If u just want to purchase the console, i think gamer tower offer the best but if u thinking of after sales service. Komtar Mario should be the one cause they offer reasonable price and the technician very good in repairing console + friendly as well.

Will try and take a look at Komtar Mario package...after sales is important.

What is Komtar Mario Offering..?anyone knows..?

just thought that Game Tower after sales is good...is it...?

I will be using the PS3 mostly to watch Bluray...for game maybe some major title like Assasin Creed, COD4,Final Fantasy 13(dont know when it gonna be realese), God Of War 3....

I think Game Tower dont know how to repair console one. If anything happen, they will send ur console to other ppl repair and somemore if anything happen within ur warranty period. They will say it's your problems like misuse, drop down or something like that to refuse any warranty claim. My fren kena once already

Komtar Mario offer reasonable price only but their technician's skill is good as well as the ACE's prangin mall also, they offer the price more expensive than Komtar Mario.

Well than Mario is the answer for me....will go there at the end of this month for PS3... icon_idea.gif

Still can anyone update about the current price for the package at Mario.... icon_question.gif

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! laugh.gif! This is Malaysia!

Now im getting confuse whether to go with Mario or ACE..... rclxub.gif

So far that i had read in this forum ACE seem having a bad after sales service..

Correct me if i am wrong...

Just Bought the PS3 from Mario Komtar yesterday.. rclxm9.gif

PS3 40GB - RM1430 w/ SGD5 PSN Coupon

DMC4 - RM230

HDMI CABEL - RM60

Total= RM1700.

3 Month Shop Warranty.


Such a friendly guy, but i'm shock that he doesn't know much about PS3. sweat.gif

He said that he's quite familiar with X360 n Wii but this his first time trying the PS3. shocking.gif

The shop doesn't have much game choice.At time of the purchase there's only DMC4 n GT5:Prologue.


Gave a visit to ACE, this time i think the the staff that forumer had been complaining about is not there

instead there's a middle age women and the boss i think.

ACE Prangin have quit number of game selection.

I bought Assassin Creed for RM200 at from them.

ACE selling PS3 for RM1450+1 free Tekken 5.

But the shop warranty is 1 week only. sweat.gif

and yeah the boss(i think) had an attitude of take it or leave it.


DarkRaenter have u bought yours?

Alex13,


I think the price for PS3 is not much different from KL..only RM100-200...

As in KL they are selling PS3 for RM1300++,thats what i read in some of the post here..

So if u happen to be in KL its good choice to buy there but if u wanna have them post it to U

the price would be the same in here..the post cost would be around RM50++

So its nearly the price here...

for games its ok to buy from KL shop as the post cost is around RM5

and they have more choice then here.


If the shop in KL provide free post from there then its ok lor tongue.gif ..

Dont know much about WII or X360...but recently as Mario Komtar for Xbox360 its aroung RM1600

For technology i guess they will be new version of PS3 by the end of this year..

thats what i heard from some forum in Europe..its will have a new optical laser..

More cheaper i think.. icon_rolleyes.gif
