Does Ace Electrical & Electronics in Prangin is the same as Ace in Komtar? I need to get me an x360 soon.

How should I put this ... I'd never buy a console from Mario again. They give good service (you can 'test' a game there) but when it comes to console let's just say that last time Tan (the owner or something) gave me 10 crap games with my PS2, I think I had to throw them all away. Ace don't let me 'test' a game but when I bought my brother a PS2, it had a stand and I can choose whichever 10 games that I want.

Thing is I've been his customer since I was like~ 13 years old (now I'm like 23 :|). I bought a PS2 from him in 2005 I think, maybe he wants to get rid of old stock so he gave me really crappy games like Gundam and sports title (I hate sports!) so yeah, that does it. If I want to get a new console I won't get it from him.

I also surveyed 360 at Ace and then his shop. Ace is selling a Pro 360 (2 free games, wireless controller, hdmi) for RM1680. Tan is selling a Core (including 20 gig HDD, wired controller, component, maybe 2 free games) for rm1650 I think. So Ace's offer sounds nicer.

... but Tan's shop is still the best shop to 'test' some games and the service is very friendly (coz he wants your money!). Speaking (typing) bout police there's a police station just 10 meters away from both Ace and Mario! ! This is Malaysia!

I don't know what deal they're having for PSP but if you value after sales service you should go to Mario. Not saying that Ace provide a sloppy service (I don't know if they did) but for some reason it's a kind of shop that you go to buy stuff and then leave without chatting with the workers.

... just that Mario proves that it can be cruel to near-a-decade customer like me. So my preference:

Consoles: Ace

They don't have to since their customer mainly consists of Penangites.

Aiseh~. 'Warranty' means that if your Xbox is broken, they will fix it not MS. I think you got played, I asked Mario last year and the owner (Tan) said that he'll give his 360 a 1 month warranty. Bout a few weeks ago I asked Ace and the girl said they give their 360 3 months warranty.

I want to confirm if Ace has falcons too (looks like it with the holiday bundle and whatnot) ... when I get enough money that is ... but I can tell you, last time I went to Mario (Tan's), he hasn't updated his stock yet so his 360s are less likely to be falcon models

Yep, last time I went there Mario is still selling the Core package but Ace Electronics are having Premiums now.

I bought a 360 Pro @ ACE Prangin yesterday for RM1630. The middle age woman was in charge, there was no 'arrogant' attitude going on thank God. Previously I heard in Komtar that the warranty is 3 months but now somehow she said 1 month. Fine, I can't stand it already.

She was nice enough to open the box and let me check the powerbrick, it's a falcon. She also said that they accept 'trades' just in case if I wanna trade my falcon 360 for a jasper down the road. She even gave me a tip for the 360, after playing a game make sure you take out the disc and leave it for 15-20 mins before shutting down.

Even with the falcon the 360 is pretty hot after 1-2 hours of gameplay, but if this baby get the dreaded RRoD there's no schway I'm sending it to Singapore (H4x time!). Now, anyone can recommend me an HDTV?

Oh, there's also a modded Elite (RM1998), but I was rm48 short I think. Don't need the extra HDD anyway.

You don't ... but IMO ACE is straight to the point and they update new stock quickly. Just don't go there asking for a discount and God-Willing, you wont get a taste of 'arrogance'. In Penang Island there are only 2 shop that I 'trust' (very loose term) ACE and Mario Komtar (veeeery loose term).

Mario Komtar lvl 4 Komtar (somewhere near the police station), ACE Prangin is on lvl 3 Prangin (left side if you come out from the lift).

Edit: Oops, maybe he's talking about another shop ... Are you talking about the 'game' shop that sells J-Dorama at the front?
