Back when Sony Malaysia first announced the PS4 price, I vow not to buy from them. But seems like we might not have a choice now. After reading all 17 pages of this topic, seems like Sony Malaysia will only honour the warranty for console purchased either directly from them OR consoles purchased from Sony in another SEA country. They will however accept the warranty for consoles purchased from resellers or regular shops but requires much ding-dong-ding-dong.

But having said that, neither Sony Malaysia or local resellers/shops has the solution to BLOD yet. Why? Coz the only solution for BLOD now is 1-to-1 exchange and they are all out of stock. Therefore, the 'technician diagnostics' is just another way to stall.

Support you bro! If your case success, it will become one good case study for those who dont know WTF is SEA Regional Warranty.

SO,
After I've spoken with someone from SONY Service Centre:
1) Console is to reach on tomorrow from HK, and most likely to reach to the curve on Monday. They will call me back again after they have the ship schedule.

2) I was the first to sent to their service (that's what they said) which then makes me on the first of the list to receive.

3) Regarding on the on the spot exchange:
I've been told that as far as she knows, there isn't anyone got on the spot exchange, because stocks are very limited.

4) SONY Malaysia purchase vs. Retailers.
- SEA Regional warranty goes towards all as long as it is SEA warranty.
- It is a first come first serve process to repair / replace.
- However, back to the point 3, if there are people who bought the console from SONY Malaysia during launch, and found broken and send back to the SONY Malaysia (for example the curve), they MIGHT have a chance to get 1to1 replacement on the spot PROVIDED there are stocks left. If not, things will still go back to the normal process - First come first serve regardless on SEA or SONY Malaysia.

5) +2years extended warranty.
The practice was only for those who purchased from SONY Malaysia will be entitled. HOWEVER, this was for their other gadgets, and since SEA warranty is new, they will check again and double confirm with me.
