It could be extra content sometimes. I know game assets these days can be pretty huge so giant fixes or changes to these could cause it. Might be easier for devs to have people download set portions of a game instead of just injecting or integrating smaller new files for stability reasons too :dunno:Quote:

Yeah there's a 2TB model and there's a tool to format XB1 drives, sorta like the tool to format drives for 360.
I have 2 storage boxes of uninstalled games :wacko:Quote:

Should probably look for a 16TB external at some point, not now though. Prices aren't great for drives like they were years ago.
For this game it's probably fine detail graphics like you can see a nice red mist from a testicle hit even though you're over a mile away, literally :pwacko:Quote:

I'm seeing prices of 299 and 399 and more. Amazon way higher than that. And one Walmart add said 1499 (wtf?!!?) unless they made a typo. Like holy shit.
I got mine for 179.99 provided I got the 2 year warranty which was another 100 and even combined that's still much lower than some ads I've seen. And by ads I mean legitimate shops and not used ones by greedy people on Craigslist or whatever.
The prices are all over the place.
I've seen used series s cheaper (quite a few times) than used XB1X going rate atm.
Used XB1S digital is the cheapest besides used launch XB1.
Sometimes there are good used deals for XB1S but it's rare for XB1X.
Series X prices are crazy dumb. Even used.
Although I did see a broken series X the other day, auction start at around $200aud.
Yeah but these are prices for new consoles at places like bestbuy, walmart, eb games etc. It's ridiculous how higher they've gotten in the last few years. Is it this microchip shortage thing going on?
that would be far more reasonable.Quote:

You're forgetting how expensive consoles got in the late 90's.Quote:

Like 3 times the price.
I think we were a bit spoilt for some years what with Sony and M$ competing with home consoles, but over here M$ was always better value across all gens.
Nintendo is never cheap over here. Vita never got dirt cheap here it just quietly died and vanished.
But yeah those chip prices are killing everything. Even prices for handheld screen mods have gone up and it isn't just because of the chips, it's the panels too.
I have a bunch of gameboys here that need mods and have 2x Lynx on the way. Can't do much with them atm, just too expensive :ugh:
nintendo is always expensive it doesn't help that they rarely drop their prices. forgot to mention scalpers add to the high cost as well.Quote:

So it isn't as big as Halo master chief collection (138GB).

I really like the gameplay better than the first one mainly due to the no stamina bar crap.
Yeah but the point is the prices are going UP. Not down like they did for pretty much everything else. And yeah my first PS1 was 529.99!!!!!Quote:

Have to do a return on the brook adapter that arrived yesterday :rolleyes:
What's wrong with it?Quote:

Wasn't detailed in the listing and didn't know until it arrived. Seller tried to argue that it was "cosmetic" but I got my way in the end, because it isn't cosmetic. The integrity of the cord is severely compromised, this isn't just a case of some marks or scratches on the adapter case :wacko:
The adapter does have "safe hot swap" but that's only on the adapter side for bluetooth and USB. If those little wires break it's the same as pulling an original controller.
I really should do the fuse mod I guess but last time I looked around I couldn't find the correct fuse locally, so I just did the rechargeable battery holder mod. At the same time I did GDEMU install and also dropped in a pico PSU.
There was some messing about but I've repacked it and printed the return label.
Full refund as usual, it's pretty hard for sellers to get out of not doing the full including postage here.
Picture isn't the best...

Yes, it can happen. Another site I'm on went through a little drama with discord server being shutdown recently.
Masj not bothering to pay the rent anymore eh? :PQuote:

I think the Discord is going to be the future tbh. Hope he doesn't kill the forums either, so much history here.
The problem with discord is that it can be shutdown beyond control of admins and mods. Discord themselves can shutdown your server.
Then you have to convince them you haven't done anything wrong. Also, if the server is shutdown there is no guarantee all data will be kept and restored if it gets up again.
With forums yes they can go down, but if backups are made then forums can be restored. Site administrator is in complete control.
Discord is totally beyond your control and it's disorganised. I don't envy anyone trying to maintain order on that.
True.
EP's is pretty simple though. Doesn't really need that much moderating outside of the usual "why no more games on EP" and ad bot nonsense.
So people aren't sharing anything there at all? What's the point? :lolQuote:
