Well, I really can't choose. If I am really forced to choose, I probably will go to Game Tech. Yes, the price might be a bit more expensive, however I am more confident in that place because the boss and the worker is more patient and knowledgable on the stuffs there.

For Mario, unless the boss and two long time shopkeep there, the rest just want to get the deal done and send you away. I don't really like that kind of attitude.

I don't know whether it's still the case. However, Mario is reluctant to offer warranty for more than 1~2 months. For Gametech, they say they will fix your stuff in the period of 12 months if there are any problems. You guys better check it out.

Please post what your package and how much you get when you bought your consoles.

Thank you.

for wat i hv ade ask,both of them juz provide 1 month d waranty for me,but d waranty i din ask izit it cover software or service only...
yes,i totally agree v u..d mario shopkeeper really act like juz wana deal d business only.i get in and ask they juz simply get me an ans then not even introduce me anything.but d gametech even 2 shopkeep come to serve me at once,that's make me feel more reliable.but,the price not a bit expensive,is much more exp...

i think i probably wil visit them 2ml to ask them more detailly...

hmmm.. my fren is the regural customer there, so she bring me there lo...

my package?

PSP set (battery,manual,charger)
screen protector
soft pouch (but i change to the other type of pouch and strap with discount)
4gb sony memory card (with game that u choose)
remote sony psp earphone

Thanks for the feedback, Alex13. The situation in Penang is very similar to Kuching (where I come from). We all very kiam siap.
PS3 is also slow to get off the ground there because everyone's used to pirated games. And I feel that it's precisely because of the pricey games that rental could work in Penang. It's doing fine in KL even though most people buy games.

With regard to "permanent rental", no problems there. Refundable deposits are taken for members so that is avoided.

And I won't tie up with a game shop cos they will rather sell games then rent. Anyway, I'm still looking for a partner so if you guys know anyone interested, ask them to contact me. Zero startup cost!

I'm all for rental in Penang if *cough*there's no modded PS3*cough*.

since u guys are so knowledgable, y don't we open a shop in PG, or maybe do online shopping...

can i know where does the psp game come from memory stick or UMD?i am quite noob at psp....and can we download ourself from the net?thanks.......

finally i bought my psp with mario..
actually feel not so happy oso when bought fr them,cz i discover that d sellman threat me not as well...even al things is me ask by myself,he doesn't not offer any help for me..but,since it was cheap,so i juz bought fr them without kira so much la..

my psp
psp slim and lite v3.90
4gb memory
screen protector
usb cable
crystal case
remote headphone

total RM770
i instal 5 game=ff7 crisis core,god of war,patapon,megaman and naruto

since the soft pouch cant fix in the psp with case,so i change it with usb cable.and add RM10 for the case...

now,start my journey for gaming..hehe...

Great ! how long for the warranty they give? the soft pouch is the orignal sony pouch?

they give 1year waranty..but actually i juz realize that d waranty wasnt so effective...if wan say clearly,wan take it or not oso no diff..
tis is because the waranty juz covered service fee only,if anything hapen to ur console,they wont change 1 to1 for u and d spare part ned to paid urself..so if got such waranty oso ntng useful...

i don take the soft pouch,cz d case cant fix in it,so take oso uselss..the pouch is not ori,ori i think ned 50++..

Glad to see you have your own PSP. Unfortunately for now it's still a dream yet. Enjoy your PSP and feel free to tell us here when you add any accesories. Last time when I was studying in Australia, I saw people using PSP as a GPS system, its kinda nice.

Thank you.

Added on May 16, 2008, 8:27 amWell,

Maybe I was "brainwashed" back in the study days, but I start to appreciate original stuff more.

Added on May 16, 2008, 8:31 amWelcome to Lowyat coldnet.

Actually opening a console shop in PG takes a lot of courage and research, since we are all just knowledgable in the end user part, I think it's best not to venture into it unless we are really resourceful.

Online, if you mean online selling its the same issue as above.

If you mean that why we don't buy stuff online or delivery from KL, well, we discussed this before. It's because that most of us prefer to "touch" the stuff before and right after we purchase the stuff. If you want to say the price difference, I can see the latest price in KL and Penang for consoles are not much of a difference anymore. I guess we are "lucky" that nowadays that Penang consoles trend are getting up and running.

wah... ur package nicer than mine !!! gonna complain my fren already... LOL... anyway, enjoy ur psp la...

Anybody have any ideas where to get XBOX 360 in Penang at a reasonable price?

I went to Queensbay Mall and asked, the price was way expensive, premium set with only 1 controller and console 1.8k!

Any other place? how about in BJ Complex?

Well,

I guess hardly anybody buy stuch stuff in Queensbay Mall before.

I never talk about Xbox360 because I never intend to buy it, at least for now. You can go to check on ACE in Prangin, they are considered the Xbox expert (I saw so many Xbox hanging around). Also, alternatively, you can go to Gametech in BJ.

Hope that helps and tell us your package and price when you bought it or asked them.

Thank you.

how much for a psp slim's batteries fake and original anyone knows?

Regarding the Xbox360, I think the supply in Penang is not much because there aren't many people buying for now. Don't worry, the stock will come back eventually. I wounldn't be surprised if they accept order.

Thank you.

is elite version

Hai Guys,

I just bought my Xbox 360 Halo special edition yesterday at Mario in BJ..but already having issues with the console..I had the red ring of light flashing when i turned it on..it was fine when I tested the console in Mario..The screen displays that system error and please contact Microsoft Support..I was shocked..I tried shutting it down and turning it on again..This time nothing went wrong..another problem that I faced is most of the games that I played stopped suddenly and the screen shows that the disc is unreadable..I'm going Mario again today to talk to salesman..he was really friendly though..I'm also planning to get a PS3 next month..hehehe..
