Is the 1599 at the Sony shops, on any of the Sony Style shops?  Their site only lists promotional packages which are 1899.

Having a slight dilemma on which console to get.  SG sets are rm1400 now.  Can save 200 bucks and get a game there.

Anyone got any recommendations on which set to get?

Get Malaysian set get usable WARRANTY. if you get SG set, if something bad happens to your PS3, must go to SG or send it to SG.

PS3 is pretty durable though, failure rate is so low.

Hardware failure rate is very very low. But software failure rate is highly possible. System updates can ruin your PS3. Happened to many people already including me last year. Maybe now they have improved i dont know?

Software failures would require bringing the console in for warranty claims?

Actually.. I think you got into one of the bad patches Sony released last year.  I think it bricked the console right?  Don't really recall, I remember there was a bad patch which Sony eventually pulled and released another.

It bricks the console or disables certain functions like cannot read disc. There were a few bad updates not just one. So it might happen anytime.
