My friend open 1 at damansara. Everytime I go, colanfirm full house.

RM5/ per hour = 1 controller.
RM10/ per hour = 2 controller.

He said his budjet almost 60k inclusive all the renovation,hardware,rental etc etc.

Total profit per month roughly 6-7k. If organize some event,can get more.

What do guys think. It's a good business? If good, wanna open 1. Who wanna be my business partner?

hmmm, unker still remembers all the cyber cafe (called kafe sihat nowadays for whatever retard reason) used to have ps1 also

what's the rates like for the racing setup?
pretty interested in that

1 hour = RM10.

Why dont just buy a ps4

interesting business idea.
Where you want to open?

not everybody have moneh to buy ps4/ or ps4 is just not on their priority + not everybody got good enough internet connection.

interesting concept.. at least the start up cost is low.. and there is better resell value if the business goes bust compared to other business ventures

It's difficult to get a license. I was thinking ss15 area.that place surrounded by student. whatchu think ?

Console peas!!

I ask my friend to breakdown the cost. the hardware things is pretty cheap for example led TV can get cheap if buy direct from kilang.

but renovation is expensive. and shop rental if not mistaken is 3+1 or 4+1.

seems pretty reasonable
1 round of battle gear = RM3 gone

What kind of license is needed?

Looks like solid idea.

By the way, can ask your friend how much is the set up the racing seat?

depends on location

in a not so affluent neighbourhood this sort of business model can actually work

but also run the risk of rowdy crowd pecah tv/curi console/buat maksiat etc.

good idea to target student area. but ss15 always jam and I believe rental in that area always high.

dun wan to target Shah Alam area?
seksyen 13 got kolej ptpl and msu.
that les copauqe studio area.
seksyen 7 got uitm. but you better invest in security higher.

Alrdy got one. Hitbox or something like that. Ada competition la if u open one

Rm5 per hour...mahal siot....

Buy PS4 = RM1400 not pro type.

Buy 1 game = old RM150 ~ RM 200 / new RM200 ~ RM250

Required = 1 HDTV + internet


Pay RM10 for 2 hrs solo game is enough if your playing fighting game. Adventure game however need to sit at least 2 days ...

it's under entertainment. but he said nowdays it's very hard to get 1 because E-SPORT still not categorized officially yet and Khairy Jamaludin still fight this issue in parlimen. The most easiest way to do this is take over somebody business. i saw 1 in mudah he want to letgo this business @ 24K. here's the link :

gaming lounge to letgo

racing seat is 6k.

if logitech steering wheel can get cheaper. try pm "Whitebox racing simulator", their package started at @3k.

Not to forget parking fees (if applicable) , toll fees to get there (if applicable), gas expenses, wear & tear parts.

I believe most people got monitor nowadays, just hdmi jer.

But in the long run for sure owning one is better.

Profit margin is high as the business nature require only one time setup.

actually these kind of business open got license bo de?

not a gud biz ...
cos ...
high maintenance ..,

some of the player..
will press d controller very hard...
then easy spoilt

hahaha

the feel playing at cc different bro, same apply to pc games

Err... i think the bean bags and sofas are smelly.
How about no?

Suruh buat tournament Overwatch/Paladdin la.

Most online tournie involving these kind of games usually for PC gamers. I know that PC is master race but having a console tournie also wont be harm one. Lagi satu, kalau buat tournie ps4, balik2 Marvelvs Cap, balik2 Tekken, balik2 Gran Turismo. Boring sial.

Agree. happen to my friend. those "Tangan gatal" behavior can bring damage to bean bags. and the cheap bean bag also only long lasting 1-2 months then kempis.hahaha

got. but it's hard to get 1.

6-7k is net or gross profit? Need 2+ years for ROI.

You know it's easy to sweat.
Some guys fatty boom boom sweat like pigs.
Some guys rub the nicotine on the controllers after smoking. The controllers smell like cigarettes.
Yuck, that's gross.

so meaning the current operating 1 is illegal? I remember last time those game need some special permit from the developer 1.. not sure la.. also there is the licensing with the local authority .. it fall under which catergory? internet café

Eww, controller all sweaty with dudes hands

can use sofa cover and wash it weekly and clean the controller with wet wipe
can employ staff to do just that

gross. normally once in a month he do fifa or tekken competition. then can get more.

for sure it's not fall under internet cafe. because internet cafe didnt allowed you to open at 2nd or 3rd floor. if not mistaken,it fall under "menjual permainan/alat video games"

The entertainment license is very hard to get

u apply before ?

5 bucks per controller quite pricy tbh
Both of the shop outside my college is 3 bucks per controller, 6 for 2

maybe should give rebates for those who brings own controller

I see.... so that shop always full of crowded?

macam logic

In the afternoon, starting from lunch break, yeah
If you target students business should be good

Ss15 with taylors and inti students should be a good idea, but there should be competitors there already, plus taylors almost bungkus, so better survey first

setapak,near orange stadium cybercafe. even at late night,got alot of ppl there

Remember to hire bouncers for crowd control.

Later people lose game and start their own street fight like dotards.

Good idea

nice idea
back then i have decent pc, decent internet speed but still go to CC with fren

its like drink teh ais..u can definitely make one & drink at home
but it taste better drink at kedai

Got sell US ver PSN in Maloysia ???

shop at damansara where ?

There is 1 /k interested in such biz
Go search for him in finance forum

damansara mane?

Interested to invest if someone really have a solid business proposal and company/business equity agreement.

one thing i'm curious about is

what do they do with the save files? apparently for games like FFXV you cant have two saves. i borrowed my friend's PS4, we had to replace each other's save file.

if open studio macam ni, players can save game ka?

if not mistaken special members will get psn ID and they can play progressive game. But I think not so many gamers come play this type of game. mostly they play football/racing/fighting games.

bandar sri damansara. i forget the exact location. later i confirmed.

pro is 1388.
just get ps plus and play free gaymes.

those gaymes sometime worth to sedut. last 2 week MGS and shadow of modor free.ok la just to have some varieties.

You can export your save file to a USB drive as well.

http://www.kitamen.my/

this guys seem success with their ps4 studio

agree. i think only gamesbond are their competitor.

your logic much more failed.guess how much fun if u play with your friend ? it's not weather u have ps or not. i have ps too,but play withfriends is much more fun. in fact, how come a place like Kitamen is fully crowded ?

Is it actually legal for them to use the games for commercial purposes without paying additional license fee?

When you buy the games, the clause is its for consumer use and not for commercial use.

The gamesbond owner is my friend..if u wanna plan to do franchise, i can ask him about it

Remind me of the 90s

quite true also.

Yeah.
this concept was not new. it all started back in SEGA and Nintendo console when i still in primary. RM1 /15minute. i still remember playing street fighter zero on PS1 with my friend RM3 /15minute with it just out and hitting the market. the business cool down when cyber cafe blooming when counter strike come out.

gamesbond and kitamen is like adik beradik

luckily our Impulse Gaming don't do the gaming cafe

this is my only concern apart from the local authority licensing.. last time café gaming they need to kasi some fee to the game developer..

i duno why console always mahal gila weii
aku dulu main dekat kedai pun harga sejam 3 kali ganda harga main pc

ppl share stories b4 in PS4 Malaysia Facebook

this one own by lyn forumer

https://www.instagram.com/grizzlygaming.cafe/

probably it is set for arcade game.... adventure game then better buy the console and enjoy at home...what i see here is mostly target student or adult who just want to waste time with peace of mind (since home got baby crying and wifu always marah always babysit the games shj)

overall i think it is a good concept.....

You sure tak ada....

Can always make one sop before giving out to customer to clean it with hand sanitizer.

And provide fnb sure laku and will boost your income.fnb easily 50% untunf

or apply the dondom cover to all ds4. and I think they didnt allowed customer to smoking kot.

Just buy a PS4, can play those fan service game at home. Lagi syok.

interesting
boleh buat loan gov ni

best bro.pastu cari someone yg pandai conduct event. buat fifa 18 da cukop pastu panggil media tlong buat marketing. skang ni kitamen dgn gamesbond je top.kalau kena dengan pengurusan,mesti bole pegi jauh.pegi tekan loan cepat.

This kind of business is femes in kg area, coz people like to hangout with friends, and mostly dont have ps4. But now seems a bit femes becoz of fifa18 just come out, later will be slow, need to organize event frequently

I used to do this kind of business during secondary school back in late 90's, during PS1 era, just in my living room with just one PS1. Can get profit Rm400-500 monthly.

during that time, 400-500 a lot right haha.

Smoking really need to ban lah,because of smelly,hygenic purposes,damage to bean bag/couch or the floor carpet and it will incur higher cleaning fees.

Somehow this idea quite nice,just that need to invest on racing modules etc.

can buy my product 3-1 surface cleaner.

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=4412532&hl=

confirm 100% clean. aviation standard somemore.

racing modules later can add if got extra bucks.

if 10x PS4 , 10x hisense 40*tv, extra ds4 each console, games, furniture, some electrical works, air cond 2hp 3x, renovations, more or less is 35k.

Haha sempat lagi promote. nice one bro.

with proper monitoring can be succeed
usually joystick ka ps4 unit kena stole gg

Agreed, back then when i had a quite decent gaming pc, with good internuts, still go CC to play with frens, 5v5 dota terus, feels very awesome. Play too syok from 10pm until realize its already morning

Macam familiar je kedai ni. Apa nama kedai tu? Dan siapa owner dia?

I have been marshal for fifa tournaments since 2011, so I know a few shop owners. For some, I heard that they can just "cukup makan". But when got big tournament, like last year Malaysia Cyber Games or the annually since 2014 Selangor Cyber Games, they do make a lot of money.

Shops like Gamesbond, in my opinion is doing really well because they sell PS4 (and games and accessories) too.

Are you looking for sleeping partner?

Hahaha noobs.. These sort of business have been running since the 90s.


As kids we used to go play SNES/Famicom games in these types of shops.

I know right. Especially for a secondary student like myself back then.

Pls let me know once u confirm,im also looking for business to come back malaysia for semi retiring.

my advice

do it properly. very discipline.

Make sure u buy insurance, else when no karan that time become like this

they also got backup from astro and redbull

really help a lot.

nice concept... playing at home sorang2 x sama main dgn kawan kat cafe/lounge

interested to become partner here

Location dependent, we had a few here in Penang but all close down already.
Not sure is it the cost too high, console players too few, or location problem.

Buka tepi sekolah. Konfirm full house

normal people dont spend yearly basis...

normally monthly basis..

those picture i took from google only. Oh so u being marshal since 2011?is it easy to conduct fifa event ?
