RM1356 for this model = expensive?  rclxub.gif

only 2 usb ports
NO flash card reader
NO SACD playback
NO BC

oh yeah,very cheap doh.gif

i'd top up another $100 or so and get the higher end model,which has all of the above and more doh.gif

it's not really expensive, consider PS3 just launched 1 year ago. PS2 and Xbox had been at that price point too.

Now the problem is, the games on blu-ray disc are expensive, provided no cheaper alternative available at the moment, at RM170+ each title, that will halt the movement of mainstream gamers in Malaysia

the online purchase of games through PSN at half price is good, but to our doomed screamyx and just 40GB HDD, this will have some difficulties.

im comparing it to the 60/80gb models.. tongue.gif

if those two werent available,this 40gb IS cheap.
RM1k for a BR player is in itself cheap,let alone a whole console with wifi and a hdd laugh.gif

those picts of the 40GB innards really show much redesign in mobo and cooling. thanks for your impressions.

seriously, the ps2 backward compatibility is really not relevant to most of us in MY/SG because of piracy. how many of you have a original copy of region 3 (asian) version of a ps2 game?
*
for me,this is a big ass dilemma doh.gif
i've 3 ori NTSC UC ps2 games (ZOE,GT3,MGS2)
and more(4-6) PAL PS2 games (spider-man 2,Spiderman,LOTR TROTK,etc) laugh.gif doh.gif

so either way i'm f*cked to a certain degree.. tongue.gif

get a R3 ps3 ^40gb model,cant play any of those games sweat.gif doh.gif
get a R2 ps3 ^40gb model,can only play my PAL games sweat.gif
get a R1 ps3 ^40gb model,can only play my limited NTSC UC games sweat.gif

and i think when i get a ps3,my ps2 goes into the storage...no place to put both sweat.gif

dilemma dilemma dilemma.... laugh.gif
