Nope. I have + Premium expiring this month and not even the discount will make me resubscribe to Essentials. Too much backlog. I want to focus on games I’ve payed for and don’t get distracted by more titles. I’ll miss GT7 Sport but that’s it. It’s the only multiplayer I play.

Also, Premium at this point is a disaster for PS1 and PS2 titles. Almost a scam.

Premium is lacking, but Extra is very good. I say better than GamePass, simply because the higher quality of PS exclusive titles. Great deal at $99 a year.

Thanks brutha. Two jobs and GOW Ragnarok have been eating a lot of time lately.

But for real though, PS+ Premium & Extra have been such disappointments. If you've been PS+ member for at least a couple of years you already own most of the Extra games thanks to the monthly library. There is almost nothing new for longtime members.

Yeah sure - but I’ve bought them all already so no dice for me. Great for new customers I would say.

Pretty nice deal considering they are really adding goodies to the second tier.

From the past the sale was always around 25%, so if you need it you can pull the trigger.

Picked up a 5800X3D for $329, this is pretty much the best CPU I can get for my old X370, will be an upgrade over my 3700X and should let me ride out this PC for a while (GPU is a 3080 12GB).

Got a few games on my Steam wishlist for Autumn sale, but I'm not fussed. Plenty of games to finish: Ragnarok, Elden Ring etc.
Once I'm done with those Frosthaven will probably arrive for a bit of off-screen fun.

I feel like everyone says this about any TV that's not an OLED but not everyone has an OLED budget. Does anyone else have a different suggestion for a midrange TV with good HDR?

I have this one - https://www.bestbuy.com/site/tcl-55...k-uhd-smart-google-tv/6470273.p?skuId=6470273

works great, brightness is actually a PLUS in this one, its insane how bright it can get, i dont get that complaint. Never seen an issue with hdr either, tv looks great.

Insane low latency as well, and you cant beat getting 4k at 120fps, with VRR, than this price range. I cant afford oled

its also gotten better with some initial bugs, thanks to a bunch of software updates.

My main purpose for this tv is gaming, and for that it is great

What are the most trustworthy places where to buy pc parts IN EUROPE that usually do black friday discounts?

Time to start searching parts for the new build.

Amazon, for most of Europe. I use Hagglezon to compare prices between Amazon shops.
Get a month trial for Prime, and you get free shipping.
But it might be better to look at shops in your own country, as sometimes shipping prices can cut the savings.

I already have prime.

The thing with amazon is that they have by far the best rma but hardly the best prices.

For the latest build amazon was almost always 30-50 euros pricier than small sites.

One have to decide if he want to save more money or buying with the thought that something is gonna break sooner or later.

Samsung and western digital are the brands I trust. I’d recommend looking at the Samsung 980 pro for a deal.

Here is a tip using Amazon. When you find a product, see who the seller is.
Then search it's name on the internet. Usually it's a small store, and they probably have it at a lower price on their own store.

At least in Japan, I find that Amazon's "sales" are kinda phony.

You'll get products that just yo yo between two prices (seemingly weekly) to make it seem like it's on sale when the reality is it was probably the cheaper price for as long as the "regular" price.

I really don't trust super small sites, that's why i asked for some trustworthy sites that are surely way smaller than amazon but still famous enough.

But i'm gonna try your tip, thanks.

man, i havent seen the 512 gig xbox expansion card ever again, ever since it went for $70 (50% off) on target.

Anyone know if more stock if coming or if another sale is happening?

I see the 1tb at $20 less, so $200 instead of $220, but I am hoping that one goes even lower as well...

can we expect gamepass ultimate deals?
