i wanna buy ps3, what spec should i consider?. dvd drive model?, region?, etc?..
All PS3 model can play DVD. For Blu-ray movies, it will be region locked depending on what region you buy your PS3.
All PS3 games are region free. It only matters if you are playing on a SDTV (480p resolution). What this means is that if you buy an NTSC PS3 and play PAL region games using 480p resolution, you won't be able to play it. Your PS3 will complain that the game cannot run on the display settings.
If you are playing on a HDTV LCD (720p, 1080i or 1080p) then you should be fine.
As far as I know, most of the PS3 specs that you can get nowadays in Malaysia (including official Sony product), don't have support for SD card, memory stick, CF card. But that should be fine because you can still use your USB thumb drive to transfer data. Wi-Fi/Ethernet supported, no PS2 backwards compatibility support.
Hard disk drive is upgradable, so don't worry if you get only 80GB hard drive. You can easily buy a 2.5" SATA HDD from any shops at Lowyat plaza or Digital Mall or Sungei Wang or Imbi Plaza or any computer shops and put it into your PS3.
