Wait...is that 6000 reais? That equals to 1200€...basically more than twice the PS5 price in europe.

That's insane!

Did i make some mistake? No way those consoles will ever leave that shelf, lmao.

It's what you get if you live in a country that's governed by true idiots.

They think they can compete by imposing heavy tariffs (naturally, to skim some off for themselves), and then can't actually produce anything let alone compete in some areas.

Then there's GameStop, who AFAIK is still forcing bundles. At least for the Series X (which includes 3 months GPU, 1 controller, and I think a $50 GameStop gift card).

They suck.

That's right, but i don't think it's that expensive, we are used to pay premium, I payed R$3900,00 for my XsX using some discounts

A OLED C1 55" is around U$1100 here, so not everything is expensive, also, healthcare is cheap, I pay less than 8 dollars a month to have full dental coverage, including whitening and everything else

So it's mostly technology and not all of it.

It's still weird the disparity between Xbox Series X and PS5 in prices...or are they priced the same?

Check amazon bro. They have disc version bundles with GT7, an extra controller and the headset for about 3k AED.

Sold by amazon as well, not a 3rd party seller.

Thanks GHG , it is mainly not for me but my friend. He, however, is still trying to find a cheaper bundle since he has no need for a second controller (you can buy physical games cheaper in places like hamed center in abudhabi, Sindbad and Kabul in al Ain, I think khwaneej in Dubai?).

but I will keep a closer eye, did not know amazon started giving reasonable bundles as the only place I saw them were in Jumbo.

and Fuck Toy's R Us! they still scalp it for like 50% more.

I think you need a second controller if your gaming sessions exceed 6-10 hours depending on the game unless you're comfortable with a wire for recharging. The Pulse 3D is a must as well.

I had this talk with him before but I doubt he plays that long. he historically had few games in hand through all of ps4.

Plus the new baby of course.

Yeah my 3.5yo girl is getting her pink PS5 soon. Fucking yelling at me all the time "Robot! Robot!" to play Astrobot.

I tried to buy a ps5 and I got scammed twice, for a total of 2400 euros...and no ps5 yet. Now I am traumatized

That's too much money, mate. Hope you walk into a store to get it comfortably soon.

Yeh at khwaneej and computer plaza you'll be able to get cheaper games/peripherals. I know from experience that at computer plaza you can always negotiate for a discount if you're buying a few things.

Get him to also look at geekay, I have a friend who got a bundle from them a few weeks ago. What's really good about them is that they are also on instashop so he can get it delivered within a couple of hours.

There was another drop here in Aus last night. While i was sleeping. They are all gone now of course.

Believe it or not, we get our oil from Venezuela. Why? Not sure, there is like a law in OPEC or something that you shouldn't use your own oil inside your country, which is pure lunacy.

In Saudi Arabia we use several million of our own production in our petrochemical industries.
It's probably because the grade of Venezuela oil is similar to Omani. different grades require different processing and not easy to switch. Also why it's not simple to switch from Russian oil if your factories are built for it.

 

[roosnam1980]

so how do i become a citizen of OMAN?

Ok now that makes much more sense.

I could trade my passport for the right price.

Just checked geekay on instashop and they claim to have some single game bundles in stock:

There's also another one for Horizon FW at the same price. Instant delivery from 10am.

That's a good price, I think, sitting at $734 USD.
