Ths humorous comparison sparked a lively conversation about ultra-fast delivery services in the UAE and India.

Many users commented on the impressive delivery times in both regions, debating which country truly leads in speed-driven services.

While some users were amazed by the quick PS5 delivery in the UAE, Blinkit’s record-breaking speeds in India held more appeal for others.

The discussion also delved into other aspects of quick deliveries. Some users living abroad expressed how much they missed using Blinkit and India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI) for easy, quick deliveries and payments.

One user wrote, “Man, the moment I step out of the country, I miss UPI and Blinkit,” highlighting the convenience of these services in India.

Grab is kinda close, but not really

Other reactions to Irffan’s post brought a mix of humour and reflection. One user joked, “You can complete one game before his PS5 even arrives. India is not for beginners.”

Another user, however, raised a social concern, remarking, “Both countries exploit cheap labour to provide service that comes at the cost of labour safety.”

Not everyone was on board with ultra-fast deliveries, though. One user questioned, “Do we really need it in 23 minutes or 8 minutes? I can just go to a store and buy it, plus maybe pick up some games and accessories.

the UAE is unmatched.

Or, I could even order it on Amazon and wait for a day! It’s not an essential item that we need it delivered in 8 minutes.”

The conversation also highlighted a notable price difference between the two regions with users noting that the PS5 costs ₹54,990 in India, while it’s priced at AED 1,825.00 (₹41,062.50) in the UAE—a difference of ₹13,927.50. This gap left many wondering about the factors contributing to this disparity.

42,000 INR v/s 55,000 INR – I’d rather wait for a few more minutes to get it ngl.
