What's the latest price for Asian 40gb PS3 in Penang guys?

How about modded Xbox360 Elite? I just casually asked Game Monster (the shop in Qbay opposite Harvey Norman) and was quoted RM 1799 (1 controller + 10 JS games). Btw, just some feedback on the Game Monster shop, the owner is quite friendly and offers some good advice imo.

Any owners of the newer batch of modded Xbox 360 Elite faced any 3rod problem? If the problem still continues I think I have to drop the Xbox from my consideration list already.

For ACE Prangin Mall,

When I bought my PSP there, I asked them the PS3 price.

They say its RM1450 for 40gb and including a Tekken game.

Thank you.

Hmm...sounds like a good deal for ACE. Will check them out next week

Do u means mario komtar, midlands, or BJ? I bought my ps3 at Mario Komtar. So far so good.

I just went to BJ and enquired from Mario and GameTech. Mario PS3 40GB is Rm 1400 with 1 year warranty on service. GameTech is RM 1450 with 1 month warranty only.

I think ACE has the best deal then. How much is the price for Tekken 5 if sold separately? RM 200?

Then I better check at the Komtar Mario before deciding. The BJ Mario guy was quite helpful though. Answered me like a gamer to gamer talk rather than being hostile and all.

I have a bad experience with Gametech BJ. Bought a TTDS from them, got problem within 1 month so i brought it back to them. And they said "the warrantly is only for 1 week after date of purchased" Then they tried to sell me another TTDS with a "reduced price". I left the shop

So in the end *I will never buy anything from them, ever again".

I have the same feeling when I asked about the 3rd generation consoles. The shopkeeper was not really answering my questions and only know how to repeat the selling price to me sweat.gif

Hi all,

Any updates on the prices of consoles especially the 3rd generation ones in Penang? Have the prices move towards those in KL?

Its around there, just RM100 more or less.
IMHO, get from here easier incase of any problems.

Yea, I agree that getting from here is indeed better. But if the price is too high then might not consider it. How about games? U guys buy from Penang or KL send over? Or Jack Sparrow?

Jack Sparrow can get for all consoles except PS3.  cool2.gif

Games I get locally or from LYN Tradezone. Good bargains all around.

I recommend PS3 for next gen gaming. I was planning to get xbox360 but was turned down by the fact that the dealers warranty DOESN'T cover 3ROD. Btw Xbox360 is retailling for around RM1600 in Penang.

Ok I'm also considering between PS3 and Wii only. Whats the average price of games for PS3 and Wii in Penang? U know any must-have games for PS3? notworthy.gif

Frankly the Wii is a lame PS2 with a fancy controller. I regret buying it sad.gif

Anyhow, COD4, Uncharted Drake, Resisteance:FOM, Heavenly Sword and what he said. Avoid the rest and save money
for FF and Guitar Hero 4.

All I can say,it depends on personal preference.By the way, Which version of Wii did you buy? Japanese or USA ?
*
Actually I quite like the Wii. Except for the fact that the console lacks the processing muscle of the PS3 or even Xbox 360, I can actually have better idea of the games that I would actually want to buy from the Wii platform. Examples include Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Mario Kart and Zelda among others. As for PS3, I'm only looking forward to FF13. I also love Soul Calibur, Tekken and DMC4. I'll possibly get MSG4 (fans please don't kill me icon_question.gif ) if I buy the PS3 since the game received such a good review.

Does the Wii have any known problems? I don't seem to notice anyone complaining of problems with their Wii hmm.gif

Hi,
U mean complete set of Wii only at Rm1080? Which shop in queenbay?
thanks

It's a japan set. Not the US Wii I believe. It should be at the shop (forgot the name) near to the Thai foot massage area. Btw for Xbox 360 I believe GameMonster is slightly cheaper. Was quoted RM 1799 a couple of weeks ago.
