I managed to PO on HG Time last night but wasn't overly confident that i would make the cut, so i also POed with Alfa Gamer this morning.

Alfa Gamer was more straightforward, walk in and pay rm100 for the PO. Only catch is the PWP of 1 item. Surprised no one talked about them today, i went in at 1030am and there was still 15 units available.

Will continue with my HG Time PO since there's no need for PWP

Is HG Time an authorised reseller? But PO deposit is only rm100. Lowest amongst all. thumbup.gif

They're an authorized dealer and are in the list provided by Sony

Guys, the ps5 doesn't include an optical out port for audio which i currently use to connect my soundbar to the ps4 (when i dont feel like using headphones)

Any experts here can recommend a workaround for this? I read some sites suggestion hdmi splitters that includes an optical out port?

I'm playing on a monitor but i know another option is to move my entire setup to the TV which i really prefer not to (but solves this problem completely)

Everyone in this thread is still pre-occupied with pre-orders...  laugh.gif

I am facing the same issue, i think the workaround is this: https://www.astrogaming.com/en-eu/products/...html#943-000450

But same issue as the PS5 - sold out for now.

Thanks bro, then looks like a standard hdmi splitter with optical out is sufficient. No need to get the Astro brand.

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.

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 biggrin.gif

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

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

I guess iGamer won't be butthurt for long XD

he will probably ignore Sony's call and thus automatically get a refund tongue.gif

yes, i still remember you.

you & one infamous guy (who shall remain nameless) were among the first to post here about your cancellation.

hopefully you will get the call from sony about your po. good luck!  :thumbsup:

I’m curious if the butthurt guy got it. He did say he’s no longer interested in the console due to the way Sony managed this 😅

Would be a massive hypocrite if he accepted it
