Yeah, looking up the 960m against the r9 m385, the latter seems to have a small edge on most cases.
Well, I mostly get you, until that part where you say "better 4K". I understand that the HDR is inferior on the Samsung, but wouldn't native 4K (without HDR) inputs would look the same on both?
Btw, that's my first 4K...I'm upgrading from a 47" LG from 2011.

RAM shouldn't be hard to upgrade.

EDIT: the Intel version of the Y700 reviewed better than the Dell.

Yeah, don't think she'll want to put additional money on it after though.. hmmm..
Just looked at the review. Not the same model. The newegg one has 4 gb vram and 16 gb of ram.
Edit: Anyway, ate dinner. Re-looked at everything and suggested to her to go with the Dell inspiron.
I'm receiving two copies (one is for my friend), one from future shop, the other amazon. I'm really hoping one of them shows up on Monday.

Sorry if this has come up I've heard mixed things but with both my Pro and Slim, how can I let my girlfriend play my games on her account? I'm on the Pro and she has Slim.
Also, can it be Tuesday?

Make her system your primary system on your account.

Just a boring cheap sound bar. Probably two speakers. No HDMI. It will emit sound forward, so louder than your TV itself, but otherwise zzz

Can you explain to me why hers has to be primary? I'm not understanding it. Wouldn't it mean I'm not authorized to purchase games after?

Our dollar is worth 1/4 less than a dollar. 25% more would be reasonable so I can't totally fault a 10% swing which is a buck or two when the loonie is only heading down. Sucks, but logical.
Weren't those the ones RFD freaked out over a price error a while ago? 5.1 hard to find at that price point I believe.

I made the mistake of looking at the KS8000 at best buy....damn thats a nice set.

Purchase games on your account while on her system and the purchases are associated with your account and her system as well, which would allow her to play while you simply log onto your account on your system to play your games.
I grabbed it about a week ago, and for the price I'm pretty happy.
Does the TV on BB fall on 30 days return?
How much was it?

Bought an MSI 1060 6GB on Newegg.
Might end up building a new computer to put it in but I'll see how it performs in my nearly 6 year old 2500K build first.

Yep and yep. My kids, 6 and 10 love it.
Careful though, once you go down that rabbit hole of collecting, there ain't no coming back.
Edit: if you're looking for a PS4 copy, I've got a starter set for sale. I only bought it for Supergirl.

Gotcha, so if she uses her own user account though, she can't access my content, correct?
It's in the Bestbuy Black Friday flyer for $70.

Yup. Several of those are a few dollars too high for an impulse buy.
I dropped a Gigabyte 1060 6GB on my 3570k PC and I couldn't be happier with it! Definitely worth testing out.
I have a 1060 and a 4.5ghz 2500K and it's fine for the most part. I'm sure you'd gain a few FPS here and there on a lot of games but when you're above 60 FPS maxed out in most games at 1080p it's hard to care.

Or real easy when you have a monitor that has a refresh rate higher than 60hz.

Yay, one of the colouring books I ordered months ago finally shipped. Better late than never, I guess, though it was released in the US (Amazon.com) on October 5th and I was told I should have it before Halloween. (It's a horror book from a renowned artist and musician, called The Beauty of Horror. Five star reviews litter its Amazon.com page.) I even spoke to the author who couldn't explain the problem and gave an incorrect timeframe. The publisher never responded.
It's only a month late.
This seems to be the first wave of copies Amazon.ca got.
Oh well; I only paid $13. It's going for $20+ now. They used Purolator, too, which is great given the fuckery that Canada Post has been doing by rolling up my books and wedging them into a small mail box unnecessarily, causing damage.

Help me out friends
With the flash sale on PSN, Im expecting Titanfall 2 to go for $40 (including the 10% discount promo)
That's 50% off.
....Is that a good deal or can I expect to find this for ~$30 physical? I know Walmart USA had this for that price.

It'll probably be $49.99 during the flash sale.
I'm just assuming if you have a 2500K and are looking at a 1060 that you aren't rocking a high end monitor.

Anyone had experiences with videogamesplus.ca?
Steins;Gate 0 is exclusive to them in Canada, so I ordered the vita ver. from them.
Problem is, their shipping prices are weird, so I took their free shipping option. Anyone know if it will ship before, on, or after the release date for the game?
By the looks of it, the 999/Virtue's Last Reward remasters are also exclusive to them, so I may have to deal with them again in the future.

I've been looking at a 1060 as well, is that the best deal going around?
Yeah, for Canada $49.99 is likely the best you're going to find. But honestly, I paid $50 on Origin and couldn't be happier! Hopefully you find the price you like, because it's well worth it

But cant you use that 10% promo code Sony is giving?
I dont know if I can afford $50 when Im dead set on paying $80 to get The Last Guardian (unless I miraculously get it for cheaper on launch day)
2014: Ordered Smash 4 Wii U from them with free shipping and it came in alright.
2015: I ordered MGS Legacy from them about this time a year ago. Free shipping and it took 3+ weeks to arrive (I'm in Toronto). They gave me Infamous Second Son and by the time I got it, I noticed MGS Legacy was OoS so I just kept Infamous.

10% off of $49.99 is roughly 44.99. They don't charge tax, so IF (and I mean IF) they do put it up for $49.99 that's the best deal you'll get in Canada.
FYI: that $30 Wal-Mart US deal is roughly $40 Cdn so I wouldn't hold your breath on it dropping to $30 any time soon.
I'm curious about doing the exact same thing, 2500k and all, around Boxing Day.

Yeah and the best I've seen it since it's released.
This minus $15 rebate = $388.39
PCPartPicker doesn't have it for whatever reason. NCIX has a pretty close price right now, not factoring shipping.
I think the heatsink/fans on this thing is overkill as it's the same used on the MSI 1080 & 1070 but I'd rather not have to worry about temperatures. Plus overhead for overclocking is nice. And it was only like $30 more than the cheapo Zotac mini one.
Everything I've read makes it sounds like a 2500K should still be fine, with some overclocking especially so.
I just kinda want to build a new computer because uh it's been almost 6 years how is this thing still holding up. Building a new retro Windows 98 computer earlier in the year helped but still I've been eyeing some console-ish-sized mini-itx PC cases that look hot.
Yep! Storewide BF sale on Friday.

Guess Ill bite TF2 for $50
Do u know what the discount rate usually is for macbook pro and iphone 6s plus?

No idea, sorry. I just got the cryptic email from Apple. Historically the discounts aren't huge; couple of hundred bucks. Nice if there's something you need, but not usually anything mind-blowing.
Hey, remember the $10 PSN credit people were finding in their wallets? Did we ever figure out who was/wasn't getting it? Nothing's popped up on my system yet. Not a huge deal, but it'd be good to know definitively if I'm not on Sony's Nice List for whatever reason.
