I’m actually leaning towards the Xbox Series X this time round, mainly due to the design and also the ‘performance on paper’.

Just wondering, would it be a pain to get AAA titles from our local store or its better to get the digital version instead? Most of our local stores only carry Playstation games, quite a bummer.

I always bought my Xbox One X games when Amazon did massive discounts on their site. Can't rely that much on local shops as sometimes once sold out they won't carry the games anymore.
Still generally more expensive than local PS counterparts.

You really trust this shop warranty thing? Demand the shop to send back to where it came from instead of fixing it by themselves. After all most of them already got so much profits out of these imported units. Hence why some shops only dare to give only 3 months warranty for the imported sets.

I just did the Game Pass Ultimate trick from Xbox Live conversion, never thought it would work since most of the feedbacks I found online were back in 2020.

I got 26 months from Xbox Live, with the auto recurring off after each code claimed, plus another 3 months from converting to GPU for $1. Total 29 months yo. Damn worth it. drool.gif

Seeing all the games on Game Pass plus with EA Pass games, that's like thousand of hours of gaming. laugh.gif

And seeing those Shopee sellers charging at RM180 to RM200++ per annum of GPU subscription, thats easily RM50-100 profit margin. And all you need to do is a bit of reading to save up the money.

Believe or not. they are giving me warranty. That's great. Better than none or that 3 months. I already bought xbox 3 times d. X360, xone and now xsx. I dont care about warranty actually. Coz my prev xbox also like no warranty too. Yet both console still working great until now.

Anyway i bought here and now they increased the price to rm3099. LOL

That guy selling SG set at RM3099. JP set is RM100 cheaper. It will be around these prices but between JP & SG better take the SG one imo if its below RM3k. Anyway enjoy your SX.

On another note, the disc drive spins like a jet if I put my SX vertically. I've tested horizontally it makes no sound.

Mate, that’s an unfair judgement.

I am a fellow Japan set owner since mid Dec-20 and I don’t face any issues like you are facing.

Microsoft themselves are famous for screwing up with their accessories, especially the controllers - similar to my Elite 2 controller - I have RMA it 3 times, bought in December and I still have yet to own it for more than 2 weeks because it kept going back to the seller to RMA. Would I tell people not to buy the Elite 2 because of my experience? No.

If you are referring to radio interference from wifi channels causing issues with your console, now that’s news to me. It does cause interference on some XBOX Accessories because most Bluetooth devices will have clashing radio / frequency band - hence why it is recommended to use XBOX’s proprietary wireless 2.4Ghz band instead.

You might want to hard-reset the controller and see if it still persists. Also, try with another controller to see if it’s really a faulty controller.

The HDMI issue could be caused by static / loose ports, perhaps try switching out the cable and see if it still persists - in no way the above reasons are deterrent to people buying XBOX regardless of which country it comes from.

Just my 2 cents.

What's wrong with your Elite 2 controller BTW?

Impulse one is EU set with 3 months warranty. SG set you can get below RM3000 usually comes with 1-year warranty. If you ask me better go for the SG set for a better peace of mind.

Dear friends, Any possibility to get stock from Qisahn..
Very hard for gamers looking for upgrade nowadays.

Xbox series X is hard,
GPU is hard. (I would love to get a 3060TI at MSRP) but it looks like, All sellers are selling at inflated price. For profit.

I am even thinking to get a Xbox One X just to fullfill my need.. or do you think it is better to get a Series S (resolution is abit low for newer games)?

The console manufacturer should not launch their new stuff if they cannot fullfill theier demand.

Same for GPU paper launch. Nvidia GeForce Lazada official store has every normal priced GPU out of stock.

Xbox One X is more than enough. I would choose Xbox One X over the Series S. Technically you'll get more power albeit a slow loading time. But what is slow? The difference between 15sec and 1minutes++ loading times imo is too vague to justify the higher price of Series S. Try to find a used Xbox One X if you really wanna start Xboxing. For example certain games like RDR2 runs 4K native @30fps on X1X than on Series S.

You can see a lot of options of people selling their Series S on Carousell at new price. Regret maybe and trying to minimise losses? Lel.

FH5 is damn gorgeous. And what's good is it is considered FOC on Game Pass. Cant believe they would include it on Day One on GP. Now wondering whether the Premium Add-Ons is worth it or not.

I haven't gone there for a while. But the game shop at Cineleisure sold the TX regularly. Now the TX has been replaced with the TX leather edition. It's literally the same as mine though. Only the steering wheel has been updated.

Ban Leong carries them. Try checking with them if you're interested.

Already contacted them. No stocks. They never really update their site apparently.
