Hi, I also got a question.

I'm staying in Australia and the PS3 price in OZ is now AUD679 (~RM2040) which is about RM400-700 more than the price I can get in M'sia. So my question is... should I buy my PS3 in OZ or in M'sia.

I understand that if I use my PS3 for games... it's perfectly fine to get a SGP set, but if I'm using it as an entertainment system aka dvd/blu-ray player, I'll run into problems right??? Aussie is Region B, according to the faq on pg1. Izzit possible to change the region settings for the PS3 like how we can change the region settings for our laptops...

And then there is the issue of warranty as well...

So in the end... should I get my PS3 in SGP for a cheaper price or in OZ for a dearer price but with OZ warranties.

It's granted I'm getting all my accessories back home in M'sia. The pricing in OZ is killer... RM240 for DS3... ekk...

And on that note... I read on the faq that DS2 can be used through the USB hub... then wat is the use buying DS3. Shouldn't it function the same??

Sorry boss, typo. It's supposed to be RM400-700 more expensive then the SG set. Sorry... Editted it dee...

Anyway, thanks for the info. The OZs very heng on renting their dvds and blu-rays... so i'll still consider it. And with firmware known to brick a few PS3s (very few), is a plane ticket to Sgp worth RM700...

Argh!!! Screw you OZs..
