Curious where you got your unit from, I gotta wait till end of December for mine. Congrats and enjoy your XSX bro!
I grew up with a mindset that Japanese engineering is far superior than anything else on the market. Sony as a brand was cemented as some godlike engineering monolith in my mind.

Let's see how my PS5 holds up later. Perhaps I gotta change my mindset and get with the times.

Okay now we are on this topic, I have a burning question to ask -

Would you rather buy a wireless gaming headphones that is XBOX optimized, or just use your standard headphones with Dolby Atmos for Headphones?

I’m on the fence to fully experience this, although the standard headphones requires a 3.5mm connection, which means if I watch a movie / show on Netflix, my controller has to be ‘on me’. But are these ‘gaming headphones’ really worth it?

would malaysia credit card works on microsoft store ?
thanks

Yes you can, on the Xbox console it self.
i use Citibank with paypal, so far no issue yet since 2007.

Are you buying those games through paypal? on xbox console? i know some of the earlier OG Xbox & 360 games have region lock.

yeah on PC it will detect our region, hence the payment wont go through. same as PSN US wallet cannot accept local CC.
that sounds about correct, the region lock comes in 3 parts back in 360 days, payment, start of download 1% & some games at the end of download 99% (COD). As long as you have the gift card it means you have the region currency so buying is not an issue, now on Xbox One the console it self is region free so the region lock for downloading may have not exist.

Back then we had to use a PC with 2 lan port, setup internet connect sharing, connect VPN to get pass all that, because free VPN has limited bandwidth most ppl would just start download at 2% disconnect VPN, then connect back at 98% to complete the download, if you miss this step you have to redo it again. I still remember GH (Jason) helped me with COD zombie dlc download FOC.

i believe many malaysian started with modded 360, its probably GH that introduce unmodded 360, my unit was bought from them in 2007-2008 i think?

i bought my xbox360 unmodded too from GH, that time their shop is in cineleisure. Was sold on gears of war, damn good game to play and split screen coop with my fren lol.

I guess during that time, only a handful of ‘genuine’ gamer shops were around, at that time many were smaller independent business.

Time changed, most businesses emerged with better service and competitive pricing and digitalization also contributed to the shift of behavior as well. GH grew greedy, they knew they were the most popular shop around due to # of outlets = better reach for the audience, but they forgotten the most crucial element of running a business, service.

This is a good lesson for GH, to not take their customers for suckers. But then again, GH will survive, Malaysians are fickle. One darn effective promotion and all is forgotten.  For me, enough is enough - cancelled my PO for Series X with them.

For now, I no longer wanna stress out over not getting the console before Xmas because I still have a console to play, will continue my FIFA FUT addiction until I get the Series X and move on 

Lol .. good old time during 360 era XD

I cant recall what's the shop name i bought my first modded 360 already during ... 2007 ?

It was located in the Berjaya time square 4th floor if not wrong.
Then after i start work, convert to PS3 genuine.

But still bought Xbox 360 unmod years later together with Kinect which still working good until now

You're making me nostalgic for their old days.  I used to go in lots to talk to Jason and Ed during the 360 era and they would always make time for me.  I was quite a big customer then and they used to bring in everything.  They have done quite a lot for the community in the past - like organising community events and high profile launches, that creates buzz which is great for gaming in general.

When their curve branch closed down and they moved to the bigger malls, it became more difficult to visit the shop as often as i would like.  For one the parking at the curve was much better than 1U.  With all their different branches, i rarely saw them and in the xbox one era i went mostly digital and with the terrible stock for xbox at retail, i had even less reason to go visit GH. 

Having said that I don't blame them for pushing a bundle.  If it's good value, then people will buy.  After all, the PS5 is not exclusive from Gamers Hideout.  But ihe bundle just looks like bad value with awful 3rd party trash.  I thought the choice for the consumer would be, if it's bad value then don't buy from them and go to another retailer.  Not buy from them and complain that you are getting bad value.

I actually got the new mario game and watch as a Christmas present from my wife.  She bought it from impulse - i think their advertised price was RM500 for a maxsoft set for something that costs USD50RRP.  It's not something i would have bought for myself but I'm still annoyed with the price gouging on that.

this doesnt look like scalper, more like scammer to me 

My local game store quote me rm3999 for set coming from Europe 😅😅 I guess sarawak is worse than Indonesia.

I actually prefer the old triggers, dont really like the textured feel

The D-pad are miles better though

GH open sell for series s, and series X coming soon, i tot they got PO last time? did they fullfill? or they cancel previous PO now become scalper pricing?

so when u PO the price if i not wrong is 1499 for XSS and XSX is 2199 right? Seems like now they up'ed the price.. Or when PO they no firm u the price?

Don’t know about you guys but if you’ve bought a new console or controller lately, do you encounter sticky ‘A’ button?

I noticed this on 2 of my new controllers, seems like a consistent problem - check on reddit as well.

I had the issue with my Xbox One controller and my new Elite 2 controller.

I’m not sure if the issue persists with the new Series controller thou, you might wanna test it out at a certain angle once you have it.

Ah bummer, can’t use a wired because I’m playing from a TV.

I heard good stuff from the Wolverine 2 as well.
Initially when I didn’t notice it as well, until I search on Reddit. Seems like a widespread issue.

It has something to do with the adhesive used internally that ‘might’ leak to where the A button is placed. Funny thou.

Go try Ori 2?
