    It'll be fine as long as the power increase is justified for the $$ and there aren't asinine policies in place to limit it. Some are hoping the downgrade was an accident, but nobody in any official capacity seems willing to chime in to say that (or anything at all).

    People getting upset over this, but it's what Sony promised when it was announced. Recent Battlefield 1 patch seemingly takes out PS4 Pro multiplayer advantages

    Arrival (2016)

    The ending felt like the extended Blu-Ray version, kind of wallowed it in a bit. Otherwise fantastic movie, and similar to the above posts wife and I were talking about it all the way home and then some. As a father I have no intention of watching it again though, that was rough.

    Guessing it's the ends of the microusb cables. We've gone through a number of them too. My kids are 2 and 5, the charging cables are now just out of reach :p

    Virtual Reality

    I can deal w/ the wires and have thus far, has never really bothered me, but just adds such an easy of use to the whole unit that I'm almost certainly in for one once it's reviewed and stuff. Only hesitation is I'd prefer it works on future headsets too somehow.

    Virtual Reality

    Wow that would be amazing if it works as advertised. 90 minute battery life less than amazing, would want a second one since the extended won't be out for a bit.

    Seafall (No spoilers?)

    Yeah, can't read the rulebook from work, but apparently it's addressed there. Some are saying they just reserve upgrades/decisions for the 'floating' player for the start of the next game rather than the end of the prior. Either way, even as someone who normally plays co-op games almost...

    If you have to be talked into the Pro I'd pass unless you get a great deal. Already being reported that Skyrim actually runs worse on the Pro. Hopefully an outlier.

    $56 on Amazon is pretty tempting. Amazon lately has seemed pretty stingy w/ the board game discounts.

    I'd recommend it to anyone who's remotely interested in the game at that price. Just started playing it with 3 friends who've never played it and are liking ti so far. I had leveled to 30 (max level) at launch and quit before any DLC came out previously.

    How well does/doesn't it handle new players, or is it pretty much required you have the same group or a replacement player must play something another player used. Thought Pandemic Legacy handled this pretty easily since characters can change game to game, but with this you're essentially...

    You buy a brand new TV with sound system... what movie do you watch on it first

    The Martian, with the movie and book being a favorite of ours, is our only 4k BD. Transformers in HD is what put my wife over the top and the next day we had a our first HDTV.

    Any of you do any in-wall shenanigans to hide wires? Something like Wiremold - In-Wall Power Kit - White or the various wallplates? With just AV and the Xbox One hooked to the TV these days, thinking of trying to go really minimal for the monolith of a console we have in the living room. We...

    Yeah, two things nagged me, not in a bad way, just took me out of the movie a bit. - This seemed like Hugh Laurie as House becoming Doctor Strange. - Almost the entire soundtrack sounded recycled from Star Trek. Same composer I guess. Outside of that, yeah, some of the jokes were forced as was...

    If you have a PS4 for everything else, I agree. I'm currently playing Play Anywhere titles on both PC and Xbox, and am streaming many games that are not Play Anywhere to my PC when the TV is occupied. Not everyone is interested in digital (which is required for Play Anywhere), so anyone who...

    Kind of a lame excuse, next they'll say they have no robust online network because they don't want to impact portability and people might move out of range of their wifi.

    Hope it comes to PC, if that was announced a few months ago I'd probably have kept my PS4.
