PS3 launching in Malaysia

Sony Malaysia has finally confirmed the official launch event of Sony PlayStation 3 at One Utama, Petaling Jaya on 20th September 2008.

The launch bundle is limited to the first 120 people that lined up on the launch day and it will consist of :
-A standard 80GB unit of the console
-2 PS3 games (one being Soul Calibur IV and either one of these: Assassins Creed, Resistance, Ninja Gaiden Sigma or Ratchet & Clank)
-A limited edition PS3 tote bag and a Soul Calibur IV CD holder
-Sony vouchers worth ranging from RM 1,000 to RM 150

All these for RM 1,799.

For those who can’t made it to the launch event or prefer to buy the console itself without any games, the stand-alone machine will cost RM 1,599 as per yesterday’s press release and will available from 20th September onwards at these Sony outlets across the country.

Now who can please donate me RM 1799 ? For that price you can get a complete entertainment system featuring Blu-ray™ player, HDMI output, an integrated Wi-Fi connection, Cell Broadband Engine™, DUALSHOCK®3 Wireless Controller, and a built-in 80GB hard-disk drive. It is worth the price paid since a stand-alone Blu-ray player is already equal to or even more than the price of a PS3 !
