Finally! This will force Microsoft also to officially launch Xbox 360 and Xbox Live, else ....

I'm an avid gamer, but don't think my wife will approve camping out to que for PS3. You younger lads can carry on!
*
Micro$oft will never launch xbox here because of one thing that is very rampant in Malaysia and that is PIRATES! Because of all the piracy going on here and because of the cheap attitude of most gamers here prefering to spend RM1 for a game rather then paying RM169 for Halo 3, Micro$oft will only launch Xbox here when our copyright laws are enforced tightly.

Sony should have launch PS3 here at the same time when MGS4 was launched. That will make everybody who didn't buy a PS3 yet to queue like mad. But better late then never.

If Sony Malaysia had any brains in their marketing they would have bundled the PS3 with a hot game like MGS4 and not some lame title like SC4. But since they are now revising the price of the PS3, it shows they have no brains.

its the other way around they are smart, by not bundle those games and revised the prices, as there much profit to be made by the damand/marketing hype build up everywhere (including here). it might just make them sell stuff pricer than any parallel import goods. It happens too many times... living in this country with not much consumer rights, sux... haizz  sweat.gif

i have lost much hope in localized console stuff, so far no a single gadget have benifits after being localized, price , packaging nor quality controls. I just hope they bring in singapore goods (console and games) and sell it exact price at singapore is enough for me.

and i PRAY FOR NO LOCALIZED GAMES ,PSN still acceptable if the content are singapore or us version,  i dont wana play Gear Besi Keras 4, or caliber jiwa 4.... LMAFO..... sweat.gif  doh.gif
*
There will be no localized games like "Gear Besi Keras 4", because Asia region is controlled by Sony Hong Kong. So all R3 games will either be in English, Chinese or Japanese. Reading your translation of MGS4 and SC4 to BM made me laugh until my stomach hurts biggrin.gif. God forbid they localize games because I won't buy them either. I rather buy my games from Singapore like you.

Since Sony Japan is going to make an annoucement about the 80GB PS3 for Asia region, I bet it will be the one that is bundled with the Dualshock 3 because that is what the US and Europe is getting. They will be stupid to sell those old stocks that comes with SixAxis to Asia only because nobody will buy it.

As for Malaysia PSN, the content and updates will sure be the same as Hong Kong and Singapore PSN because Asia region is controlled by Sony HK. So you can be rest assured we won't be getting MGS4 with a ridiculous title like GEAR BESI KERAS 4 or Silent Hill: Home Coming translated to BUKIT SENYAP: BALIK KAMPUNG tongue.gif

The 1 year warranty is a standard local warranty, so you can't use it internationally.

And the news you guys have been waiting for:

The DS3 controller WILL be bundled with the console.

Start lining up guys. wink.gif
*
If I didn't bought my PS3 already, I would line up for this since the bundle now comes with the DS3 and 80GB PS3. IMO the price is still reasonable because you are also paying for the warranty.

the PS3 at launch will be the 80GB Asia Region 3 version. Sony will continue to sell the PS3 after the launch but don't expect any bundle of games to come with it.

For guys like you and me who already bought PS3, of course we won't queue up to buy. I think those who are going to line up are either people who want a cheap blu-ray player or people who were waiting for sony to launch it here.

I have voice my opinions numerous times on the thread ,
how Soul calibur 4 should not be used as a Tournament fighting game right now
Apparently the host decided to 'TOTALLY IGNORE' (yes') my comments.
Its fine. And when I voiced my comment, I get shut up as 'JUST A GAME
WHY DO YOU TAKE IT SERIOUS? '

You will see when there are a tons of problem, unfair char, button mapping,bugs...
when someone won the match with these problems, they will be receiving even more complains.

As much as I love this game, but I have to be honest, its rushed,
its broken. Many problem have to be fixed and banned by patches first.

It will be interesting to see some 12 years old who just learn to abuse
the infinite in the game won the whole match and shock the whole contest attendees.
*
instead of SC4, they should have used Virtua Fighter 5. You can't cheat in this game and I don't think there's any bugs too. Also you can't win VF5 by simply button mashing like SC4.

so now, if the ps3 alone is rm1599, no warranty?
only the package(rm1799) got warranty?
they mention one free game, can choose from resistance 2 and what else?
*
Sony is not going to give away their NEW game Resistance 2 which is coming out on November, for free to you. They are giving away the first Resistance game that came out in 2006 when the PS3 was launched in USA.

why sony wanna give the psu..?
i tot the ps3 internal psu is universal...

someone made a mistake by showing the picture of the psu. the ps3 has a built in universal psu. it has been that way since the ps3 was launched in 2006.
even the pic of hdmi cable and lan cable is a mistake because the ps3 doesn't come with hdmi and lan cable. it only comes with a standard AV composite cable for SDTV. if you want hdmi you gotta go buy it yourself.
i think someone in sony malaysia is going to lose his job for posting those pics online... whistling.gif

thats why, sony should hav include something better in the bundle package instead of that weired looking bubble thingy with the soul calibour4 sticker on it. .

what are you people complaining about? you guys should be grateful that sony is launching PS3 here at all and not complain about the bundle. we are lucky to get PS3 to launch officially here compared to xbox which will never be launched here at all due to rampant piracy and cheap skate gamers.

Hm...only 120 units?
I think this is just a gimmick. No way, Sony will do this. The main purpose is to create a hype and make more people to come.
Later, we realize it's not limited edition at all. tongue.gif

Sony didn't say anything about a limited edition bundle. this is not MGS4 bundle which you can call limited. this is just a promotion, not a gimmick. if you don't like it, don't buy it.

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. biggrin.gif
*
I got my 40GB one month before MGS4 was launched here. So I have no regrets because I couldn't wait to play MSG4 back then. But if you are one of those who still haven't got a PS3 yet, then now's a good time to get it especially when Sony is launching it here with the latest SKU and together with 1 year warranty.
