Didn't spend a cent today. Feels good.
It's not like I haven't spent about $700+ this last month. Let's not talk about that.
Heh, but still! Congrats on your self-restraint.
I've been looking for both Knack and inFAMOUS Second Son on the cheap, but can only find them at their current full price ($20). Hoping boxing day fixes that. (or they end up being PS+ titles, LOL).

So it's currently the best seller in "Sports Fan Toys & Games"...

Which seems to be a "random junk" category so inFamous is at the right place then ;-)

$20 is too expensive for you?
People will complain about anything. Never read reviews.

^ Haha, yeah I have a tendency to get brought down by reading the negative reviews. Thanks a lot for your help dude.
Hmmm. That sounds...annoying. But this is the best option I have for the price, so it's all good.
Er, is a flash drive any better than a SD card? I feel like if I bought a 128 GB SD card, it's be easier to keep on my Mac. Is an SD Card worse?

Worse because it's not going to be flush. Fully inserted it sticks out quite a bit.A company called Nifty made a device that holds a MicroSD and does fit flush, but you have to find one for your specific model as Apple changed the sculpt every year or so.
The downside of SD is it's definitely slower than USB3 and seek times are going to struggle on occasion. And when your Mac goes to sleep, it turns off the slot, so the only choices you have there are:
1. Run a software that keeps it awake (but drains battery faster), or
2. Get one of those tiny USB drives instead so you can pull it out/put it back in as needed. The Nifty and similar SD slot drives are so flush that you actually have to use a wire to pull it out of the slot.
Overall it's just not worth the hassle. USB3 mini keys are way better.
FFXV still hasn't shipped
I feel this pain as well

We're in this together
Go on support chat and speak to one of their reps, they're usually very nice and will credit you the difference back to your original form of payment.
I can live with an "amazon delay" as I am being charge 49.96$ minus 20%... So around 40$ for it.FFXV still hasn't shipped
4.99 or bust

All in this together. We can start our own four-person road trip to reclaim the throne...or game, or whatever.
Thanks. I called, she offered a credit but not for the full amount so I'm just gonna get it at eb today on the way home and return it. Seems silly and even the rep mentioned how dumb it is but they won't match the price.
Doesn't really help but Amazon used to have good customer service so I kind of expected them to do it no problem. I would have accepted a credit for the full 20.

Well...with Knack being the worst Sony game on PS4 yeah. I'd get it for $5
You've missed a couple of sub $10 flash sales on PSN.
You know you are causing the Knack army by being over critical of it right? It's a good game.

If you've got your 4 person party going to get the game shipped can you check on my copy too? =)

Best Buy really needs to move into the 21st century with their website. I've already called in once to change the credit card on my Final Fantasy XV pre-order, but just now I received an email saying my credit card needs to be fixed, and the order still shows my old card. I'm supposed to get a call back in 23 minutes to explain to a CSR that their site sucks and still won't let me change the stupid credit card and here is my credit card information yet again and can you PLEASE make sure it actually gets into the system this time maybe don't write it on a discarded gum wrapper like the last person apparently did because what the hell.
For all of Amazon's faults, all I had to do to change my credit card was click a few links and type in a number. Best Buy's ecommerce infrastructure is garbage.

Eh, I prefer physical copies. Clive was awesome to let us know about its price at the source. I'm going to get it from there I guess. Thanks again Clive!
Hahah I'm on hold waiting to change my credit card info too. It's stupid you can't change billing info on partially shipped orders online. Two minutes to go if the wait time is correct...

Raises hand. Third person here. Got someone from India it seemed. Had to repeat often and speak clearly but it looks like it's ok now. I hate having to go on the phone to do this....their supposed 6 min ETA was more like 30 min.

At least better than Walmart where you can't cancel or change. Have to call in to get new order created and always the chance they'll send you the item twice (if credit card is still valid on first order) and you have to go return one. Also chance they will screw up any discounts you may have had when creating new order.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.

Honestly, most people doesn't notice input lag under 50ms unless they start comparing monitors side by side. People adjust quite easily. There are many people even with LG OLEDs happily gaming in 60ms lag, or worse, inconsistent/varying lag.
In HDR the Vizio P series is around 45ms input lag with the latest firmware update. That kind of lag being a non factor to me, plus the great black levels, and Dolby Vision support made it an easy decision for me.
I had a question that maybe you guys and gals could answer. I got in on the E3 pre order from amazon like 2 years ago with a bunch of games some of which already obviously got deliverd some of which haven't. The thing is that some of the ones that have not been delivered I either don't want anymore and some I'm getting from other places, but when I tried to cancel the items on Amazon I can't because it says they were part of a promotion.
So my question is, if when they get delivered if I can just return them for a refund then even if they were part of that e3 deal?

Just contact support. They've cancelled some of those uncancellable "part of promotion" items for me without any questions asked before. But yeah if they do end up shipping out to you, you can return them, but may need to pay for return shipping.
