QUOTE(snipersnake @ Dec 12 2008, 10:09 AM) There is no Malaysian PS3 with 160GB. Either the shop is lying or they replaced the stock hdd with a new hdd.Or its a PS3 from a different warranty. hmm.well,im not sure bout that cause i didnt look it in details,i mean i dunt open up the box..but from the outside,its the same box as malaysia edition & stated 160gb insted of 80gb..kinda shock when i saw that. can c the malaysia warranty too n when i ask them,they said that just arrived bout 2 days ago.. but yah,mayb u r right bout it.. :-) |

The only 160GB SKU available now is in the US, and thats the Uncharted Bundle.
Malaysia only has 80GB. I'm assuming they have ugpraded the HDD to 160GB beforehand though. There are a few shops in Sunway doing that as well. Either way it isn't such a good deal. You can get an 80GB now for RM1550, a 320GB HDD costs only another RM210. You do the math.... |

bro's how did you guys back up your ps3 hdd before replacing the new one?
you use a 3rd hdd is it? one which is formatted using fat32? is it possible for me to use a hdd that is already formatted using ntsf and partition it to say 20gb of fat32 and plug that in into the ps3? otherwise must buy 2 external hdd... pokai like that. |
