I checked at Sungei Wang today and found out that the lowest price I can get for a PS3 is RM 1300 (SG set) and need to add RM 170 for MGS 4. Also went to Sony Style at Times Square and found the same promotion as above.
1st game must be Ninja Gaiden and the other one is a selection of 5 games (none MGS 4) + DS3 for a price of RM 1800++
Good thing about Sony Style is you can do easy payment and they wont ask you to pay for processing fee.
Some shop at Sungei Wang also offered easy payment but you need to pay a processing fee of 5% of total price.

I got the brochure for game list at home. Will update tonite when i get back. To me player 2 joypad is only used when I have friends/cousins dropping by and they wanna play soul calibur or street fighter. Most of the time I play RPGs or action games..imo its worth having a 2nd joypad to pwn your friends and family.

QUOTE(ESLord @ Jun 7 2009, 11:01 PM) Was at summit earlier.... actually withdraw cash abt to buy liao after checking the price. Same as previously, Rm 1300 for 80G. The realize din check if it is from MY or SG, so get back to the shop to confirm again... unfortunately, it is from SG. The boss was saying there is little different... etc etc. Even the warranty for MY set is from Sony, but the parts replacement is not included, bla bla blah.... that really sound like sales pitch... i just keep the money in my pocket for time being before commiting. Else regret also no use. Rather paying a little bit more for the sense of security. Just wondering nosfaratu, what are the selections of games at sony style? As promised here are the games you can select; Farcry2 Assassins Creed Little Big Planet Warhawk Fallout3 TBH all are decent titles. But i still want MGS 4

Here's how i see it. After going through the threads here i learned that;
YLOD is the most common problem. This commonly hits the 60gb and 40gb PS3. Less likely on the 80gb version.(But the risk is there)
Lens is the 2nd common problem. Ive seen people using their PS3 to play copy DVD with no problem to those who gets dead lens after 3 or 4 hours play.
No display. Normally setting problem.
Basically if you wanna try your luck going for the SG RM 1300 version might be viable since the lens repair cost is RM 250 and YLOD is around 300.
Basically SG set + unlucky repair = 1300 + 300 = 1600.00
My set 1599
More or less the same. Although there is a chance that the broken part will be broken again. Personally myself I'm still deciding, but leaning more towards the SG set.

QUOTE(dattebayo @ Jun 12 2009, 02:20 AM) i think YLOD repair costs more than that bro... If Sony malaysia do service on all region of PS3, then Singaporean PS3 is indeed a good deal but the fact is, they do not If they service Sg set then nobody will buy the My set. Price diff is too big..
