List of all Gafers in Asia who are getting PS4

I recently switched to PS3 from my 360 and only have 2 people on my friend list who are currently in Asia, including 1 from GAF.

So I would like to find more people to play with when PS4 will be released. I will bookmark this thread and try to keep it updated every day.

Please reply with your PSN ID, your location or timezone if you don't feel like sharing your location. Also you can name few games you are planning to get to play online.

If you add fellow GAF member, please be polite and leave a note with your friend request, lot of people, me included, ignore most of friend requests without any note.

I will start with myself:

PSN ID: Shizo
Location: Shanghai, China (GMT+8)
Games: getting Killzone with my bundle from Amazon on November 19-21, will get BF4 and Ghosts on 29th when Digital version will be released on PAL store. Will get Destiny when it will be released.

--------------
If mods think it's not thread worthy feel free to lock, but the only other thread with PSN names is not being updated and have people from all over the world. I would like to keep a list on people from Asia because of time differences and internet connectivity/latency (the latency from Asia to US West is barely acceptable, and is 250ms+ to EU/US East/Australia).
--------------

Shizo - China, Shanghai (Killzone/Ghosts/BF4/Destiny/Diablo 3)
fongvita - Malaysia (Killzone/Knack/FIFA14)

You and me both buddy, I have Russian PAL account but considering jumping to US since it's cheaper and faster to buy there. + all the DLC compatibility issues. Anyway I've added you, if you will change your PSN ID, just PM me or drop a reply, I will edit it.

Getting the PS4 from Amazon on launch. Will probably arrive here a week later. As fpr games, getting Killzone Shadow Fall and Knack. Will also download Warframe for a test drive.

BTW Derpcrawler, which ISP are you using in Shanghai and how's the connection if you don't mind my asking? My GF is also in Shanghai and her overall (internet) connection sucks. While her PS3 detects the PSN connection as NAT2 but the Vita says it's NAT3.

I am on China Telecom fiber, it's pretty decent except for upload speed. I can hit 15-20Mbps to US with 130-140ms latency, and it's pretty good to Asia in general.

No other GAFfers from East Asia? Hoping to add more of you guys.

Also, for JapanGAF, I've had good connections with Australians when playing BF3, so you might want to add some AussieGAF to your friends list if you'd like.

Well, I certainly won't be getting a launch model but there's a decent possibility that I'll pick one up around Chinese New Year, posting just as a reminder

I'm getting one, either on release or very soon after ( depending on when in December they're releasing ), but yeah... undecided on new PSN ID.

Planning to start anew my Playstation identity by foregoing my existing PSP/PS3 ID, and build one that will be best suited for a mixed digital + retail future. >:3

GMT+8, Killzone : Shadow Fall.
 
I

industrian

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
I am unsure whether or not I will get a PS4, but knowing me I will probably bite eventually. It won't be at launch though (unless my girlfriend buys me one for my birthday...)

With that said my PSN is "industrian" and I live in Taipei.

I don't get why people do this, especially if your previous gamertag/username has been in use for a prolonged time. Why walk away from a legacy like that?

Depending on price and availability here, I think I'll join the party within December.

Click to expand...

Main reason is that it feels very separate from my existing 'online' identity that I've built up elsewhere. ( other forums, social network, etc) It was made in a more whimsical time, when I basically had multiple nicknames/passwords/etc for every different service due to paranoia.

I've always bought my stuff retail, so I lose nothing, and I don't really benefit from PS+ or anything of that sort much, due to it being an Asian account. I also could give zero rats on Trophies/etc, so those unquantifiable stuff don't matter to me.

So I felt like a new console launch is a good chance to link back my gamer 'identity' with my existing 'social' identity by starting anew.

You can also count me in

PSN ID: SpaceCobra

Initially got the Watch_Dogs bundle on amazon but now I'm left with just the console and thinking on downloading AC4 as soon as I get the PS4, which should be around the 22nd.

Same date for me as well on Amazon page, I hope UPS won't screw up the customs as always (when they charge you import tax again, on top of what Amazon secured for deposit). Added you to the list.

Is amazon shipping your order directly to China? They wouldn't let me so I had to go through a forwarder. As for the taxes, I wasn't charged any for my last few orders so hopefully it stays like that for the PS4

Yay, more JapanGAF for my friends list.

Also, I'm getting my PS4 as a present from a friend, who ordered it from Play-Asia. I have no clue when it will arrive, but probably early December at the latest. Hope it comes close to launch date. Do you guys know anyone getting a PS4 from them?

Why not directly from Amazon? Also Play-Asia makes huge profit margin on consoles. They always have them at least 50% more expensive compared to RRP.

I dunno, my friend is the one who placed the pre-order with them. He probably wasn't able to get an Amazon pre-order in time.

I was worried about import taxes on the console into Korea so decided to just wait for the launch here.

Is it? Then I must be mistaken and he has a reservation instead. I honestly don't know how Play-Asia works.

17% for China. Plus if I will get lucky UPS will goof the tax and I won't pay anything, so my deposit will get refunded. Two out of 5 orders I made from Amazon that got delivered by UPS were not taxed. But it doesn't really bother me, sellers on taobao.com (local commerce platform) charge 3999RMB for PS4 solus system, which is ~660USD and that's HK one, scheduled to release in December. I got Killzone Bundle (game + year PSN Plus + console) for 626USD total with tax and shipping. In case UPS will screw up taxes and I won't get taxed Amazon will refund me 91USD. If not, it's still a better deal than buying here or from HK.

Why? China is in the list of eligble countries for shipping if the item is sold directly by Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201074230

The majority of items in Amazon's product catalog (automotive, baby, clothing, consumer electronics, health and personal care, home and garden, industrial and scientific, jewelry, pet supplies, shoes, software, sporting goods, tools, toys, video games, and watches) can be shipped to the following countries:

Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Kuwait, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Oman, Panama, Peru, Philippines, Portugal, Poland, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Uruguay, Venezuela
Click to expand...

But don't change it, lot of people screwing around with their pre-order details got pushed down the line on PS4 pre-orders wait list.

Don't get rip off, just wait a week or 2, info of Malaysia launch date is coming.
There are media events happening for Asia PS4 everywhere.
Nov 5 for Taiwan
Nov 7 for HongKong
Nov12 for Singapore

My guess Malaysia get PS4 early December. I know I'll be joining midnight launch.

I'd consider Videogamesplus.ca. I'm not sure how they are now, but way back in 2007 I ordered my PS3 from them: Canada to the UK. I asked them if they could mark it adequately enough to get through without incurring import fees and they agreed. Shipped via DHL, it incurred no fees, perfect customer experience.

If you're in China just import from or take a weekend's vacation to Hong Kong and pick one up then. But I'm sure the guys checking your bags in China will love that. When flying from Edinburgh to Taipei via Xiamen, the customs officials took repeated interest to my DVD bag full of my games. I thought they were going to confiscate it at first, but they let it through.

If it's in Korea? Just wait. You'll probably get it cheaper in Yongsan than you ever would importing it.

They do, I have HK PS3 and PS Vita and it's same layout as for Japan. But it's driving me crazy, since lot of games, especially on Vita are very inconsistent with whole X/O swap.

Also strange, are you sure you selected Amazon as seller? I am able to buy pretty much anything from Amazon as long as it's sold by Amazon LLC.

well ps3 slims are about 330 in Korea at the moment. I am expecting the ps4 to be around 700-800,000 won. Sony products are always quite expensive here in general.

Sony better do a midnight launch in Korea. They have a dedicated ps shop in Yongsan, but is only to show off tech and you can't buy. Flipping annoying. Hopefully that will change for launch. or that might use a big sony store like COEX

Yep just tried it again just now for a DS4

We're sorry. This item can't be shipped to your selected destination. You may either change the shipping address or delete the item from your order.
