whats the total damage?

RM465 in total with SIRIM after redeeming my citipoints with Amazon US biggrin.gif

for those who has Citibank cards, IMO it's more worth it to redeeming them on Amazon US compared to locally, my points only worth around RM600 is use locally, but on Amazon US is RM1K+ rclxms.gif

Noice. Too bad I already bought much earlier. Another storage devices I use it for cold storage or older games. Good enough for me

1.2K for a 2Tb, still a lot more expensive than the other camp, compatible 2Tb NVME SSD can be bought at less than 700 now

even with WD releasing their version for xbox series, their price will never come down as cheap as the nvme

Anyway... now am switching games between PS5 & XsX to make sure I spend equal times with each one tongue.gif

Graphics = both the same
Game collection based on GPU & PS+ Extra = Xbox has slight edge with their day 1 first party games
Controllers = DS5 wins, Xbox controller felt empty after you're used to the HD rumble on DS5, but haptic trigger is just a gimmick for me, doesn't miss it
UI = MS smokes Sony by miles until Sony can't even see MS's taillight
New Console features = again MS smokes Sony in this, Dolby Vision & Atmos? MS does a much better job, based on the same compatible headset (Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro wireless) and same OLED TV.
Things I missed the most from XsX when switching to PS5 is the sweet Quick Resume feature, wanna quit anytime? just quit and resume at the same spot anytime. PS5? I need to waste minutes watching the start sequence again, and most of the time I'll need to waste time play back a certain sequence of the game from the last checkpoint...

and not forgetting my undisputed loo champion : Nintendo Switch tongue.gif

Quick Resume : Yea, when i playing GoW from PS5 cold boot, the waiting feels so bad unless from rest mode and no suspense the game. What's more Now M$ Xbox boot up time also increase thanks to their "fast forward" booting logo time.

Some feature i also dun like after playing with PS5 are:

1) Dualsense battery really bad
2) I cannot charge dualsense directly when it is turned on ; must turn it off and plug the cable (from PS5) and wait the orange light glowing then only can use it again if wan to wire
3) the pop out notification on the right side - can we customise it like xbox ? Xbox is good cause we can adjust to any corner we like even in the mid.

Overall, both console works about same actually for this generation.
*
1) yup, DS5 has the worst batt in all the controllers, have to charge it frequently until i need to plan gaming session based on it's battery doh.gif
2) cannot kah? there was once I die die must continue a game (near end game boss fight already) and the controller is already popping up battery low warning, so I plug in the usb cable from a socket (not PS5), it does charge while gaming, without the need to turn off, but gaming just 1m away from a 55 inch screen is not fun at all sweat.gif

tried a few, it's seems all 3rd party xbox controllers are clicky type

it's like Sony is a fan of the silent cherry mx red switch while MS is a fan of noisy blue switch

The Vale : Shadow of the Crown

this is one of the rare gems I would have missed if not thanks to games with gold

when claiming my usual monthly free games on games with gold, kinda curious on what kind of game is this, zero game screenshot in the stores, trailer also doesn't show game play mechanic at all, and the trailer only have audio cues and flashes of praise from reviewers... hmm.gif

So decided to give it a go, and I was impressed !!

and yup, you can play this game with your eyes closed, trust me, for best immersive experience, switch off all lights in your room, put on your best headphone, and switch off the lights on your controller and console as well thumbup.gif close your eyes and enjoy the game brows.gif

beginning area can be a bit slow and uninteresting, but the game opens up with more options after the first village, highly recommended you guys to try it out

https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/21/23768400...-price-increase

the inevitable is coming... sad.gif

looks like they're closing the turkey loophole as well, price increase of 169% !! from 44.99 to 120.99!!

for those who is using the monthly GPU sub from turkey, I would suggest you to stack them using the codes now to best savings

not really, it's just using wise card with those region's currency has the highest chance of success

others it's a hit n miss

last night tried my Wise card with some Peso balance on ARS region, still failed
convert the Peso to USD, still failed

then I switched to TRY region, purchase is successful, Wise converted my USD to Lira automatically

So I guess in the future you don't need to top-up Lira, just USD will do

this is the time I'm cursing MS for supporting propriety expandable storage

Just added 2Tb to my PS5 for less than RM600, whereas Xbox will need to spend a bit more for just 1Tb doh.gif

SSD price is coming down fast and hard, sooner or later it might be getting cheaper than the HDD

didn't know they've managed to create an adapter for Xbox series, it's cheap, RM60 only, but unfortunately looks like it only supports WD SN530 1Tb SSD, which is kinda rare also
would be great for those who has one lying around

anyone interested can grab it here

it needs to be specifically Western Digital CH SN530 1T lol.

QUOTE(awol @ Aug 22 2023, 04:27 PM)
the SSD itself (CH SN530 1TB) already RM700++

while WD_BLACK 1TB C50 Expansion Card for Xbox - WDBMPH0010BNC-WCSN is about RM800

this is where MS becoming an ass, lock in to certain spec/brand only

would be nice if any SSD are supported sad.gif

Yeah not worth it. But buying SSD confusing af. Didnt know PS5 cant accept Gen3 SSD. And my brother a bit picky with SSD speed. kemon la why this SSD Gen4 but speed like XSX aka Gen3 speed. get Gen4 with minimum speed 5000MBps la. Some TBW a bit low while some can reach up to PentaByte. Dram or dramless & etc. In the end I settle for KC3000 2TB for RM500 for that b*stard. Hopefully it last long enough for him.

Now I'm wondering should I make my PC Direct Storage ready. I just bought some cheapo Gen3 SSD from Gigabyte for my build 2-3 months ago. That KC3000 spec does looks tempting compare to other high end SSD  hmm.gif
*
got that 2Tb KC3000 for me PS5 also, running it naked without heatsink and without the SSD cover, feel no diff from internal storage, IMO that's the best value SSD in the market now

don't get your hopes so high up yet

XSS was SIRIM certified few years back, yet still no official product on the market until now

Likewise for Xbox360 long long time ago, it was also Sirim certified, also under Ingram Micro, yet we only saw limited units sold at court mamoth
