ya..VERY TRUE..this is the common tricks done by irresponsible dealers/sellers...the most common thing  they do is change the original PS3 lens to the non ori ones,so they can sell the ori ones to other customers..

This is one of the major reason y a lot of PS3 users complaint about dead lens in jz couple of months,or even WEEKS!!!..so beware...

rm1280 is way way to low...we as dealers noe clearly tat this kind of profit(if sell at rm1280) will def not interest any game shop in selling PS3 consoles,unless the shop doesnt want to earn a profit...which i think is impossible.

Std market price should be around rm1350-rm1390...

above are my opinion thanks.

ai brother Ben...alibaba is one crap B2B website full of scammers esp those from China...they offer super super price for all the stuff that they claim Branded and Original..

but they doesnt noe tat all those Branded goods like Sony,Nokia,and etc are controlled by the respective companies...The world factory,China is jz in charge in manufacturing certain parts of the products,the real thing will still be assemble by SONY controlled factories which had pretty much standard price all around the world.

SO,MADE IN CHINA doesnt mean it's cheaper to buy from China...

the only trick distributor does is to play around with world money currency...
