If I have to be honest, I can't say I have much sympathy for anyone who dares to buy first batch of this kind of hardware, KNOWING FULL WELL that in addition to high chance of hardware failure, Malaysia isn't exactly the bastion of consumer rights either. The feeling of being one of the first owners doesn't matter when risk of something like this happening is way too high.

But hey, over 1.5k is a hella lot of money. I wish you good luck.

Read my original post again. You people should already know what kind of country Malaysia is. Its level of customer service in general. Its level of consumer rights awareness.

I know all about regional warranties PS4s in ASEAN are supposed to come up with, but is the risk worth the reward? Look at the comments in here yourselves.

I'm not saying everyone should stay apathetical. Our current state of consumer awareness does need improvement, and Sony Malaysia should step their game up. That doesn't mean it's a bright move to pull such risky move as buying a first-batch PS4.

The sellers should improve their goods and services, yes. At the same time, we need to make smart decisions too so that they(the sellers) won't halfass their goods and services because if we don't, they won't improve. I mean, what's the point when people are gonna lap up and buy that shit anyway?
