Most Facebook pages(Heavy Arm Online/Impulse/etc.) I saw were advertising the same bundle going for RM1099. This is so far the only one I see with RM999(*While stock lasts*) price tag, definitely worth checking out. If this cheaper option here turns out to be say imported/'lemon unit'/AP device(I don't know the exact term to use here, what I am trying to say here is if the PS4 bundle being sold isn't meant for Asia/our country.), then I'll head to the stores located in Subang Jaya instead as advertised on the Facebook pages I saw earlier. I'll most likely visit either one or all of these places later in the morning.

So, here are my questions. How do I tell from the outside of the box if it's like meant for Asia or are the games the R3 ones? How do I make sure if they have legit warranty claims(should any issues arise) with local SONY service centers/HQ/shops? Forgive me for the beginner's questions as well, like ramdieslow, I am also new to this. Planning to either get myself a PS4 within these last few days of the year or I don't at all. 😅

Tough luck for me then. 😅 Congratulations on you for getting the better deal nonetheless. Enjoy! I have got mine from somewhere else, with an extra RM100 more. 😂

1 year extended warranty service card usually come along with the set .. during purchase make sure you got a sealed unit , if not the seller might took out the 1 year extended warranty service card from the set .. or you can purchase via lazada devil.gif

NOTE : no matter what , kindly register the warranty via online ( even the seller insisted not to register the warranty via online ) devil.gif

I didn't get any such card in my bundle as well, even though it's sealed and all. The outside box does say 2 year warranty, but not the inner box. Have you registered online to check on it?

Ah OK. We got it late i guess. No wonder they were clearing stock. Not much difference. Just that some say the new one is quieter though frankly i can't hear anything over the game sound.

Hello do I still need the official bluetooth adapter for Remote Play? Since I put my PS4 upstairs and considering I got adequate enough of download speed I decided to dabble a bit in streaming which feels dirty at first tbh. Hooked the PS4 to ethernet but use wireless on same network tho iinm. But using the controller with USB.

Played Bloodborne a bit it's bearable but that sudden stutter or drops make it worse especially during the most critical of times. I know it's not really a suitable game for remote play but I'm really in the mood for anything atmospheric right now especially with Gothic aesthetics.

I don't think so , at least 2-3 working days depending on courier company devil.gif

Awesome, thanks.  Just curious, but does the retailer send the controller to Sony for repair?

Nope , usually they got in house technician .. it's better to send it by yourself devil.gif

Oh, you mean bring the controller to Sony Service Centre instead of the retailer I bought it from? If that's the case, is the Sony Service Centre still in KLCC?

Yeap. Feels like it is about to take off.
I’ve to increase the speaker’s volume or use headphones.
This is quite normal among first generation ps4pro.
The latest version shouldn’t have this issue.

Yeap, these games only works on R1.
Some of these games are not available in R3 too.
Can’t expect a code to work for a game that doesn’t exist in that region lol.

Cd or digital is the same.
It must be installed onto the local drive for it to work.

Is ssd worth it though...
that depends if
1. You’ve a spare ssd lying around
2. The hdd in your ps4pro spoilt
3. There is a major discount for ssd
4. Is saving that few seconds during game loading worth it ?

I changed mine due to factor 2 and 3.
If I have a working hdd, I probably wouldn’t care.

Don't know how much different will it be for Kingdom Come Deliverance with its customary 4 minutes initial loading. Sure the medieval paintings for the intro is gorgeous but after experiencing the thing time and time again it gets tedious.

hi guys, i just bought PS4 Pro two months ago, and been using 39" Full HD TV only to play. plan to upgrade to 4K HDR TV, like this one LG 43" 43UK6300. Is this TV model OK for PS4 pro? Pls advise.

i heard stories of others that bought 4K 'HDR' TV but the HDR not compatible with PS4 pro. therefore, i want to purchase the correct one, my budget RM2500 and below, better if below RM2k. 2k might be peanut to others but it's a lot to me.

Cheaper TV HDR is not very prominent.
But to be honest, not many games support full proper HDR too. PS4 support HDR10 which many hdr ready TV uses.

One other thing you’ll need to check.
The latency/input lag is usually not that good among cheaper TVs too. If you play any fighting games, platformer or FPS, this will affect your experience.

thanks for your feedback. i researched input lag for this model at rtings.com website and found out that the input lag/response time is quite good, around 11ms.

TQ for your suggestion. 55" i think is too big inside my medium-sized room (gaming room) so need to consider proper viewing distance too but I will definitely consider 49" thumbup.gif

Good rationality because a lot of people think that bigger screen is always better without considering the size of the room and the distance between the sofa and TV. Because let me tell you, motion sickness is not worth it, your gaming experience will be instantly spoiled.

yea right, but i never got motion sickness like nausea etc from gaming marathon with PS4 so far. only feel my eyeballs a bit itchy and 'dried up', because played too long maybe? at this time, I know I had to stop playing and rest my eyes.

The Nintendo Switch is a good idea but not so good execution to me. There's a lot of wear and tear and build quality issues. Even mine have a few.
I just can't see myself using it for a longer duration than a PS4.

I'm also no longer attracted by their exclusive titles. Zelda was the one game I wanted to play. Then I also played Mario Odyssey, many other 3rd party games. And Diablo 3 more recently. But it's graphic performance and network capability left me in doubt. Online gaming on it is inferior to other consoles. There's terrible lag in Diablo 3 multiplayer especially after Greater Rift lv100. Fortnite is lagging as hell too. You lag terribly during big fights. Right now I have single digit Ping on Fortnite PS4. While the best Ping on NS for me was around 100.

49" 4K HDR TV is quite cheap nowadays. Perfect for budget oriented people like me. Decent enough performance with the PS4 Pro. I'm sitting quite close too.

My switch was already more than 2 years old. Starting to have problems here and there(joysticks).
And Switch games are getting boring to me. Not looking forward to any of the games in 2019.

yes. too bad any PS exclusive R3 games or most Japanese developed R3 games are still O as enter. most Western developed games rather make 1 version rather then 2 different version. apart from button lay out, save file is not compatible. coz Sony treats it as a different game. shakehead.gif

That's why I stick exclusively to playing R1 games and use R1 consoles. If you start to play too many games, the constant button changes becomes very annoying. I stopped buying R3 games back in 2009.

It's not a problem using the Asian/JP button scheme or US/EU button scheme, people will just adapt like driving left hand drive or right hand drive cars.

However, it is the games that has programming issues that tries to read the hardware button mapping scheme that causes some games impossible to complete until it is patched.

That is just lazy, but there are a few games that never got patched & still impossible to be completed on different region machines to this day.

It's not a problem using the Asian/JP button scheme or US/EU button scheme, people will just adapt like driving left hand drive or right hand drive cars.

I just bought PS4 Pro CUH-7218B B01. When playing GoW or Spiderman, the temperature at the back of the console is quite high, can go up to 65° C or higher even though I place it in the open space with reasonable ventilation. Is this normal?

The APU in the PS4 Pro is designed to thermal throttle at 85c and auto shut off at 100c. You're fine.

Just got a new 4K HDR TV. Tried HDR gaming. Not sure if it's better or what.

Tried GOW, Spiderman and HZD so far. Not sure if it's better or what since can't do side by side comparison. But i have watched some Youtube comparison videos. And frankly, it looks like non-HDR is better?

What do you guys think?

What TV did you get? Understand that most 4k TVs still can't do HDR properly even in 2019. Also did you make sure your settings are correct and if you calibrated your display?

That's normal of course. The heat comes out through the back of the power supply.

A good way to identify good cooing is: high heat exhaust, fan not in maximum RPM mode, and the system isn't clearly thermal throttling. You can tell your system is thermal throttling when you start to get extremely erratic framerate drops in games (especially the ones with unlocked framerates or those that targets 60fps).

Didnt calibrate anything. Wont know how also. But the point is, i am watching videos of comparison on Youtube. HDR doesn't seems so hot to me...actually worst in a lot of scenarios. Or maybe it cant be seen via Youtube videos? In General, HDR just makes things darker from whatvi have observed from the Youtube comparisons.

My own TV i cant tell since can't do side by side comparison.

How did you do the comparisons on HDR via Youtube? Was it direct feed or captured off cam?

HDR becomes darker and crushes shadow or HDR makes the image looks washed out is a very common complain people who are new to the technology brings up. It's actually a misconception. It does depend on the source too, quite a number of games (alarmingly) has been using "fake HDR" too.

If you’ve a R3 digital code, just create a R3 psn account and input the code in. You’ll then be able to download it and use it.
If you’ve only 1 ps4, set that PS4 as primary on the psn account. That way, any account can play that game on your PS4 and you don’t need to be always online.

If you want to buy a digital game from EU/US, you need to create that region psn account.
You then need to add that region credit card or purchase reload cards for that region if you wanna buy games.

Do you experience this? While playing with PS4 Pro, somehow the screen flicks to blank screen, about 2 seconds and then back to normal. Not frequent and it looks random. I am using Sony 4k TV and Sony sound bar. The HDMI cable used is of version 2.0. I wonder it is because of temperature of the console or it is a known issue.

Don’t think it’s the temp.
Temp would just cause it to shut down or if that fails to kick it, you’ll get extreme slowdown/graphical glitches.

This sounds like the cable/port issue.

it's the common issues with some 4k TV's hdr with PS4Pro

change your PS4pro display setting to YUV420 will solve the issue

my previous 4k Non HDR Sammy had no issue with the pro
but after changing the to the HDR 4K TV, having similar intermittent black screen issue

Isn't that normal if the game support HDR? I mean, when the game loads the TV will switch from SDR to HDR mode.

The issue is the HDMI cable, not the TV or console. A very common misconception.

Please use certified HDMI cables that conforms to the 2.0 spec, being able to transmit 18gbps bandwidth at a specified length. The cable that comes with the PS4 Pro is not certified, that's why it is hit-and-miss, inconsistent results across all users.

Also the longer the cable length, the harder it'll be for the HDMI cable to transmit the signal.

From what i have read so far, the HDMI cables is not really issue. As long as it is "High Speed" HDMI cable (capable of transmitting ethernet), it will do. The spec is only meant between the equipments. Ex, TV support HDMI 2.0a, AVR must also support HDMI 2.0a, if you want to passthrough HDR to from PS4 to TV via the AVR. But yes, it is recommended the cable not to be too long...can't remember how many metres or things might goes wonky.

https://www.cnet.com/news/4k-hdmi-cables-are-nonsense/

Btw, further to testing the HDR on our discussion earliar, i found Uncharted 4 very good for testing as it can turn on and off the HDR in-game from the options, i can see the difference clearly now between HDR ON/OFF. But i am still not convinced it is better...just different. Ex, when look up at the Sun, non-HDR cannot see Sun clearly, just a dim round circle. With HDR ON. can see the sun is bright. Also the environment looks more yellowish supposely from the direct sunlight of the Sun.

It looks suspiciously like just reprogramming the color pallete and effects of the objects. Maybe it need really high end TV to see the difference. Anyway, i just leave it on....kiasu mah...

You can't, PS4 doesn't support BT audio natively
the only way is to use a BT dongle, or via TV if your TV supports BT audio

but I won't recommend using it with your Bluedio, as the audio lag will be unbearable

you'll need something with aptX-LL for gaming & movie watching

From what i have read so far, the HDMI cables is not really issue. As long as it is "High Speed" HDMI cable (capable of transmitting ethernet), it will do. The spec is only meant between the equipments. Ex, TV support HDMI 2.0a, AVR must also support HDMI 2.0a, if you want to passthrough HDR to from PS4 to TV via the AVR. But yes, it is recommended the cable not to be too long...can't remember how many metres or things might goes wonky.

https://www.cnet.com/news/4k-hdmi-cables-are-nonsense/

Btw, further to testing the HDR on our discussion earliar, i found Uncharted 4 very good for testing as it can turn on and off the HDR in-game from the options, i can see the difference clearly now between HDR ON/OFF. But i am still not convinced it is better...just different. Ex, when look up at the Sun, non-HDR cannot see Sun clearly, just a dim round circle. With HDR ON. can see the sun is bright. Also the environment looks more yellowish supposely from the direct sunlight of the Sun.

It looks suspiciously like just reprogramming the color pallete and effects of the objects. Maybe it need really high end TV to see the difference. Anyway, i just leave it on....kiasu mah...

How do you certify if the cable is actually "High Speed" then? You can't, without a consortium certification. In markets like Malaysia, consumers can be easily lied to because all a distro/retailer needs to do is slap a sticker on the cables and call it "High Speed".

Similarly, there are many HDMI cables that are not certified either but pass the HDMI 2.0 bandwidth requirements (fibre optic HDMI cables for example has a high rate of success). Most HDMI cables start getting issues after 5 meters btw. The 'standard' is 1.5m to 3m.

What is your TV again? Are you sure you have the proper settings? HDR shouldn't just look "different", in all cases assuming the HDR tone mapping isn't bullshit to begin with (RDR2 for example is pure bs) - it will always look better than SDR. Of course your display's capability to reproduce HDR is equally as important as the source.

You sure under the TV's HDMI settings - "Enhanced" format is enabled? Also, are you sure you connected to the correct HDMI port? On the A1, only HDMI port 2 and 3 are full bandwidth. Others are not.

For HDMI cables, just buy online UGREEN cables from lapsada. No worries. I won't buy chap XXX from ALL IT Hypermarket for sure. Expensive gila somemore. Honestly, in all my years of using HDMI cables with various gadgets, from short to very long (like 12 feet or more), there wasn't any issue at all. They are just avg cables, nothing premium.

I don't have RDR2 so can't compare, maybe i google RDR2 HDR later. But like i said earliar, even the Youtube videos comparison, just looked different. I really don't find HDR "better". I guess to each their own opinions. It's not really a big jump for me. This is after all, just a TV display tech, not a GPU tech which i can clearly see the difference like from programmable pixel shader to tessellation, which is very obvious improvements.

As for movie HDRs, i haven't really make any comparisons. So far it looks good, but it is even harder to compare without a second TV.

If you can tell the difference between tessellation enabled and disabled, you can certainly tell the difference between HDR and SDR.

Clearly something is wrong in your chain. Saying HDR is not better is like saying 1080p isn't better than 480p or a 10bit panel isn't better than an 6-bit with FRC (or 8 bit). The difference is day and night. Don't use Youtube as a comparison tool, none of it is accurate. HDR vs SDR can be objectively compared, it's not audio.

I just calibrated an A8F (which is a cut down A1) 2 days ago, 4k RGB works on the Pro and XboneX. Cable used was monoprice cables, bought from Amazon - pretty cheap.

The setting to make sure it's enabled is under Settings > External Inputs > HDMI signal format > Enhanced. Also this must be done prior to the console being turned on. The TV has to reset itself when changing the signal format, if you have a source connected then the source will send the wrong EDID data, which means no matter what you change after that doesn't really do anything.


*EDIT*

Ah, I understand your problem now greyshadow. You're trying to push 4k60 with RGB at 10-bit for HDR, that simply won't work with HDMI 2.0 because that requires 22.7gbps. You are locked to YUV420 because that's a limitation of the HDMI 2.0 spec. You can still do 4k60 with RGB if you disable HDR (8-bit) however.

Tessellation is procedural generation of 3d geometry as opposed to slapping bitmaps on polygons in bump mapping. This is day and night!

Between 1080p and 480p is obvious. But between 1080p and 4k, the improvement curve has gone to the top of an exponential curve...yes, there is improvement, but not as significant. And it will get even less from 4k to 8k.


So, can't agree bro. Let's just agree to disagree. thumbsup.gif

I think unless there is a bunch of different TVs, done with different test HDR ON/OFF and seen LIVE, it is very hard to make a judgement. hence, i think it will be hard sell to the consumers because you can't immediately show justification of the supposed improvements.

In a way, i feels that HDR can be done by bloom lightning (which was present since DX10), but not a lot of games doing that, maybe it is costly in terms of processing power.

Like the 3DS...till today i still haven't see a real 3DS 3D effect...haha.

Nothing to agree to disagree about because you're not even factually right.

Where did the sudden comparison of bitmaps came from? What does this have to do with a comparison to HDR? I was saying that if you can tell the difference between tessellation enabled and disabled, you can tell how HDR is better than SDR. You say you can't so the only conclusion is then something is wrong in your chain, as evident when you keep using Youtube as an example as a tool of comparison. You still haven't answered me, what is the TV you are using?

"HDR" in games is not the same as HDR used on displays. How in the world did you even co-relate them? HDR in games are used as point lights to simulate real time calculation of lighting effects. It was the wrong term to be used all along! Also, you have no idea how bloom lighting works as you just proven that you think it can be simulate HDR. They are 2 entirely different things.

A majority of the comparison videos , especially on youtube are invalid . Primarily because 99 % of time these people have no idea what they are talking about , including those big name with millions of subscribers . (With the exception of the more technical channels such as CalibrateHD , AVS , Digital Foundry and Vincent T etc )

Why ? Because these people are no calibrator . They have no idea what an accurate, a near perfect picture should look like . Especially when these videos are not even encoded in HDR , how do you showcase the extended dynamic range of HDR on a regular SDR youtube video ?

Not to mention the long term exposure of overly blue-ish white from these ridiculously inaccurate and overly saturated smart phone and monitors , a lot of people don't recognize what does a simple color such as white looks anymore.

"HDR ? MEH , OVERRATED " is also a very common opinion. There is a reason behind that .

Take a look at this unfortunate color chart .

When the TV is unable to showcase a specific color shade , it will simply pick one from the nearby palette and melt it together on the picture, causing images to look too soft and washed out , color and texture details are lost in the process . In such cases you are better off sticking with SDR .



TV makers are also partially to be blamed for this . A lot of these so called HDR TVs are just TV with upgraded pixel numbers . Their limited color gamut and cheap brightness ratings , terribad color volume have severely impeded the intended HDR effects . Yet most of these TV owners , who usually don't know much about PQ will arrive at the same conclusion as you - HDR is nothing more than a myth.

For eg : Horizon zero dawn on an appropriate HDR display almost look like a different game . During the night , the contrast between the moon , the stars and the clouds is a sight to behold.
Compare with SDR , the sky is more than just a uniformly blackout . Shifting between very dark shades of colors expose more shadow details, the moon shines like an elusive pearl in a dark room , you can see more texture and details around edges of the moon and clouds . The torch effects look almost 3d , as if someone has lighten up a match stick in front of your TV . It is incredible how HDR can transform a night scene which is usually monotone and muted , into such vivid scene with deep , dark shades of gray and shadow matchup.

Perhaps the situation will improve in the near future , but as of now true HDR compatible displays are still quite pricey and remains out of reach for many .
I am not posting this to insult these cheaper TVs , people have rights to reserve how much of a budget they want to spend on their AV equipment . But I have had many friends who were in your boat and they have completely changed their opinions about HDR after I've shown them how HDR looks like on the calibrated AF9 I have gotten from Sony China a while ago .

Fun fact : do you know 95% of the TV on market is unable to show the color - red from a simple Cola Can ? Yes all the "red " Cola cans you saw on TV are actually different than what you perceived in real life .

You definitely can't do 444 for the obvious reason.

Surprisingly on all the Samsung TVs I have tested including a Q7FN from best denki , forcing RGB (not on 444 , but YUV 422 ) simply won't work , handshake happens regardless of which port I am connecting to .

Yet YUV 422 seems to work on all my LG TVs I have tried namely the SK8000 , the C7 & C8 .

Tested on a certified HDMI 2.0 I have imported from Amazon a while ago.

Great explanation, bro convael!

The last part is probably true, only the really expensive TV can show HDR correctly, hence again, until this technology got better and cheaper and trickle down to the mainstream mass market, HDR will leave a not so good impression among consumers with wildly varying degree of results.

Hmm..maybe i will replay HZD(completed long time ago) to go to night scene to look around. biggrin.gif

I have R2 version of PES2019 but never knew that at all due to just playing Master League. Chose that one because of the European commentaries compared to just Jon Kabira on R3. That's why it's cheaper too I guess.

Maybe the popularity of PS4 in Malaysia? It's pretty known as FIFA/Fortnite/whateverpopulargames machine now. Would love to know the amount of sales for PS4 in Malaysia considering it is almost at the end of its lifetime now so surely it is at its peak right now.

a "special" kind of ethernet cable, with some pairs in it swapped compared to normal cables, used for device to device connection

lemme guess, you are connecting via PC to PS4 directly?

to use VPN on PS4, it's best to get a better router that has VPN support, save you all the hassles

it's not about the infra, infra no issue, speed also no issue

it's their latency that's bad, either you will get a private IP from them or poor latency, or worst, both!

it's not about the infra, infra no issue, speed also no issue

it's their latency that's bad, either you will get a private IP from them or poor latency, or worst, both!

Shall I stick with unifi then?

I'm using a Bravia kd49x7500f, running with a hdmi 2.0 on original ps4. As per video gif my screen occasional flickers to display 1080p at the information bar. I've tried changing from Port 1234 but to no avail. Granted it doesn't affect my gameplay, but it does irritates me.

EA Access will be coming to PS4 in July
currently it's available for Xbox & PC at USD4.99 monthly or USD29.99 yearly

But the actual price for Malaysia PSN haven't announce yet
I suspect should be around RM20 monthly


based on the EA Access site, Malaysia is not on the list, where as our little dot neighbor down south, and northern tomyam is available doh.gif

oh well, nothing much to loose for me anyway, since I'm not a fan of EA sports, and EA's recent games are kinda mediocre...

Guys, kindly advise. I put up a post a few days back, in regards to my normal ps4 linking to my 4k TV. I enabled hdr in my ps4, but somehow the screen flickers as the above gif EVERY trophy pop up and screen shot.

I already selected enhanced 4k hdmi format, changed multiple hdmi cables and currently TV Sony Bravia x7500f.

This will not be a problem if I disable my console hdr, or change the video output to standard picture.

Would I benefit from hdr format in a non-pro unit? The colours definitely looks more lively

try setting the PS4Pro display setting to YUV420
usually that solves most of the handshake/flicker/blackout problem between a PS4Pro & 4K HDR TV

Yes, disabling it solves it. But does it decrease the HDR performance?

PlayStation Plus subscribers, now may be a good time to check on your subscription status. We say this because Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) has just announced a price hike for its subscription service in Malaysia.

The increase in price will take effect starting 1 August, affecting 12-month, three-month and one-month subscriptions. The price of the 12-month subscription will go from RM129 to RM159. Meanwhile, the three-month subscription will be raised from RM43 to RM69, and the one-month subscription from RM21 to RM29.

If you have turned on auto-renewal on your PS4 and your membership expires on or after 1 August, you’ll have to pay the new price. As the fine print suggests, you can stack up on your subscriptions so that you don’t have to pay the new price when your subscription expires.

That said, SIE does subscription promos quite frequently. Most of them involve adding three months to a 12 -month subscription for free. I, personally, have gotten Final Fantasy XV for free just by getting a 12-month subscription as part of a previous promotion. So you’ll have to consider for yourself if it’s something you want to do.

Apparently there's a promotion for PS+ 12 month membership which comes with monthly gold bars for RDR Online at the price of RM 103, the promotion can be found if you go to PS+ section (not in PS Store btw)...

Anybody here managed to buy it? I tried many times yesterday but it kept showing "We're sorry, this product can't be purchased at this time" when I proceed to checkout.

Hey guys. Sorry noob here. 5 months PS4 ownership.

So, i bought Dirt Rally 2.0 RALL (Day One Edition). I tried to claim the free cars and it keeps getting error. Googled around and found out that it's probably R1 DLC. Long story short, created US account and claimed the cars. But sadly, the cars are only available in the US account but not the Asia account. Ok fine can't be helped since i kinda want to get the Deluxe bundle anyway which has those cars.

So, i have 2 questions.
1. Will Asia DLC work on my RALL DR2?
2. If #1 doesn't work, if i get R3 DR2 disc and reinstall the game, will my save game stay?

That is all. Thank you.

This might differ from game to game and I do not own DR2.
But as far as I know.
1. If you’re RAll, asia dlc should technically work.
2. Savefiles are usually not transferable between regions.

Damn this is really confusing. Googled around more and apparently the saves are locked to whatever disc region i'm using instead of the account i'm playing in? I guess i'll just get R3 version later lol. Much headache. sweat.gif

Did it overheat?
Eg your PS4 crashes/throttles due to the heat?

Older PS4 pro having a loud fan is so common it might as well be a feature. I have this issue despite cleaning my PS4 every other month (to find little dust). It also only happens with HDR enabled games. No crashes or slowdown though. It’s just loud.

Some say changing fans or adhesive will help.

digital of physical disc? if physical disc with limited budget, just buy all games under RM100 i.e. GoW (RM79), UC4 (RM59), UC: The Lost Legacy (RM79), Spiderman (RM79), TLOU (RM59). Days Gone is still RM189, so just buy later in the future. you can resell the discs later to buy different games

also, buy PS+ subscription as much as possible now, later price will increase in August 2019 to RM159 for 12-months. now promotion only RM90.3 for 12 months

if u keep delay, later no more stocks left at sony store. yesterday i bought GoW at Sony Centre in Penang also the last unit. better decide fast

U can still bring it to Sony, just that they will charge you if warranty is over. As to compare between Sony or retailer, is like bringing your car to an official Toyota service centre or Ah Kong auto service.

you'll have to start from scratch if you get the R3 DR2

Thanks. I guess i'll have to get R3 standard disc and download the deluxe bundle since nobody is selling deluxe disc. =x

Depends on what u haven't played. Try to get the exclusives.

Exclusive is worth grabbing indeed, but I owned most of the hit title other than Days Gone, I heard that the review is pretty bad due to repetitive gameplay, too much patching and bugs?

i think not. you can buy PS4 Pro and GoW separately, and still cheaper

PS4 Pro 1TB RM 1,377 @ Lazada
GoW RM79 @ Days of Play Promotion, until 17 June 2019 only

RM 1,377 + RM 79 = RM 1,456. cheaper

Do you already have the old pro?
I had that thought of that several times too.
But getting a new console just because of the fan when there is a new one coming out next year seems a bit counterintuitive.

if you're using the old noisy old Pro now and it's already past warranty, no point buying the new one just for quieter fan
better save the moolah for PS5

you can DIY to change the original poorly applied inferior thermal paste to something better

My damage is less than RM30 by changing & reapplying the thermal paste, and now it's a lot more quieter, no more jet engine noise
at the same time you can clean out the dust in there also

mine was about a year old plus when I took it apart, still got valid extended warranty left, but I can't bear the noise anymore, and screw it
applied Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, and I can hear the night & day differences

maybe it's a case by case basis for those doesn't have much differences?
mine was loud like a jet engine when it's at full speed, you can hear it even with your headphone on

when I took apart mine, the original thermal paste was poorly applied, it doesn't covers all of the CPU surface (80% coverage only doh.gif), and some part of paste already dried up (a good thermal paste shouldn't dried up so fast)
that convinced me it's the root cause of my fan are always running at full speed: the CPU are overheated due to poorly applied inferior thermal paste

RM176 = USD50, sometimes shopee will come out with vouchers 10% or 12% or 15%. Extra discount before RM176.
Best I got was about RM3.05 = USD1 PSN rate.

always be cautious when seeing those selling waaay below market price

most of the time it's the code bought from stolen CC or via schemes like Amazon fraud

yeah, you might get cheap goods, but you're indirectly supporting illegal activities

Thanks. I've checked shopee.com.my prior to posting here but I am a bit wary because I read on one of the customer feedbacks that the seller (can't remember which one it was) didn't send him the code after payment.

So yes. It is.
4K HDR tv can be cheaper than rm3k.
Some purist will say it’s not proper HDR, but it is still better than SDR 1080p TV.

Just take note cheaper 4K tv tend to have latency issues.
So take note if you’re a hardcore fighting games player.

If you ask me if it's legit or not? I'm not sure but what I do know is i been trading with him more than a year. Even RM400 = $100 i dont think it's legit because our rate is about RM4.20. Who would be so stupid selling below market price. I couldn't care less where the seller get it, I only care I got it cheap.

If you are afraid buying, it's understandable. You still can buy at retail price from Amazon.

P.S I'm not promoting the seller, i got from other seller as well.

Better TV if you have the space and budget. 49-50" entry level 4K HDR TV is fairly cheap (<2K) but don't expect super performance. Should be good enough though. Got more budget, go for 2-3K range.

Why I ask because, not all PS4 games are hdr enabled. That's why wonder hdr is worth it or not. I checked battlefield V hdr , looks exposure also overblown

It's Malaysian PSN. I think the problem is the address. Do we need to key in our exact address? There actually no option for PJ, Selangor. If select Selangor, its Shah Alam.

Anyway, I just bought PSN card at 7-11 and add some money into my wallet to buy Dragon Age Inquisition. It's on sale for only RM17 which I think its really worth it even though it's not a new game.

I’ve a 1gbps connection with a cat 6 Lan cable to a GigE switch.
While testing shows high speed occasionally (>500mbps)
The actual download speed of games is about 15mbps after a few minutes. I think psn throttles the download speed as well.

Hopefully they’ll fix this with the PS5.
As game size gets larger and with better SSD support.

of course PSN gonna throttle the DL speed, you're not the only one downloading you know.
if there's no throttling, you'll be hogging the bandwidth while others suffers the slow speed wink.gif

and we aren't downloading games all the time anyway, 15mb is good enough for occasional game downloading, and it's more than enough for multiplayer, where latency is more of an issue compared to speed

While that’s true, they can always increase the bandwidth.
Steam is way faster than PSN.

My ps4 has been disconnecting from my unifi recently, like every 5 min or so. I've tried changing channel, mtu, but to no avail. Anyone knows what's wrong with the intermittency? It was fine last week.

If u buy the original DS4 yes can claim warranty. I think it was 6 month or 1 year. not sure about that but can check from the ps4 warranty book inside the box. as for service center can check thru official asia ps website HERE

During connection test, mine shows 700+ Mbps,
But actual download speed is far lower than that.
It slows down quite a bit after 5 minutes.

To troubleshoot, does your other device suffer from slow speed too?

Although most that are worth to play were already on PS+ but that's a really good deal. I must say I don't do bundles on PC anymore because too much shovelware.

Grim fandango I got
Wasteland I got
Talos I got
Killing floor 2 I got.

I would say Talos Principle is an excellent game, nothing short of a marvel. Granted it is only a puzzle game, but if u love puzzles, this would be a great choice.

My PS4 slim can't be updated to latest firmware. I keep getting SU-42118-6 error. Tried to change the HDD, still same error. Then my son told me game disk cannot be eject already, I suspecting BluRay drive faulty causing the firmware upgrade to fail.

Anyone know how much to fix BluRay drive problem?

For time being, I replace the slim with Pro already but still want to fix it.

What do you mean impossible? You can buy FIFA 14-18 for dirt cheap physical copy. Then the ones before that you probably have to try finding on PC, or PS3.

I mean in relation to EA Access so that I can easily install/stream and play just like the way they are back then. Mainly speaking of FIFA 98-06 here. EA's back catalogue is huge and I wish they will add more instead of just the 35+ that they currently suppport. Even Ubisoft is going for subscription now too while it is nice for digital preservation in the end it all depends on the profitability of the scheme.

If you can tie your shoe laces, you can change the drive on the PS4. It's that easy.

Are you planning to buy a PS5 on launch?
If yes, maybe the OEM is worth it since you will only be playing it for a year+.

But if you do not intend to buy a ps5 in 2020, then an original DS4 would be worth it.

That time would be remastered version lo.
But since this game is releasing on February 2020, which means PS5 is going to launch like end of the year of 2020, and then only be available for purchase on 2021. Lol. I don't usually buy first batch, but if HZD2 is out........ Hmmm...

usually best deals are found on online shopping sites like Shopee or Lazada
mycybersales is happening now, you should be able to score a good bargain from there

just check the reviews before you commit on buying from certain stores, just avoid any stores with little or no reviews then you should be fine

Guys,

I have a dilemma, looking for a solution.
So I have one monitor, which is used for both PC & PS4.
Every time I want to use either, I change the HDMI plug.

Are there any other solutions to this? An adapter or something where I can just switch on and off on so that my monitor can easily display either machines?

Note: I don't want to get another screen cause my new monitor works very fine.

There is a solution.
My setup is opposite, ps4 needed to switch between living room tv and monitor at corner of the room (personal gaming space😅)

So I use this little switch. Very convenient. No need to mess with plugging-unplugging cables and such.

Don't forget to buy extra hdmi cable to complete the setup. 😁

Not at all, it will passively powered on when there is an active video input detected. So far no issue ever.

I would like to experience 4K gaming, but that would either mean getting a pro at the end life cycle of ps4, or be an early adopter of first batch of ps5 and be guinea pig. decisions, decisions.

my decision would certainly be influenced by any good limited edition for ps5.

Is there any fix for the remote play lag?

Weird thing is.. I tried online games, rarely lag
But other offline games very lag if so many things happen in the screen like kh3

Or is it my phone spec not good enough?

Which phone are you using?
Sometimes remote play with my vita causes a bad lag too.
It could be the wireless connection to your device.
Also, there is direct PS4 to device connection or through the network. That might affect it as well.

Has anyone encountered this error "E-8200012C" while purchasing with their credit card?

I've been trying to purchase games with my credit card but I keep getting this error. And I can't figure out what's wrong. I've read that it has something to do with my address matching my billing and my psn account address.

I've tried so many ways to write my address (because I can't have any special characters like "/" in the address) and matched everything together but it still didn't work.

Hope someone has found a solution for this error

Buying on PSN Malaysia Store? If got that error buying thru PS4 console, try buying thru PC or PS phone app?

It happened once to me before, but I can't remember what's the error code.

Playing remote play if HOPELESS here in malaysia.

I tried playing my ps4 via remote play on my vita at my office which is 15km away from home. Using unifi 500mbps.

Still lags somewhat.
Office internet is fast too, about 300mbps or so.
If i switch to 4G, it’s barely playable. doh.gif

Hope 5G could overcome this remote play lagginess but i wouldn’t bet on it.

Maybe PS5 will have better remote play mechanisms in the future? Who knows.

I got this problem around the same time as you.

Called the bank (RHB Debit Card in my case) and turned out they blocked it. I told them to open permanently and thought that was the end of it.

But today it happened again. Called them again and asked why is it blocked when I’ve already requested for permanent unblock. They said it’s standard procedure and added I should call them first before making online purchases in the future.

After I explained that I only use this card for online and always keep a small balance, the staff said she’ll put a remark for my request.

What a hassle.

I'm thinking of getting a pro, for the graphical enhancement since I have myself a 4k TV now. My dilemma is knowing a Ps5 release is imminently around the corner, a ps4 pro may not be the best choice. And also what shall I do with my ps4 vanilla? It is a DQ LE.

My argument to purchase a pro, I might not be an early adopter of Ps5, perhaps will wait for about a year later to see any defect in the pioneer batch. In the mean time, a ps4 may be adequate. And I can also sell the pro away, it could still be in 2 /3 years old by then.

What do u all think?

If you'll fully utilize your PS4 Pro with your 4K TV in between now and end of next year, I guess why not, especially if you have PSVR.
Maybe won't feel regret even when PS5 is launched, and you might change your mind to buy PS5 at launch if a game you really like is among the launch games.

Your PS4 Dragon Quest Limited Edition ... keep as display collection :-D or for future kids' use.

If Sony will confirm next year, whether there will be mid-cycle upgrade or not, like PS4 Pro ... OR straightaway announce 2 versions, PS5 & PS5 Lite ... then gamers can decide whether to buy early or not (games being the main deciding factor apart from money :-( ). (If Microsoft will announce XBox Scarlett and XBox Anaconda, then maybe Sony will do so also if PS5 is really USD499 and the 'lite' version at USD399).

If you really want it, then go for it.
Wait for 11.11 sales.

Other points to consider
- How often you use ps4 / consume 4k media?
- resale value after ps5 is released will be very low.
- jump in performance will be very minor compared to the jump to PS5.

if you aren't an early adopter, just upgrade your current set to Pro
buy now, play now, enjoy now, regret later

PS5 is next year end, that's another year to go, plus since you aren't getting it day 1, so there's another 1.5 to 2 years for your next console upgrade, by then, you already get back what's worth from your Pro
and resell value of a Pro definitely is much better than your DQ LE, ppl won't pay a lot of extra for a LE anyway, unless they are a hardcore collector, and good luck finding one.

Hey guys, i need some assistance here.

My ps4 controller had the stutter issue on the left analog stick. The character will change between walk and running if I push analog forward. I think this is quite a common issue.

I checked with the shop before and they charge me RM80 for replacing the motherboard. I remember the authentic controller costs around RM150++

I checked online shop and found someone selling PS4 controller for RM80 only. I assume these are not authenticate from Sony right?

Should I just get a new one ( which one is worth to get? ) or change motherboard for RM80?

I would suggest not to repair. U can try to get a 2ND hand at a reasonable price. Or get a brand new one with an ease of mind. Don't settle for those cheap <100 version. Definitely not authentic.

Ok. I guess I will go for brand new one. Really worry about the 2nd hand, scare kena conned. I saw Impulse gaming is selling RM179.

Just curious, other than the authentic different between those cheap <100 version and original, are there a lot issue for those cheap version?

I believe those cheap <100 are made using the same plastic mold and perhaps some of the parts internally are similar to the Dual Shock 4.
Some cheaper ones might use lower quality switches too.
However they lack any quality control and it's very likely you'll get a lemon unit with non functional buttons/touchpad/gyroscope/earphone jack.

These days I’m happy with my wired usb c nacon controller. Don’t have to worry about battery. But even for a Sony approved/certified controller, it disconnects every 1-2 hours when I have the ear jack plugged in.

Not to mention my scuf sometimes have a bit of a delayed/missed input.

So for cloned sets which are not approved for PS4, the extra frustration is definitely not worth it.

The controller is great apart from the grips which start peeling after awhile. Got a Scuf replacement grips to solve the issue.

Ah great to hear! So no lag issues or game compatibility issues then.

Thanks for the feedback.
Might pull the trigger at the end of this year biggrin.gif

hello guys
i bought a new ps4 pro
immediately got the BLOD - no signal, cant go safe mode, usb port no response, had to hold power butto 17 seconds to off damn thing

so send back to Sony repair...about a week later, said the ps4 is repaired

tested on site, at least can go into menus/start up now

so went home, tried install GT Sport and Monster Hunter World.
Both games gave me the classic CE-34878-0 error.
Ok, maybe i should wait till both games fully update only run damn thing.

Waited fully download latest update, same message came out upon starting the game.

GTA V installed, no such message, so can i say its not hardware related? hmm.gif

Downloaded free games Fallout shelter - ok can run.

So how the heck do i fix this CE-34878-0 error?
I hope its not due to the repair from Sony...

Why do i feel the ps4 pro is a much inferior product than ps3, which has solid power button, lights to indicate standby/network/harddisk running biggrin.gif
and less crashes

if ps4 has so many crashes, why bother buy a console rite?

anyway...enough rant...anyone any idea?

and let me add this
monster hunter world iceborne - fully updated...ran it...show me some grey with black dots screen, then go to CE-34878-0 error
then kick back to log in which user menu - selected either user will crash/freeze at the user selection screen hmm.gif

i suspect sony didnt successfully repair it? hmm.gif

I’ve not encountered this error.
But then again I don’t own MHW iceborne or GT sport.
Try deleting and re-installing those games?

not all PS4Pro is like this, guess you're the unlucky one that got a lemon unit console.gif

judging from your symptom, could be HDD related issue, try reformat it using a pc if possible, then re-initialize the system via safe mode

if the problem still persist after this, send it back again to the service center, could be a faulty HDD

well, according to their 'helpful' customer service which dont work on weekends doh.gif ....
we still need to send back to repair centre, so they can diagnose what is wrong with it

if really cannot fix, then only AFTER management approval, can get exchange...also depends case by case doh.gif

i feel cheated by Sony...sell defective product...clearly its a manufacture defect...should get to exchange

now i dont know whether should send it back to sony repair and wait another few weeks doh.gif yawn.gif

depends on your option, option 6 initialize PS4 won't touch the system software, using option 7 will need you to have the firmware in usb

if you got a pc, why not try taking out the HDD to do a full format first, plug it back and perform the option 7 to see if that work
the most only takes a day time, if works, good for you
else just take it back for warranty claim again

I guess it is not the diagnosis or repair, but rather the time loss attributed to waiting.

i have done the following so far:
1) safe mode - rebuild database = same problem after reinstall game

2) safe mode - initialise (reinstall system software) = same problem after reinstall game

3) Quick initialise from within Settings Menu (non safe mode) = same problem after reinstall game

4) now doing full initialise within Settings Menu (non safe mode)...waiting 3 hours yawn.gif

claim warranty....i duno how many times need to send for warranty.

they may only fix the problem we inform them. other problems we did not inform (which we may not know until experience it, just like the ce34878 code) we unable to tell them in advance

hmm.gif but i realised they installed monster hunter world already in my HDD when i collected it... hmm.gif was it the repair center who copied and test run? or was my unit a 2nd hand unit? hmm.gif
