MrOde very good point! I'd pay extra for express overnight shipping.
HaseoVII SAME regarding FF7Rebirth (best believe I preordered Revelation though
)
I am such a huge fan of Nexus Hub - no one else in SA imports the niche titles - I used to need to get my stuff from Amazon Japan/US

I'm not looking to start a bad thread about this, I was really just curious because I misclicked the tab on the left and stumbled upon the poll (I'd never clicked it before).
I am fiercely brand loyal to Nexus Hub and I don't care too much about not getting a game day-1. I know other names like BT and Koodoo ship earlier so you get it on release, but I'd never be "that" excited that I must play day-1, life happens
On the other hand, paying an extra R150 every time you order a commercially available title does add up, and I would not blame the average consumer for trying to save some money.
I know I'd feel less off about it if there was a price match, and free delivery at a certain threshold.

"The documents reportedly note that there will be no NEO-only games and NEO mode cannot include exclusive features unavailable in the base version, so you won’t end up missing out on new releases or content if you can’t afford or choose not to upgrade."
Thats all I'm worried about!
That's good, but then why TF upgrade now. More stable framerates? Something here just doesn't gel for me. I can understand an new SKU to include the VR co-processing HW in the unit so you don't have two units in your entertainment unit, but just to improve framerate and enable better 1080p gameplay sounds like a weird reason for this.
This is almost as if Sony were going the upgrade route, realised that people would be upset and decided let's just push out a system that isn't required but can be used. Either go with a modular, incrementally better system or don't.

I'm gana call it now, its gana be a total FLOP!
@KF don't think so as I am assuming that they will stop manufacturing the current SKU, so instead of a slim we are getting NEO (Notice the Matrix theme in code names?) Unless I get struck by lightning again I won't change my PS4.
@Scottie IMO a dumb way to do it. Just release a slim with upgraded drive to push 4k media adoption. Splitting your game playing base could backfire spectacularly. Imagine UC4 having two different "versions" (MP at 1080p and 60FPS on NEO and 720P and 60FPS in old PS4s) That 35m install base for the old PS4 will lose their[censored]

Eurogamer says it's confirmed.

Must Read article - will annoy many though
How PlayStation Neo and the original PS4 will co-exist
"However, In terms of hard and fast technical guidelines for Neo rendering, Sony offers this:
Games running in Neo mode must operate at a native rendering resolution of 1920x1080 (1080p) or higher.
A game's frame-rate must meet or exceed its equivalent performance level on base PlayStation 4 hardware.
It seems that there are no new guidelines for ensuring rendering or performance standards on the existing PlayStation 4. One worry is that emphasis may shift to Neo, resulting in poorer experiences for the older hardware. "

Silly question time...
I want to get Dark cloud 2 (Dark Chronicle) of the PSN network for PS4
It's not available on our PSN (Sa? version)
But it is available on the American one
So do I need to create a new account, buy american credits and then buy the game for that account?
On a side note, any idea when we can buy the game in SA without to money laundering?

A US account is useful as they have a ton of sales and the prices tend to be cheaper than our store even with conversion issues. You need to create a fake US ID, there are ton of fake name and address generators on Google, and set it up so that you use vouchers instead of a card to make purchases.

@Teb - Dark Chronicle is on SA store for R218/3.2GB. Was on sale a few weeks ago at half price (with most PS2 classics)
SA store uses UK names
e.g. Bully = Canis Canem Edit
Huh?
*searches
Oh... for some reason just searching for "dark" gives no results for it...
Have to search for the complete name
Rather dumb...Thanks Scottie
