    VR Gaming - Oculus Rift, Playstation VR, HTC Vive

    I'm skeptical that's something I'd want. I'm not interested in a self-contained unit, I want something that will use the power of my PC or console. Probably just not the product for me, but instead will be competing with all the AR sets we'll probably see next year for a lot less than...

    Amazon Echo - no thread yet?

    Yeah, a form of that deal has been around for a few days. Was going to get our 3rd Dot but it disappeared from the Alexa deals page (get another +$10 credit if we used that). Edit: it never reappeared on the page, but tried again on our Echo and got it ordered. Think today I'm only in for...

    Comic Books

    I like the Carnage one because you posted a book I actually have, lol. Sometimes I regret I wasn't more of a collector when I was 12 and working at my first job in a comic shop. It's fun not really being a collector now, but sometimes I do kinda want to start picking these up, maybe get a...

    Rift is now $399 w/ the controllers. Essentially half the price it was 5 months ago. Oculus cuts Rift price for second time this year, now $399 with Touch

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yeah, that got me to stop playing on consoles. Hacked weapons and very easy to dupe, even on accident. Though if you're just playing w/ friends/solo probably not that big of a deal.

    Comic Books

    That's awesome. At some point I'll end up picking up a couple of books like those, but I'm sure they'll probably double in value before I get around to doing it. So instead I just have this as probably my favorite in my collection. It's in bad shape, but meeting Stan Lee and getting a picture...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    It varies. Best Buy dropped their trade in value by more than half (from like $200 to $76) half for 1 week so I ended up having to get my One S from Gamestop when it released.

    Yes, they do what you expect they do, if I understand the question. I have one of these, came with one of the kits I bought at some point: Philips 458141 Hue Dimmer Switch - - Amazon.com I can use that to turn the lights off and on instead of barking at Alexa, but can also still use the app...

    Not for me. Madden is why I still own consoles and I get more from Origin and EA Access than I probably do from Steam sales.

    Anyone tether or have a plan that allows you to use a hotspot for more than 10gb/mo? Wife got a Jetpack and was sold a bit of a BS when she bought it and was upgraded to unlimited on Verizon. Dropping to 3G with a few days of vacation left sucks. At least it will reset before she heads to...

    No Man's Sky

    Probably something coming, unless this is just the work of some crazy employees rather than some guerilla marketing. The Mysterious No Man's Sky ARG: 16 Cassette Tapes, Hidden Codes, and Creepy Voices At $25 I'll probably go ahead and pick it back up. I'd gotten a refund of the full game...

    Read some interesting stuff about the landing today. I didn't realize that they don't come down on the ship until after the engines ignite, so if there's an engine failure it misses the barge. Once they fire they make the lateral adjustments. Today it used up every bit of emergency fuel and...

    ZeniMax to judge: Block Oculus sales or give us 20% Earlier this year, ZeniMax won a $500 million judgment against Facebook-owned Oculus and many of its executives for illegal use of ZeniMax's VR technology and copyrights. That wasn't the end of Oculus' legal trouble, though. The company is now...

    Yeah, I got mine through Amazon, so any warranty service (that expires in less than a month) means I have to take photos of all sides, ship it to Huawei and will be without a phone for a month. So instead I'm going back to a real phone company next month.

    Isn't that only comparing price? Their cheap PC build opens saying you'll get 30-60 fps at 1080p and can't really do 1440p/4k. Your link says they expect performance more in line with the $230-$299 RX580 'but better' as that's not a 4k gaming card either. (and then again, the $600 PC in your...
