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

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

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.

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.
