Hi, so my PS4 Slim, i bought 6 months ago, worked for a week, then all of a sudden the screen went blank and now it doesn't turn on. I can see the white light on the power button, there is a sound when you hit the power button, but the PS4 hasn't turned on since. Is there anyone reliable you guys could recommend I could take it to in Karachi?

Try putting your ps4 in safe mode, or get a new monitor with hdmi

ps4 500 gb purchase help

Hi guys,

I need to purchase a ps4 500 gb. I am not sure from where. I can buy it from sony centre clifton, but I feel their price is high(45k). I checked the prices on daraz .I found some stores selling ps4 console around 42k. The price difference makes me wonder why these stores are selling below Sony's official price? Please help.

because from Sony authorised store you get the console with official warranty so if something happens to your console within one year you can claim warranty and get it replaced for free and from second year on ward you can still get it repaired from Sony authorised shop but you pay a little money . That is exactly the reason why I purchased my PS4 pro from authorised place in Pakistan . So it depends on you which thing you care more . Initial money or warranty piece of mind for future

Bro you can get any region 2 pal console etc repaired or exchange in warranty.. not only the ones bought from them especially. just need a warranty card valid thats all which does come in uae consoles.the warranty card does have service mega center of pakistan listed in it... im sorry you just paid extra for something that wasn't needed :(

warranty can’t be claimed without a valid payment receipt and stamp .plus they even match the buyer name from receipt to nic card .i have gone through the process once . All in all I am very satisfied that I didnot had to buy the console again due to fault .like I said in my previous post it all depends on your personal preference .i have literally zero regret for paying a bit extra for piece of mind .

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
