PS3 , WII , xbox360

This is the sad situation in Malaysia:

Price of consoles:

Playstation3 : Rm3000+
Nintendo Wii : Rm 2100
xbox360 : Rm1400

Price of games:

Playstation3 : to be determined
Nintendo Wii : Rm250
xbox360 : Rm140

How can the Nintendo Wii be so expensive you might ask ? Well , they import from the U.S. Even then , its USD 250 right ? and convert to Rm , which the exchange rate is 3.5. So technically , the Wii should only be about a thousand right ? But no, Rm2100 !!

And don’t even get me started on the Ps3. Terrible launch reviews and the Blu-Ray drive forced upon us ! ( that alone , made each console cost USD200 more ) . It’s not out in Malaysia yet, but according to Sony salesmen, the price is estimated to be Rm3000+. Holy SHIT !!

And that leaves us with the final and least expected option. The Xbox360. Priced at a reasonable Rm 1400 , superior online service and the killer-app , Gears of War. I’m even tempted to get this !

As for me, I’m sticking with my Ps2 and Final Fantasy XII , thank you.
