What are the precautions before placing an order for a Mainland China PS5?

For Mainland China (National Version) PS5 players, due to system limitations, the preparation work before placing an order is more involved than for non-Mainland consoles. To ensure you can play smoothly and protect your original console data, please be sure to read the following precautions carefully before ordering:

Precautions before ordering for a Mainland China (National Version) PS5
If you are using a Mainland China version PS5 console, our platform will provide services to you via a "System Backup and Restore" method. Before placing an order, please confirm that you understand and meet the following conditions:

1. Core Risk: The console will be formatted (wiped clear)

• Data Wiped: When using the backup and restore method, your PS5 console will undergo a restore operation. All original accounts, screenshots, video clips, and save data not uploaded to the cloud on the console will be completely wiped.
• Backup in Advance: If you have important non-Mainland account save data or personal information on your console, please be sure to back up your own data beforehand via [Settings] -- [Console] -- [System] -- [Backup/Restore].

2. Mandatory Hardware Tools
   You must have the following tools to complete the login process; neither can be missing:

• A Computer: Used to receive emails, download the backup compressed file, and extract the files.
• A USB Flash Drive: The format must be FAT32 or exFAT (the PS5 does not recognize the NTFS format). If the USB drive format is incorrect, you will need to format it on your computer.

3. Delivery and Receipt Method

• Email Delivery: After a successful order, the system will send an exclusive "PS5 Backup File" to your email address.
• Manual Operation: You need to download the email attachment yourself and extract it to the root directory of the USB flash drive. Please note that the file path must be strictly correct, otherwise the console will not be able to recognize it.

4. Service Uniqueness Limitation

• Limited to One Game at a Time: Restricted by the backup mechanism of Mainland China consoles, your console can only activate and play one game from our platform at a time.
• Replacing Games: If you want to play a newly purchased game, you must first complete the "lease return" process for the previous order, and then perform the backup and restore operation for the new order.

5. Purchase Notice (Surcharge)
   Backup Service Fee: The system will automatically match and purchase the "Mainland China Backup Generation Service" for you. When placing an order, an additional fee of 3 CNY (or as displayed on the page) will be charged. This is used for the system to automatically generate your exclusive backup data.

Summary and Recommendation:
If you find operating a computer to extract files to a USB drive and restoring the system too complicated, or if you cannot accept your console data being wiped, please place your order with caution.
