2 years later, the PS3 officially arrives in Malaysia
Consumer electronics giant Sony Malaysia Sdn Bhd has officially launched the PlayStation 3 (PS3), with an 80GB version of the popular videogame console that sells for RM1,599.
The PS3 is part of Sony’s vision of delivering full high-definition entertainment to the home, Sony Malaysia managing director Naoi Sudo said at the official launch at the 1-Utama shopping centre here on Saturday. “The PlayStation 3 isn’t just another videogame console; it is a complete entertainment system with Blu-ray playback and integrated Wi-Fi connectivity that allows you to surf the Web from your living room,” he said.
Despite having arrived here nearly two years after its worldwide launch in the United States and Japan, the Malaysia market -- with its young demographic -- is an important one for the company, Sony Computer Entertainment Asia president Tetsuhiko Yasuda claimed.
