exactly, some extra pocket money for the effort to get it early or maybe gas fee it's fine.

Well, let me make it clear why I'm pricing it as such.

1) Inside sources tells me that the PS4 Pro will not be available for most game shops until early March to April next year.

2) With that, there's Xmas, CNY holidays without a PS4.

3) I too have placed a preorder and chances are that it wont be fulfilled until the time above (with also FFXV all sealed in the cabinet).

Your discussion that earning "RM50 for gas money" is ridiculous and it shows your obvious lack of knowledge in time/opportunity costs and the basic rules of mark up in order to justify "effort" and with the PS4 being so scarce.

Rofl this coming from a guy who complained that I was selling my ps4 pro at a high price last time. Now you are helping your 'friend' sell at above retail?

Why not just sell like 50-100 more than retail like you claimed last time? Nothing but another leaching hypocrite lol

This is his post btw. And now he's helping his "friend" sell at RM400 above retail?

What happened to your "50-100 reasonable price"?

Guess you failed your maths. 400 above retail?  doh.gif 
Yup, selling for my friend, it's up to you to believe or not.
Price was set by my friend anyway, only RM201 above retail price.
Better than your RM2799, so who is the bigger scalper here? rolleyes.gif

Rofl looks like someone edited his post! Yeah your 'friend' smile.gif

Why not tell him to give back to the community by selling for 50-100 above retail? Or else 'gtfo' right?

If you need a spec, please go and get one.
Look at what time the post was modified and what time I shared here.
As if I lose the argument with you already and I go and modified it lol.
Yup, indeed it was a unit from my friend, even the name printed on the receipt is not my name.  smile.gif
Anyway, nobody is forcing you to buy, if you don't want it, other people will still take it.  :thumbsup:

Lol the thing is why bother with your 'righteousness' when you are also in for a quick buck?

I already have my ps4 pro at retail btw, wouldn't wanna pay above '50-100' for one right? smile.gif

Most if not all TVs (even no-name ones) are at least 60hz. True 120hz TVs however are still very rare, majority of the ones that advertises themselves are doing it via interpolation or black frame insertion.

Yes, 30 and 60fps is very noticeably difference.

I've been playing on 144hz for 2 years now, switching to 120, 60 and 30 throughout this period as well.
My experience are (in as layman terms as possible) as follows:

30 to 60hz = Day and night difference, instantly noticeable. You gotta be brain dead not to notice it.
60 to 72/75hz = Subtle difference, it's the cheap-man's version of trying to get more hz.
60 to 90hz = Quite noticeable, but not a day and night jumb.
60 to 120hz = A day and night difference, equivalent to jumping from 30 to 60hz.
60 to 144hz = Pretty much like jumping to 120hz, except with even less input latency. I'm not a pro SF/GG/BB fighter where I can count buffers and latency with my eyes so I can't appreciate the improved latency.

*bonus
120hz to 144hz = I can't tell the difference. For me, 120hz is where the diminishing returns kick in.
120hz to 165hz = I haven't played enough on 165hz, so I do not have a conclusion on it yet.
Now understand that up to 60hz, everything else only applies to PC gaming. Consoles are locked to 60hz and will forever be locked there unless everyone can stop whining about the possibility of $1,000 gaming consoles and TVs that cost half their myvis.

Get a good 4k TV that does HDR properly (both Dolby Vision and meta HDR10), a TV that upscales content well, and a TV with low input lag. That's about all a console gamer needs.
*EDIT*
However, with the advent of HDMI 2.1 - variable refresh rate can be a real game changer for console gaming.

If implemented correctly, the next-gen consoles can in theory give console gamers a smooth gaming experience regardless of the framerate (up to 60hz however) with no screen tearing and minimal input lag. Think Gsync/Freesync, but at a more moderate level. It's really the next most important thing for gaming.
Resogun. Native 4k, 60fps.

Ben, would like to ask you something considering you are very knowledgeable.

I am planning to change the HDMI cable for my PS4 Pro as the default is too short, does the quality of HDMI cables matter?

I see some HDMI cables are 2.0, some 1.4, and some really expensive ones.

Did my research and some sites say that it doesnt really matter what HDMI cable you use, it's all the same?
