Thanks all for your suggestions.

Yes I guess 80ms is playable.

I used to have 5ms ping when I was living abroad. For Call of Duty, I think it made a difference.

I want to wait it out until I can get sub 10ms ping again.

i have 9 years of experience playing with high ping and that includes high ping to NA and EU servers, you do have to get used to high ping yeah you'll suck at first but after a few hours your aim will re-calibrate to the difference which if 80ms translate to 0.08 seconds. It does make a difference playing on low ping but that's only in higher rank leagues of gaming for example games like cs:go and valorant where you can snipe and every millisecond matters you can still destroy everyone unless you are playing against plat or lem players as that is when ping and input lag starts making a difference. I play valorant with my friends from the UK and even with my 80 ping I am always the top fragger but that's because i'm in gold and not high ranking, as for call of duty well its a really popular game i've owned the past 3 on pc the entire middle east plays it and you will 90% of the time have full middle eastern lobbies which means they all have 60-100 ping to EU servers. what i'm trying to say you don't have to stop playing just because you now live in Lebanon, yes you are disadvantaged but it isn't that big of a deal unless you want to play professionally or at really high ranks.

Agreed, it's a bit of "The Fox and the Grapes" for some here... Especially dismissing single player games as having no value. Or being Pro-"insert hardware company name here" lately, with -full respect- is a bit childish.

I wouldn't buy it from them, didn't have a very good experience when I ordered an item once and they wouldn't reply or answer the phone, and when I gave up and bought it somewhere else the delivery guy showed up after a month.

They said I need to put down 1.5M deposit, and I can get it in person on thursday.

Edit: Ordered anyway, let's see where this goes.

Thank you, I will take your advice. No I'm not pro or anything like that. It's just about the experience.

Re: PlayStation 5 Officially Announced

We know scaplers have been selling the PS5 for prices reaching 1000 USD , due to high demand and low supply. Now there is an unprecedented form of PS5 selling LMFAO. The end of the world is near.

Re: PlayStation 5 Officially Announced

@AVOlio, don't assume everyone bought a PS5, you have no idea of the number of units Spyness or any other reseller actually had ordered, nor how it reflects on how many units were sold at the launch of the PS4.

you are on a public forum, if you don't believe that people are in deep shit, just get out of your apartment and walk outside for 5 mins please. If after that you're still not convinced and are in a position to help, please DM me so to actually have a positive impact. it's all hands on deck.

yeah the stock was actually very limited, I would be surprised if it is >1000 units over lebanon.

Re: PlayStation 5 Officially Announced

It was around <50 countrywide. People are dying from hunger, people can't get their money from the banks and people have no work and income and if they do it's trash income unless you receive money from abroad (which I think you shouldn't spend it on this anyway) or you work abroad or remotely then you're in the best shape you can ever be in. Also Phonefinity, sony world, nino and other stores cannot stock due to covid and they all told me it will be available after the lockdown ends. Gadgitech had 3 units only and they all sold out today and you had to put a deposit to get one.
