SG now accepting another round of preorder, delivery 3rd week of December

Still thinking if I should preorder one tmr.
Playing genshin impact with a smooth 4k 60fps is tempting.
But my Xbox SX is coming in 2 weeks time...

Toy or game stalls accepting walk-in preorders starting from tomorrow 11.30am. And they’re only accepting walk-ins
If you’re in Sg, you can just approach them and preorder.

Yup. I might be able to live with it back when I was a student, staying in a college dorm.
But these days.... I will always try to keep my place tidy with better cable management.

18 free AAA games under PS Plus Collection for PS5 purchase, not sure whether this freebies will continue after 1st year. If already have PS4 Pro, can probably wait another year to upgrade. For ppl like me who still have the first gen PS4 with no 4k output, the wait is long overdue  sweat.gif

The ps+ collection is worth it but not exactly a bonus to me.
I assume this is the same with many long time ps players too if we already own most of the games in the collection.

I don’t mind getting a PS5.
But I’m not gonna get one from scalpers or queue to get it.
If it means getting one Q1 or even Q2 next year, so be it.

Do those even help? Don’t they mess with the supposed airflow design?

I highly doubt it’ll help the cooling effectiveness in anyway.

Looks like the same issue with last gen consoles.
Noisy fans in some models.
Certainly expected from Sony.

Seems Sony had to source different fan models to meet production needs  sad.gif
Hopefully no other more important components having same issues of different quality.

Same issue with the PS4 pro nidec vs delta fan.
I wonder how loud is the PS5 fan with fewer blades is.

Changing the PS4 pro fan wasn’t tough but certainly not something I want to do if I can help it.

Either way, this is more reason for me to just wait and hold up on the PS5 purchase. Perhaps till Q3 next year where they’ve fixed this issue.

I totally refuse to buy from scalpers.
And I encourage all of you here don't do that also.

This is a game console, it is not even a limited edition, and it is not a vintage thing and never will. It is an electronic product and it has a lifespan. Someday in future, a newer, better and more powerful version will replace it, just like PS5 replaces a PS4. When manufacturer firmware & hardware support stops, the product has reached the end of its lifecycle. It may still works, and it will rely on 3rd party parts and repairs should anything go faulty.

With all these reasoning, the PS5 shouldn't be seen as higher than its retail price value.

I think most of us here did not buy from scalpers.

Scalpers who purchased many units will probably find it hard to sell off all their units too.
The Economy isn’t doing well. More People are unwilling to spend 2x the retail price for the console.

Once stock level goes back to normal, these scalpers will be forced to sell at lower than the retail value.

Heck,  I'll not buy even if it's sold at a rm200 premium. Yes,
stock is scarce now but it won't be like this forever. If it means waiting till next quarter,  then be it!

I’ll buy from scalpers only when it’s significantly cheaper than the recommended retail pricing lol.

For those scalper groups who bought too many units and unable to sell by early next year, they might have to sell it for cheap.
