is there no PS4 Pro??

PS4 pro usually goes for $299 on black friday, but my suspicion is that it might go as low as $269 but that's just from rumour, the usual price is always $299.

DaveHert:


Well you can do that, as it is a faster means of payment but be very careful with Amazon and Gift cards.

In August l loaded my account with $375, then bought a Samsung phone S8 for $200 + 12 tax and had $163 left in my account since then. Late last month I reloaded $10 with my new GTB card successfully to confirm if the card worked properly and it was successful, now had $173.

2 weeks ago I attempted to reload another $20 into my Amazon account using the same card and my account was locked temporarily, and I was asked to refill my billing address, I refilled the same billing address I used on prio transaction and I got a mail from Amazon that my account had been closed for whatever reason, contacted support and was asked to provide the exact billing address, went to the bank to find out that they had updated my billing address so I took it back to support, and was told an account specialist would get back to me.

It's been 2 weeks now and am still battling with this assholes called account specialists, my money is stuck in my account and I can't even Access the account, I keep getting the same repetitive mail of my account getting closed. So I wouldn't advice storing money on an Amazon account, buy with ur card and if it goes through good, if not ur money is still in your bank account.

It seems Amazon has a hobby of locking people's account for no apparent reason, and often times it's people with money in their accounts!

it happened to me once, I bought the cards from some guy, about $600 because it was cheaper buying from him than using Bank Cards.. wanna order for an iPhone 7plus. I was thinking they blocked it maybe because I wanted to ship to Nigeria direct. I lost the acct and the $600. So am thinking since I am shipping to the USA, then there shouldn’t be any problem?? But I will have to load the account with the gift card prior to that Nov 27th or 29th.

I want the pro, because I have a 4k TV

Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated.

You're welcome!

I also have a Samsung 4k TV, but they say cut ur coat according to ur size... It's the slim that can fit into my budget right now. Am personally not really crazy about the Pro.

But sure, if u can afford it then go for it.

Mine wasn't gotten from a third party, a relative abroad sent it as a gift for a favour and he bought it himself from Walmart, I recently contacted him to send me the receipt for it incase they needed that, but they never asked for it, just closed it like that, I wouldn't be all that bothered if it came from one third party that might have stolen or gotten it from fraudulent means, but that is not the case here. They can't close my account simply because I made a mistake in my billing address and support can't even fix it because one anonymous and unreachable account specialist somewhere is unreasonable about unlocking back my account. I am definitely not letting it go, would have pressed charges if I were abroad.

I can't believe u let them have ur $600 just like that, not me. I'll keep bombarding them with mails until something is done about it.

And it's not even about shipping to Nigeria because my shipping address on my account is a US address, only billing address is Nigerian.

Am just thinking They might stop developing games for ordinary PS4 soon because of the 1080p.. Gaming is evolving..

Omo no whahala is too much for $600 oh, unless u have a tree growing money in ur backyard oh.

Well ThankGod for the mail I received from them this evening, that they will unlock my account if I send them my account statement. It's GTB now that is my problem, they can't give me a card statement that actually looks like a statement, just one nonesense pdf that looks like a 5yr old made it up.

abogjohn:

Lol. I can assure you that can never happen. The hardware on the PS4 and PS4 pro are a lot more similar than u can imagine, they simply beefed it up a bit on the pro model so it can upscale to 4k, as a result they can't develop PS4 Pro exclusive games as that would be stupid since both models have the same hardware at heart. Sony specifically said so when the Pro released, that they wouldn't be making any PS4 Pro exclusive
They won't stop developing games for the PS4 in the near future, but priority won't be giving to it again so we won't be seeing many blockbuster games on it anymore, most AA developers will port their releases to the PS5, while the PS4 becomes an after thought.

Smart TV'S are pretty cheap on Amazon, too cheap actually. Below are screenshots of the usual black Friday deals u will likely see.

But the only problem with ordering TV is shipped fee, since most freight forwarders charge based on the weight of items, the cost of shipping something like a TV is a little on the expensive side. Imagine buying a 43inch 4k smart TV for 50-60k and then getting told shipping fee is 70k? Yep that's what happened to me.

And then there is the slim chance of it getting damaged on the way as it is a fragile product.

well u have a point... I would have loved to order one..... D 4k TVs on jumia "red Friday" are ridiculously priced...... I have Ps4 slim, so I don't need one... What other things can I other relevant and affordable shipping cost

AyarmBoye:

Lol my exact thought, Jumia's black friday is as good as a scam. Over hyping the original price of items to make it look like they did a massive discount, whereas they did only a little discount. Deceit!
And don't get me started on their TV'S, all the affordable ones there are all China products from unknown brands, and those from known brands are old models that are overpriced, they try to shadow this by hiding model number and giving vague deceitful product description. I have checked literally every TV on Jumia and the disappointment was on an epic scale.

As for the PS4 slim, a 4k TV does enhance the 1080p to look more detailed and some 4k TV's have HDR (High Dynamic Range) imaging which adds a whole lot more color and vibrance to your display. Am not saying u must get a 4k TV for your PS4 slim, am just correcting your assumption that a PS4 slim can't benefit from a 4k TV.

As for what other things u can get, well that is entirely up to u. I for one will be getting a JBL portable speaker, headset, PS4 slim bundle, a harddrive and whatever else am in need of that is affordable on that day.

abogjohn:

I believe anything below 1lbs is 1k or so, and a pad and a charging dock are below 1lbs respectively. So my guess would be 2k for both, while the console charge is 15k, total should be 17k, Max 18k.

But you can contact him on here yourself to be sure: https://www.nairaland.com/5168636/ebay-buy-it-now-320

The only thing I dislike about the service is the guy that handles his waybill, he tends to overprice things. I paid #1200 to waybill a TV I got from someone in Lagos to PH, while the @payless waybill guy charged 4k to waybill a phone. It was so vexing. That guy will probably ruin business for @paylessnigeria

I would go to a business center and get it faxed to them if the money was mine. $600 is just damn too much to let go. Unless the money isn't legit.

The real reasons that Amazon lock accounts are much more to do with protecting customers from fraud and money laundering. I didn't realize this until yesterday when Amazon called me on 2 different occasions since I have been emailing them and Jeff bezos on a daily base and have been asking to speak with someone. I was surprised when the call came and I spoke with a supervisor and customer support respectively. They have triggers in place that automatically locks your account if you trip any one of them, they were being secretive about telling me these triggers but I got a pretty good idea from our conversation. Here are the triggers:

Failed Credit Card Verification
If you’ve previously had an Amazon account suspended, you may be tempted to enter fake billing details or use someone else’s credit card when opening a new account. And whilst it might seem like a smart move at the time, it isn't. Avoid using fake information or other people's credit card.

You see, when you add a credit card to your Amazon account, they’ll check if the billing address registered with your card provider matches the default address on your Amazon account. And if it doesn’t then prepare to have your account locked very quickly.

Always contact your bank to give you your exact billing address as it is in their system, and use it as it is when adding your card to your Amazon account.

Suspicious Gift Card Activity
On Amazon, gift cards are equivalent to cash on their platform so they have to police them tightly. With Amazon having the widest range of products of any retailer in the world, it has become a prime target for money launderers that want to turn cash into items. This leads to 2 big triggers that usually alert Amazon to lock an account when dealing with gift cards.

Unusually heavy usage of gift cards – Buying and redeeming large values of gift cards can seem unusual so Amazon will want to verify your reasons for it.

Buying Giftcards Immediately Opening a new account – If someone goes onto Amazon, opens a new account and the first thing they do is buy a gift card of a significant value, this will cause an immediate lock on your Amazon account. Again, Amazon isn’t trying to be evil. They simply need to comply with various money laundering regulations around the world. At the end of the day, they love your money and want your orders as much as you want to buy from them.

Multiple IP Addresses In Different Locations
Opening your Amazon account in one location, then making lots of purchases with an IP address in another location can make Amazon start to think “how’s this possible?” and “has your account been hacked?”. So avoid using different VPN location when visiting Amazon. Stick to your normal device IP address to be on the safe side.

High volume of returned orders from your account
Every time you return an item, Amazon has to deal with shipping and restocking which costs them a lot of money – particularly for a company that notoriously sells items at a very low profit margin. That’s why Amazon has systems to detect unprofitable customers that have a higher than average return rate. Therefore if your volume of returns is particularly high, expect to see your account locked.

High value of items being ordered
Another trigger for getting locked by Amazon is an unusually high value of daily orders – particularly on newer accounts. Keep your daily orders below $300 - $500.

Morning! The current deals you are seeing right now are the early PS4 Black Friday Bundle deals that got started by Sony in the early hours of yesterday morning, 6a.m to be exact. Walmart and Bestbuy followed suit immediately, am not sure about GameStop as they aren't on my watchlist.

Amazon has already started their Black Friday countdown deals starting with the PS4 Fortnight Bundle @$199 late afternoon yesterday, but fear not, Amazon always rolls differently because they know that if they start too early they'll run out of stick before they official black Friday. Theirs kicked off early this morning.

PlayStation 4 Slim 1TB Console - Only On PlayStation Bundle https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YLDNTKB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_xG52DbZF70W07

Just so you know my Amazon account was locked with my money in it so that kind of pissed me off... A lot. So when Walmart's bundle went live I immediately placed my order with them. So mine is already getting ready to be shipped. I'll order another from Amazon for a friend. If u need instructions on how to place an order on Walmart let me know as they usually decline Nigerian credit cards due to billing address issues.

I immediately ordered mine from Walmart just to be on the safe side, cause Amazon is insisting on leaving my account closed.

You really should have blurred out the address. There are crazy people on the internet. Except it is an office address.
