Str/Dex build? Your flasks look like at least +10 liao, guess you're close to completing Journey 1 or already in Journey 2 and beyond? Your setup looks great!

Great news as VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) is coming in the months ahead. Finally, we can make better use of our HDMI 2.1-compatible TVs and monitors.

"On HDMI 2.1-compatible TVs and PC monitors, VRR dynamically syncs the refresh rate of the display to the PS5 console’s graphical output. This enhances visual performance for PS5 games by minimizing or eliminating visual artifacts, such as frame pacing issues and screen tearing. Gameplay in many PS5 titles feels smoother as scenes render instantly, graphics look crisper, and input lag is reduced. Previously released PS5 games can be fully optimized for VRR through a game patch and future games may include VRR support at launch."

DO NOT UPDATE YOUR PS5

The update's screwed up. Now I can't access my Cloud Storage saves. The PS Plus subscription page shows up when my subscription is still valid until November. C'mon, Sony, get your bloody act together!

stop the fear mongering...

it has nothing to do with the update. It's PSN down at the moment. PS4 people also can't connect.

Calm your tits and maybe consult this before you react?

It's not fear mongering, but I would rather not see others have to face the issue.

Fair enough, if it's a PSN issue and not something related to their update, but the timing is coincidental. Instead of asking me to calm my tits, perhaps you could suggest to Sony to improve their messaging and communications? Would it be that difficult to offer a notification when you turn on your PS5 or to post something on their twitter feed?

again, you just need to click on the playstation 5 itself to see....

on the ps5 itself, there's a link to see the status of the PSN..

also, if you are talking about twitter...ok then..(as below)

The main US playstation twitter are not up yet when this happened so it didn't update the status in english...unless you expecting their twitter person to work 24/7 on standby?

Anyway, reports from reddit are saying it's coming up.

So they have a Notification platform to prompt you to download updates, but can't use it to alert you on something as major as a PSN outage? I hope noone mistakenly paid for another PS Plus subscription when the prompt came up in error, just because they thought their subscription had expired.

Of course, I would never want their US twitter person to have to work 24/7 and oh so hard, but you do know there is also a @PlaystationAsia twitter account, right?

how do you expect that to work when the server is down (that is not a planned or scheduled maintence)?

It's like the same meme, man....

"Keyboard not detected. Press any key to continue."

Do you see the paradox or do i need to point it to you?

Fair point, if they have no other way to prompt you technically. I was prompted to download the update and install it, so there was still some level of push connectivity?

But nothing on social media for their Asian customers outside of Japan? Shouldn't be that difficult to post an update and warn your customers not to mistakenly renew their subscriptions while they're trying to fix the problem.

Other that buying from scalpers, where can I get a PS5 at recommended retail price? Is there a waiting list or telegram group I can follow to be notified on stock availability? I tried camping amazon.sg... lol seems like never restocks...

not in a hurry, just hope eventually can get my hands on 1 to play some ps5 games...

I just got my PS5 yesterday and set it up, logged in PSN, accessed some functions... Saw software update required, so updated it and suddenly everything didn't work.
PSN Outage just happened as I was setting up for first time and it had me so confused for a good 30 mins. Trying to troubleshoot my wifi instead of checking if PSN is down or not. LOL.

Checked with Sony Wisma last year September, they are clearing January 2021 waiting list… WhatsApp them yesterday and they said the store is clearing February 2021 waiting list. 😑

depends on yourself. folks that prefer physical usually collectors (i.e. got space at home to keep the discs) or just plan to buy, play then sell away at basis of $10-$15. Less if popular game. Digital means buy and keep forever (till the service dies at least... ), saves space and clutter at home.

For me I prefer digital coz no space at home. and stuffs get mouldy over time which is annoying. howvever due to $$$ constraints, usually just wait for a sale in a couple of months then buy.

Elden ring was the first day 1 purchase in quite a while tho :D

Congratulations! I also wanted to buy PS5 to play GT7 but no luck so far, very frustrating and tempted to just buy online because legit sellers have ready stock available when we have to wait like nearly 2 years already?
The Logitech set will cost $400+ and playseat is also $400+ can PM me? I’m keen to buy and use playing GT4
