Where does grey market imports come from usually? Usa or dubai? And what are sonys terms if it has any issues ? I heard it was 50% for PS4

Dubai, Bangkok, Malaysia

 

In case of any issue, you are on your own.

 

For my PS4 Pro, I bought couple of months ahead of God of War release and was told, if anything goes bad...it is easily repaired here but obviously at a cost (luckily no issues so far).

 

With PS5 and new tech in it (especially liquid metal), I doubt repairing would be easy here initially but historically PlayStation's have low rate of any kind of manufacturing defects.

This did not cross my mind. Liquid metal in consoles is a new tech and risky to buy  a console at launch/without warranty:scratchchin:

anyone knows grey market dealers in Bangalore? I might as well get one from there instead of importing and dealing with customs myself.


I don’t know what’s the scene with the BRIGADE Road these days, haven’t gone there for almost 8 months now.

 

But there are couple of shops, who keep grey market stuff, one of’em is quite good as I heard.
