News & Reviews:   Sony Playstation 5

Once again, the PlayStation 5 stocks are back and it will be on sale on 3 March at 12 PM. Available on Sony's official online store on Shopee Mall, the PS5 Digital Edition is priced at RM1869 while the Ultra HD Blu-ray version is priced at RM2299. However, there are other gadgets on sale during Shopee's 3.3 Electronics Big Sale as well.

Ever since the Sony PlayStation 5 got released, it was sold out within less than a day. Sony Malaysia did the second batch of pre-order from 8 January onwards but we aren't sure how many went to get it due to the pandemic.

Other than making the PlayStation 5 (PS5) backward compatible with PlayStation 4 (PS4) games, there is another PS4 thing that Sony would like to bring over and it's the PlayStation VR. Currently, the company is working hard to improve the VR experience to match the PS5. However, a leak suggested that they might also be making a totally new VR headset for the next-gen console.

The pre-order of PS5 started on 11 November in Malaysia and all of them were sold out in just one day. For those who got to secure one, congratulations! However, for some, the whole pre-order process might not be that smooth. Other than expressing disappointment towards the stocks on social media platforms, some users have also pointed out Gamers Hideout requiring buyers to go through PWP (Purchase with Purchase) to pre-order the PS5. Today, Sony has unofficially made a statement regarding the issue.

While we’re still stuck here waiting for the Sony PlayStation 5 or PS5 to arrive next month (and the pre-order is sold out already), it appears that this may just be a good thing as new Sony PS5 owners have found a fairly disastrous bug. The bug in question reportedly does not let you download games or apps that you’ve already purchased, particularly Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.

As Malaysian gamers are getting ready for the Sony PlayStation 5's arrival, they might also have to face the fact that the PS5 games will be more expensive as well. According to a news report, Sony officials have confirmed that the usual $60 (~RM248) price tag will be increased to $70 (~RM289). Not all of the game titles will get it, but it will be inevitable for Triple-A types. 

As Malaysian gamers rejoice, Sony Malaysia and PlayStation Asia have dropped the news of the Sony PlayStation 5 launch date which is 11 December 2020. With just a month to go, the pre-orders for the latest gaming console is now live and the stocks in Shopee were already sold out within minutes past midnight. 

After a long wait, the Sony PlayStation 5 is finally going to arrive in Malaysia next month. Earlier today, Sony has posted up the prices of the consoles together with the other accessories'. All of the products will be ready for pre-order by 12 November (at 12AM later tonight!) and will start to ship from 11 December onwards. If you have saved enough money, you can place your order now with Sony on Shopee as they have listed the products on the online shopping platform as well!

After months of anticipation, Sony finally announced details of its next-gen PlayStation 5 (PS5) console in September. Originally expected to launch on 19 November 2020 before the plan was scrapped, but Sony has ended all speculations with an announcement earlier today.

While there is still no official news about the Sony PlayStation 5 price in Malaysia yet, we happened to come across RinggitPlus' Facebook campaign post about the next-gen gaming console. According to the post, the PS5 Digital Edition is worth RM1660.
