thanks bro..

emm..whatd u mean by 'what they have to offer'?

is there like a minimum/standard package if i were to buy PS3? or is there any obvious info i need to know when i want to purchase one?

help much appreciated!!

need help here! do u have any idea either PS3 set from japan could be used in our "bolehland"? my brother said set from japan is cheaper, his travel to japan twice a month, worry to "kirim", would regret if cannot use it..

dont worry la... PS3 from nippon can use in our "boleh blah" country.. my 1st PS3.. from japan....

@kikopi
Hmmm... I mean, like you said before, DigiMall offers 40GB PS3, 1 sixaxis, 1 DS3, 1 game. All for RM1600+ Correct? Make sure of this first and compare the price and the customer service. If the customer service sucks, I don't recommend buying it there.

sure ka? but i think it still need to do some voltage mod. japanese not using 240v like us, did u bought ur 1st model at japan? or bought it in bolehland? mb they already modded. anyway thanks bro

the power supply is built in and supports 110v ~ 240v. No modification necessary. Any one say need to modify, it is a con job.

the only thing to worry about is the warranty. Asian sets from Singapore u can get warranty if u register online. Japan sets hv to go back to Japan lor. Another thing is the censorship, I heard Japan consoles got censor some games, not sure true or not..

ok, tq bros...i think its worth buying malaysian model...but buy accs from japan, which wireless controler should be around RM50 (2nd hand)...

Not every people own a ps2 before they buy ps3... someone like me...

got it..thanks bro !

I heard rumours that the upcoming PS3 80GB which replacing the 40gb will cause the upcoming batch of ps3 to be much expensive once it start selling in mysia. Can anyone confirm that?

Chances slim as the new 80GBs would sell at the current 40GB prices. Furthermore comes with dualshock3. If anything, 40GB price might drop.

The new 80GB should be the same price as 40GB. But, you know how some sharks operate, they'll put it at a higher price because hard disk is bigger.

GH is the best!!!!!

40GB PS3 to be phased out, with 80GB model to be the one PS3 to rule them all

Like its bitter rival Microsoft, Sony Computer Entertainment makes known its intentions to introduce another console SKU into the market, whilst retiring another. At its E3 press conference, SCEA confirms a new 80GB PlayStation 3 "Core Pack" scheduled for launch this September. Priced at $399 USD, it's actually $100 USD cheaper than the current 80GB models which now come bundled with Metal Gear Solid 4.

SCEA's senior marketing VP Peter Dille notes that the upcoming 80GB PS3 will replace the currently available 40GB model, introduced last October. With nearly all the previous PS3 configurations being phased out, SCE will at some point make the upcoming 80GB model its sole PS3 console for North America. However, no price cut appears to be on the horizon for the 40GB PS3.

Outside of the larger built-in hard drive storage, the 80GB PS3 is pretty much the same console as the outgoing 40GB edition. Unfortunately, that it will continue to lack backwards compatibility with PS2 games thanks to its lack of the PS2-based "Graphics Synthesizer" GPU, in addition to skimping out on the built-in card reader seen in the earlier PS3 models.

sorry for a noob question...
too long didnt online d...
the hard disk using 2.5" sata hdd right...
is it will void the warranty if i change it to other size? let say 250G...
and now 40GB is selling around rm1300 right?

OFF TOPIC: bro ur siggy.. who's that gal? japanese or?

edit: just saw the name in the pic... hehe...
