QUOTE(cylon @ Sep 10 2008, 10:08 PM) What most people neglect to notice that officially launch product would not only entails for warranty but also repair. Imagined after 1 year lapsed, your drive kaputs. You're out of warranty but you still can go back to Sony Malaysia and asked it to be repaired ( chargeable of course). You cant do it with parallel imports. It's been this way with the PS2 and the PSP. you are right on that. i can't help to mention this again on why ppl would continue to make direct price comparison. It is a blessing PS3 is now brought in to Malaysia.. not only does this guarantee us of getting an authentic PS3 (worry free from opened boxes or replaced lens.. etc), it will also ensure our unit is guaranteed repairable by sony (as stated above) and also enabling sony to carry PS3 games in their store as well. to those guys who wanted to get PS3 but was lazy to go and look for one, sony can now ship it to your doorstep via sonystyle..
Added on September 10, 2008, 10:23 pmby the way... can anyone tell if sony is selling games as well in the launch day? i was thinking if i am able to get a voucher.. i might wanna use it to exchange for Disgaea 3.. This post has been edited by Remedy: Sep 10 2008, 10:23 PM |

QUOTE(K-End @ Sep 11 2008, 11:36 AM) it's not about you're willing to pay or not..it about Sony's own Policy. Sony item are covered by Local warranty, not International warranties like some of other brand. even if you put RM 1 Million and ask them to repair the item, they wont do it Well you can pay me RM1 million, i'll take your PS3 and fly to that country and stay in hotel until they fixed your PS3, then fly back and pass to you.
Added on September 11, 2008, 1:28 pmQUOTE(Ruff Bark @ Sep 11 2008, 11:56 AM) Should be the old time of 11:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. However the gaming marathon will begin the day before, most likely in the morning around 10 a.m. wow does that means ppl will start queuing up on the day before already ??? i hope they can make a clear line on where the line starts because even during the midnight.. it will be packed with ppl playing games.. Meaning sony will hire ppl standing at the booth 24 hours on shift?!? This post has been edited by Remedy: Sep 11 2008, 01:28 PM |

QUOTE(acougan @ Sep 11 2008, 10:02 PM) i think they will have line and crowd organizers. but if u are really good SC4 player, u might be playing the tourney while other non-players go "book" their spot on the 19th. but camping whole day sure boring, maybe bring the congkak set and play  I think they might not setup the queue place until 8am.. after which 8am they will open the queue so everyone can rush to get first place.. just like waiting for lift to open.. i wonder how they would make it work.. well.. lets not hope for the RM1000.. i guess RM500 would be more realistic haha. |

QUOTE(maxwongsauwei @ Sep 15 2008, 10:09 AM) guys, a little help here, i was in the sonystyle to make the pre-order and ask for the installment pay with the c.card, they said need to pay extra 2-4% depends on the credit card u use, EVEN with A SonyCard~~~  and they demand a rm 300 deposit per unit (Which is im already paid for 2 unit) the question is, how this extra 2-4% comes for? by the time the sales person explain i not quite sure what he meant....  btw, i was in Sunway Canival Mall (Butterworth,Penang) Sonystyles outlet. a Sales Person call Eddy with a warm welcome smile who served me.  told me that the package comes with Soul Calibur 4 and a selected PS3 games, which is chosable from the 4 title that publish from the official website. just they need to confirmed the booking by paying rm 300 deposit.  my poor wallet.... You sure they can give you the RM1,799 package with SC4 + PS3 game? the last i heard those are only available during the launch in 1Utama... I have a feeling that those sony shops from butterworth/penang will be doing backorder.. and might be slow in getting the PS3. I am from penang also but i'll be driving down to KL for the launch.. feeling safer to get the bundle that way. See all you guys at the launch!  |

QUOTE(jehutyz @ Sep 15 2008, 11:14 AM) You bought with full payment or installment? Yeah.. i think those who bought by full payment credit card will not have the extra % charge while those doing the installment will charge you a small amount for processing fee |

QUOTE(maxwongsauwei @ Sep 15 2008, 12:35 PM) but but but, i ask the other sony centre which is in megamall prai(butterworth penang), they allow me to use the sony card to buy the bravia 32V400 without paying any extra for the installment up to 24 mths.....somemore free 1 HDMI Cable..... tats y im confused...... but anyway thanks for yr info~~~~  You are most welcome bro.. I am just worried that last minute they call you up and told you that was a mistake in the bundle or maybe told you to wait another few weeks before you can get your PS3 while everyone else already order from sonystyle and got theirs. I asked in Queesnbay before and that guy told me they won't be getting ps3 till october.. they can only backorder and no bundle. I hope Eddy knows what exactly it is. FatCat told us once that even in launch .. the RM1,799 bundle is only available with limited stocks (probably for the first 120ppl) even on the launch day. I hope whatever eddy says is true. |

QUOTE(CoLiNJvC @ Sep 15 2008, 02:21 PM) Not "like that also can" lar...  it's really the "enhanced" one, it's the latest model but without card reader and less 2 more usb ports and no ps2 bc.. but it's still nice because it's come with DS3 rather of the "stupid controller which self proclaimed cant add vibrator in it" aka SIXAXIS. and also with local warranty and added up from 40gb to 80gb. it still come with 2 usb ports thou...  and on top of you forgot to mention, the new 80GB actually runs on 65nm processor which saves energy compared to the older 80GB which has PS2 compatibility. |

QUOTE(Xiaodu @ Sep 15 2008, 04:28 PM) impossible will happend chaos just for the sake of PS3...la.. as i know RM1799 still expensive for Malaysian..and can't play pirated games. You don't know how wealthy malaysians are my friend... of course poor guys like us would think like you.. but i have a feeling a lot of ppl might turn up on that day just to see how the event goes. It would be packed.. but to outsell all the 120 bundles.. its still something no one can really predict. But i am sure top 50 of the consoles in that bundle will definitely be sold out on that morning/day. My only hope is beside those bundle.. i hope they let bring in the good games and let us use the vouchers to exchange games like MGS4, Folklore, Uncharted, Disgaea 3. By the way WHO is going to QUEUE OVERNIGHT ? |

QUOTE(petrofsky77 @ Sep 16 2008, 10:46 PM) Guys, I'm in serious need of an advise here. I'm not really a console freak, but i am seriously contemplating to purchase a PS3 unit because it supports Blu-Ray discs and by far is the cheapest alternative to a full flegded Blu-Ray Player which is far more expensive. Should i go for a PS3 or save more money and get meself a dedicated BD Player? I have frens telling me that the movie playback using PS3 is not that accurate as compared to a dedicated player. Is this true? hands down. get a ps3. thing is.. not only it can play blue ray, it has built in wifi.. you can browse the net using your tv and you can upload mp3 / video... and when u are sooo bored. you can play games with it. i don't think any bd player coming in the future would do all that. I came to understand that the firmware of ps3 can get updated from time to time to improve the blue ray compatiblity and performance.. (correct me if i am wrong anyone) This post has been edited by Remedy: Sep 16 2008, 10:53 PM |

QUOTE(petrofsky77 @ Sep 16 2008, 11:17 PM) Thanks for the prompt reply folks, really appreciate it ... Looks like I'm gonna be buying meself the 40GB PS3 after Raya ... wuhuu! I think its quite silly for anyone to get a new 40GB ps3 now considering we can get a good deal from sony for 80GB ps3 with dualshock 3. and also note... your 40GB warranty will not be accept by sony due to its policy for not recognizing parallel import. I believe anyone in their right mind will not get the ol' 40GB also when you aren't sure if that unit was used/opened or parts replaced? just come to the sony launch to get your ps3. |

QUOTE(renabada @ Sep 19 2008, 09:44 AM) now ps3 only can play the original games????? just to ask,newbie here yes only original. its been asked a million times. but just for your info... the reason sony launch it here is because it can only play original, else it won't do this launch and thingy.. also modifying a console won't happen in the next 1 or 2 years. just get the real unit of ps3 because the network games is way cool than letting you play non-original games. |
