I think you warranty is not international afaik. You will be out of warranty should anything go wrong and have to pay Partserve for any repairs.
Is it the special that includes the Camera + 2 games?Quote:

The warranty is not covered locally.
Be sure to add 14% tax, and uptoo 10% handling fee to the total of the price.
Amazon handles all of that.Quote:

You don't pay a cent when it arrives in SA.
Can't you just class it as a gift and waiver the import costs?Quote:

But let's face it, how many people here have a PS4 and have (or had) issues with them?
i did, when I ordered mine through FNB.Quote:

Probably had a bad batch but it's about a year since the launch so the newer models should be problem-free.
Chances of that working out are slim imo...stuff like ps4 tends to be priced somewhat near true price given competition.
Also...did you factor in VAT?
Only thing I'd buy from Amazon on the electronics front is kindles...and there I'd def buy directly
