what set are you buying?
80gb malaysian set?

what did they say is in the package?(or is it just console only?)

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/818933
go this page.. and download the latest firmware using your PC..FW2.70

otherwise.. it will pain in the arss.. to download the firmware using PS3

i dont think GH would try to screw you over,so as far as the actual set is concerned,i think you're pretty set with it.

just remember to:
buy a HDMI cable.
dont have to be a 500 bucks cable..30 bucks also good enough

i think that's it

nothing much else,really..
just get the games you feel you're interested in.

other parts of the system is pretty similiar to the 360(get demo,test,like,buy..rinse repeat XD )

oh yeah.
also remember to sign up for as many PSN accounts as you can (SGP,US,Uk,JPN,etc)
different PSN Stores offer different demos/downloads/etc

320 gig hdd roughly around 300rm or less or something like that. i forgot already i upgraded mine long ago.

tempted to upgrade

at least you'll be on 80..im on 40 atm  
so imagine downloading demos,and having to delete them just as a new demo comes out.

the only ones i havent deleted so far are the rare or cant-be-found-anymore demos like the GT5P demo/GTHD.

btw,you're going to GH all the way from cyberjaya?

1. Go for Malaysia Set PS3 ( 1 Year Warranty by Sony Malaysia )
2. HDMI Cable ( if u have LCD TV )
3. HDMI to DVI cable ( if u wanna connect it to LCD monitor )
4. Dual Shock 3 ( buy another one for 2nd player mode )
5. Wireless keypad
6. Headset for PS3
7. KILLZONE 2 

If it hasnt changed, the video/movie DLC are IP-locked to USA IP only even though you are using a USA PSN ID.
Sorry I forgot to update the first post. To register a Malaysian PSN ID, you have to register via PS3.

thx for the reply. what is DLC?
oh so i still can buy other regions to play with MY set? ie. R1,R2? xD normally i c ppl buying/selling more of R3 games?

Hmm, relating to the Q2, kinda lost u there..kinda noob at the terms o_O sry 
so example if i were to buy LCD monitor let's say samsung 22"..what cables to i need to buy? xD

ooo okok o_O but if i'm not mistaken i think i saw R1 and R2 games cheaper at the forum de..hmm

Q2 getting more complicated 
if i asked the sales person or whoever, they should know rite? xD

hmm, is buying in June considered soon?

so only to confirm that console si ORI?

example of serial number 02-29736529-1062835-CECHK06 , so u just enter 297365291062835

the red bold number is the 15 digit number.
