PSP Price in Malaysia

Filed in: Gadgets, Malaysia — May 2nd, 2005

Sony Playstation Portable (PSP) Value Pack
Some were asking about the Sony Playstation Portable(PSP) price in Malaysia. I don’t have the info in hands, so I ask for them in local newsgroup.

Here is Mark Ng‘s reply:

Yep, both US and Japanese versions are available. Japanese version costs around RM1000 or less. The US one is about USD$200 more(RM1200+).

Some shops are even carrying UMD Video. Most of them are Region 1.

Avalaible in Imbi Plaza, Sungei Wang, 1 Utama, MidValley Megamall and lots more.

My two cents

Seems like PSP is not as expensive as I thought. Check out PSP hacks for more things you can do with a PSP.

Update: PSP is more affordable nowadays, which is under RM1000.

    to all who wanted to buy a psp,if u want to buy,dont buy the red or bronze (or any other color) from local dealer.they might be recon set.especially the two color i mentioned before.if u want those better get from sony dealer.the other 6 color, they MIGHT NOT all be recon set.
    i bought white 1 befor,then go change a red 1 2days later (cos its so pretty).then when i look closely(i like to look avery detail.but after i got home oready) then i feel like my red psp aint the real thing.the body looks ok from outsid.but when look on the inside u’ll find that the color is different from the outer 1.maybe its the real thing.but maybe its not as well.its made in china.deep red are suppose to be limited edition, but as u can see, many are sold by our local dealer.
    no worry bout the performance.they perform well as a psp.no problem.its just that if u are afraid u might get a recon set, then my advice,avoid buying the limited edition(deep red n bronze only.the starwars,ff7 n GOW might be fine) from our local dealer.

    Alright bro’.Looks like you’ve got yourself in some deep problems.This problem can be solved pretty easily,using a Pandora’s Battery.

    A Pandora’s battery consists of a jigkick battery and a magic memory stick.Confused eh? No worries.The jigkick battery is actually a standard psp battery and the memory stick is the standard Sony/Sandisk one.

    Now to create a Pandora’s Battery,you’ll need access to an already hacked psp.If you do have it,inform me and i’ll help you make one.If you don’t,then you might have to buy one off the internet for a pretty hefty price OR open up the psp battery and hardmod it.

    The best way is to softmod it using a hacked psp.Cheers bro’.Tell me if you don’t understand any of the above.I’ll explain even more then. :)

    Charmander,not he can’t seeing that official firmware 3.93 can’t run the installer nor any other homebrew.In fact,the only official firmwares that can run homebrew are 1.00 and 1.50.Using some hacks.(HEN),tiff homebrews can be played on 2.71 official firmware.

    Alright jim666,i knew that you’d be confused.Now,as i told Charmander earlier,you can’t run homebrew on an official firmware psp except for 1.50 and 1.00.That means,when you try doing so on an official firmware psp,you would get an error.The exact error that you got.

    Now,i’ll explain.

    A psp boots up from flash 0 which is your psp life where all the important stuff are situated in.Your main menu,video and everything.So now,what the Pandora’s Battery does is that,it boots your psp to the memory stick instead of the flash 0.And this is a very good hack for users can use it to install any firmware over their current firmware.

    Example : You’ve got 3.93 official firmware.Now when you insert a Pandora’s Battery,with the memory stick firmly placed in already,your psp will auto-boot and it’ll bring you to a menu where you can install custom firmware on your psp.

    Themes :
    Well,for the moment,you can’t use CTF/Flash 0 themes.You however can use PTF themes.Search for some PTF themes in Google,and place the .ptf file in PSP/THEME.Once done,go to themes and select it.Then boom,the theme is installed.

    Hope you understand mate :)

    mufcmy,no idea about Johor lol.
    Yes,once a psp has custom firmware installed on it,users can run dumped games on it.When you buy a psp set,it most probably would have custom firmware on it,so no worries.

    lol i don’t know much.

    PMR 2 months to go :( :(

    This is a message by our fellow friend Charmander who is facing several difficulities posting here so he told me to post it for you all to read.Here:

    “to all who want to buy a new psp especially the slim model.i suggest u go buy from original sony dealer.u can buy from the locals but do be careful with the cheap price.u might get a recon set.
    i got my new slim.it was a white colored model.probobly a japan set as it has a 1seg program on it.then i changed to a deep red color (sexy) after 2 days i got the white 1.this 1 doesnt have any 1seg.the body looks like its a recon set.im not sure.what made me think its a recon is when i look closely the color of the battery cover and the front cover, theyre slightly different.its like it was sprayed with red colored paint.so for any1 who really pays a close intention to details. get ur psp from original sony dealer. as for me. i dont really mind as long as it function well. :)

    readz,well it’s pretty cheap compared to the hefty price tag it had before.Go to Lowyat Plaza or Sungei Wang and roam around till you find a deal which your feel is reasonable.
