like how it was just a few weeks back? probably RM1.3 for the black ps3 smile.gif

no way I'm gonna buy an overpriced item just because a big game came out.. I just hope bernard and the rest won't do the same.

whoaa now local price really increasing, even in our LYN gameshops. I just got a quote of RM1.4k shocking.gif

what do you guys think is the cause?

SG currency going up? GTA IV? supply-demand?

if I'm going to get here, I'll wait until GTA IV fever dies down, but before MGS 4 fever goes up. probably mid-May or so. or else, SG will be my last resort (if the conversion rate doesn't somehow go up exponentially)

i got mine today 1400 40gb+ds3 (japan)...silver X summit...

that's about RM150 cheaper than what the guys are selling here.. serious? what's the package? I think can only get that package if I trade the Sixaxis with the DS3, which no seller seems to want to do it.

the cheapest Japan set I've seen is RM1.3k brand new.. so I don't think the DS3 is only RM100. what about warranty?

that's why I purposely don't want a Jap set.. at least SG is nearer for the suppliers to claim warranty, need to wait less.

before you simply talk out of your ass and say it's okay to expose kids to GTA4 and how Malaysia is backward in terms of thinking or what..

1) bear in mind that the Americans, Europeans and Japs have ratings and they enforce it. nobody below the age rating is allowed to purchase the game even if they have the money. Malaysia doesn't have that. so, you still say our thinking is backwards?

2) think about how you want your kids to be instead of simply okaying the idea of other people's kids playing violent or hentai games. sure, I was playing Doom at 5 years old, but shooting aliens with a mute marine is very tame compared to being allowed to visit strip clubs, patronize hookers, go against pretty much all the laws available, seeing your hero curse and say I love big American t*tties.. and the list goes on.

Actually iam buying the same set as fizyboy here. Its rm1330 here in Indonesia and i might get it for less if i manage to reduce the price with the shopowner. Iam getting ps3+sixaxis with no game. Is it worth it?

I think not.. I reformatted mine and it didn't ask me to re-input date and time smile.gif

I think what snipersnake suggested was an almost sure-fire way to identify whether anyone has tinkered with your PS3 or not.

Any recommendations around Pyramid, Summit Subang Jaya or Subang Parade?

Summit is generally ok, but you have to scout around for the best deal. I'm also from Subang smile.gif

BTW why don't you get from Bernard (Gamer's Solution). He can deliver to your house. Saved me a lot of time and probably quite a sum of money as well if I were to go to Summit and scout around.
