It's more expensive than I expected on current gen. Will wait for a Steam sale.
X1 drop is expected at E3 right?

Generally I would wait however considering how much I played the last two I'm more then happy to pay retail day 1, if I had something to play it on that is.

You already have a X1? Otherwise the PS4 has the higher resolution remember.

I don't think we have any evidence or leaks to that effect, but it absolutely makes sense for them to come out of E3 with all guns blazing. Better to catch up now than risk continuing to fall behind.

Hopefully the big news everyone is talking about tonight is a surprise price drop!
It's either that or Lords of Shadow 3 will be announced. Not sure which is most likely.

No xbone for me. Yeah I saw that, 1080p goodness.
Damn.

Dick Smith will have the PS4 with an extra controller for $548 tomorrow arvo
Decent deal if you really want a second controller!

Reptile Scorpio are you supposed to be like the Australian Wario or something?

Tempting. If I can get in store tomorrow I might grab it. Cheers.
Edit. If the other ozbargain posts are an indicator it'll be online only.
Did you consider trading in your old games? It might be cheaper.

I'm super lazy and post most bargains only on Twitter. But I'm indeed Australian so that means if it's too long I'll post it here. Twitter is too much effort for lots of bargains :/
I should get a job at the Australian equivalent of GameTrailers. Would that be The Australian?

Logitech G930 are wireless, decent, have a microphone but aren't Bluetooth. And are Windows only.

Bluetooth sucks.
Buy the G930's (although mine died recently >_< )

Is a cable really that unbearable? Bluetooth headphones are all nearly universally bad for the price you pay. The Sony MDR-1RBT is one of the better bluetooth headphones out there but it has distortion through the roof. So if you really, really wanted one that sounded OK, the Sony you posted would be a good option.
All the decent ones are $300+ and that's basically entering high end headphone territory. They are products that don't really make sense unless you just buy a really cheap one.

I wonder how bad the game actually is. I feel sorry for anyone that has ever played it.
I made a comic about Street Fighter 2010 and nobody even tried to stop me.
OFFICE CULTURE TIP: If people are often coming up to your desk with things for you to do just put a slightly scrambled Rubik's cube on your desk. The offending parties will approach your desk with something to tell you, get distracted by the cube, and then walk away as they can't remember what they came to you to talk about. Works every time!

Did you still want Turtle Beach ones? And GT6?
Put a solved one there, then everyone will think you're smart as well.
I've owned both the wireless and wired versions of these and they are good, but give me terrible headaches after using for an extended period of time. I'm now using Corsair Vengeance 2100 and it's a very comfortable change.

He's going to double his yearly income by resigning and he knows it.
Also this Ars article on Steam numbers is pretty great aside from the fact that the publication that had been running a large scale operation on Steam for months and months had no fucking idea that the 'hours played' statistic only came in a few years ago!
Embarrassing they didn't have that kind of knowledge on Steam. I'm sure the rest of the data is pretty good but it certainly dents my confidence in their knowledge if they didn't even know the history of Steam.

Been looking to purchase a treadmill for home but haven't been able to decide what kind I need or how much to spend. Anyone with experience can lend some tips?
Rather unfortunate, he was pretty moderate compared to the rest of his lot. I expect a lot worse now.

Yep pretty much. Still why the hell wouldn't you say you didn't remember the bottle to ICAC.
If he really didn't remember, that's even more troubling.

Cheers for posting that, always interesting to see actual numbers not just people's guesses.
Just other guesses based on incomplete information?

Basically pre-2009 Steam never tracked usage on your profile. so any games pre that date are going to be incorrect.
When many of the graphs/data involve games released before that time, it sort of invalidates the majority of the article for mine. Never mind that the original author never even knew that was the case.

Goes to show how out of touch they are.
In the grand scheme of NSW political corruption, not declaring a $3000 bottle of wine is not very corrupt.
Can't believe he didn't just say "I can't remember if I received it. If I did, I apologise for not declaring it - it was a very hectic time and I'm truly sorry for not following proper process. I can guarantee it had absolute no impact on any actions by me or my government."
Would any one really have called for his head over it?
