I don't know what is the so-called killing-off-the-competition you mention.
*Pasar Malam thread started by me & New Era SDN BHD used to be there but they stop bringing in Xbox games and thus, it was removed.

The last time i checked, i was just defending the complain made by people that is not true & based on their personal preference.
I see anything that benefits the community, i will support it. I see a shop that do 100% ori, i will support it more.I see unfair complain, i standout and talk about it. What's so wrong about it? Lets not kid ourselves, you were directing at GH. I am not afraid to point out the obvious because a problem is a problem.
dude, thats an ad. as simple as that.
do you remember when i quoted that i got my FM2 LE at rm160+,instead of people ordering the same exact same thing at rm190? remeber how you rose to the occassion and said djin's shop dont sell pirated stuff, need to support since they did consul bla bla bla...remember? we both have rights to post something that is not illegal,but why did you said i was braggin around with my purchase? i simply offered alternative to the gamers there. 160 and 190. u do the math. is it ori? Yes.Is it the same package?Yes. So?is it so hard to admit and see other people got the same thing for less? Is it? I didnt even mention the gameshop that i bought it from as i am being curteous, since i see the same face taking preorder there, so i was thinking not to spoil the business. and the first bolded sentence, ARe YOU SURE JOHN? 100% ORI? icon_idea.gif and the second bolded sentence, I bash any unfair prices, regardless from where its from. GH, bernard, whatever.any direct hit from me to GH? but then again, if the shoe fits... whistling.gif

QUOTE
I believe nobody bash anything until you start with this which was once brought up @ consoul thread by others. So...who started it? Now you know why it always end up a flame war when you post in xbox subforum? I believe i treated you fair & square the first time too at the guitar hero thread.

i was stating the truth. and i got a response.flame me i dont care, its not like i depend on this forum for rice whistling.gif if you are even active in PS section, you would know the history of RM210 modhcip from China, and how it becase only RM100 today, (that is also waay to expensive) you dont know? I dont mean to brag, but i was one of the Pioneers in PSClinic section. how many problems that we have solved because of sony's shoddy worksmanship, problems that if you go to a shop they will just charge you 50 bucks. little do they know, it can be done using a screwdriver, in 5 mins.so inshort, i know what i am talking and posting about. its people who are afraid of the truth that complains. rest of the community? they choose to keep silent, but they know who is right wink.gif

QUOTE
If some party trying to paint your shop as having "agenda", what will you do with that accusation? So i think it's not about GH afraid of criticism or comment, it has more to do with people having personal agenda doing damage or taking side.
Even myself as GH friend, i do complain to them from time to time because i am also a consumer myself.
So next time before you think it's others who always look for trouble, maybe it isn't so. Sometimes, the forum can be really peaceful if we don't bring up sensitive issues.

what do you mean by sensitive John?the truth?what agenda i can have with GH? they didnt cheat me (obviously since i always study before any purchase), in fact, i think during consul time, that was the longest time spent NEAR GH. come on John, i have more things to worry about than videogames. its good this thread is here, if you know what i mean wink.gif

QUOTE
That is true & that is exactly what i am saying. You do know that 70% of your point were indirectly supporting my point all along? Just like the explanation given by you regarding xclamp repair. You are in the same shoe as GH.

Nope. GH have obligation to do the xclamps to the customers, I dont. DIY, Pay, up to gamers. if confident enuff, DIY.nobody stopping them. Not confident, sent to people, not necassarily me. a lot of people can do it. nod.gif


QUOTE
@bold sentence : Are you sure? Most of the shop, trading in console or games, claiming for warranty etc etc does involve checking. (at least that's the way in UK)
Since you bring up the official warranty in the states, well...did you notice you contradict yourself again. In the states, shop do Oris only. Still, the least they do check the console whether the warranty has been void. Given that you are extreme modders, i do not think the point you want to make is Malaysia market should go all-oris only? Modded console can't claim for warranty...

Very sure. Why? Because I read. and i have few pals in the states as well. do you know they even take psps INSIDE THE BOX (without even opening it first)

QUOTE
So, what's your disatisfaction with GH or possibly even me. You can surely bring it up other than the price point because you already understand why is the need for that price since you understand the 7-11 scenario. You know me, i am kepo, can't be 100% unbias (but trying to be rational) & all things xbox. If you think there is anything wrong on my part you can surely bring it up because i do take feedback seriously.  (first thing i did wrong is going OT here, so if you wish to you can post one more time here then the rest, you can resolve with me via PM or anyone related.)

like i said, i have no personal agendas. what i am not satisfied with, i will post in the forums DIRECTLY, no hypocracy here. i am only promoting cheaper original solutions for the gamers. I dont care wether they like it or not, because i am a gamer, i want to play with a lot of people. But personally John, you are a moderator, you are supposed to be unbiased, not taking sides. I think you know this. I am too a moderator in another forum,http://www.console-exploits.com/forums/ (formerly was ps2hd.com, an international forum) so i know what and how mods supposed to be. Being a mod is more than locking and editing threads,that, i leave you to think about it. Truth is truth. Sooner or later people will know. nod.gif


I've made my points regarding warranty issues and I'm addressing this warranty issues to all the shops here in Malaysia (not only on a particular shop). I stand on my opinion and if others have their own then it's up to them.

We are free to express what our feelings are. If anyone is satisfied to a particular shop so be it.

The main topic of this thread is to make price comparison between KL and Singapore (JB can be included). I found that PS3 price selling at JB is way more cheaper than here. I'm getting one so I must seek the best price for it. I've been offered from RM1780 - RM1850 here and I found that in JB PS3s are selling at RM1500 - RM1750. 3 of my friends are also interested on getting one.

So if 4 of us can go there and buy from there, it's really a cost saving for us. The expenses can be divided into 4 of us (the max cost will be RM200), so divided by 4, each of us only will fork out extra RM50. Time is not a factor here, money is.

Since one of the forumer brought up the warranty issue, I've expressed what was in my mind. So it's not really an issue for me and my other friends.

So I challenge any shops here in KL that can give the same price as JB. So stop whining about any shop being defamed and start selling things at a reasonable price.

Cheerios....have a nice weekend folks.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but here is an important fact that i think some people missed out.

The GH warranty is the only one in Malaysia where you can get a straight swap from Microsoft Singapore if your 360 breaks down. But yes, you'll have to pay the shipping fees to GH for them to send it back to Singapore.

Some will say that you can do the same thing if you register the console yourself, call the hotline, drive down to singapore bla bla, but the point is that you don't have to with GH since their stocks are direct from the official distributor in Singapore. No hassle. No need for x-clamp repairs too.

Whether this warranty is worth it or not, its up to you to decide.

This i need to reply because it involves- Rules & Regulation.

I am not sure what kinda truth you mean, unless you mean posting anything about playing backup? (thus the nuke of your previous sig?) If that's the case, then i do not need to guide you on this. This is not ps2hd.com, this is lowyat.neta & xbox sub is under my jurisdiction. If people are looking for "other type of information" they can always look elsewhere and you can have my word - nobody will care or kacau you.
That's the sensitive issues & why you always get fire from other forumer. Before that, it was pretty peaceful if i must say so myself & no matter which "side" people are on, they can co-exist with each other just fine & it's all about games.
PS : have you ever think why i nuke your previous sig and not this one?

QUOTE

I don't think GH is obligate for xclamp repair but they do have that option available smile.gif . Like i said,
the Forza 2 incident you also know why it happens - the origin. People been discussing the price of game openly way before you were even active in xbox subforum and there was never any problem, you can even see a few sarcastic post down there. Pasar Malam thread is the best example to reinforce that, with choices given to people and there is no monopoly. If you see any, point it out please.

I don't know what to say anymore. You seems to understand the xclamp reference i am making & you do concur with my statement indirectly but here, you always contradict yourself. (that's why i comment about the xclamp fee to see your response. Surprisingly, you were in the same situation as GH)
Perhaps we are on different side thus the never-ending debate. (can't deny that, you are more towards modded and i am more towards ori) If then, i rest my case.

dude, that shoot first questions later always fail.

put down your gun... the truth i meant was..THEY ARE CHEAPER ORIGINAL GAMES THAT ARE AVALIABLE IN THIS FORUM whats the connection about the sig, bla bla bla...honk honk.

thats another story,i thought we are talking about consumerism here laugh.gif
(although i do have 7 original titles, not 100%, but at least i am trying, you know lar, my parents dont give me money anymore, i am giving to them smile.gif )

[queue]cheaper original games from the MAINSTREAM CHOICE[/queue]Thats why comprehension is important. Delete my sig? I dont care, sometimes, for certain people its this little-little things that we think we can control that makes us feels good. Go on, knock yourself up l laugh.gif

for the bolded sentence:
OMG, what do you think this 3 pages of thread all about? laugh.gif

i was never out of topic, i was giving information regarding a CHEAPER PRICE THAT I FOUND. other than that, all direct response from forummers regarding the price (regrets perhaps)
anything wrong in the uber RULZ and REGULATIONZ? If there is, pls, do point it out to me. nod.gif

I am not a shop owner, i dont tell sugar coated stories to the forummers.I live in the real, cold, brutal world, no pink bunnies, no unicorns. I dont sell things that i give warranty, GH does. It supposed to have after sales service,u know..like..er...a..shop?so if i bought a console that fcuks up after like 3,4 weeks..i dont care how GH do it, they have to make sure i will be gaming again, free.Xclamps, return to Sg, i dont care. warranty is warranty. I send my console, i get it back in perfect condition. Play. happy.=GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE. personally i dont mind paying a bit more IF the customer service is good, that means no cheating, no hidden cost bla bla bla.

I think i have presented a very good argument here (thanks for the support, you guys know who you are)like it or not, people are waking up, realizing that are shoppers selling ORI games at lower price.The time of enlighment is upon us thanks for the chat. i am confident the readers here have the maturity and the intelligence to carefully dissect and analize my points and arguments.

Its nice to fight my on war without proxies, means i do know what the hell i m arguing about rolleyes.gif

Erm tot31, apa nih? Rasa dah mmg cukup clear, 3 months warranty GH cover and 1 year warranty by MS S'pore. GH is the middleman. Takkan nak expect GH bayo courier charges when the warranty is originally for S'poreans. Kalo console tu officially launch kat sini bole la bising, but it's not. Kalo nak sume kedai sini bayo courier charges tu, confirm la bungkus kedai tu weh. sweat.gif

According to the Kastam rules, yes you do. From my sources, it can be up to 21% of the perceived value. That is someone decides to check your baggage at the bus terminal or airport. But then again, you might not be checked at the checkpoint, so you don't have to pay the tax. There is a risk involved here so its up to you whether you want to buy from Singapore or not.

and it comes with games and extra controller, it cums to the same, no point to buy it cheaper and come all the way down, unless u frequent SG, or stay in jaybee

hk ps3 unit in jaybeei heard selling for rm 1.5k nia

QUOTE(tot31 @ Jun 12 2007, 12:00 PM)
I think it's worth it to go down there to get a PS3, if it's really selling at RM1.5k. Here in KL the cheapest is RM1850 just the console without any games. Toll and petrol will only cost around RM200 to and fro, still save RM150. If go with friends can share the toll and petrol, can even save more...

woo...sure or not didn't know tat ps3 selling so cheap in JB...hehe never notice cos i dont watch blueray movie tongue.gif ...maybe i can buy some and sell in KL, 1 unit can earn rm300 leh icon_idea.gif

my advise dont come to JB ...pirates heaven ...pirates everywhere nowadays, on the road, in front your house...everywhere. icon_question.gif icon_question.gif

talking abt Singapore, considered currently the Ringgit Malaysia vs SGD exchange rate, you can save more if u buy from s'pore now rclxms.gif ....but not sure why some shop in M'sia tends to sell more expensive recently? sweat.gif

afaik xb360 games standard price in SG is SGD69.9. LE >= SGD74.9
