2 shops that I find OK (although can improve further) on Penang island, that sells Ori games.
1) ACE Prangin Mall. Level 3, next to Home Recipe. It has a TV hanging outside. New games available quite fast. Price reasonable. Boss is experienced. Normally no bargaining here, fixed price. If the game u want is not there, u can ask them to order for u.
2) GAMES TOWER Prangin Mall. Level 1, outside Parkson, if you come out from Parkson, keep to the left. It is a small "stall", not a real shop. Price also reasonable. Can bargain a bit. But these days seems they have less Ori games on display.
Shops that I will never recommend is GXXXXMASTER (can be found in a few malls), anyway they don't really sell Ori games.

You need to understand that XBOX360 and PS3 sold in malaysia are all parallel imports, meaning there is no official warranty from Microsoft Malaysia or Sony Malaysia.
The consoles are however given warranty by the country where the local game shops bought them, which is often Singapore nowadays. So in order for your game shop to claim warranty, they need to send your console back to Singapore, that's obviously not very efficient.
also.. my guess is your XBOX360 is modded, thus really no point sending it to anywhere since the warranty is void.
and since the game shop cannot claim warranty from anyone, they will have to charge you the repair fee...can't say it's unfair or what, imo.

QUOTE(shaoching @ Jun 14 2008, 11:46 PM) wat i can say is prefer go further and pay more to buy my console in kl,it is more trusted and stable.service those kind of nonsence is not a problem,if u buy a console tat u noe it wil get wrong oways,then y u stil wan to buy it?1 hit KO purchase is d best solution!! never and ever try penang shop until u heard tat penang island name change to KL not looking for an argument but i think your statement is too extreme. many people bought their consoles in Penang and they are happy. Unhappy buyers exist both in Penang and KL. Good and Bad shops exist in both Penang and KL. important thing is do some research before u buy. ask carefully on the details / warranty (research on what to ask and what to check before go to the shop) before u buy. It applies to all buyers at all shops.. Penang or KL. |

QUOTE(Broadings @ Sep 3 2008, 12:33 PM) Well, im not sure am i offended anyone here. but i really want to share my experience. I bought this PSP set from Marionet (from Perangin Mall). After few days (3-5 days) i found out that the L button is bit steeped down. i went back to the shop to ask them can i change other set or anything. the seller wanted to change (as in just few days). he ask his boss, but his boss demand to left my set there no matter what. no matter how much i talk wit the seller, he say he cant help it but need me to leave the handset here. Well without any option left, i leave it there. but i tell the seller make sure 100% dont scratch it. As i'm more to a perfectionist, i don't want any scratch. Before leaving i showed him my whole set and ensure that my set remain unscratch.. After 2days later i call him, he say my set ready ask me go back. Upon arrive he tell me that its not the button steep, its the model like this (when i bring over to show him he feel it ownself and say that its steep down and wanted to change for me, but now he is against wat he said). I understand that the model's R and L's button bit steep down. but my L is too steep. since he say cant change and cant do shit wit it. i cant do anything but take back. but after take back i found scratches on my UMD cover.. I'm trully pissed off.. is your PSP the Malaysia offcial product version? if yes maybe u can try to call Sony and ask what can you do... |

QUOTE(alex13 @ Mar 16 2009, 08:46 PM) There is one in Komtar, and another one near Cantonment Road, actually. i personally prefer ACE in Pulau Tikus (near cantonment road) more friendly the one in prangin mall.. seems becoming more and more lansi well.. maybe becoz many people just walk in and ask for pricing, not really intend to buy (prangin mall is quite crowded) but overall i still prefer GAME MART |
