The Playstation 5 thread

An update on BIS process: For Sony to launch PS5 in India in November, they would have had to send the console (both SKUs) to India for BIS certification 6 months in advance because that's how long it takes. So there may be PS5 units lying around in govt labs since May-June.

 

For PS5 to launch on Nov 19, stock would need to hit India by end of October, which means it would need to be shipped to India from Europe around 1 September (18 days ago).

 

This is the same process for Xbox Series X and if MS has committed to Nov 10 launch, Sony should be able to launch by Nov 19 if they play their cards right. Besides, brands like Apple go through this process every year so it shouldn't be impossible.

 

On a positive note, BIS certification is not needed for peripherals, which is a relief.

 

Is BIS certification for electronics a new thing or has it always been there.

There is nothing wrong in desiring.

 

That said, you can still buy PS2 in India, in those national market kind of shops.

I saw a couple years back, I think it was going for 3000Rs, Less than the cost of one PS4 game.

 

I have been searching locally but no luck yet. Will keep an eye out.

At this point might as well emulate it on any decent rig. PCSX2 is quite good.

second this.

unless ofc the point is to have the "feel" of PS2

If you just want to play the games then emulation is best

 

Yup, I've been using emulation as well. However would prefer an actual console.

Guys, please take the Hogwarts/JK discussion to the relevant game thread

 

 

 

OK, sry for OT, will stop my posts regarding this here.  BTW, thanks for the BIS info. Any idea if Sony actually has put it up for certification as you said? Sony TV Division is pretty prompt in such stuff. Even their highly premier "Master Series" TVs which are uber expensive and the 85"+ TVs which are meant for highly premier customers come out here day 1, without fuss. Hope their Playstation Division has shaped up, after the PS4 sales.

It's not even worth getting from dubai at 42k. Save 8k but there is risk of damage in transit, warranty issues, etc. In India, we might get no cost emi and bank offers so it just evens out in the end. If you take 12 month no cost Emi, that's 4-5k saved in interest. 

 

hmm thats true as well. I guess I should stop worrying about it for now and start worrying when the time comes. Launch plans are out anyway. Will wait it out.

Agree, I thought Dubai would be around 1800 AED, this isnt a lot of savings... I had got my PS4 Pro from Dubai for around 28K INR and AED was around 18 INR then... All these crazy exchange rates seems like better buy in India.. 47K would be a sweet price indeed...

Is that true 

does no Interest EMI exist?!?

 

if true I might not persuade anyone to get for me from abroad next year 

 

makes sense buying from here 

Yes no cost emi on CC does exist, but other than vendor branded cards (ICICI amazon card or Flipkart axis bank card) i have personally not seen any CC company offer no cost on ps4/xbox.

Bajaj finserv did not offer either.

of course, Credit card type of 0% EMIs will be always there on Amazon or FK... the only catch on credit card EMI is you pay VAT on interest every month so its not a ZERO % interest unless there is a Bajaj finance scheme which is a true 0%.. Lets say we get at least like a 3K cashback on this, a good deal for a 45K

Bajaj finserv charges a processing fee though.

But will they offer cashback on consoles? I am hoping for it but I think they might skip it for these.
