I am sorry as a noob here. Quick question, for my kids.

Is it still worth it to buy Playstation 4 for my kids, or better straight go to Playstation 5?

And what are the pros and cons? I am programmer but I am bloody noob with Playstation as I am more to PC guy.

OR... OR... You all recommend me more to PC games, compared to Playstation?

Please, need a suggestion here, as I dont think I am as young as majority of you here.

Maybe if I dont have much info here, I will straight go buy PC by the way? Is console like Playstation is better than PC?

gpu prices are retardedly high right now and even if you go prebuilt that's still 6-7k for a decent specs. depends on your budget i guess, ps5 at scalper's price is 3k and that's all you need to game and decent level

GPU scalping is next level laugh.gif

- Have to buy bundle: CPU, SSD, Mobo, PSU, Case, RAM, etc
- Bundle items must be similarly premium (if buy 3080 Ti, cannot buy i5)
- All items oso markup, not just GPU

I go test make a build that matches Xbox Series X, total price is greater than RM8k!
*
this issue is easily resolved by ordering prebuilt from dell. a full system with rtx 3080 cost lesser than whan an rtx 3080 will sell in open market. just the only thing getting people to hesitate is the 'prebuilt' notion that it's not reliable/you cant upgrade etc etc

the bad pre-built reputation is usually well-deserved

I got a DELL MY pre-built for my parents coz I dun wanna make custom for them and become tech support. End up the pre-built kept giving problems  cry.gif

right now you can only get the alienware r12 which is actually not too bad

QUOTE(chiahau @ Jun 6 2021, 12:50 PM)
Well, if you can wait 6~8 weeks nowadays + Dell's 3080 is a little less powerful than those aftermarket ones, that's a pretty decent deal.

But the lack of ability to upgrade is such a turn off. You are stuck with their custom parts and that's it.
Miners need it to mine.

Gamers need it for higher fps.

Rich kids / people won't care about pricing anyways.
*
my brother got the aurora r12 and honestly all the things you'd think of upgrading is actually upgradable, except the motherboard, cpu, psu and cooler.

ive entered myself into zotac's 3080 ti raffle which now that i think about it, paying 8k for a gpu even if it's SRP is pretty stupid hence why im even considering a ps5 even more. 3k and you can game decently already and my gpu is still solid for competitive games

True gamer lol. Scalper also know to pick the highest bundle to increase their chances, they would just force the buyer to take the whole bundle anyway.

True gamer would know that the games they try to sell you are overpriced and you could get much better deal on Shopee.
*
do retailers actually care who gets the console even? I'd assume most would just see who gives them the most profit

Selling controller and games is not as easy and as quick as console, so their money will be tied to those item for a long time and that's not good for scalping business. As more console become available scalper price have reduced significantly from 5K++ to only 3k++ now (some selling for 2k++ only). So its race against time for scalper. Hold the console too long they will have their profit reduce significantly. So buying bundle (extra cost and further reduce their profit margin) definitely a no no for scalper.
*
5k++ wow, makes sense why it's 3k now cause i can't justify paying double retail at all, where as 50% markup is a pill easier to swallow

QUOTE(simmarjit @ Jun 7 2021, 01:46 PM)
You are paying prices higher than MSRP even if you sell all the other components, and the resale value of your 3080 Dell or HP OEM will be lower than other brands.
*
ehhh they have a markup since it's OEM, but it's better than what we're being charged today for a single 3080. 10k for a 3080 vs 8-9k for a full system minus monitor. if you need a gaming pc, that's the cheaper alternative for now

Need your advice folks.

So, slightly over 2 weeks ago I sent my PS5 controller for warranty claim as it was facing drifting problem on the left analog stick. My question is has anyone of you faced this problem?

Now with the extended lock down. I doubt I'll be able to get them fix it within the stipulated  2 weeks they promised. Hence my reason to purchase a spare. Yeah I know I shd have done that long ago..

IFixit.com - the famous teardown folks say the Sony DualSense controller only has a typical usage of 417 hours. That's shocking to say the least.

My console has 15 months manufacturer warranty and an additional 24 months by Sen Heng.

Going by the fact that my controller failed in just 5 months,  shd I purchase a spare controller also from Sen Heng at RRP349 and enjoy the extended 2 years warranty  (Citi plus one member) or save a couple of bucks and purchase one from Shopee / Lazada with standard 15 months warranty. Either way, we are talking about official Sony Malaysia  set here.

I just want to know if analog drifting is a common problem and if extended warranty for spare controllers is worth it and 15 months isn't enough. I know that those of you who purchased your console payed a small sum to Sony Malaysia to extend it's warranty coverage. Do they have similar extended warranty for controllers purchased separately ( beyond the 12 +.3)? If not,it will make good sense purchasing from Sen Heng.
*
lol 417 hours wtf

talk about reliability

better get the extended warranty IMO, the discount between RRP and shopee/lazada is less than rm100, plus if you have ezcredits/ vouchers you could likely use it to reduce the rrp on senheng

The EMCO caused Sony to backlog by 2 months  rclxub.gif

So whatever month you pre-ordered, at least 2 months lag before you get notification

i contacted them and all i got was a pretty generic response and they showed that the ETA was unknown, so I'm gonna assume it hasn't been fulfilled yet lol
