Computer games and that

The license on this runs out next month, so last chance to grab it if you’re into your Japanese carts.

This might also be of interest.

A while back I registered with Sony for the opportunity to buy a PS5 if they ever get any stock.

It appears that at 9.30 tomorrow I should be able to buy one. w00t. Although nothing is guaranteed and it still looks reasonably complicated so a geriatric like me may yet mess it up.

My old PS4 is really on its last legs, with the fan going at full tilt permanently (yes, I’ve blasted it to kingdom come with skooshy air) so this is Good Thing.

My son has been upping the ā€˜suggestions’ I get one but, as well as availability being an issue, I’d need to upgrade the TV upstairs too so it might have to wait a bit yet.

If that isn’t an excuse for an AVForums-group-test-that-doesn’t-get-returned roulette, I don’t know what is.

I think the TV I’m using is simply HD rather than 4K or anything, but frankly any console that isn’t suggesting that it might explode at any moment will be a significant improvement over the current status quo.

Also, Ratchet and Clank.

Free tellys are hard.* I’m going to be quoted on a ex-review Philips OLED presently which would go downstairs pushing the current OLED upstairs so we’ll see what happens.

*I mean ones that aren’t shit anyway.

Yeah, thanks Sony. That works really well.

Ooh, on the n’th time of trying, I’m in. I think I’ve added one to my cart, but checking out it proving tricky.

Honestly, you’ve basically just organised a DDOS on yourself. Then it’s a big surprise that everything blows up.

Stone me that was painful.

Thanks for that, late for one call and haven’t paid the slightest bit of attention to the ongoing meeting…

There was a bug game that was very similar I think….

Four and a half hours I’ll never get back.

You’ve only just got going, there’s much more :smiley:

That’s why I don’t play games very much anymore…

Hahaha.

Beer deliveries come in boxes that say ā€œTHIS IS BEER. FROM THE BEER SHOPā€

Whoever packs PS5s clearly learned their trade sending out porn. Totally blank brown box with nothing on it bar my address.

Now I just have to wait my turn on the internet - I don’t think a new box wanting to download the world would mix well with the wife interviewing someone over MS Teams.
