Thanks for the reply smile.gif But, once again, I'm not in torn between getting ps4 or neo. Just asking if it's still okay for me to buy ps4 now, in the middle of 2016. Let say if they move on to new console and ps4 is dead in 1,2 years time, then there goes my money in the drain.

And again, take into consideration that I'm pretty new at this as I only played games on pc before. So, don't bash me if I said something wrong. Haha.
*
I bought my PS4 back in 2014, no regret having spent enjoyable time with it; even with my PS3 still having many backlog unfinished games (darn you PS+ 'free' games! biggrin.gif )

Having said that, since PS4 Neo release date maybe is this year, why not wait for few months more? If the price replaces normal PS4, then good for you; if the normal PS4 price dropped and you're sure you won't need PS4 Neo extra processing power, then better for you.

Or you can plan your near future gaming ... for me, this year is VR year, next year is 4K year; I'll most probably skip PS4 Neo even though I'll almost certainly will buy PSVR. Next year, when more 4K TVs choices are available (LG 49" with HEVC support is tempting), maybe I'll get a Project Scorpio (heresy!! this is PS thread!! bruce.gif , haha ... Nintendo NX, still not enuf exclusives to get one yet). Then again, with affordable RX480, 4K PC gaming could be another option. In short, it's a great time to be a gamer!

Hi Guru, need to get some information about the PS4 account.

i have 2 PSN account as below.

primary account is with PSN plus. and secondary account is without PSN plus.

if i purchase game from platstation store with secondary account. can i still entilte to play online multiplayer game with secondary account?

Thanks
*
Yes, can.

My PS Plus in US, but I buy mostly R3 disc games; tried those R3 multiplayer online successfully before ... so, digital purchase from PSN store should be the same.

Ooppss ... misunderstood your question.

If my primary account with PSN Plus is US, can my secondary account (which is MY) without PSN Plus play online multiplayer ... I thought I did play online with my MY PSN account before, will try to confirm after this ....

Where can I buy PS4 controllers for cheap?

Also, are there OEM PS3 controllers that I can buy from somewhere? I'm looking to buy it from around the Puchong / Sunway area.

Or should I just walk into any random game shop and buy? I'm not too sure whats the normal price for the controllers so I just don't wanna kena con lol.

Problem is .... most brick n mortar game shops can't offer that cheap, unless got promotion or sales.

If anyone saw other even lower DS4 prices online, can post here?

thanks for ur awesome reply totally understand, but if i subscribe asia psn plus, am i able to download r1 psn plus free game using my us region account?

another question, im planning to get ps4pro at 11/15 can i register psn plus online and redeem metal gear solid first?
*
R2 can be UK/Europe too ... Japan's R2 usually called R2 JP?

Each region PS Plus are separate, so if you subscribe to PS Plus Asia, you're not subscribing to PS Plus US; so, can't download R1 PS Plus free games or enjoy discounts ..., and vice-versa.

Can, can subscribe to PS Plus and redeem MGSV:PP first, no need to press download first; then after you got your PS4 Pro, when you login using your PSN ID with PS Plus, can see the game in your library, ready to download.

Hello...... I just bought a Japan Playstation.....seller already leave a note stating i need a power converter to turn it on.....but i tried it anyway becoz i dont have converter.....its on for 1 second and its off.....

[attachmentid=9319748]

Just one question......what kind of converter  i need? Will this converter work? Thinking about getting this one.....

lelong

Sory.... Have low knowledge about electricity here.... Ha3

You tried to turn it on anyway even though you don't have 240v to 110v transformer? blink.gif

If that's true, burned already lor part of your board. You just fed over-voltage that your JP PS1 can't handle. Malaysia / UK / Europe house voltage is 230v/240v ... JP/US voltage is 110v/120v. The seller already warned you, but you didn't listen or even google first.

But if the burned chip(s) can be replaced by a good technician, you can try lor, but most probably it's not worth it. Ask around if you really want to salvage your freshly fried PS1. Wasted your CH-1001 or 1002 (something?) ...

Wow i screw up big time....

From your explanation looks like psu unit already KO..... But i manage to find psx psu available online..... Direct from US btw..... Worth give it a try.....? Its for 110v US unit....

One problem is just the closest model is scph7501...mine is scph7000 japan unit......can use it or not?

Sorry ... I don't know much about PS1 ... never owned one, no money to buy as student last time. unsure.gif
I asked my friend, he also said maybe the board burned ... but maybe only the power supply.
If don't wanna give up, maybe look at that and replace power supply first lor. A competent electrician should be able to troubleshoot which component no current or voltage passing through.
Or google around, see if got anyone else also experienced that?

Actually, if you really want a PS1, why not look for SCPH1000 ~ 1003 SKU ... some audiophiles believe that the sound chip AKMsomething used in those earlier models are great for Audio CDs.

not available if i login my psn asia account, but US account i can see and there is option to make payment.
If i pay using my US account, i can play right?

Yes, you can buy US PSN games, and playable in other accounts; if not mistaken, as long as all your PSN accounts are activated as primary.

As for paying for US PSN, if you don't have US credit card, then need to buy US PSN prepaid cards ... available from sellers in Garage Sales, and various places (just look around for which offer better rates).

How much is your prepaid? More than RM500?

US PSN limit is USD200 ... MY PSN, couldn't google the official answer, so assume the limit is around 3 or 4 times the price of a full game?

Why is there a limit? To protect both parties lor, if got any problem.

Hi Guys, wanna ask that is there anybody encountered issue of dialogue/voice volume too low (while other sound effect is at normal volume) when playing bluray on ps4? My ps4 is only plugged directly into tv via hdmi, and the sounds are all normal with headphones.

Bothered me for quite some times edi, found google they said it’s because ps4 output sound format  5.1 to tv that only support 2.1 stereo hence the center channel voice is losing. But have no idea how to bring that back. Orz

PS: Doesn't plan to go for 5.1 speakers too, no room for them.

Audio / Sound Setting -> Audio Output -> select 'Linear PCM' instead of 'Bitstream DTS' or 'Bitstream Dolby'?

Not sure lor like dat ... try terbalik setting instead? choose Dolby or DTS, see how.

Or when playing Blu-Ray, adjust the setting then ...

http://www.ign.com/wikis/playstation-4/PS4_Audio_Problems

When playing a movie on blu-ray or DVD, the AV receiver may only detect Linear PCM (Stereo) even if the audio on the movie is set to Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1. To correct the issue:

When the disc is playing, press Options
Go to the Settings menu
Under Audio Format, select Bitstream (Direct)


But your PS4 is connected directly to your TV, not thru any amp/receiver, so not sure lor ...... buy new TV tongue.gif

Your new PS4, should have dual-band 2.4GHz & 5GHz Wifi ... so, doesn't really matter if your home wifi router is on 2.4GHz or 5GHz mode only, or both.

If old phat PS4, then that's only 2.4GHz wifi, can't see 5GHz wifi router.

If your new PS4 can see neighbours' wifi, then try to confirm with mobile hotspot wifi, if PS4 can detect, then source of problem most probably your home wifi router ... troubleshoot it lor ... restart your wifi router, etc. ...

Not less nice games lah, it's just Clueless07 hasn't been following PS for a long time, ... consoles are still thriving, even when many says mobile games has taken over (maybe to some degree); but PS, XBox and especially Nintendo Switch still selling well.

Less post in LYN ... like what iguana said; besides FB group, WhatsApp group chats also, much more convenient to arrange online gaming sessions. LYN only maybe to introduce PSN ID, then chat thru PSN Messenger, or others.

Posts like reviews of games, will usually refer to Metacritic, etc.

This thread PS Kopitiam, I thought more to chit-chat only.
Got PlayStation 4™ Community Official Thread, https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4717450 .
For PlayStation VR™ Community Official Thread, https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3165625
For specific games, one could look for the thread in https://forum.lowyat.net/Playstation
