HD-DVD = Dead already.

Sooner or later, I do think that Blu-Ray discs will start to be pirated. Theres the problem with ICT(Image Contraint Token), but many has already found a way around it. Wouldn't be too suprising few years down the line we see Blu-Ray being sold for RM8.

Went to Singapore jst recently and Sony has taken quite an interesting method to cover their losses with every PS3 sold.

Since the hardware is losing money, they have given quite an attractive price of SGD559 and then told consumers that the only way to buy it at that price is that they have to buy two games by Sony's gaming studio. That way, they make the money from the software and hopefully cuts down the losses or even profit from every PS3 sold.

My friend bought it and I have to say it is still a good deal. The games were still cheaper than the local market here and it had some pretty good titles including the PS3 Game of the Year for 2007 (no! not COD4!), Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

^ Won't we get taxed for bringing in the PS3 back here? the price is at RM1260, which is great.

Ok we know PS3 no piracy and cannot be modded (for now). So why is the price difference?
I'm working in KLCC, so I went to two shops here... 40GB PS3 is like skyhigh and I know that PS3 is around RM13XX.

And btw... why Sony shop must sell so expensive? Isn't that their own product? can sell cheaper right?
