News & Reviews:   Sony Playstation

Sony have recently announced that their upcoming next-generation PlayStation 4 gaming console will be released in Malaysia and other selected Asian Markets in December 2013. The selected markets include Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan. The PlayStation 4 will come with the console and certain peripherals (probably just one DualShock 4 controller). However, extra controllers, charging docks and the PS4 camera will also be made available at the same time. Unfortunately, still no pricing or exact Malaysia release dates for those of you looking to camp out for the usual early bird combos. Stay tuned and we'll keep you updated as to any new developments.

At the recent Gamescon 2013, Sony announced that their Sony Playstation 4 game console finally has officially confirmed release dates. However, these are just for the markets in US and Europe with the release date for the US being 15 November 2013 while the release date in Europe is 29 November 2013. According to previous reports, the new Sony Playstation 4 game console will be offered at $399 (RM1320) in the US and EUR399 (RM1763) in Europe. Toss in shipping of about $100 or EUR100 and you could see the total price being $499 (RM1651.94) or EUR499 (RM2205.50) if you can't wait any longer. Rest assured though that the console will be launched in 32 other markets, including Malaysia but no specific release dates or pricing for Malaysia was made available just yet. We estimate that it should arrive in early 2014 so start saving up now and perhaps get your camping gear ready for the inevitable early bird special promotions.
