i planing to get PS3 soon, but i wonder why they have 40GB, 80GB & now  i hear Alex say got new package with 160GB, as i know the HDD is for storage movie, mp3, photo & demo game, but if i purely just buy PS3 for game only, the 80GB & 160GB serve no purpose, then what for we stiil need to pay expensive price for it? just get the lowest capacity set will do?

or is there 40GB version inside feature different with 80GB or 160GB version?
*
well 160GB are Singapore Unit btw..The Cell & RSX are totally same like MY PS3 ( 65nm Cell & 65nm RSX )..the diffrence just the HDD , for me go for MY PS3 80GB and later on u can upgrade the HDD until 320GB..Plus the MY PS3 comes with 1 years warranty...the 160GB SG PS3 are limited edition , but incase anything u must go to Sony Singapore to claim the warranty..Sony Malaysia are only for MY PS3.

why most of ps3 gamers upgrade their HDD ?

1. Most of PS3 games required installation to the HDD.
2. Download Demos , Games etc. from PSN STORES via Online.
3. Games Save , Photo , Music etc.

So i do think 40GB enough...even hardcore users had 320GB also not enough rclxm9.gif

Wow... been to The Curve a dozen times, I believe I did see Sony Style... but they do actually have the stock there or must pre-order and wait for weeks/months ?

Also, help me to clarify these :

1. PS3 Singapore version - cheaper, but no games bundle
2. PS3 Singapore version - need to send to Singapore if want to claim warranty for anything
3. PS3 Msia version - more expensive coz of 2 games bundle
4. PS3 Msia version - cannot choose the 2 games, will be 'fixed' or 'given'
5. PS3 Msia vs. PS3 Singapore version - no difference 'inside' the box... e.g. The packaging, the manual, etc. etc. (I noe its not Msian made anyway...!  tongue.gif  )
6. PS3 Msia version - the right choice, coz any issues/repairs can send to Sony Centers...
7. PS3 Msia version - ... is the 80Gb model (Dual Shock 3 controller [vibration])
8. PS3 Msia version - please tell me what are included 'inside' the box package (got HDMI cables ? Ethernet ? etc. etc.)
9. PS3 Msia version - what is the 'average' price to expect of the model ? (e.g RM1,800 - RM1,990)
10. PS3 - where to get the games ? 'Gamers Hideout' ? Where you guys usually get the games ? Order online/retail shop ?

Greatly, grealy appreciated for those who can reply to my undying (noob-ish, and well, first time) PS3 questions...  nod.gif

Malaysia PS3 are totally same as SG unit , MY 80GB and SG 80GB...Some sellers might claim SG 80GB as MY PS3 80GB..Sony Malaysia only accept MY PS3 80GB , SG 80GB sorry nope ( even though both of them share same code CECHK06 )...So carefull with that..

This are some tips how to know its Malaysia 80GB PS3 :

erm any chances of PS3 will get a heavy price cut anytime soon? i have been reading some articles saying that PS3 sales is dropping alot and way behind xbox sales....

The number of sales of 360 more then ps3 , its because most of the owners owned more then 1 ( xbox360 ) due to 3rrod case..3rrod then buy new once , 3 rrod buy another..keep on buying..

What do you mean by choose the unit you want ? Meaning... there are possibilities of 'scratches' or 'minor defects' ?  sad.gif  
it means they had lets say 5 unit left...so they asked me to choose which one i want..so i just choose the perfect packaging ( box ) , but doesnt mean the others aint perfect...all of em perfect cause all new and sealed..btw im also open it at home slowly one by one...not used to open it at the shop , at home u feel more relax when open it...hahah

Lol... i did the same when i bought my x360... spent like 15 minutes choosing the 'best box' and the console lasted me 9 months... !  biggrin.gif

Anyways, I might just get the Remote Control for RM119... I think watching BD movies, it would be easier (or more real) to control the movie with a remote control...

How bout games... what is the best shop to get it... and is the price 'fixed' ?... I was thinking of going to Gamer's Hideout for all my PS3 games...

Also, how is the Blu-Ray movie quality compared to standalone players?
*
well actually the best place to get the games at gamers hideout itself , sungei wang plaza ( any gameshop there ) also good , the price actually almost the same as GH..depends on game...the price would be rm150 until rm230 per games ( depending on what region / the game titles )..all ps3 games are region free , dont worry..even though there`s R1 (US) R2 ( UK & JAP ) R3 ( ASIA ) R4 ( AUS ) * all of them 100% region free games..but for the blueray movies * region locked , for MY PS3 80GB ** REGION(A) and REGION FREE BD movies only...well im using BD remote control too , yea its easy when u wacthing movies..

How complete is SonyStyle's game libray? I was thinking of getting the PS3 with LBP + Asassin's Creed (bundle) and MGS4 + GTA IV. U think they have MGS and GTA in stock?

The only thing holding me back now is the color. I want a white one. U think it's gonna come out soon or it'll never come out in MY? Dang, can't wait to get my hand on the white one.

Any idea which shop gives 0% EPP other than SonyStyle?

Thanks bros. biggrin.gif

dont put too much hope on games library at sony style and sony centre...rumors said there is white and silver console for malaysia market , but dunno when it gonna available..

nothing bad bout it but 100% old stock , cause 40GB models discontinued by Sony..nowdays 80GB take over the 40GB models.
