Series S/X launch prices are ridiculous here.
Series S will be $499aud
Series X will be $749aud :doink:
I think I could get $200aud trade for my One S, but selling it myself I could get back what I originally paid. There are hardly any new consoles around atm due to serious restocking issues so used prices are inflated.
Had a look around yesterday to see if I could spot any brand new One X consoles, there are a few but people want like $600aud or more for them.
Used isn't cheap either.
Covid madness.
The X looks like it's gonna be 599 here.
Our currencies usually hover reasonably close to each other, so yeah that's only like $620-30aud.Quote:

Yeah the S was a good price. Got mine for 179.99 brand new - they knocked 50 bucks off if I got the 2 year warranty for a 100 bucks so in a way I got it 50 bucks cheaper but at the same time paid 50 bucks more.
Mind blown.
It isn't insane to get $250aud or more for a used S now, if it's boxed it'll be more.
Covid has made people crazy and desperate.
Funny thing is the replacement 4k drives can be had for around $40 new, some people must've stockpiled them here.
God fucking dammit I'm pissed. I just bought my third broken DS Lite from a thrift store (they've all cost basically nothing). The 2 previous ones had broken screens, but this newest one had 2 working screens, and was one of the pretty metallic red ones, but the DS cart slot didn't work. This should be the easiest fix, it's just swapping a perfectly functional mainboard from either of my other DS's. But nooooooo! God fucking dammit, doing this simplest fix required touching that top screen ribbon cable. Now this newest DS, is fucked. I couldn't have handled the top screen any better, but it's kaput. Why the fuck are DS Lite's such trash systems :|
Hmmm, when Walmart starts doing layaway again I maaaaaaay decide to put that TMNT Arcade 1UP on Layaway.... :thot:
Especially since hours are going to be pretty good for me at work... :wacko: I'm part time but I'm getting basically full time hours which kinda blows me away. Hopefully I get enough to get a PS5 too when it launches...
But first I need to get myself a new camera. :wacko:
I see so many of them I don't bother fixing faulty units now.Quote:

Throw all the faulty units in a box and get rid of them via craigslist or whatever.
Aww dammit, redump.org isn't working :(
Wanted to check disc variants and languages for an xbox title.
Yeah that all sounds like the right opinion. I don't even need a DS Lite, I just wouldn't mind having one and I'm not opposed to tearing hardware apart. But DS's are the biggest pieces of shit I've ever taken apart. I'm only out $11 (and time) across the 3 broken DS's I've touched, so I'm just counting this as an educational investment.Quote:

At work I see them all the time, I have enough fully working units myself now and I even gave some to my sister's kids a couple of years ago.
Oh goody.
Found Metro Exodus Aurora Edition and Bully SE US release for XB1, new but reasonable prices locally.
I think Bully won't have the manual but pretty sure I have one in my spares box (covers/manuals/maps/etc).
Welp, been mucking around with Fallout 76 the last few days and have to admit the game is much better now after all these updates since I got it over a year ago :bounce:
Are you still seeing levelling issues?
Not really no. All enemies I've encountered are my own level. I don't really stick around other players though.
I never stick around other players either but always had issues with higher lvl players being somewhere nearby.
So except for the very start of the game where enemy levels are locked low, I was always dealing with bullet sponges.
It was like 12c, overcast with a little rain 2 days ago.
Now it's sunny and humid in the high 20's.
It isn't even summer ffs and I don't live anywhere near the tropics :drag:
I got a seasonal job. I'm seriously tempted by that TMNT machine. I wish there was more than just Walmart selling it. Also, it didn't rain and its still smoky, but not as bad. Hopefully it rains, the West Coast needs it.Quote:

90% of these wildfires are arson caused by knucklehead protesters during civil unrest.
Arsonists are everywhere though. If you have more than usual surely it isn't much different to vandalism during riots?
In the case of large scale fires with multiple starting points it's an indication that you're having a very bad year.
It happens here too, but it isn't just because there are thousands or even hundreds of arsonists.
There are large fires in Siberia again but I don't think they have an arson epidemic.
LMAO, very astute observation. 84% are arson worldwide but I'm accounting for the overwhelming number of civil unrest knuckleheads in the US. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart...ans-180962315/Quote:

Arson is one of the main tactics used in sabotage which is why it's popular during riots. Some things never change, civil unrest and an overwhelming number of saboteur knuckleheads is one of them in the US.

Welp, pretty exciting around EP this weekend :bored:
The smoke has mostly passed. Little rain though.
The more things change, the more things stay the same. :wacko:Quote:

Going to the main EP site says that the domain has expired.
I just popped on and it works for me :dunno:
Maybe someone was tooling around.
