can you share the link for that facebook post? i want to see for myself, how much kok that guy is talking.

The real question here being , how can he/she be so sure others aren't getting 200 or possibly more units ?

Just because they told you they were only getting 50 units , doesn't mean they are telling the whole story.

Perhaps their staff's entire family and friends end up reserving a few units just to turn scalpers later ?

I know for a fact that 3 big stores did the same shit , You can already register your interest with them a year ago .
Also the fact that they called me on the same day Sony made announcement , asking for extra money to " preserve " a unit .

Unsurprisingly some cheesy ass fanboi is going after my back in that same day . 

Only reason I am not as forthcoming as some is because I still want to maintain a good standing with the store since I get big discount from them .
Let's look at how many scalpers putting a new PS5 for sale on mudah , shopee and  carousell on 11.12.
I would imagine the launch day PS5 would sell even for RM4000 , you are making almost 2000 bucks more from each unit .
That is quite a temptation .

Same guy but at least now you know what he looks like (p/s: this is not my screenshot)

thanks for the info. i tried to see that post on fb but the group in a private one.

anyway, these people who try to po on launch day only have themselves to blame if they can't get it. some people already line up as early as 6AM at sony store just to get the preorder. if you come later, sure all sold out already.

Its dumb to lash out at Sony without knowing what's going on behind the scene .

It's funny how he wants to "fight for gamers" but he's putting the blame on HG time who got stock for the gamers 

real mental gymnast

I think his assumption is wrong. Based on what we know from here

1. Harvey Norman - 50 units for ALL their chain store
2. SenHeng, Senq - most likely similar to HN situation
3. Sony Stores - I think EVERY of their authorized stores allocated between 100-200 units easily
4. Heavy-Arm, Impulse, Gamer Hideout - I won't be surprised they get more than 200 units because of their # of stores and customer base. Impulse put 25 units on Shopee, then others thru their various branch in JB, Seremban, Sunway. Heavy-Arm only put 10 units on their website (quietly at 3am) but I believe they have a lot of waiting list to fulfill
5. Smaller gameshop - I don't remember seeing any of them revealing their allocated stocks. Personal opinion is that 200 units for a gameshop in Klang Valley is not impossible

Well lucky me in Ipoh. I POed from Sony Ipoh Parade at 10am after the shop open. Nobody waiting there bcoz of MCO and I was the 13th person to paid for the PO. Walk-in, pay the moneh and go back home. After that people start queue for almost 50 pax at 11am

Alfa Gamers - 50 units (40 disc + 10 digital)

Think I’m slowpoke to know the game price might increase.

Then i have no regret to get disc version for an extra RM400. Can just buy new game and sell it or buy 2nd game with slightly cheaper price😁

yes, they already increase the game price long time ago.

new game like demon souls is RM300, which i am not getting until i see a sale on psn.
