Importing PS4

[Hiro]

Amazon has a cracking special on PS4 at the moment. what's the general consensus on importing ? how will warranty work ? Is it global ?

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?

If anything goes wrong with the PS4 you have to ship it back to Amazon.
The warranty is not covered locally.

Amazon handles all of that.
When you got to the checkout it adds the import fess.

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?

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.
Randomly shutting off, or not wanting to turn on.
2nd model is working 100%

Probably had a bad batch but it's about a year since the launch so the newer models should be problem-free.
