Thanks so much rep! Oh man I wish I had a 2TB HDD, been looking into getting one for some time though. I'll have to look up how to upgrade, because it's getting a bit ridiculous
hell yea so many good recommendations! Thanks everyone, I'll let you know what I end up going with :^)
Same reason Nintendo first party games take forever to get discounted I imagine.

Honestly no idea. Everything else Sony has come down in price but TLoU is still way up there, even Uncharted 4 has been around the $20 mark numerous times!
Was recently or is on sale on PSN for $25.
Yeah its super weird :/, heaps of other titles have gone for much cheaper including first parties.

Speaking of annoyingly overpriced Sony things, the x9000e tv in the states is roughly half the price of the LG OLEDs. It's supposed to be "mid range". It came out here like a fortnite ago and cost more than 4/5 of what the OLEDs go for.
A few places have started dropping the prices on the x9000e but it's still far worse value than in the states.

Yeah I went TV shopping last weak since someone in my household ended up smashing my amazing Plasma. Sony stuff was well overpriced so I ended up with a brand new LG OLED 55C6 at $2594
Finally finished BOTW, pretty divided on it. It was another open world game that had me thinking that I should play TW3 again. Definitely had fun with it though, Hyrule City/Castle itself was blast to go through and I loved looking & walking through the various towns. Shame there wasn't more of that.
Yep, anything decent gets bought up instantly :/
At least there should be a glut of cards on the 2nd hand market in a few months.

i'm actually divided on whether to get a cheap-ass card to tide me over for a bit until the bubble bursts and used 1070s/60s show up everywhere or to just go whole hog crazy and get a 1080 for $700+
Is that from the cold?

Hot water pipes were frozen this morning. -8.2 last night. Took ten minutes for them to thaw out.

It was colder in Canberra yesterday than Thredbo.

Apparently, the tradie the RACV sent out said he had about 20 call outs yesterday all for the same thing. I know it's winter and all but Victoria doesn't get that cold, it was around 0 overnight which isn't that extreme, surely pipes can withstand more.
Fingers crossed that it actually gets fixed under warrenty and gets fixed soon. I've got hot water albeit at very low pressure seeing as 60% of the water sprays out of the roof.

Pipes aren't used to it more than the idea that they can withstand more. Same happens when you change to a new HWS or replace a section of pipes, pressure builds up differently. We come across it quite often.
It was actually not that cold here a week or two ago. Then middle of last week it started dropping hard then yesterday was the coldest night/morning I can remember in 6+ years!

I'm tempted to get the Zelda DLC on the back of the path tracking feature alone.
Hard mode though seems like it'd be an exercise in masochism. I raided Hyrule Castle and strutted around the map feeling like a badass. Then I challenged a Silver Lynel and was quickly disabused of that notion.
Really torn...

Yeah. Don't get me wrong, I've got about 6 billionty fame points, and have played the shit out of it, but I want more than it offers. GT seems to be going away from what I want too

Had to persuade the dog to go out the last two mornings, she wasn't leaving the house voluntarily.

My favourite arcade racer this gen has been GTA Online. It seems strange even to type it, yet it's true.Yeah. Don't get me wrong, I've got about 6 billionty fame points, and have played the shit out of it, but I want more than it offers. GT seems to be going away from what I want too

I can't reconcile this opinion with any known facts.

Like Kyle Sandilands you only truly appreciate it when it's not there.
The Hero's path (tracking) is awesome and really useful if you don't want to use a guide.
Master mode seems alright so far - it definitely makes you plan out your battles though and it's really easy to get overwhelmed if things go badly

Maybe take a look at sales...
But in all honesty, as I said it surprised me as much as anybody.
It has a big open world map. You can make your own tracks in the very well developed content creator. You can have playlists made of your favourite tracks. The handling model is actually really good; it's not simcade obviously, but compared to other arcade racers like Driveclub, NFS, etc. it's pretty impressive with good modelling of drivetrains, weight transfer, downforce, suspension travel, sealed and unsealed roads, weather, etc. It probably has a bigger player base than nearly any other game on consoles. And the huge amount of money they're making from it means that they've been releasing cars fairly regularly since release. The car selection is really good too; obviously they all have fake names and are slightly modified, but most important cars can be found on the list. They released the Aston Martin Valkyrie on Friday, and I'm not sure if any other arcade racer has that car yet.
The downside with GTA Online is that it's not pick up and play friendly on the racing side of things (since that's obviously only a small facet of what's on offer), and graphically it's obviously not as good looking as Driveclub and NFS. But I personally find the handling model way better than those games, and that's the most important thing for me.

Yay! Hope mum is doing okay.
Hey guys I have a 3 month PS Plus Code, which will only work in Australia. I brought it by mistake thinking it would work with my NZ account.
I'm looking to trade it for a key. Preferably Planescape Torment EE from GOG.
PM me if anyone is interested. I was going to post in the buy/sell thread, but because this is country specific I thought I would try here.

If you can't offload it, I believe you can still make it work (albeit only on one PS4). If you create an Aussie account on your PS4 and redeem it on that, I think all other accounts on that PS4 automatically get PS+ access for online gaming. Downsides would be that PS+ 'free' games during that period would be attached to the Aussie account (so you'd lose access to them once its PS+ membership lapses) and I don't think you'd get access to PS+ store discounts on your NZ account.
Yeah. I already do this with a US account.
I just wanted to upload some save games to the cloud so I purchased the another subscription.

I almost impulse bought it but based on the conditions that are required for it to work as intended, didn't end up getting it. Easier just to use a long HDMI cable from my PC in the end.

Yeah that's my game plan too for when I move my PC away from the TV. I want to be able to couch game but will probably be at my desk if I'm playing the PC generally.
I was surprised by how usable my mech kb was from the couch though. I've been a bit slack with properly configuring my setup after I moved into my place.
I'm doing that secret dungeon in FFXV today, and I've come close to throwing my controller through my screen about a million times. Why they gotta make everything so difficult and precise when the controller is so sensitive (((
So jealous! I miss summer so much already, it's been so cold here in Newcastle! And today was heaps windy too, so even though the sun was shining it was just way too cold and shitty to be outside :^(
How exciting! Hope everyone's doing well 🌞
