betty boop Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 forget australia, just get it from HK for $750 and i believe they are not zoned eitherthis is what i will be doing john I think you'll find they are zonned unless the chinese pirates worked away around this. means it will not play local region discs and you'll need to import discs or be very carefull to find region free ones. good price though in HK. theyd probably sell a ton more of them here if they sold for that locally.

Jitu Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 Yaa thats the thing. For ppl in aussie if we purchase from japan or somewhere we have to buy movies from there as well.. Which is i think a on goin pain :-s besides In japan it is 750 AUD and in Jb hifi i guess u can get it 960/970 so the diff is about 210/220 dollar but think the amount of time u can save later on .. plus just incase if something happens with japansee console u've to send ur console all da way back to japan where as if u buy it from here.. it is gonna be a lot easier in this case What do u think guys?

Guest JohnA Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 thats the risk you take when purchasing overseas my wife goes to HK twice a year for work so i have no problem purchasing from there and i'm sure you can get it even cheaper if you try i purchased my sanyo z4 last year from HK for $1300 haven't had a single problem with it and saved a bundle, even declared it at customs and didn't pay anything extra on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest EZYHD Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 What is the weight of the PS3 console?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigus Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 For ppl in aussie if we purchase from japan or somewhere we have to buy movies from there as well.. Note strictly true. Yes you have to buy them from the same region (unless the disc it all regions). Which for a Japanese / HK console include the US, which is a HUGE benefit in my books. i.e. you can buy from Amazon, etc. Prices are and will be cheaper for a while, plus the selection is enormous in comparison to the local selection!

Hydrology Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 FWIW Ive ordered (like many others did some weeks ago) a 20GB PS3 with free DHL shipping from YesAsia for US$499 - works out to about AU$615 delivered. Sitting in Singapore today so wont get it till Monday, although I may drive to the depot tomorrow and see if I can pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JohnA Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Ok got it so U guys prefer to buy one from playasia (Doubt with warrenty) or from local market? that is totaly up to you if you want warranty then purchase locally, if you aren't fussed grab one from HK we can't make that choice for you Maybe just hang off a couple of months and see if prices start to come down here in Aus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
