Anybody selling their PS4 vanilla and have a Pro coming in?

How do I not get doo doo on the resale market for this thing.

Thinking of trading the PS4 in for an Xbox One S since I need a UHD BD player

Right now Amazon offers $140 for launch (no bundle) ps4 with no game. I don't think it's a bad deal on a 3 year old piece of hardware.
 
I sold my second PS4 the week before the Pro announcement and got $220!

Hopkins was one of the top WRs last year with 4 garbage QBs throwing him the ball: Fitzmagic, Hoyer, Yates, and Mallet.

Yet Crock comes in here and now Hop can't get shit. Well the entire O can't. Is infuriating. The Texans HC and GM position are the most safe jobs in all of sports. Nobody gets fired for anything. Kubiak can't do shit, and then goes to Denver and wins a SB. Osweiler didn't even meet with O'Brien before signing. That tells me it was an owner and GM move, and for that Rick Smith has got to go. Oh wait...McNair just gave him another contract extension last off season. Hate life.

Yeah, that's so insane to me. I was floored when I heard that. Commit $40m in cap space over two years to a guy you've never even seen throw.....

If it makes you feel better, the Mike D'Antoni era of Rockets basketball begins this week.

We won't do shit, but at least they'll be entertaining. Actually hyped. I'm excited to not watch Dwight Howard awful post ups. Couldn't ask to start the season off any better than with a W against FMTs Lakers.

Xbox lowkey been good this fall. Have a ton of bundles you could grab. I dunno how fancy your Home Theater is, but I believe the X1s doesn't pass over some specific kind of audio. Can't remember but you may wanna look.

All games compatible. I don't think there is much of a list at this point, some games have confirmed they would do something.

Good lookin out; looks like it doesn't do bitstream or Dolby Atmos/DTS:X

The latter I don't give a shit about because I don't have a 16 speaker system but no bitstream is kinda shitty

No ETA, but they confirmed Bitstream support will happen eventually.
 
That's not really true. I mean, Manning just won a Super Bowl. Most of the big 2016 signing have worked out so far. Malik Jackson, Josh Norman, Marvin Jones, Alex Mack were all big names going to new teams for big deals and they have performed as expected. I'd say only Osweiler has underperformed. Vernon probably hasn't been worth the $ yet but it seems like New York is still trying to figure out where he fits in that defense.

The problem is the only ones that stand out are QB's and QB's generally only go to a new team if their existing team thinks they have failed/found a replacement.

Generally most free agents are not busts. There is a confirmation bias about free agent busts because it's almost never a surprise. If you think a deal is bad you pay attention to it and remember it when it turns out bad. I.E. you forget about all of David Ortiz's 9th inning strike outs.

Suh has been outstanding, weird example of a FA bust.

Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril were both FA signed by the Seahawks and have been worth their contracts at this point. They're pretty much the only high profile FA the Seahawks have signed, and Avril was probably the higher regarded one at the time he was signed.

I think people remember QB FA busts more than other positions because QB FA probably bust at a higher rate. If a QB is worth starter money he probably never hits free agency these days.

Was going to mention Lynch but he was a trade. That worked out well
 
Hoyer, Osweiler, Brees, and Tyrod Taylor.

Those are the only 4 starting QBs at the moment who were not acquired either via the draft or a trade. 22 of the 32 other QBs still play with the team that drafted them, and the other 6 were acquired via trade (Smith, Palmer, Fitzpatrick, Keenum, Manning*, Bradford)

*I suppose you could count Manning either way.

Im 100% shocked The Walking Dead is:

A. Still around
B. As popular as it still is.

I feel like ive been waiting for the floor to drop on that series for a while now. There are only so many times you can be "shocked" at someone dying.

Its like Game Of Thrones without an interesting story or great acting or cool fight scenes.

I remember during like season 3 TWD one of my professors gushed to the class multiple times that semester about how great the writing was on it. show has been trash since the 3rd episode.

Before the Walking Dead TV show came out I read a bunch of the comics, I think up to the arc the previous TV season finished. It was the same plot line with slightly different twists each time, and the author has even said he has no plans to ever end it, so its just apocalypse porn forever.

I think I only watched the first episode of the show because I was at a Halloween party the night it premiered.

Crazy thing is Sunday's episode was their 2nd highest rated ever.

I still watch TWD, many times i have been ready to give up on it, but this new villain is far and away their best villain. Curious where it goes.

Basically only made it this far because I read a lot of the graphic novels up to what I believe is this point. Always anxious to see how shows manage the path. But TWD spent full seasons off on random shit that was completely uninteresting.

Eh

The S7 premiere was the strongest episode in a very long time.

The governor season and the prison season were awful. They may be one in the same I can't really remember. They had a big issue of spending enormous amount of time on pointless things, as Brent said. But last season was pretty good, except for the BS cliffhanger.

I think this season has the potential to be good, if for no other reason someone finally broke the shit out of Rick.

Bethesda is trash

Additionally, these consoles dont seem to be that powerful.

My guess is they could get 60 in a few places, but far too much random shit happens in that game that would bring it crashing down. I assume they tried for a locked 30 (I somehow doubt even that is actually locked)

Brent I know it's not easy to do but can you see about pinning down a potenting time with wellington? The game is too important to be simmed!
Not much else I can do about it. Was available last night at the normal time and he said he wasn't around. He initially said during the day would be better, obviously, since he's 5hrs ahead.
Was available today at 9am and at 1pm and we still didn't connect.

Not going to skip the World Series for Madden though. I have the baby all day tomorrow, so a day game then is extremely unlikely.
