The Old DJ Max Technika Locations Thread - Page 38

Loserbait · 11-11-2009, 01:00 AM

Just to clarify my post:
1) Michael Yum definitely has stated that the servers will be online soon.
2) I should have ended that section with a period and clarified further. I've asked a whole bunch of sources (I'd consider them fairly reliable, but no-one direct from PM Studios), and they all have been told that December seems like the release date.

So, whilst it's definitely not concrete information, at least we know it should be sooner rather than later. I wouldn't hold my breath for December though; we all know the delays that have plagued Technika since the license got announced.

well at least we know now that the US Platinum Crew is actually an international one.

btw, Trinoma's machine (thanks to IIzNObBEII again for this)

lols..i just noticed...PH's swiper location is nice >< SG's is at the coin door / the left side of the coin door depending on which branch you are at lol. anyway, forgot to mention but the card is $6 at Zone X.

Tampines 1 - Google Maps

That should be the correct link for Tampines 1

There's one more outlet at WestMall

Timezone WestMall

West Mall, 1 Bukit Batok Central Link, Bukit Batok, Singapore 658713 - Google Maps
West Mall

and for the Zone X outlets, they are at

21 Choa Chu Kang Ave 4, #05-03/04 Lot 1 Shoppers' Mall (Lot 1)

and

60A Orchard Road, #B1-04/05/06 Dhoby Ghaut (NEL) MRT Station at Orchard Atrium (DGOA)

and...regarding the platinum crew, i would guess that SG is either connected to HK's Plat crew, like they did for jubeat, or it is connected to the internation Plat crew...

By the way, how is the Wal-Mart test faring, anyone know?

Koko Ban · 11-14-2009, 10:43 PM

Update!

full info regarding Trinoma's Technika:

^Recent pic of Trinoma's Technika

Timezone Arena TriNoma Mall
Space 4007 Level 4, TriNoma Mall, EDSA cor. Mindanao Avenue, QC
9013536

Note: there are two Timezone Stores in TriNoma: the Main (4015) and the Arena (4007). Technika is located in the Arena one and is beside the UFO catcher.

Machine Build - Final International Build (from PM Studios)

Price - Php 30.00 per play

Platinum Crew cards - Php 300.00 each. They also sell Panda cards for the same price and is quite common there.

IIRC, the designs being sold there are (as of Nov. 14, 2009)

1 Melody - sold out
1 Fate
1 Nae Ge Ro Hwa (come to me)
1 Fury
1 Keys to the World
2 Landscape
5 Panda Cards

btw, according to a fellow player i met there, Timezone ordered TWELVE Technika machines and they will be deploying them on all TZ branches here in the Philippines. 3 machines had been currently deployed (if the first machine on G4 counts, make it 4) as of now. TZ should be finished in deploying the other 9 (or 8) machines by December and then Platinum Crew will go online afterwards.

edit:

i heard Timezone SM Mall of Asia also got their own Technika machine.

google maps

update:

Trinoma's Machine is moved to where the Guitar Hero Arcade's supposed to be: beside the door.

details coming soon

Well, it looks like those of us wanting to play Technika in the Orange County area are pretty much screwed now. The Irvine Boomers location's top screen is FUBAR with no sign of them fixing it (it's been screwed up for over a month now). They're also considering getting rid of it. CGL, the second closest machine to me has been unplayable for a month now (maybe even earlier). It seems to literally choke on songs like it can't keep up. To this day, no one's tried to get it fixed. AI would be the third closest at an hour from where I live and we already know they're losing money so it doesn't look good for them.

So I guess that means that for the time being, us in Orange County won't have a reliable place to play anymore. The closest being either UCLA or San Diego which is not that close at all. I just wish these companies could fix their machines when they start breaking down or something. I'm pretty much going to be forced to retire playing if nothing is done which is kind of a bummer because Technika's still pretty fun.

m-robo · 11-15-2009, 05:16 AM

That definitely sucks but just curious, if only the top screen of Boomers' machine is borked is it still playable?

Zerohiten · 11-15-2009, 06:41 AM

It should be playable still.. This happened to Singapore's first Technika machine before and doesn't seems to affect the gameplay.. Expect more people to crowd around you to watch the performance though >_>

Man that sucks - sorry to hear that. I lived in OC for 2 years. Been to Boomer's - I remember the DDR machines freezing up a while back...

You should try and come down to ucla coinz!

Our very first machine here in the Philippines was from Pentavision directly (as you can see below)

Yup the 'cockblocked' machine is originally purchased from Pentavision (though obviously, the card slot is now enabled for a few months now).

Apparently, it seems that Pentavision let PM Studios (perhaps) handle the sales and distribution for the 2nd machine in G4 and other DJ MAX machines that were ordered for us (along with those coming soon). Either way, we do have more machines and for the locals who are really eager, the online internet service is indeed coming soon

@kyrilsama

Yup same price as other TZ branches. However, I kinda notice that the Megamall branch gives out more bonus load/credits compared to other branches (I guess they have some kind of promo or something)

dragonix · 11-15-2009, 11:24 AM

Now im starting to wonder why the newest machines in SG came directly from pentavision...

30php? wow..thats like SGD 0.80...1.10 cheaper than the machine here ><

Hehe, but in all seriousness, for you Singaporeans, I guess SGD$2 is not too bad considering that SG is more progressive country than ours hence its expected that things are more expensive there than over here in PH.

Granted, it is painful if we ever visit your country to play (due to nasty exchange rate of SGD$1 = >30 PHP

)

Still, if you're looking for the cheapest play to play DJ MAX as of now (November 2009), that title goes to that Wal-mart place in America. That's less than half the price per game we have here lolz :P

Nevertheless, either way, it's positive news that we have many DJ MAX machines locally and internationally and I guess that's all that matters

It is, don't get me wrong. It's just that they charge $1.33 per game, they don't seem to keep up the machine, and they most definitely won't be getting Platinum Crew when it hits if they aren't making enough money from it in the first place.

I plan on visiting my friend there in a week to get some scores on there but like OMGTourettes mentioned, it's more than an hour drive for me and wouldn't be just a place to swing by and play when Platinum Crew comes out.
