Hi.

Planning to buy PS4 from Japan. Can it be used in Malaysia?

why so?
local set cheap now

japan set 1200 only

Yes, you can. All PS4 comes with an internal universal power supply. You just have to change the cable with a 3-pin head or use an adapter.

last time my nintendo wii was blocked because it is a japan set used in Malaysia. locked during update. that's why I asked

I saw from Lazada or Shoppee and Malaysia set selling at similar price

https://www.lazada.com.my/catalog/?q=PS4+Sl....5d5a24f6DayPSE

maybe you can consider Malaysia set with Warranty available ....

ps4 slim malaysia set if you purchase from lazada is only 950. ps4 pro is only ard 1350.

it's much worth with warranty and all compare to you purchasing from japan.

RM1200-1300+ u can get local set comes with 3 games.

if you only want to know specific about can be use in malaysia or not the answer is yes.

Not worth it. Go for Malaysia set.

If buy for sentimental or souvenir purpose, different story.

TQ ALL

No such issue. Any console can play any games from any region.

Limitations are
1. Some Blu-ray movies might be region locked. But I don’t think people get PS4 for Blu-ray movies these days.

2. You can sign up for US or Asia PSN. However, if you’ve a Japan psn account, you’ll create a new one(Malaysia PSN) to download dlc for the games bought in Malaysia.

Also, region lock will probably be a thing of the past soon.
Switch is region free. And even cross play between consoles are a thing now.

But for other reasons stated above, no point getting it overseas unless you’re staying there for a significant amount of time.

If you buy normal set, then not really significant with Malaysia set.

Unless, the ps4 Japan that you planned to buy is a special model i.e Kingdom Heart Edition, Ace Combat 7 edition, FF15 edition etc

Don't forget Uncle Kastam sure will kacau you, there's no way you can hide such big item without them noticing, unless you throw away the boxes, and make them look less new, which IMO, not worth it
