Im in abit of a dilemma right now... As you all know, the PS3 slim was just launched on the 1st of September.... Problem is in Malaysia (where im from) its not even here yet and calling Sony Malaysia only got me as far as "we have not recieved any information on a PS3 slim yet, sir"... And the phat (80GB)still costs $399here!!!Rumoursof its released went from 20th September to 30th September and now The 31st of October!!!! (cant wait that long as i have a long year of boarding school on the 25th of october!!!!)Now here is where my dilemma comes in... Even though its not released yet here, local shops and gamestores (not Sony affiliated) are already selling the Slims!!! BUT they're not local sets (mainly the US and HK sets)... This means that the warranty is not covered by Sony Malaysia.... I could wait till atleast early February to get the local set or i could get it (US or HK sets)next week.... Put yourselves in my shoes... What would you guys do?.... Is the warranty the only thing im missing out on? or can i just send it to Sony in the respective countries if i do decide to get it now?

This forum has helped me out alot b4.... just need abit more.... i really want to get my first ps3.... hahaha hope you guys can help me out!!

I would get one now, but I like to live dangerously.

As a new slim owner, I would recommend getting it as soon as you can, by any means possible. If I were you I think that I would take the risk of buying one coming from another country, especially since it is completely region free. Ps3's in general have a much lower failure rate than Microsoft's Xbox, so I would risk not having a warranty.

Why dont you shop around and get yourself a 80GB that works fine in your area and is covered by warranty?

I was gonna get a slim till i managed to see a brand new80gb-£50 cheaper.And after all,it does exactually the same as the slim,just got less HD.
