My usual console accessories buying rule is always an extra controller followed by a charging station. I did that for my PS4 Pro and Nintendo Switch OLED.
My Sony PS5 “Slim” Digital Edition comes only with one DualSense Wireless Controller, so it is only natural to get another one so that I can play a two players game.
Sony PS5 “Slim” will be officially launching in Singapore on the 20th December 2023. I put the word “Slim” in quotes because Sony is not calling this PS5 Slim. They are still calling it the PS5, which makes it hard to differentiate. PS5 “Slim” model number is CFI-2000.
Sony revised the PS5 model once last year, and people already named it PS5 “Light,” and the model number is CFI-1200. For lack of a better word, the original PS5 “Fat” is CFI-1000.
I am still a novice when it comes to photography. So for all my products shots, they are being taken by my Canon PowerShot S95 point and shoot camera. The S95 has been with me for more than 11 years. Both the battery and the LCD screen started to show signs of aging. So I decided to retire it.
I then switch to my Sony NEX-3N which I bought seven years ago in 2014. However, the moment I turned it on after being left untouched for a few years (I stored it with the battery removed), the LCD screen showed multiple red lines. I mean, it is still usable, but it isn’t very pleasant to use it. I might also retire it eventually.
I was waiting for the rumored Apple AirPods Studio to be announced as I intended to get it. But after Apple announces the AirPods Max, I went ahead and bought the Sony WH-1000XM4 Headphones instead.
At S$849, AirPods Max is not targeted at regular consumers. I am not an audiophile by any extent, so I would not spend that much money on headphones.
I bought it at the same place, Bic Camera Shinjuku West Store, for JP¥2,040 (S$26), excluding tax. In Singapore, the official retail price of it is S$36.90.
The official retail price is S$619 on Lazada, but on 11/11, it drops further to S$559. On top of that, Sony Store on Lazada is throwing in an S$50 voucher for a minimum spend of S$500. To make the deal even sweeter, I have an S$10 Lazada voucher, and I paid using UOB, which gives me an additional S$10 discount.
Its usual price is US$128 (S$173), but for Black Friday 2017, the price drops to US$98 (S$132). It previously qualifies for the free AmazonGlobal Saver Shipping and hence shipping to Singapore is free if your order is US$125 and above.
