Sony Playstation® 3 deployed in Malaysia !

hip-hip-hooray !! Finally, Sony Playstation® 3 was launched in Malaysia but it was a sad news for me because I din't own it during the launch date. If not, I think I most probability will be one of the hardcore fans who starts queuing on friday night.. haha too bad.. T_T

The event was held at One Utama shopping complex on the 20th September 2008 where it was situated at ground floor highstreet new wing. The suggested retail price (SRP) for a Sony Playstation® 3 is RM 1,500 (including tax) which it includes a 80GB Sony Playstation® 3 console and one dualshock® 3 controller.

Nevertheless, you can get the official launched package on the launch date itself which it includes a 80 GB Sony Playstation® 3, one SoulCalibur IV game, one selected additional game, one tote bag and one SoulCalibur IV game disc holder which are priced at RM 1,799. To make the launch event even interesting, the first 120 buyers will stand a chance to get cash voucher where 1st-3rd customer will walk away with RM 1,000 Sony cash voucher, 4th-21st customer will walk away with RM 500 Sony cash voucher, 22nd-50th customer will walk away with RM 300 Sony cash voucher and 51st-120th customer will walk away with RM 150 Sony cash voucher.

Besides, the launch event also included a 24 hrs gaming tournament where gamers are competing in SoulCalibur IV game to win attractive prizes which included Sony Bravia™ LCD TV and of course Sony Playstation® 3. Not to forget, there is also the PS3™ game girl competition where female contestants are competing in talent quest, Q&A and catwalk competition to stand a chance to win a 3D2N flight & accomodation to Hong Kong to represent Malaysia in the Asia Game Show and Sony Playstation® 3. For further information about Sony Playstation® 3, you can visit Sony Playstation website and Sony Style website.

By the way, here are some photos taken a day before the launch date with Wai Jin. Enjoy~ ^.^

All the photos were taken by Wai Jin EXCEPT the queue area!! It was taken by me!! because he was too scared to take.. haha but credits to him and his handphone camera. =)

Although I was kinda depressed for not owning a Sony Playstation® 3 console but I'm also happy to see such a event was held in Malaysia. What we can see here is Malaysia are slowly accepting game industries which is a good news for gamers. Hopefully, gaming industry will keep growing in here and more events will be held like E3 and Tokyo Game Show (upcoming games introduction events). okay.. tired already.. Razer signing off~
