lol, looks like a typo there. I'll let Sony Malaysia know.

BTW, I've some answers to the questions that you guys posted earlier. I've copied-pasted most of his answers here with some of my own notes added.

1) When will the official website to pre-order the Sony PS3 bundle be up? In addition, when will the website to register for the Gaming Marathon and Game Girl contests be online?

All this will up on 8th September.

2) What model will the PS3 console be? US or Asian version?

Asian version

3) What colors will be available for the console? Only piano black, or will the white/silver color model be available?

Only black

4) Is it possible to buy the console only without the games?

The games are free, no rebate even if they decide not to take the games

5) Is the offer of RM1699 only valid on the day of the launch, or will it also be valid at Sony Stores after the launch? If it’s only valid on the day of the launch, how much is the bundle RRP after the event? (note: I asked this question a few days ago before they announced the price and bundle revision)

Final price for this launching will be rm1799, yes it will be valid in sony store, but will be different packages. FYI they wont be able to enjoy the cash voucher if they missed this

(note: I'm assuming that the original bundle still stands, but now it's priced higher at RM1799)

6) Will Malaysia get its own PlayStation Store Network?

Will be available by end of year. Actual date to be confirmed

7) Will the console bundle come with a DualShock 3 controller or not?

No, you will need to purchase it cry.gif

8) What are the PS3 titles that buyers will be able to choose from when they buy the bundle, besides Soul Calibur IV?

Aside from SC4 -  assassin creed / resistance / ninja gaiden / rachet and clank

9) Will Credit Card transactions be accepted at the event? Or is it cash only?

Credit card is accepted. You can pay in installments to up to 12 months, but it's only for Maybank Credit Card users.

10)  Will there be any other promotions, events, or activities on the day of the launch?

Game tournament from 19-20th and the game girl competition. (note: will post this up later today)

Bro Ruff Bark,

How about warranty of PS3 sets that was purchased from other regions, do you have information that
Sony Malaysia will accept them, instead of us having to send the unit back to SG,Japan,US etc...

Hope you have this information, thanks thanks a lot !

Some good and bad news! First the Bad News:

The warranties for PS3s bought from other regions will not be covered by Sony Malaysia (note: I kinda expected this). However, I'm told Sony Malaysia is still looking into this matter.

The (maybe) Good News:

When I asked my contact about the DS3 controller, it seems there might be some confusion over whether it will be bundled together or not.

Initially I was told that the PS3 model that will be sold on the launch day is the CECHK model, which according to Wikipedia is the latest one (i.e. no BC, SACD, and flash card reader). However when I pointed out that the latest bundle should come with the DS3 controller, he said that he'll get back to me.

There's a possibility that he may have been confused about my earlier email; maybe he thought I was asking whether the bundle will come with an extra DS3 controller. So it's possible that the bundle *will* come with the DS3 controller after all. Hopefully by the end of today I'll have confirmation.

If it doesn't come with a DS3 controller, I'm told that the cash voucher can be used to buy the DS3 controller on the day of the launch.

Bro Ruff Bark,

Thank you very much for your info, i really hope that Sony really looks into this matter seriously regarding the warranty, since to the customer eyes i bought a sony product, so sony MY should help us if there is problem. Normal customers won't know whether its from MY or SG or US or HK... etc
