hi all...where i can buy god of war 1 and 2 games(original or pirate also can) in Penang......Can anyone tell me.thanks

For games, I think it's best for you to get from the seller in LYN. The price in the Penang shops are not so good.

pirated copy is not good for gaming business. just an advise.

Need a "LIKE" button for this.

Why would you go for pirated if you have the budget for original?
Anyway I found out today that Godspeed in Prangin Mall 3rd floor is actually a LYN seller as well(IlikePanadol), his price is very competitve to some of the popular LYN sellers as well, so you can actuially try to ask from him.

Plus GOW1 and 2 is available as PSN game. it will be cheaper to do sharing. if budget is of you concern..

Btw what the current price of PSP 3000?

where do you think shops in penang that sell unmodded xbox360 slim 4gb arcade which cost
around rm850-900? if in kl there lots of shop that sell at this price.

thanks.

The only shops I saw unmodded xbox (phat jasper version) is Gametech and G Electronics. You can go take a look.

Be warned, they might not drop the price, as these Xboxes are bought in a high cost price.

Yup - Terry.

So, no need introduction here haha.

Hi, do u guys know where can i get a reasonable wii console in penang? And wat is the price range of a Wii? Will wan a shop with good after sales service. Thanks.

Any shop also can... You may try gamemaster or shops in Bukit Jambul and Prangin Mall.

Hi, im intrested to buy ps3 either 160gb or 320gb. Any recomended shop offr cheaper price n packages? Tat day i ask bj shop rm1050 free 10dwnloaded games...

Below is my review on gaming shops in Penang that I've visited and surveyed during my purchase of a new PS3.
I hope this can help Penangites who are having a hard time deciding where to purchase their console from gaming shops in Penang.

The items I bought are:
Playstation 3 160GB CECH-2506A Class White
1 Beat Sketch Game
1 PS Eye
2 Move Controllers

This is my experience during my survey.

GameMart (One Stop)
I know this shop has the highest popularity in here for Penangite, that is why this is the first place I went to survey. I went at night, the guy served me is ah tatt, but he said he is the 'smaller' tatt, don't know much about that. Communication is okay and friendly although he is playing game when I visit, he didn't turn back to play his game in the middle of conversation. However he didn't contact me although I've leave my contact for him and asked him to call me when he got stock, too bad, or else I might have bought the console from them.
I don't really want to rate this as my time spent in there is very short


ACE Hardware (Prangin Mall)
The lady who serves me is quite friendly, able to answer questions in good manner, not having a good technical knowledge but acceptable as a normal salesperson or shop keeper. However, the downside of this shop is the boss and the environment. Firstly, I don't understand why smoking is allowed in a shopping mall, when I go in the shop I need to suffer the smell of smoke, it is because a fella is smoking just right outside the shop, playing PS3. Secondly, although the lady worker is quite friendly, I can hear the boss is scolding tons of bad words from time to time when he is answering his phone. Maybe he is having a bad day, but I don't know. However that turn me away seriously, I don't want to get scolded like that when I come back next time if my PS3 has any problems.

Unfortunately that day I don't really know what I'm doing I place RM50 as deposit there, end up I don't want to buy from them because I'm having a dilemma due to their service and some reviews I read in this topic. I went back to the shop to buy a Dual Shock 3 to spend the RM50 deposit, too bad they only have 3 colors, which I don't want, but I have to buy it anyway. No comment on the older lady in that shop when I bought the Dual Shock 3, her service = What? Ok, Bye.

Game Tower (Prangin Mall)
This is a funny experience, I was served by the boss if I'm not mistaken, a fatty guy. He is so damn rushing to close a sales, and he counted the price wrongly for me, for TWICE! At first I thought "Wow you have the lowerst price ever" end up when I ask him again, he calculated wrongly, his price was the highest in Penang as far as I've surveyed, lol. The only thing worth mentioning is their shop is quite well decorated and has a good ambient for a gaming shop, however that doesn't really matter.
Rating: 5.5/10


Marionet (Bukit Jambul Complex)
This shop is hopeless. All their stocks are looking old, there are like already 1 years putting there and collected a lot of dust. The guy serves me has totally no intention of doing business. When I'm asking question he just simply reply and keep on doing his things on his laptop. The worst thing is he call his friend to chit chat in the middle of our conversation? WTF. Their price is okay but with that kind of service, don't expect they will care about you after you buy from them.
Rating: 2/10


G Electronics & Electricals (Prangin Mall)
This is the only shop that has presence on Lowyat. I bought my items in this shop. I can say they reply to my PM in details. When I visit their shop, I was served by Melinda and Cai, both of them are friendly and helpful. Cai has good technical knowledge but not much software knowledge. Their price may be higher but negotiable. I would recommend this shop to everyone if you want good value. Value = Price divided by service. They have good price with good service, some shops may offer you a very good price but give you awful service, thus resulting in a bad value.
Rating: 7.5/10

This is only my personal experience as what you may encounter would be difference from mine, as you might served by different worker. This is only a reference for people who is doing a research or survey about gaming shops in Penang. Hope this help.

From my personal experience, they will give u good service if u return to buy ahem games from them but if u dun, their after sales service is damn poor. Last time when I buy a console from them, I ask them whether it can play download games that I burn into dvd & they say no. "U can buy from us, guarantee can work only RM5 per piece" (main source of income) but in the end I know they r trying to pull my leg so I played downloaded games anyway & they even said that my wii can play ahem gamecube games & in the end it cant. I went back to the shop & they give me all sorts of lame excuses which is not logic at all. So after that issue, I started playing ori game (mostly pre-owned). I'm looking for an xbox now & I went to a lot of shops asking for the latest price & the price is terribly insane except for god speed & game tower.

I'm planning to get myself a Nintendo Wii modify that can play all games. Any recommendation for Butterworth area? Want a reliable shop that can provide best after sales service. And reasonable price too! Please help, thanks a lot.

Well, Hi everyone, I would like you all to help me on something, would you mind?

1st of all, I'm now searching for a XBox 360 250gb console with Kinect and atleast 1 wireless controller( or if you know any that sell the special "Halo 3" version I would like to know as well)
Would like you all to recommend me any shops in Penang Island, I won't mind paying more if the service and after service is good, atleast i will be treated nicely.

Um... I would like to ask you all too as why everyone who wants to buy a PS3 won't simply go to the sony centre in Gurney,Queensbay and etc?
Just saying, as they are the original sellers of the console.(I am the kind who likes to buy stuff from the original seller as I felt that it would be much safer and more guaranteed)

Would like to hear from you all any suggestions and I would like to thank you all for helping me


P.S what is falcon and modded anyway?? it means it can play pirated games??
