QUOTE(chiahau @ Feb 22 2016, 04:58 PM) Retail business's dead + they usually impose CC surcharge. Buy from Lazada get CB lagi  I got my Ps4 from Lazada back in January at only RM1,192.40 (after getting additional 12% discount by using MasterCard, original Lazada price back then was RM1,355) With the money saved on Lazada, I bought 3 in 1 PS4 Masterpiece collection from 11 Street.com at RM246 (include Last of Us remastered, Helldivers Super Earth Edition and God of War). This 3 disc combo is sold in retail store for over RM350. Yeah, game store is not very relevant already with their expensive price for both console and game disc. Long live online store!

QUOTE(panda-man @ Feb 23 2016, 08:47 AM) hahah. damn lucky. now the price drop on lzda to 1385. but its under 'sensational deal' so no CC discount well they gotta pay their rental i guess. but retail is really expensive now that online is available. when i lived in beijing i think i bought retail only for really small stuff... rarely. even like RM1 items ill buy online. got free shipping maaa. hahahah. my friend just bought a 1tb PS4 over there for RM1500 (should be RM1200, but exchange rate).. damn cheap. hais.... i guess need to wait for sensational deal to finish then can use CC again and cashback  on lazada it says this for version: Version : CU-1206A is that the newer ones? Yes CU-1206 is latest model, with quieter fan, slightly less power consumption and physical button instead of touch control. But it also loose the glossy plate which make the console looks like a cheap piece of plastic. But functionality is more important right?

Anyone can advise whether Streamyx 4mbps is good enough to play PS4 online multiplayer?  My area has no Unifi so I can only sign up for this speed. The PS Plus promo of 12mth+1 mth free seems nice but I wouldn't want to take the plunge if the speed is not good enough to take advantage of online gaming. Thanks

QUOTE(panda-man @ Feb 24 2016, 02:28 PM) not sure if this is possible as i'm ps4 noob but i dont see why it wouldnt work. got any friends with ps+? ask if you can use their username and login and then you can test out PS+ from your home. if ok then cool. if not, then took your friends 5 mins and a little bit of your time. Nope, none of my friends own a PS4. I actually subscribed 1 month PS Plus earlier in order to buy DriveClub at special discounted price, unfortunately the subscription lapsed exactly the day I got connected with the Streamyx,  so out of luck to truly test the online multiplayer performance. Anyone out there using Streamyx 4mbps who could advise on the online performance?

QUOTE(wonger @ Feb 24 2016, 04:27 PM) The US PS+ got 2 weeks free trial period. Maybe you can try that~ https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/...08-PSPLUSMEMBERFrom the terms and condition, I believe they require us to set up our e-wallet with the US PS Plus in order to enjoy the 14 days free trials. So far I haven't set up any US PSN account yet. I'm not really into online multiplayer, but I've already hit the solo limit in Helldivers where it is virtually suicidal to attempt those difficult planet alone  . Currently level 19 helldiver

Just sharing regarding my earlier question about using Streaymx 4Mbps playing online multiplayer on PS4. Finally got to test it out on Helldivers, the speed seems to work fine and there is no lag or drop out.

QUOTE(panda-man @ Feb 24 2016, 04:11 PM) quick questions in regards to network/online play. probably insignificant... but was curious... 1. Does the length of LAN cable matter? My PS will be 2 meters from my router... but the cable im using for my PS3 now is 12 meters (i think. maybe 15)... does it matter? or should i use a shorter cable? 2. is it faster to plug straight into modem rather than router? I think you'll have better luck getting your answer in the broadband section forum with all the sifus there, if you can comprehend their technical jargon.....

The March PS4 free game is so lame, I'm okay with side scrolling or even 2d graphic game, but pixelated game is a big no no. Pixelated graphic is not a graphic style, it was limitation of old technology from 20 plus years ago, it should be a crime for indies to crank out pixelated graphic on a modern gaming console that make your eyes bleeds in the guise of "graphical style".

Your home minister would tell you in your face that her free games on her mobile phones/tablets look thousands time better than your "next gen" console.....  .... and she would be right

QUOTE(syaigon @ Mar 2 2016, 11:09 AM) i believe the game tries to invoke a sense of nostalgia from oldfag gamers..... like myself I would prefer developers invoking sense of nostalgia by replicating retro game style (side scrolling/top down scrolling shooter etc.) instead of pixelated graphic. I can't imagine playing this game on 55" or larger FHD tv, least those who have gone 4k...... Oh look, that pixel could be a handgun... or perhaps a middle finger.....  I would pay to play Super Contra, Double Dragon or Castlevania in "remastered" version with super crisp sprites, but not in its original form in year 2016.

BTW, Super contra, Double Dragons and Castlevania have higher detailed sprites (higher pixel count) than this BroForce.....

QUOTE(syaigon @ Mar 2 2016, 11:35 AM) yup i'm bloody old  Gaming is no longer a kids/youth thing especially in the West, some play until golden age.... hehehe  . Hence the reason why nowadays the Hollywood Blockbusters are filled with comic/video games inspired movies. Because most of the adults (their target consumers) still cling on to their childhood hobbies way after reaching maturity or perhaps should I say seniority.... With the Virtual Reality coming, gaming will become a serious adult hobby

QUOTE(syaigon @ Mar 2 2016, 11:52 AM) Star Wars was not inspired by comic or video games, it's the other way around. Movies inspired by comic/video games: Spiderman/Superman/Incredible Hulk/Avengers series movies, Doom, Mortal Kombat movie, upcoming movies like Warcraft and Batman vs Superman.... and the Justice League

QUOTE(pokchik @ Mar 2 2016, 12:38 PM) *cough* minecraft *cough*  Minecraft can be excused because it is after all a game that lets players BUILD anything if I'm not mistaken (I never play it due to its pixelated look also  ). I like to look at beautiful things....... beautiful renovation, decor, cars, huge screen tvs, ladies........... Games not in the "building type" as minecraft has no excuse to look terrible running on a super computer (compared with game consoles 20 years ago).

I got other friends using TIME as well with no issues, my issue came to haunt me like a 13 year old girl who just gotten her first period...unexpected, sudden and frustrating I love to see the expression of TIME technical assistant if you quote your problem with the 13 year old period metaphors......

QUOTE(jkgadget @ Mar 3 2016, 09:34 AM) I trace routed to Japan and gotten same crappy results. I don't think the undersea cable may be affecting TIME. From what I understand, TIME uses a 3rd party routing company for overseas connections, and I can only assume it's a Singapore company seeing how my overseas connections are going to singapore first, before heading to other countries. If I'm not mistaken, the faulty submarine cable is the one connecting to Singapore.....

March PS Plus free to play game is here, a pile of pixelated 8 bit game. PS Plus discount game right now has nothing much to offer.

QUOTE(panda-man @ Mar 4 2016, 09:07 AM) probably legit. but note the title 'rent' this is a seller on LYN, i bought a game from terion last week. he also does rental from like RM1/day or something like that. https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f=180&t=3045807Thanks. But did you notice his sales on Lelong and facebook always mentioned things like activate (certain period) and non-activate. The non-activate supposedly play by using accounts provided by the seller, isn't that game sharing? More confusing is the reference of "tier", like tier 1 or 2 So the game you bought from him is a coupon code to be redeem directly from PSN store? Thanks.
