I buy R&C Rift Apart on PSN at SGD$ 97.90 with debit card.
On the bank statement show $100.64
Is that debit or PSN surcharge?

Weird. I used PayPal to pay for my Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart Deluxe edition. It's exactly $109. No more, no less.

suspect they are charges your bank imposed, you got to go through your credit cards’ terms and conditions for such electronic transactions. Otherwise, to avoid, use those prepaid cards like YouTrip.

When you pay in SGD but the charge is done overseas, it will incur DCC charges. Not earned by the merchant, it's just a processing costs.

So when you go overseas shopping, they ask if you want to charge in local currency or SGD, ALWAYS pick local currency. Their SGD rate is already inflated and you get DCC charge on top as well, modern day "trick".

Whereas for PSN, the payment is not processed in Singapore, you will get that charge. Same goes for a lot of other merchants, such as Nike SG. Some portals using PayPal can avoid that charge because PayPal can process it locally, because the payment goes to PayPal Singapore.

For those looking for a good headset, arctis 7p now on sale on amazon US. about 32% cheaper than local retail

This was previously my favourite headset until I upgraded to arctis pro wireless. Still a very good headset at a good discount now

Currently I'm using Creative sxfi theater wireless headset for my ps5.

Should I change to Artic 7p for better sound quality?
Or both of them are not much different in term of sound quality?

Need some advice from yours guy. Thanks.
