I'm just gonna get a carpenter to do two huge planks against the wall in my living room (along with some additional custom storage) and that'll be where my consoles go.

Samurai Sanders posted:Maybe somewhere, but every ISP I've had in Japan has been faster and more reliable than every ISP I've had in the US. Rural US internet is famously bad as well. I get 200mbps down in Australia and were supposed to be bad. Although the government just announced they're going to fix it to be the way it was going to be before Rupert Murdoch sabotaged it. And xcloud is coming in 2021. Still no sign of Stadia.

Neddy Seagoon posted:The problem is a lot of people got hosed with cost-cutting ideas like Fibre to the Node. The idea was you stay on regular copper out to a substation that then goes onto a fibre cable from there. The problem in practice is that unless you live reasonably close to the Node (<1km-ish) you're not getting better than ADSL speeds because of physics. The fix is better ideas like Fibre to the Curb, where you get a box in your house that connects and powers a device out in the street to convert from your copper network at home into the fibre cable running down the street. Yeah this video did a good job of explaining it all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuxLmrN0YPM

MechaSeinfeld posted:Videogames were like a $110aud for a bit here. I think for like gta4 and Red Dead. Maybe some others, I can’t remember because I never bought them at that price. Weird to see it’s sprung back up. And like, in all shops too not just eb games. I've got everything I want on ps5 preordered for $79 aud on Amazon and series x is even cheaper at $69.

Detective No. 27 posted:Wow. PS5 is $150 more expensive there than in the US... But the controllers are $20 cheaper, so I guess it evens out. Wages are way higher here. I'm getting like $56k plus transport and phone paid for my lovely entry level immigrant job. Way better off than I was in Vancouver. Basically everyone gets $25+ an hour. Although electronics are disproportionately expensive. I want an LG cx and it's $4300

Neddy Seagoon posted:Plot twist; I think those emails either went out to every EB Games member, or at least anyone with anything remotely-related to a PS5 preorder. My console is through JB Hi-Fi, but I preordered a game and the media remote at EB Games and got that email too. Yeah I got two, one for my ps5 and one for the series x external ssd. Got orders scattered across multiple retailers.

kaesarsosei posted:Has there been any definitive analysis/comparison of the noise level between PS5/XBoxX? I'm a current PS4 owner and the even with all the talk of Gamepass vs PSPlus, specs, looks etc, the number one issue for me is the amount of noise my PS4 makes. Dont really expect that to be an issue this gen. Even the One X was silent.

Does GoT get more interesting? I got to the point where there was forced stealth with your girly friend and gave up because I was bored outta my mind. Feels like an Assassin's Creed game from 5+ years ago. I like AC but would never play those again.

JBP posted:Are you talking about literally the first mission? You don't have to stealth much outside a few story missions. The combat owns. No, later on when you meet up with her again and have to escort people through a village unseen. A few hours in. The combat is good but the story didn't grab me so I lost interest.

Those who do 5 minutes of research are approximately 95% of Sony TV customers. (Not a horrible choice really but I can't imagine turning down LG after doing research)

fappenmeister posted:I have looked at the LG OLEDs in the last few months, but budget was a major factor in the choice I suppose. The LGs cost around AUD$1000 extra last I checked, and the Sony is a bedroom TV for now. I know burn-in isn't a huge deal these days, but also something I didn't want to think about. Definitely something I'm going to look into again when I buy my own place, keen on hooking up my PC to a big screen. Yeah I went with a B8 rather than the newest model due to stupid Aussie prices but now kinda regret not getting 2.1 hdmi compatibility.

Escobarbarian posted:My parents have a 4K HDR LG and it’s slow as hell. As someone who uses the built-in smart TV apps over a Fire Stick/Roku/etc, I couldn’t handle that. The UI is slow? Generally LG is considered to have the best UI as well. Maybe they have a mid ranger model? The praise is usually reserved for the C or maybe B lines.

Real hurthling! posted:2.1 isn't going to be worth the upgrade this gen imo. the best balance of performance and gfx modes on these consoles is not going ever be 4k 120 fps for more than a few games. I play RS Siege a lot and it's confirmed 120hz so that alone makes it tempting.

DuffMayhem posted:I think 120hz is kind of the norm for 4k TVs these days. My 4k Sony is over a year old and has it. You need HDMI 2.1 to run games at 120hz though, which almost no one has. I have an lg b8 that is 120hz but HDMI 2.0.

Bioshuffle posted:If I want to wait for the 2nd batch of production models, after they've worked out the kinks, how long of a wait am I looking at? I've never been one to jump on the first generation consoles, as you're basically paying them to test out hardware on their behalf and endure all types of failures. I learned from the red ring of death. I know better. The 360 was the only console with major problems and they fixed them for free for years? You're just as likely to have a fault on the second batch.

henpod posted:So, I don't know much about much. In terms of comparing to a high-spec PC, is the PS5 kinda powerful, or is it underbaked? I mean, I know the devs can use the SSD and make games for the PS5, but in terms of raw power, is it already behind, or is it fairly beefy? It's behind a state of the art 2020 PC but will be better than what 95% of PC players use. No gimped CPU this gen.

Did they ever show gameplay of destruction all stars? I've played and mostly beat every game in the PS plus collection, with the one exception of RE7, and didn't even have a PS4 between 2018 and 2020. Was surprised Shadow or the Colossus was not on there as that's the one game I never got around to.
