Yes. That's the correct way.

I wonder if we can also apply for other accessories such as charging dock and camera....

Yes. Once you reformat, the animation will come back.

And yes. The seal was broken when he received the box. But all the stuff inside were not missing. I suspected that the delivery guy "tumpang"his PS5 to redeem ps+ collection for PS4.

The whole story was told in the previous thread. You can check it out

Nope. You will see it again once you reformat. However, the astrobot room game will.be gone and you need to redownload it after reformat.

So the correct way to assure whether your console is virgin or not, is to check the initial boot up animation, and also check if the astrobot game is already pre-installed once you switch on the console. If the game is not installed, then it means that your console is not new even though you see the initial animation.

Summary

First time boot up animation + astrobot game = NEW

First time boot up animation + no astrobot game = reformated

No first time boot up animation = 2nd hand

Absolutely correct. Once the seal is broken, no matter how you fix it, it won't go back to original state. Unless you go get a new seal to replace it. But I think that's impossible if you are not the original manufacturer.

Don't worry about it bro. As long as the stuff are all inside the box and the console is working fine, then just be with it. This item is too hot. Sure there are some broken seals out there. Human nature. Nothing we can do about it. Just hope they only take it out to touch and put it back in instead of stealing it.

Yes. The story was told in previous thread. And no. He decided to leave it that way. It's been a while since his last message. Must be busy playing with his PS5. Lol

It's possible that the culprit was taking his sweet time to molest his PS5. That's why it's delayed.

It's true. Even the game developer himself confirmed this.

Don't worry. The game will be available in psn store on day one. They didn't offer pre-order for Asia region due to rating issue.

This is explained in their official site.

Ya. Here's what they explained in their website.

For PS4 and PS5 owners in Asia, please note that HITMAN 3 will not be available for pre-order or pre-load. This is due to recent changes in the age ratings systems in those regions. HITMAN 3 will be available for purchase at the above time.

Sometimes they would change the Pre-order bonus to early bird bonus. They did the same thing for other games before. May be they will do it as well for hitman 3 in asia region. Depends on how generous they are.

It's available in PS4 psn for Singapore user. So it's not available for Malaysia? That's weird.

Nope. CNY definitely got PSN discount for games + PS plus. It's been like that since years ago. For example:

https://asia.playstation.com/en-my/press-re...208-psncny2018/


Now it's most likely 1 year free 3 months or 25% discount for 1 year.

Been calculated. The 25% discount for 1 year is most worthy.

Here. So you are also using digital version as well?

I see. Ya. Your internet is considered quite slow for game downloading. Disc version suits you better. I am using 500Mbps. So no issue here.

So what's the result? HDD or SSD? Which brand?

The news said PS5 will have an update in March fixing the Samsung TV hdr compatibility issue. It does not necessary mean that PS5 next update will come In March.

You misunderstood my friend. What I mean is March update is confirmed. But they may also have early update for us in Jan/Feb for other purposes.

Here you go.

What? That's too bad. I thought there's at least another batch before CNY.
