So I heard something terrible. A friend was looking for a PS4 and found a few at a store in Sandton City. This is the store on the bridge to the square opposite Ferrari. What they did, and this is to[censored] on the other retailers too, is they got their allocation and then bought up consoles from the other stores. They then tried to sell the now sold out console for R7.1k and if my friend heard them correctly they wanted to sell you just the console. The DS4 was an extra charge. This along with major retailers breaking street date is [censored]. I know SK and Sony cannot do much but it is [censored].

Well people just shouldnt support them cause when the second allocation comes in this week then that store will look like fools because the second allocation is still at standard RRP of R 6299

Feel sorry for the guys that don't know better and get scammed by stores like that. We have heard of consoles selling for close onto 10k (just the base pack)

Oh well - if you guys are looking we still have some units available on our second allocation arriving this week, available to pre-order HERE

January Allocation on the 10th

I also wish there was a way to turn off the LED on the controller in the settings.
there are people who manually turned it off by opening it and the controller went from 7-10 hours to 20-23 hours of battery life

I've been playing around with the remote play feature, honestly the slight lag and compressed video bothers me, I even used a direct connection for it, I hope it gets better in future.

@ Supa - Hmm I have only heard good things about the Vita remote play feature from customers - Will give it a go tonight!

it's only minor, but this explains better
and there's also a 30fps limit on remote play

not optimal butseems fine to me

Looks cool in white:

looks more grey to me (the bottom one, but the top part is white).
but yes, that looks really awesome

I was just being hateful towards sega, since the other localised yakuza games sold enough to profit (except for the zombie one), but they still just stopped caring about translating it even though they're being bombarded by fans for not translating the 5th game, there were even some localisation companies offering to translate yakuza 5 but sega keeps ignoring them.

and it does matter for importers because these games rely heavily on text, and not everyone knows the difficult kanji these games use (I tried playing kenzan, but ended up using a guide at the end, which doesn't really seem natural to play a game with a guide in front of you)

and holy damn, the ps4 has sold 5.3 mil so far and its not even released in japan yet. that's awesome!

Well I hope since Atlus has been acquired by Sega they can use some of their staff to help with localisation. I've enjoyed all the yakuza games this far and I don't see why Dead Souls got so much hate either. It was a great game, really fun!

Hopefully SEGA fixes up their localisation policies, but if the IP aint selling outside of Japan I dont blame them.

Also, few hours until JPN launch broadcast. Kojima will be there, along with SE's Hashimoto (producer of FF15 and KH3).
Hopefully some surprised make their way into the broadcast, but do not hold your breathe.

were/are you in the launch line?
if so please upload pics

Sorry, I didnt know of any happening in my city, and I dont think I wanted to take a taxi back home (R60 just to get into the taxi) and its incredibly cold here to boot.

But Tokyo area seemed quite busy. Also appears that Sony got stock in for those who could not pre-order... dont expect a sell out.
