.

but got very very tiny asterisk near the sentence. have to add another RM500 for warranty. the price is the same coz who the heck want a x360 without official warranty (for me la....dont know u guys)

hehee. just example only la ekk...but based on true story.

For 100 bucks, I will take it without warranty.

*bumps topic*

Why we can't do like this?
Have to try

...wasn't South Africa already official? I thought JudgeTHE is on SA local?

Well they say their numbers are several thousands...

To be honest, having XBOX Live would be pretty great if it's official for Malaysia. No more snooping around, piggy backing off our Singaporean neighbours, etc. But it still wouldn't solve the XBOX issues we're having right now.

They're all rather inter related. Having to register using Singapore address (we're going to run out of them eventually). Then having to call up Microsoft support with that Singapore address from within Singapore itself. Going hundreds of km to Singapore just to exchange the console. With the 3ROD problem, it could be a hundred times in the console's life cycle.

The snooping around, the hiding, etc. It reminds me of the time I was courting my wife. Hiding from the parents, waiting a block down the road for her, etc.

If it's going to happen, it needs to be either an official XBOX 360 launch along with the XBOX Live or nothing at all. Having some extra content and being able to download themes isn't high on my list if there's so many other issues, etc. I doubt Microsoft is interested in launching one without the other anyway.

Regarding the piracy, I don't think it's a problem. It's not as though Microsoft doesn't have other vested interest in the country. They are bringing in their whole catalogue of softwares, etc. What's a few games? If they didn't have a foothold in this country then I would say it'll be a problem with extra cost, etc but I don't think this could be a problem.

If we have XBOX 360 and XBOX Live officially in this place, games would be a tad bit cheaper (since they'll be bringing it in bulk). I'm not sure about other content online, but the games will definitely be a little bit cheaper. Hell, things go well enough Malaysia would be a cheaper option to actually mass produce those games. Singapore will have to start getting it from us instead.

All in all, many things that could happen. Would be great if they supported the gamers here by releasing it live. They could at least make an attempt to support the gamers here by getting everything official. With the 3ROD problem, establishing a service center, or at least a place that accepts local consoles would be great enough so we don't have to travel all the way to Singapore to do it.

Meh, stop dreaming. MS hates us Malaysians.

We need to do a petition for LIVE

i tot we did long time ago? with loads of piracy goin on.. i dnt think ms wld agree.. yet..

All you newbies can vote.

yeah...local made content would be nice...can download form marketplace...

I voted yes.

On the Censorship issue i agree with you.
We Xboxer should think twice if we really get to choose.

Malaysia Censorship authority is one of the dumbest.
Once they get their hand into Live or Wiiware we are in serious shit,
they might ban content based on their dumb "discretion".

You know..... Super Mario 3 might be ban because "Pricess Peach clothing is too revealing",
or GoW 2 DLC might be banned because it "incite hatred between different races" (Make sense, Locust vs Human).

If we Xboxers protest any censorship decision,
Utusan might run a series of report labeling us "communists" or "Terrorists" etc etc...

Maybe leaving us alone is a better choice.

SUPER THREAD RESURRECT!!

Dude, why the hell the thread pop out back?

The newbies keep coming so why not?

Besides, the bumper made a very good point.

if it happens it'll happen. so forget about wasting time on polls that have no effect

yeap..agreed..not a good idea if its under the control of malaysia censorship..an official launch of xbox 360 and the support in Malaysia is good enough for users here

This poll shows public opinion, as it is intended to do.

^

Where is him?

Sleeping in the living room.

You know if you think about it,there won't really be much of a difference if XBox Live was official in Malaysia.
Service would be probably about the same...

It would be much better if the XBox 360 just officially launched here,then we would get full support from Microsoft.

If XBL was official, the content that would be available to users located in Malaysia would be restricted by the Malaysian censorship board.

In other words, most of everything wouldn't be available.
