Hey guys I plan to get a xbox 360, this is my first console so I need some advice here, from what I'm reading from this thread ACE seems to offer the best service? Are the consoles they sell modded?

It's not that I want to buy modded consoles but I've been asking prices around BJ but they only have modded consoles there, I still want to buy ori as I want to be able to play online.

And how about the original factory warranty Microsoft gives? how long was it?

get a jasper.. if u worry too much. just leave gaming. ps3 also got a problem of ylod.. at least rrod most shop still can fix... but ylod, 50/50 chances of ur ps3 to get it work back.i'm not a fanboy, but just to let you know if scared of the risk, just leave gaming since both console got its own problem.u need to take the risk.

I was just asking for shops that offers better after services, I going to buy it, just looking for a good shop if you may understand, there is a difference between shop that gives you a good warranty cover, charges repairs for a reasonble price or just plain try to cheat.

Hi all,

I was wondering, what does it take to open a console shop in Penang?
*
Very Very good "Black Market" connection. LoL.

There are tons of it in Penang, and most of them offers close to zero genuine stuff sigh.......

You can try start up one that sells ori stuff and rent ori games, at least ppl like me will be very happy biggrin.gif.

Wahaha finally bought my xbox 360 pro from gametech in BJ. RM 1499, hmm that pretty close to penang's market price. Other shop sells it at 1480 but their staffs were a bit rude so I decided to shop for gametech's good attitude. and they throw in a play and charge kit and a second controller, so at the end it was a bargain afterall biggrin.gif.

Hi
The 2nd controller is actually part of the package. Not thrown in as you said. Game console comes in batches as determined by Main Supplier and the current batch of Xboxes comes with 2 controller. Same as some PS3 with forced games

My friend gonna set up a Game Console shop in Penang soon with price almost comparable to KL's.
Need your kind input. Please list down what you expect from a Game Console shop
1) Price wise
2) Product knowledge
3) ??
*
Not quite as you say, the second controller I get still well sealed in it's own packaging, not a package with the console, it was a throw in.

hi all...where i can buy god of war 1 and 2 games(original or pirate also can) in Penang......Can anyone tell me.thanks

Why would you go for pirated if you have the budget for original?
Anyway I found out today that Godspeed in Prangin Mall 3rd floor is actually a LYN seller as well(IlikePanadol), his price is very competitve to some of the popular LYN sellers as well, so you can actuially try to ask from him.

Plus GOW1 and 2 is available as PSN game. it will be cheaper to do sharing. if budget is of you concern..

Um... I would like to ask you all too as why everyone who wants to buy a PS3 won't simply go to the sony centre in Gurney,Queensbay and etc?
Just saying, as they are the original sellers of the console.(I am the kind who likes to buy stuff from the original seller as I felt that it would be much safer and more guaranteed)
*
Well maybe because they didnt drop the price since 2009, if I buy PS3 at 2009 I may buy from them as the price difference was less than RM100 compare to local retailers, but now, you may be able to find PS3 for less than RM1000 already, and the official Sony price still the same as 2009

P.S what is falcon and modded anyway?? it means it can play pirated games??
*
Falcon of one if the Xbox 360 version. and modded means yes, the Xbox 360 is not original sealed from microsoft factory, some changes has been made to it after the supplier brought in, mostly for the intentions of playing pirated games(I see ppl that use it to run Windows XP, but thats beside the point).

You probably cant find a Falcon set now as it is not in production since 2009.

Hi bro, together with game they trade, ps3 console + games for a ps4???

likely won't. They will probably still ask you for some money, no matter what you do, you won't come close to cover half of the price of PS4
