Hi guys, i am going for my visit at hong kong soon, I would like to ask if there is any problems of buying a PS3 there and using it here besides that i don't have warranty and if i wanna get my warranty i need to do it at HK??
Meaning do i have problem with the voltage plug etc etc ??
Please advice

No problem. I have a HK PS3 right now. The voltage plug works fine. About the warranty. I am not sure. Why not get one in Singapore. Would be nearer and easier to claim your warranty if anything happens.

tax...always must remember that bloody tax...

damn tax....damn damn damn tax...

anyway....careful of th customs imposed on the PS3...or you could declare it as a PC part...which theoritically is correct since the PS3 has USB ports for printers..

Just wondering how much is the tax
Plz let me noe after u brought back ur PS3

most of the electornics thing / PC hardware it taxes u 30% of the cost.
But i dont know about game...(Blue Ray) does it tax too?

game also got tax as i remembered somebody has talked bout that before.

Nah Malaysian customs will not tax computer parts/stuff..it happen to me once when i brought my Graphic Card from US..
They call me out that they say that they gonna quarantine the graphic card for tax but when they find out that it is computer parts
they let it go...

PS3 aint computer part per se....but it can be declared as such...the customs here...aint exactly the sharpest of knives...

u will be surprised of what they know... they can differentiate a PS2 and a PS3 and they know how much a PS3 cost here....

cos my ps3 was held by custom and I needed to pay 15%tax(after sales tax) and 10%(import tax) or was it the other way round...

U bring in more than 1 PS3?
tourism they wont tax.
i been to AUS buy wine and something else, the custom dont even want to look at us haha

haha... they even know the small PSP...

Blueray movie they tax also.
not sure about games.

Do I need some converter or whatsoever if i buy the ps3 from US?

so,there's something good about our gomen...
yay,any other electrical weird machine,they tax 10%.
my bro kena once

it is an ultrasonic device

What if I keep the PS3 in a bag without the box? Kena tax also?

Yeah i got think of that too.
but how they got to prove hhaa..

I think that if you declare it as a gift, the custom won't be able to tax you?

Technically, a gift is something you accept for free from someone. And I don't think so they will take the trouble to check whether you are telling the truth or not?

nowadays even if u buy something online and ask them to send it as gift, it is still taxable.....

I bought my MGS 20th Anniversary pack back in August from YesAsia. They declare it as a gift and I was not required to pay any tax when I went over to collect my package.

my point is it depends on ur luck...sometimes even if u dont declare it as gift and above RM500, they stil will not tax u...while some other times they tax u even if its declared as gift or even tax u RM60 for 2BD discs(although its oli about USD30++)
