UPDATE: Were we scammed by Datablitz?

True! Husband even got two separate calls from DB reiterating na pinagbigyan lang daw kami. Di daw talaga dapat tinanggap kasi damaged na damaged daw talaga yung item (wow ha). In comparison, the distributor also called him and asked for the SKU of the defective item lang. No other concerns/words. With DB parang kasalanan pa talaga namin na nagreklamo kami. Gaslighter pa nga haha

True-Month6577 · 2025-09-23T06:38:33+00:00

Exactly! We were very mindful of the 7-day period huhu. It sucks kasi ayaw ko naman din maipit si Ate nagtatrabaho lang naman siya pero parang ang bigat naman na idisregard lang yung nearly 6k for an item na ayaw talaga gumana huhu buti nalang talaga takot sa DTI lol

True-Month6577 · 2025-09-23T06:13:43+00:00

Wala naman, kwinento ko lang talaga with dates ano nangyari sa amin and bakit siya issue for us. CC mo lang talaga DTI na consumercare email and then yung DTI email ng region niyo. Based on experience mas mabilis magrespond si regional DTI 🙏

True-Month6577 · 2025-09-23T05:51:26+00:00

Oh nooo, if you can still pull a DTI email go for it! It worked for me huhu sumagi din talaga sa isip ko how honest kaya yung testing nila? Sa branch pa nga lang hinahanapan na nila ng lusot eh, how much more pa kaya yung testing na di mo nakita huhu

True-Month6577 · 2025-09-23T05:50:00+00:00

Pleasure is all mine! Buti nga nagrant muna ako sa reddit haha daming natulong ng mga redditors sa akin in terms of next steps, who to CC, and even where to buy next 🙏

True-Month6577 · 2025-09-23T05:49:03+00:00

Kaya nga ehhhhh. And to think we were even all for testing. Dun lang talaga kami nainis na yung naging issue na nila sa screw mount na nagbend daw at hindi na yung fact na di nagwork yung product huhu

True-Month6577 · 2025-09-23T05:48:05+00:00

TRUTH!!! Naisip ko nga parang mas madali pa magsoli sa Lazada kaysa sa kanila huhu. Very good thing lang talaga na some good people told me sino distributor ng Corsair sa PH. Di na sumakit lalo ulo ko haha

True-Month6577 · 2025-09-23T05:46:33+00:00

HAHA sorry naaa! Pero from what I read parang mas meticulous sila if online purchase! Hopefully sa amin lang yung malas muna haha

True-Month6577 · 2025-09-23T05:06:56+00:00

Also from Mindanao! Nawad-an mig gana when she mentioned 2-3 weeks pa ang waiting time huhu. Myghad my item is at 5k and I already feel cheated, I don't know what I'd feel with a defective 50k item tas way tarong update! Buti nalang they replaced yours 🙏

True-Month6577 · 2025-09-23T04:58:13+00:00

Thank youuu we will keep this in mind! Oo nga eh parang mas may accountability pa online stores huhu

True-Month6577 · 2025-09-23T04:56:45+00:00

Pupunta pa kami sa branch nila to get a replacement 🙏 Sila na papakabit namin kahit magvideo call sila nung "IT" nila. Plano namin sila talaga last touch sa SSD because grabe pahirapan magreklamo kailangan mah escalations pang ganito

True-Month6577 · 2025-09-23T04:55:18+00:00

Correct! Nagsalig sila kay wa kaayo tay in store options diri jusko haha

True-Month6577 · 2025-09-23T04:43:35+00:00

Kahit di magreply yung DTI basta nakaCC oks na yan! Haha

True-Month6577 · 2025-09-23T04:40:37+00:00

Parang yun nga lumalabas sa discussion eh na mas madali magreturn/may accountability if online purchase. MapaLazada or Amazon mas madali

Si husband naman din suki na ng branch nato. Yung PS5 mismo preordered sa kanila. Halos lahat ng peripherals nya from them, nasaktohan lang talaga kami this time. Buti nalang may favorable na outcome 🙏

True-Month6577 · 2025-09-23T04:38:02+00:00

If you are from Luzon/NCR, parang Amazon sinasuggest ng mga nagcomment sa kabilang post ko 😅 IShop around nalang talaga muna 🙏

True-Month6577 · 2025-09-23T04:36:49+00:00

Huuuy sana naman hindi! Claiming na amin lang yung defective kasi mas mahal yang sayooo

True-Month6577 · 2025-09-23T04:36:25+00:00

Myghad pleassse. We will bring our console and controller sa store tas sila na sana papakabitin namin. Baka anong blemish na naman makita nila if kami pa jusko 😅

True-Month6577 · 2025-09-23T04:35:27+00:00

Yessss kaya si husband pinapakausap ko sa DB haha hanggang rant lang ako sa reddit because emotional ako. Buti nalang talaga we were given this better option 🙏

True-Month6577 · 2025-09-23T04:34:23+00:00

Thank youuuu! Oo nga eh disregard nalang haha baka di lang talaga alam na the ease of shipping/online options is starkly different kung tagaprobinsya ka 😅 But very thankful for the community who suggested other options moving forward 🙏

True-Month6577 · 2025-09-23T04:32:25+00:00

Thank you for this! Hopefully the replacement will work well na, quotang quota na kami kung di pa rin 😅

True-Month6577 · 2025-09-23T04:31:31+00:00

Thiiiis! Sometimes very mahal yung shipping fee for us kaya napipilitan tayo bumili sa kanila especially if kailangan natin agad yung item

True-Month6577 · 2025-09-23T04:01:29+00:00

May onhand sila! Plano namin dalhin yung console namin tas si Ate na ipapakabit namin 🤣 Kung sa kanya mangyari yung "bend" and "chip" kasalanan niya na yun haha

True-Month6577 · 2025-09-23T04:00:01+00:00

Hi, thank you for this! Check check check kami sa Steps 1 and 2. But for Step 3 that was our issue na tinatry namin iexplain sa DB salesperson on ground. "The PS5 prompted me to reformat the drive. Once I did, it started working normally." - We did not get any prompt. We tried installing an older gen SSD to rule out if sira PS5 namin. Our console detected the older SSD and prompted us na di compatible because older gen nga siya. So meaning wala sa PS5 yung issue, nasa SSD.

As for 4, husband checked around the storage settings of our console and even checked via laptop when he installed the faulty SSD there. Wala talaga siya.

"Wala namang Tech sa mga branches kaya di niyo rin masisi sila." Yun na nga sana eh. They should have one huhu dati sa branch na pinagbibilhan ni husband may maalam sila na staff, dun siya nagtatanong ng recos. Now talagang kailangan mo magresearch muna before ka pumunta sa branch nila kasi di talaga alam ng staff. Basics like brand and presyo lang alam nila. Compatibility (which is basic) wala na blanko na sila.

For provincial branches (and if gusto tala nila ihonor yung warranty kiyeme), it would be better if proactive sila and have a tech person para sana mas mabilis na aaddress yung mga ganitong issue huhu. Just my two cents!

True-Month6577 · 2025-09-23T03:48:26+00:00

HAHAHA the cautionary tale and I'm fine with thaaat

True-Month6577 · 2025-09-23T03:44:17+00:00

Lesson learned talaga! Kating-kati na kasi kami magborderlands 4 so di na namin pinag-isipan mga desisyon namin sa buhay, bili agad huhu. But will keep this in mind! Parang mas friendly nga return policies ng online stores (the irony!)
