Playstation Playstation 3 Buying FAQ / SKU Guide

[Sarmad]

now a question from me.
how much ps3 w'll cost if i import it from uk?, i mean including tax/custom (if applicable)

It will be like 28K.

 

[Hamza Resisted]

Ok Here you go now !! I had the same Idea and well i regretted i ever thought about it :
1.PS3 = $400 = Rs.32,000
2.From UK to Pakistan with 10KG = Rs.11,000

And so your total is like 44,000 Rupees only 1000 rupees less then buying an 80GB here !!
If you think I am wrong then go check TCS's site !!

If you get a cousin to get it for you and bring it along when he comes here then no custom charges will apply !!

Which controller does come out with PS3 40 gb or any other model? Sixaxis or DS3? And the rumble function of DS3 is better than PS2's Dualshock controller?

 

[SolitarySoldier]

DS3 is bundled now with all PS3 models

heard that DS3 have more differnt types of vibrations than PS2's DS2

 

[Joker]

^ correct me if i m wrong. but i think 40Gb version still comes with a six axis.

@coolsad. theres is still no guarantee about custom charges. check out my thread about duties on electronic items. u will see all kinds of stories there.

^ yeah 40GB is with SIXAXIS except MGS4 Bundle

but now 40GB is discontinued, and all other PS3's (80GB and 160GB) comes with a DS3 controller

Joker,

YEs i have chechked that thanks, I M not ordering it now as my cousins will be comming in next Xmas. cant wait .
Anyways, can anyone tell me the price of the ps3 80 GB ds3 bundle from sony centre lahore. What is the scene about Warrenty claim??

 

[Sarmad]

They are giving warranty of their own. No official Sony warranty. Price is about 42K. The price is very high.

 

[Joker]

@coolsad. dont buy it from official sony display centres. they are just sitting there to rip ppl off. i checked the prices of ps3 and psp and they were way too much.

PS3 40GB --> 44 k
PSP 2000 ---> 25k

Joker,

 

[Sarmad]

PS3 40BG for 44k

 

[coolsaad141]

sooo overpriced....Sony Centre Should be closed

 

[splitfiredaewoo]

How will i know that the PS3 i'm buying is new and not used by the shopekeepers themselves? Is there some kind of seal on the box or what?

Thanks.

 

[SolitarySoldier]

^ There was'nt any seal on my PS3 but you can judge it from it's condition and the accessories. The PS3 will be covered with a white foam paper or whatever it is called, of course scratchless and you can check the date on warranty card, date can be around a month or two older.
