I saw those posts on FB. Hundreds of them.

Boy are they in for a rude awakening.

Games can get delisted because of licensing issues, doesn't matter if it's first party or third party. No games are permanent, even if it doesn't sound logical for Sony to remove its own IPs like Uncharted and GoW.

MS has removed first party games from Gamepass before too btw.

They will u-turn for the west.

The amount of people that stacked up years of PS+ in the west is more than the rest of the world combined.

They credit back to you is still in the form of digital credit, in your PS wallet. That means the money is already theirs since you cannot withdraw that to cash. You'll be forced to top up just to buy something in the PS store.

At the end of the day, Sony still benefits from this "fuck up". Bet gamers don't care.

They are more or less the same drive lol. Both uses Phison PS5018 controller. Only difference is the Kingston uses the newer Micron 176-layer TLC NAND vs the Aorus which uses the older 96-layer TLC NAND.

Pick whichever is cheaper.

Even lesser reasons to get a PS5 now.

Early I dah cakap:

Will you or anyone else as a gamer do anything about it? No. Easy say only they should get sued. Who wanna go file the lawsuit?

Looks like US PS+ deluxe/extra doesn't offer any games that are exclusive to their market. No reason to sub to US PS+ anymore then when Asia is much cheaper since there's no streaming option here.

Edit - well they do have RE:DC as a PS1 classic though.

@bolded
Uhm it's important to note that those title are PS3 games via streaming. So they won't be in the SEA catalog anytime soon (if ever).

Wait, why don't you just sub to MY PS+ Extra/Premium then?

PS+ sub is still shareable across users with their own PSN accounts on the same console.

All your purchased games on US PSN acc can still be accessed with any other account on the same console. Of course your PS+ games which btw you don't own since it's just a glorified rental service you will lose access to, BUT most of the games that were on PS+ prior to this Extra/Premium tier are already (or will be) on the sub service anyway.

Or are there many games that you absolutely must play that is on your prior PS+ now that you must "keep" (rent) that you foresee won't be on the subscription tier?

Speaking of queue waiting list for PS5, the IOI city mall (putrajaya) one is definitely already after the 130 mark. Reason I'm so sure is because I got a whatsapp that I have a unit to be picked up last week.

Didn't even remember I was in that list but upon double checking now, I see that my name is after number 130 according to this list - https://www.flashgadgets.com.my/index.php?r...e&article_id=85.

According to store manager there, Sony stores received more units this round vs all the months previously (I can't disclose the exact number of units for confidentiality sake). So you guys can expect stock to slowly improve in the second half of this year.

Won't happen.

Reason is because Sony will not allocate a big batch of PS5 units to SEA region simply due to one major reason: software sales in this region is among the lowest in the world.

Software sales = revenue.
That's where Sony earns from gamers, not the sale of the hardware.

You probably would say: If no PS5 then how to buy games?

Yes, you're right. But unfortunately the reality is that majority of PS5 owners (and this was also backed by PS4 sales previously) only buys 1 or 2 games a year. Most just buy the typical yearly Fifa and that's all they play.

An unfortunate situation, but don't expect in-store availability of PS5s until chip shortages are over (which is expected to be end of 2023).

Indirect scalping. The people that went are the same people that condemns scalpers.



Lol.

That's why gamers are always full of shit and don't deserve better.

A not so known open secret is that when Sony MY brings in the stocks, it is usually a 60-40 split.

As in 60% of stocks usually go to licensed 3rd party sellers, 40% is then split between all the other Sony official stores (that are operated and managed by another company, like Flash Gadgets for example).

There is talks that Sony MY wants to change this value around by year end. You all don't have PS5s one, pandai pandai la want to succumb to indirect scalping or not.

PSVR2 will bring the PS5 to its knees.

As for current gen games, not gonna happen as long as it's still being cock blocked by last-gen consoles.

$899 for the top model, only 27".
Lmao. Sony doesn't do market research or they already made this monitor 2 years ago, but covid fucked up their release schedule?

Why buy this monitor when the Dell G3223Q exists?


EDIT - that said, at least some points have to be given to the INZONE m9 for having fairly decent HDR capability. 800 nits full screen, 680 nits for 10% window is not bad. It's much better than the Dell G3223Q in that area.

Remember don't be one of those fucking hypocrites. Condemning scalpers but then go and buy forced PWP bundles, which is basically indirect scalping anyways.

What kinda of a fucked up excuse is that?

Have you seen the dumb shit accessories those game shops forces on you if you decide to buy from them?
