after a good year saving up, I FINALLY booked one unit tonight, hopefully all goes well tomorrow when I come to pick it up smile.gif Time flies! I can still remember the day I refreshed my webpage to read the live coverage of the ps3 unveling by sony in E3.

Here's a late bday.gif to the Playstation 3, and a great 2008 with Metal Gear Solid 4 and 5, LittleBigPlanet, God Of War 4, Final Fantasy 14 and many other great titles to come. cheers.gif wish.gif

1.3k is quite reasonable since that's the price of a high end graphic card on pc now. All I can advice is keep saving up, take opportunity to do odd jobs, make financial sacrifices here and there. Stop buying magazines and read them online, cut down on shopping mall outings or movies, little things like that goes a long way and you'll be surprised how much u can save. Oh and try quit smoking if u do, smoking is a real money sink.

unmodded or no you will still have the same, if not higher, chances of getting the three rings of death.

The post you entered in was too short. You must have at least 10 character(s) in your post before it will get posted.

comment endorsed. It may be hard to get to the shop with the traffic and all, but the shop more than makes it up in terms of service and price.

Yep...I felt like I was imposing on them...so ended up buying my ps3 and games from Bernard. I guess they cater more to 360... dry.gif

lol yeah well I went there to consider buying but my enthusiasm dropped somewhat when someone there was explaining about his PS3 stock while pushing the box of the PS3 unit with his leg that I was considering to buy. Not very tactful lol! Also, for a shop that has 360 consoles at the back displayed like demo units they weren't very eager to let people play the units.

one thing I experienced first hand with sg. wang shops is that they charge prices according to your appearance. The dude which sold me psp charged me RM 650, but while he was wrapping my unit, a foreigner came and asked for the price, he replied RM 750 without blinking.

Even though I got the price for RM 650, he tried very hard to make me buy other stuff as well until it got annoying.

console oni or full package??

RM 650 was old old price, that time slim unit also not yet released. console with charger, as well as USB cable. That time there was no such thing as custom firmware, it was the time when devhook reigned supreme, a time when 1.5 firmware psp costs RM 1k plus and no firmware downgrade was available.

they just giving out false hope lol. if they ever are going to launch maybe next year or in the final quarter of this fiscal year. Don't expect it to be cheap. PSN card also not yet out.

One of the core components of the Playstation 3 is the online component.If they intend to sell in malaysia they would have to make a malaysian Playstation Network Online Store or at the very least make singapore able to accept malaysian ringgit as payment.

Will setting up that be simple?

If sony were selling it here officially right now, I want to hear their explanation for not having malaysian PSN online store and no malaysian PSN ID account. That is a core component of the PS3 and we should have it if they were to sell here officially.

mini poli station 3 lol.

My family is coming to KL to visit me this weekend... my nephew is rubbing his hand now! he's gonna get a ps3 + GTA IV (is it okay for a 10 years old to play this game?) while they're here. his dad gonna pay for it of course, not me.. i'm just help him buy it.

I'm gonna be a very jealous uncle this weekend.

hi there smile.gif long time no see. Errr... as for advice to get GTA IV for a 10 year old kid. I would say the answer is a definite NO. 10 year old is a very impressionable age. more four letter word in a single mission cutscene than in some R rated movies. There's strip clubs with naked dances with black cellotapes over the nipples, usage of drugs and alcohol, they even let you see exactly what the hooker does to you when you bring her into the car! Blowjobs, Handjobs, Intercourse. shocking.gif Right at the beginning there is a bondage scene where a girl rotans a naked guy in a room.

but the whole idea of him getting the ps3 is to play GTA IV.. he said he only wants that game this year and nothing else.

I thought San Andreas wasn't that bad, and i let him watch me play (and apparently he really liked it).. there's not much sex scene shown if i remember correctly.. only the occasional foul words used but he wouldn't understand them anyway.

But from what you guys wrote, i guess GTA IV is totally not OK for him... Hmm.. he doesn't like Guitar Hero man, he only plays adventure / platform games. Any similar games like gta / ratchet n clank on ps3 to recommend?

some of the dialogs I remember :

"There's nothing I like more than BIG American Titties!"

"You f***ing b****!"

Do try to show him game trailers of other stellar games, maybe it will make him change his mind.

1.uncharted: drake's fortune
2.burnout paradise
3. warhawk (if he has internet)
4. ratchet and clank

roman bellic exclaims

"There's nothing more I love than BEEEG Amerikan Titties!"

WTH man!
who says GTA4 is bad for kids.
i watched horror movies since i was 5.
i played playstation one since i was 8 years old and i played violent games ever since.
but i didnt even kill people.
come on man.
dont be narrow minded.
dont act like a wise ass man.
dont act like you are sooooooooo mature and so righteous.
do u think all the murderer played GTA4 then became a murderer or rapist or somewhat?
no right.

*
It's not so much about killing people if u play GTA, you know how kids (especially around 10 year old) love to copy what others do. Take my neighbour's kid for example. Only barely knew one or two words but already pandai say "f*** you" when got scolded by the mother. They let him watch movies with profanity with them. You want a kid like that?
