Once you go Black, you can’t go back.

ahem. They are an American company...

Do we have any evidence that NVidia will use 7nm for gaming GPUs in 2019?

I thought this came out last year?

Yes. If someone had returned it within 30 days, they could have.

According to Asus, a panel is not defective until it has 5 dead pixels.

I had heard that Onrush completely failed to sell at all (heard something in the order of 1,000 UK physical sales in the first week). Putting it in GamePass was clearly an attempt to recoup some revenue. It does require that you purchase Game Pass. $10/month

So it was OK to sell for $60 a couple of years ago, but not good enough to give a way for free in their subscription service?

Halo: MCC and Quantum Break weren't already in it?

I buy tons of refurbished stuff -- but haven't been willing to touch anything with a screen on it (as I have had friends burned by it) -- I suspect many are returned because of dead/stuck pixels. Asus refurbishing them, will not fix those dead pixels -- most monitor manufacturers see a couple of dead pixels as "normal".

No. But, you may be crazy to buy a refurbished monitor if it doesn't have a return policy that lets you return it if it has dead pixels.

PC first. TV and receiver together (with HDMI 2.1 support).

Inside Battlefield 5: GeForce RTX's most impressive ray tracing showcase "It's also important to remember that this is just the beginning and given tools as powerful as Turing's ray tracing technology, DICE is looking towards a future of rich possibilities. For example, the team mentioned experimenting with ray traced ambient occlusion and even the very novel idea of using the BVH structure for GPU particles - meaning that those particles would have perfect placement in the world regardless of the camera location, which could allow for the acceleration of unique effects never seen before in games. But the big deal here overall is that instead of approximating or faking very important real-time effects in their titles, DICE now has access to realistic reflections along with associated behaviours that are a natural fallout from the ray tracing itself. But equally, RTX on Battlefield 5 right now is still very much first generation work - in effect, the ray tracing toolbox has only just been opened. However, with results as impressive as this appearing out of the gate, I'm really enthusiastic about the technology, even though this is just the beginning. The future's looking bright - and exceptionally shiny."

Don't you need the DLC to really play Destiny 2?

$1,800 at Microcenter! (Go for it, that's 10% off!)

Why would you buy a card from Amazon, enter a 12 digit code on your console, when you can just click buy on your console?

Retailers don't make any margin on the hardware. They only agree to sell it, so that they can sell accessories and software.

Sony/MS/Nintendo still need the stores to sell there hardware -- and stores still sell the majority of games. It's hard to gift a digital game (which believe it or not still represents a huge amount of games sales).

Resting starters just makes sense. The games don't mean anything, so there is no reason to try and win. This is why I don't watch pre-season football.

Ummmm...

I haven't had a chance to watch this yet!

Not wowed by that trailer. Who is making this?

I agree that it has some different gameplay mechanics -- the teleporting, and having primarily melee combat. But, to me, it still feels like Hotline Miami was their primary inspiration. That said, I am enjoying it quite a bit, probably about 80% of the way through. However, I just wish the hired a better writer (the dialog is cringe worthy), hired some voice actors, and spent more time polishing it (difficulty spikes, crashes to desktop, etc.)

I played a good chunk of Mr. Shifty. I would say it was pretty good, if you're coming in expecting a poor man's Miami Hotline.
