Check out latest price from SonyStyle. As what my fren told me they had increased the price due to currency exchange. I think everyone will shock to see it.

Console Only - RM1,599 -> RM 1,799
Console + 2 Game - RM 1,799 -> RM 1,899
DS3 - RM 169 -> RM189

Even game also increased around RM20-RM30
Previously the Uncharted Drake's Fortune is RM 189 now RM 219.

Check it out at sonystyle.com

p/s:SonyMY did it again. Luckily i get mine during launch. RM 1968 - Console + 2 Games + 1 extra controller with freebies.

Even PS2 price also increased. Last month can get a full set under RM500. Now RM550.

I also think its due to the currency.

I just asked a shop in Cheras this evening and was quoted RM1690. If I take with one game bundled, it would be RM1650. Apparently the shop will "absorb" the cost of the game if you just want to take the console only hence the higher price. Not very logical but I guess they have to do it because of Sony Malaysia policy.

I walked across to another shop and they have the SG 80GB Asian Set going for RM1380. I am curious to know the experience of PS3 owner who bought SG PS3 set in terms of the quality of these SG set? Are they any known quality issues that I should be aware of? I am going through the PS3 FAQ thread slowly but would like to get some quick feedback.

I intend to the use the PS3 as my blu-ray player hence I don't need the games. The shop owner claims that they can fix the len problem and at a cheaper rate that Sony Malaysia. I wonder has anyone actually sent their SG PS3 for such repair before (touch wood) and your experiences (good or bad). Any feedbacks is very much appreciated.

Guys... YEN has increased by more than 20% (vs RM) since last month. So they have no choice but to pass the increase to the consumer since THEY CLAIMED their margin is very small.... I remember I wrote this before to tell you guys to quickly order 1 before they increase!!!

PS3 Malaysia set is SonyStyle warranty. If problem occurs under warranty, send to SonyStyle, no need to pay.

If SG set, must send SG if you dont want to pay at shop and have to wait maybe a month to get it back.

Pro and Cons for it.
If anything u will regret. If nothin happen u save some.
But why not just play safe since you already paying so much. U won't know what will happen rite. If u talk about SG 80GB then is the old one where got memory card slot.

Nope. The SG set 80GB CURRENTLY selling is the EXACT same machine as the MY set. The serial number begins with CECHK06, and the only exception is that the warranty needs to be claimed in SG instead of MY.

Thanks for all the feedbacks.

Actually the shop did mentioned that if I don't bother with warranty on the SG set, they can do the repair and their repair cost can be cheaper than those offer by Sony Malaysia. I guess that the risk I'll have to take if I go for the SG set just to take advantage of the saving. Until that day come (touch wood), I will never know if this is the case.

I got another offer from another shop selling just the console at RM1580. The extra RM200 will buy me the the warranty and the convenient so I am going with the Malaysian set.
