Places to Get Video Game Consoles in KL/Klang Valley

My brother called my up yesterday evening, asking whether did I know any shops selling a Nintendo Wii. Now, shops selling Nintendo Wiis are a dime a dozen in KL, but reputable ones, the ones that I would trust buying any console from them, is just down to two.

The trouble was, the forum which I frequent and has the contact details for one of the shops, was down and that shop had no other online presence. So doing these two shops a favour, I'm posting both contact details here.

First up is Gamers Solution, located at City Bazaar along the famous Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, infront of Pertama Complex. I bought my brother's PSP from this place and the boss Bernard Moh and his other half, Crystal, are more than willing to go through the details of using a console, especially if you are a n00b.

Excellent customer service, and pricing as their forum thread can testify. Here's the contact details:

Shop: Gamers Solution
Address: City Bazaar, Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman. Kuala Lumpur. (from the main entrance, to your left)
Contact Details: 03-26977728, 012-3783129, 012-3173079
Contact Person: Bernard/Crystal

The second shop would be Gamers Hideout, located in probably one of the hottest hangouts in the Klang Valley, Cineleisure Damansara, next to The Curve. If there's a place I would go to get an Xbox 360, these are the go-to guys. And they have their own website!

Shop: Gamer's Hideout
Address: Lot LG - 11 (i), Lower Ground Floor, Cineleisure Damansara
Contact Details: 03-77252775
Contact Person: Djinn (Jason)
Website: http://www.gamershideout.com.my

Should you find yourself lost, or unable to find their shops, do call them. And no, I'm not getting paid for this. What's the point of having a video games blog if you've got no shops to recommend. So happy shopping!

CIMB Malaysian Open Squash Championships 2007 - Finals (Pics)

I had a field day last Saturday at the Curve, Mutiara Damansara. It started with the Malaysian Open Squash Championships 2007 finals in the afternoon. Both Azlan Iskandar and Nicol David won their respective finals but pity the opposition were not very spectacular. I would certainly like to see Nicol versus one of the Grinham sisters in the final, that would probably be an exciting but drawn-out match.

Unlike the previous tournaments that were held at Times Square, this time I managed to purchase tickets, and therefore sat throughout the two final matches, instead of good ole-fashion standing at the upper levels and looking down below (LOL).

Here are the pictures, as promised (click for larger views):
