I just learned another lesson in purchasing CE stuff from Sim Lim.

Never take the opening price at face value. Even after bargaining down, ASK about other costs first before whipping out the plastic.

My gawd, after buying the PSP for The Paladin I was then told that he would require a gazillion more components in order to get it to work comfortably. "Well, my pally friend just needs to make it work on his own…friendship can only go so far", I thought to myself.

What irked my the most is that there was actually a better bargain in the basement…yea…bargain basement…dang it…

Its been too long since I bought anything from Sim Lim. Must bear these lessons in mind when buying new PC from there.
