Think I just managed to snag a $15 FFX/X2 on Best Buy. They had one in stock. Picked up a 4k blu-ray with it for free shipping. I might just return the blu-ray.

Did anyone pickup the Xbox One S Boxing Day Bundle (500g, Gears of War 4, Gears Ultimate, Halo Collection and Halo 5)?

Due to the double trade in value on December 22nd I just realised I have $200ish in credit that I wouldn't mind putting towards that console.

A few quick questions:
After downloading those 4 games, how much space is left on the 500g hard drive?

Are the 4 game download codes seperate? I already have Gears of War 4 and would much rather sell the code them be forced to redeem it.

How did they get into your psn account ? Is your email account compromised ?

Also did you have 2-Step Verification turned on ?

Just called and got my account back. I had no credit card registered so it was rather painless but it still sucked.

The last game I've played was ironically watch_dogs 2...

I'm not sure on the second question, but if I'm remembering right, those four downloads/installs eat up around 240GB. With patches and updates it may be a little more.

Halo 5 alone is about 90 GB and MCC is about 60 GB.

Looks like people have answered the hdd space part but if you are getting the bundle from EB it appears that h5 and gears 4 are physical copies and the other 2 are digital. They also give you a free choice of wwe 2k17 or nba 2k17. If you're credit is at EB that is.

How's this laptop?

https://www.microsoftstore.com/stor...nature-Edition-2-in-1-PC/productID.5057684700

Seems pretty good for the price? Though using an older gen processor. Mainly thinking of using it for video editing, Photoshop, and some of my coding stuff (possibly some games as well like DotA)
Click to expand...

They have a Dell i5 for $50 cheaper than that. Not sure how great it is (seems really polarizing based on reviews), but it seems like better bang for the buck.

what problems? i've been using since day 1 and had no issues
Click to expand...

You are right, it's always been reliable. Every time I see a "I got hacked on PSN" it's because people don't bother to put on 2FA, use same passwords, or fall for phishing sites (free $50 PSN card! Click here!).

It's frustrating to see people blame Sony for no reason.

Hold the fuck up, the "fucking Sony" part was directed at them refusing to help until another day. I think that's perfectly reasonable, to expect them to help today not tomorrow, especially if you have credit cards plugged into their service, I mean I fucking hope that goes without saying. Sure people are probably on holiday that's understandable, but if you are running a giant marketplace, you better have people available to fix any security concerns, holiday or not.

Now, whether or not the person was using two factor, I don't think it's reasonable to put the blame on them for getting hacked. Could they have prevented it? Yea. But the primary person at fault is the lowlife who targets people's accounts.

Man, they fucking banned me from Live Chat because I contacted them twice about a refund of DriveClub. I bought it during a sale and then had a physical copy from a friend. Since I didn't particularly like the game, I tried getting a refund. First person said no, second person said they looked at my support chat history and it was against the terms to keep asking them so they banned me. Used the phone support and got a refund in 5 minutes.

Fucking Sony.

;P

Like any big company, for every interaction that goes badly, there are thousands that don't. People tend to make a big deal out of poor customer service and completely ignore good support which is why we see so many more complaints rather than kudos. Someone who was very happy with the help they got isn't going to run to an internet forum to give praise while a session that's going badly will have that same person posting while it's still going on.

For sure, I still think they should have a 24/7 line for cases like this. I thought they did. They have a 24/7 chat but like ReddishGUI said you need a PSN account to use it which is useless when you're account is not yours anymore.

When you get hacked, the more time that passes the less chance you have to get your account back.

Upcoming Deals

These are for Amazon.CA.

Sorry, I was too slow on the posting for Disgaea 4.

Lightning Deal all claimed for Disgaea 4, but it says you can still order at the discounted price. I assume "waitlist available" means your order will be fulfilled if Amazon obtains additional stock.

Disgaea 4: A Promise Revisited - PS Vita

Link to product page

Regular Price: $39.99 + tax
Sale Price: $23.13 + tax

========

And the next deal goes live at 17:40 ET (or 17:10 ET with Prime). Not sure what the discounted price will be.

Stella Glow - Nintendo 3DS

Link to product page

Regular Price: $49.95 + tax
Sale Price: $39.99 + tax (as per gaboumafou)

Not sure what this game is all about, but maybe someone out there is interested in picking it up.

========

And this third deal goes live at 20:50 ET (or 20:20 ET with Prime). Not sure what the discounted price will be.

Dragon's Crown - PS Vita

Link to product page

Regular Price: $39.69 + tax
Sale Price: $19.84 + tax

Been wanting to get a physical copy of Dragon's Crown for my Vita, so this is a welcome sale for me. Hoping for at least ~40% off similar to Disgaea 4.

Isn't it fun to blame people for getting hacked? :p
Click to expand...

No actually. Not trying to blame him at all. I thought I had set my account up as well. But recently changed my password and noticed that there seems to be two types of security. One was a 5 digit pin which I don't recall doing. And another was a code that got sent via text to me. I don't recall getting a text the first time either. It's all rather confusing so I can see how someone might think they have it set, and not really have it.

Aw, missed Disgaea 4. Though that's really for the best, I own so many Disgaea games and have never even come close to finishing either incarnation of Disgaea 3 so whatever.

"Waitlist available" just means there are still people who have it in their cart but haven't yet checked out. If they don't check out within the allotted time, they lose their claim on the deal, allowing someone from the waitlist to get it instead. No new stock gets allotted (and in fact I think Disgaea 4 is still available for purchase at the normal price).

So looking at stuff I have to get through, aside from Dead Rising 4 and Bioshock, I don't have any single player experiences until Horizon in late February. I was thinking of getting either Dishonored 2 or Watch Dogs 2, which one to get? Leaning towards Dishonored, how lengthy/meaty is it? I remember I finished the first in two sittings.

Really enjoyed dishonored 2 and I'm currently having a fun time with wd2.

WD2 is the meatier game but dishonored 2 is quite replayable.

You can't go wrong with either of them imo.
