Yea except B9 is quite crappy though [Watered down] , couldn't recommend it in any way .

Don't get too fed up yet if you happen to miss all the pre-orders .

Apparently there are still merchant which refuse to participate in the pre-order war, instead they have decided to open up the sales of available PS5 stocks to the public on 11.12 .


Gaming Gadgets 1U being one of them .

This is what they said :

If you missed the pre-order and don't mind getting your wallet exploited , that's fine .

Several retailers will have some stocks of SG PS5 going for next couple of weeks along with an absurd price tag .

I didn't get calls from them either .

Called them back justnow , apparently they do [and will] get a small amount of stocks from Sony on 11.12 but they refuse to disclose the numbers .

While they cannot make a solid promise on the exact delivery date , the current estimate delivery date for my order is still 11/12 which I assume is still within the first batch .

Yes senheng , I asked them specifically for my order .

It is either that or they have yet to make me as one of the affected customers .

Just GH ? Are you sure

Did they shared the live event ? You have to be tagged sharer to be listed on the wheel .

Not surprising , it was quite a chaotic mess .

RM500 TYVM ,

honestly people are still dealing with scalpers ?

Come on we are your gamers buddy , how can you pull the same shit as ***** **** ?

How does that logic works even for you ?

What's there to show off ? We are just looking for the best picture quality within our affordability .


If they wanna brag , maybe someone should show us that BTS 178" Samsung Quantum Dots OLED .
Or the LG Rollable OLED if you are that bangsar guy who imported it for over half a million ringgit .



That model would fall into the category of tv with more but not better pixels .

The new gen consoles are using HDMI 2.1 chipset with 40Gbps bandwidth , so unless you are planning to use it as PC monitor it isn't a dealbreaker .

The major difference between them is still the screen type , both of the Samsung's are VA and thus better suited for dimmer room while the Panasonic IPS TV for brighter , bigger room .


The lack of support for Dolby Vision is fine for gaming for now , big brands has a built in dynamic tone mapping function nowadays .

But the absence of WCG can be problematic when TV try to map colors according to the HDR metadata .
Since the expression of wider color space and volume are both fundamental of HDR , you are better off completely turning off HDR on these TV .

Pretty sure it is still him.

I met him in Sony's OLED event last year , if I recall he said he came from the marketing team of middle east Sony .

Especially remembered him well because his english has been improving by quite a lot by years .

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 .

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

Is that PS5 Unit from US ?

I heard the PS5 from Japan is assembled in Japan while for the rest of the world they are assembled in China .

To say China's QA is crap is an understatement , much worse than Indonesia .

Even LG's OLED has a 7% defection rate from Guang zhou compare to 2% from Indonesia .

I was following 2chan , not to say the Japanese PS5 owners didn't encounter any problems but so far it seems to be much less severe than the one in US.

Missing a disc drive sounds like something that would happen in China yea , a place where they sell you houses with hand-painted fake windows .

to save you the hassle , there you go

Offtopic though so yea .

Best bang for the bucks , yes .


But best tv ? nope , far from it .

Correction there , not accuracy but color information . This could have side effects ranging from loss of color texture [especially fonts] details , color bit depth information , color bandings between gradation of palette , also the potential incompatibility with Dolby Vision due to DV using 16bit pre-upscaled canvas .

However in this case Sony did not forsake DV for this reason , it was because they did not ***king pay Dolby .

Its an RGBW TV , so there really isn't much to say beside CRAP .
