You won’t get it for 60k
it’ll start from 100k & keep going down to 50k as the official launch nears
stupidity IMO to buy at that price
wait for official launch ,in two months you’ll experience nothing special
Not in a million years would I pay 100k for it.
If thats the case, will wait till its officially available.

A hypothetical question- assuming the PS5 will launch in India only in January (a 2 months delay, give or take), how much over the most probable MRP of 50k would you be willing to pay to get it Day 1 or so (from grey market, import etc)?
Personally, maybe I could go up to 60k for getting it 2 months early.

If it's true that is such a strange decision to go with a 800Gb drive. I wonder what the limitation or savings are compared to going with a 1tb drive instead.
Because its not a drive. The solution was a custom design to increase bandwidth. These are 12 64GB modules arrayed around the CPU I believe. Its not a single SSD. Hence the results.
Not that I like it, but it is what they compromised on to get a super high speed.

PS5 preorders started in even in Pakistan, still no word about India.
Shows how absolute sh*t PS India is I suppose.

Pretty good marketing for XSX. The only thing missing is them showing Next gen games running on it. Rest everything has been in point. These previews have people excited.

I see a lot of discussion and confusion on HDR etc here. Posting a post I made on Neogaf. Its like an introduction/primer on HDR in layman terms. Hopefully it will help a few people.
Quote
HDR is basically different brightness for different elements shown on screen. For example, if you are in a cave with pitch black darkness, you should ideally see nothing. Then as someone turns on a torch, the torch should be extremely bright. Or in a scene where there is a tree with shade, sunshine all around and then sun in the sky, the sun should very bright, the sunshine area should also be pretty bright and the tree shade should be not as bright. The sun area of your TV should be such that you hesitate to look at it directly, like in real life. This brightness difference in different part of the screen, based on what that part of screen is showing, is basically- HDR.
And how do we measure the brightness? we measure it in nits, as far as the TVs are concerned. The higher the nits, the brighter the panel is. These cheap TVs, they just basically make their panels in such a way that they cover the absolute minimum brightness requirement to get HDR certified. And that is 300 or 400 nits. So lets say you get a cheap HDR TV. You fire up HDR content and then you cant really see any difference between brightness of the sun and tree shade in the scene and you say- what the big deal is about? What is even HDR? It looks same as usual content.
Then you get a good HDR TV, maybe a LG C9 or extremely high end Samsung etc. You fire up the same content. And how the sun is blinding you, the sunshine is bright and the tree shade looks like real calm place- like if you were looking at all those in real life. Then you will go damn! I dont want to look at the sun, the sunshine is making everything bright. This is great! This is like real life.
Then you play games and random sunshine reflecting on water starts looking amazing. The sunshine peering through clouds is mind-blowing. Then you realize how good HDR makes everything.
There is another twist here though, which is part 2 of my post. And these are black levels.
Black levels are basically how dim a particular area of your TV can go. Taking the example of the cave again. We all have noticed that such dark areas on our TVs are never truly black. They look more grayish. This is because all panels except OLEDs, have a panel behind them which lights up. No matter how neatly the panel tries to light up one area and turn off another area, some light will bleed. So when someone turns on the torch in the cave, the light of the torch will light up areas its not supposed to light up too. Because what the TV is trying to do is light up area where the torch light is, but keep other areas as dark as possible. And due to the way TVs work, some light is bound to bleed in other areas too. There is never true darkness. This is something called contrast ratio/black levels.
And when HDR is concerned, as I mentioned we measure it in brightness. But every bright is bright with reference to something. For example, you put a bright sun on a TV screen where all area other than the sun is also white. Both are bright, sun is brighter. Then you put the same sun in a pitch black area, suddenly sun seems much brighter- even though in intensity its the same as it was on a white background.
This is where OLEDs come in. OLEDs do not have a panel behind then lighting up the screen. In an OLED, each pixel can turn itself on and off. So there is no light to bleed. The torch will light up exactly the pixels it needs to, rest will be pitch black. So technically OLEDs have infinite contrast ratio or perfect black levels. Remember the example of sun we discussed above, against white background? Now that everything else is pitch black, the sun seems oh so much brighter. OLEDs can make everything else pitch black. All other TVs cant. So an LG C9, which is around 800 nits, is often judged as brighter by most people when put side by side with a Samsung Q70, which around 1400 nits but is not OLED. This is purely because the darks are so perfect in an OLED, they pop everything else. The brights look so much brighter, the colors look so much better.
So basically what I am trying to say is
4K HDR OLED from LG/Sony/Panasonic>High end QLED from Samsung>Any shitty cheap Chinese sh*t which just barely makes the HDR cut.
In fact, the cheap HDR TVs shouldnt even be in the consideration here. If you want the best right now, go for C9 or CX. You wont be disappointed.
Update- Should mention that in SDR content on Samsung QLEDs still looks brighter than OLEDs, and even in some HDR scenes where brightness needs to fill the whole screen. So if you use your monitor/TV on a very bright room, QLEDs might be a better choice. But if your room is a darker room or at least where you can adjust the light coming from outside, OLEDs become no brainer.
Also, the new Vizio OLEDs also seem pretty good with reasonable pricing.

CX is hot man, can't turn away from that but will it be 1.1L on diwali it has 4 hdmi 2.1 ports right ?
Yes it has 4 HDMI 2.1 ports. Search for and see if you can find a C9 somewhere. Will probably be much cheaper than CX. Ask in local LG stores. They might still have some units and will get good deals. The C9 actually has slightly higher brightness than CX and also has full bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports (48gbps vs 40gbps) although the port bandwidth may not matter much.
I will be apprehensive about the B9 or BX because brightness, along with contrast, is a very important factor in HDR. So lower brightness on the B series is a deal breaker for me. From my experience, OLEDs start seeming brighter, mainly in night scenes, than very bright Samsung QLEDs at around 700-800 nits (QLEDs have around 1400 nits brightness) due to their infinite contrast. The C series have around 800 nits peak brightness. The B series has around 500-550 nits, which may be a little on the lower side. Just my opinion though. I would rather get the C series and be properly blown away :p

In my personal opinion, people should get the LG C9 (or CX. Both have very little changes and pros and cons over each other). I have a C9 and hands down one of the best electronics purchases I've ever done. The deep blacks and infinite contrast make pictures amazing. And HDR needs to be seen to believe. It makes even OK looking games, such as Sekiro, look amazing.
The TV also has 4 HDMI 2.1 ports, 120Hz at 4k, VRR, gsync and freesync. Tough to get better than that. It's completely future proof.

This guy gets it. The C9 is king for a reason.

All people jumping on both Xbox and PS5, rushing to pre-order. Am I the only one here who thinks it's sensible to wait a bit (at least a couple of months), see how both consoles perform, see if there are any Hardware Issues (Like 360 RRoD), let some games (Preferably exclusives) come out, and then buy the console?
The way people are salivating at "Pre-Orders" of expensive Hardware - to the point they are willing to import 50k-60k machines (without travel due to Covid, and hence null warranty and 0 repairs or replacements), abusing Sony India and all - it's like after the 1st November Production Batch, there will be no more next gen consoles in the entire World forever.
I personally am so eager because I sold my PS4 quite some time back, imagining that I will be playing some of my most anticipated games on PS5 via backwards compatibility. I only had a base PS4 and wanted to experience those games in the best way possible. So even if PS5 only supports PS4 pro mode, and not specific enhancements for PS5 over that, it will still be good enough for me. So I have Last of Us 2, Ghost of Tsushima, Spiderman (and miles morales), Nioh 2, FF VII remake just from PS4 era. Then I am crazy excited about Demons Souls remake. So I have had a long wait and Sony India now dithering at the last moment is really getting on my nerves.
Not sure about others, but this is my case and why I am so impatient.

Cant believe XSX available for pre order in India but not PS5 lol
Truth be told, with Nvidia GPUs being super expensive and disappointing (10GB 3080 will not last whole gen if one plays at 4k, which I do) and with gamepass being this amazing value (and now with Bethesda games), I almost pulled the trigger on Xbox series X. Cant believe it. I was so hyped for PS5 but then almost pre-ordered the XSX. Its a good thing that it wasnt available at my pincode :p

Anyway, locked my order from UK. Ready to pay bomb at customs now
Now i hope India launch is delayed

Gotta hand it to MS India and MS as a whole. Clear communication on everything, be it price or date or availability. No bullshit vague answers or ghosting. PS India on the other hand have been nothing but bunch of lazy a*s morons. BIS etc are not an excuse if MS could get them done in time and launch on time.
Yes games are lacking a little bit on the MS side but with Bethesda in tow, their internal studios will soon catch up with Sony.

Are there any such shops in Pune also?

Ya, people dont want her to make any money of them. She getting Royalty is big NO for many. I could care less though. I never liked Harry Porter but this game looks good.
Same. Dont like Harry Potter but that game looked good! Day one!
And I dont care if she gets the money either. I didnt think her comments were hating on trans people, at least thats how it seemed to me. We can have a nuanced debate about whether a 35 year old suddenly claiming to be a woman and entering woman washrooms is a good idea or not (cases such as Jessica Yaniv raise suspicions) or whether some parents are being over reactive on these issues and changing genders of their adolescent children just because the child wore one cross-dress some day. These are complicated topics and I dont think shutting down anyone who even slightly disagrees is a good idea. It is even worse of an idea when a big chunk of public doesnt understand the nuances and sees that as an agenda being shove down their throats (and lets be honest, it is being done to quite an extent).
Went off-topic but yeah, a little more tolerance is indeed needed on the left side.
Edit: Dang. Just saw HPS's post. Do we need to move the existing posts there too?

Not now, maybe 12 years from now.
People anyday offer cash plus PS2 for PS1.
So a straight swap is quite fair.
Could easily have have been ps5 plus cash if PS5 wasn't backward compatible.
What are you talking about? One can walk in into a CEX and get a boxed second hand PS4 pro at 33k, with 2 years warranty! A brand new one costs 38k I think, with 2-3 games bundled in.
That would be some poor soul who will get ripped off here. 40k for a new PS4 pro is crazy, let alone for an old one.

Please tag me too when pre-orders go live in India.
I also hope that they dont bring the EU pricing here. Then games will cost 6k! Damn it they were already too expensive. Went from 2499 to 2999 then 3499 then 3999 and now at least 5k. Fuuuuuuuu.......k.

Waiting for them to be open in India. I think we have only 4 retailers- Amazon, Flipkart, Gamestheshop and Sony online? Right?

If only they had the monthly payment plan like MS has with one X and series x. This would sell like hot cakes here.
Dont we have zero interest EMIs on everything? I guess it's the same thing practically.

Just checked again. Not showing up for me. Maybe some shipping location issue.
Edit: Nope. Tried changing shipping location to Mumbai, Pune etc. Still not coming in Amazon search. Weird.
Edit2: Its sold out on Amazon india. Through google I landed on the page, but says currently unavailable.

I dont think a lot if IVGians are preordering this game or buying at launch. Most likely Used copies on TP will be scarce, unlike Tlou2
What's TP?
Also, why is this game not available on amazon or Flipkart?

How are you guys paying 1$ per month? I am paying like 300 odd rs every month once the promo expired. Do I need to create different accounts each month to get the $1 promo?

If nothing else, we here in India will at least get videos of people unboxing the PS5, walkthroughs of UI, playthroughs of the games, technical analysis of each and every game etc. Usi se dil behla lenge January tak (if it comes in january at all). :p
