I also wanna hear some Also for ps+ can I pay via debit cards? any other ways? there is a member Dullu ...whose imported PS4's IC got fired ...he plugged the wire or something and after he tried to boot ..it did not work. Thats the only known failure story at IVG. Rest of the guys who imported have not mentioned any problems. I am in two minds also regarding import...i am trying to work out and see if i can get one cheap enough to take the risk so that even if it brokes ...itna ho ki gandh phate ...heart attack nahi ho chahiya . So probably will be looking at used one .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

argruid Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 sony store has it for 1799 AED, is it the best price???? Thats the official PS4 price in the UAE. However, there are gray market US region PS4s available as well for less. 1580 AED is what they were available for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukak2r2 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Is ps4 imported from Dubai requires different adopters to run? Or its same as India? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUGSIE91 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Same as India.. Dubai also use the 240v power input.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Thats the official PS4 price in the UAE. However, there are gray market US region PS4s available as well for less. 1580 AED is what they were available for. If you get US imports from Dubai, you won't get replacement warranty. Only PAL region PS4s will get replacement warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vebk Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 So has anyone here got it from Dubai? Please give our feedback. I am considering the same. The good deals (1500 -1600 AED) are for U.S. pieces, which I don't see the harm in apart from lack of warranty. The one I am considering is Gadegetby,com which has the U.S. Version for AED 1590 (Rs. 27k) - they aren't the cheapest (I have seen as low as AED 1500), but the good part is that they deliver anywhere in Dubai and Sharjah within 5 hours and take cash on delivery. This reduces the inconvenience that would be caused to the person carrying it for me. Worth spending an extra 1,500 rupees. So if anyone has any feedback, please do post (or forever hold your silence! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vebk Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 So here was my experience dealing with Gadgetby.com : sh*t. For all the rubbish they talk about "superfast deliveries" any where in Dubai / Sharjah within 3-5 hours, the !#$!#ers did not deliver at all! I requested my cousin to get me a ps4 from Dubai, as he was there for the weekend, and the first day they were a complete no-show. They gave some lame excuse that they had a large number of orders or something (which looking from their site doesn't seem plausible), and even the next day they didn't deliver. Would not recommend buying from someone so unprofessional. Now I'm back to square one - looking for someone coming from the States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHS2008 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 UK is good option too. Esp. for second-hand one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
