    It'll definitely make me consider buying higher end open box items if they'll replace them with new items for the open box price.

    I went to look at the 65KS8000/8500, Vizio 65P-C1, and the Sony XBR65x850 in person at Best Buy. They had an open box XBR65x930 and matched the price of the 850 model of the Sony. Got it home and it had terrible backlight bleed and clouding. So I went to return it today and to my surprise, they...

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

    That's the speed of the hdd in the PS4s too. Putting a faster hdd or ssd barely makes any difference. Slightly with loading times on an ssd. The regular PS4 uses a sata 2 interface. The pro version uses sata 3 but it's crippled.

    I picked up a PS4 pro and sold my old one. Do we have a PS4 community that's set up and active?

    Everquest II

    I remember them being in at launch. I'm not 100% though. Only thing I'm 100% certain of is that they nerfed my Enc classes every patch for the first 40 or so until DoF. That and breeze aggri was a bitch. Darathar made many trips to the other side of the island to wipe me out after the pull.

    Everquest II

    I should clarify: launch was bad but the grouping and dungeons were great. It was the raid game that sucked. But Permafrost, Sol Eye, etc were pretty good. And huge to boot. The prismatic quest chain took work. All the mobs were group mobs in most areas. Not the solo fest it is now so you had to...

    Launch was bad. DoF they EoF was the pinnacle for me. I hated RoF with a passion. Went full on WoW solo quest. That was ponytail's production, so it figures. It only got worse from there. It never recovered.

    While external HDD support is nice, I am still upset that Sony crippled the SATA 3 speeds for no apparent reason. 5400 rpm HDD vs 7200 vs SSD is all just throwing money away.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Good for Convo. Better to get involved then incessantly complain about it. I like what they've shown so far. I'd like them to move faster but whatever. The high fantasy MMO genre is kind of bad right now. FFXIV is my exception. WOW is not what I'm looking for long term and ESO is kind of meh. We...

    It's an Android issue because they won't grow a pair and tell the carriers to fuck off like Apple. If Google decided, you aren't modifying our platform anymore and we're doing the updates to ensure security, the carriers have 2 choices. Fall in line or not sell phones. Since they like making...

    Because the IPC gains since ivybridge haven't really been that big for intel. So being at broadwell IPC or further basically puts them right near skylake and kabylake since they only made less than 5% gains going from broadwell to skylake.

    Except Nintendo is rumored to be pricing them the same as the other consoles. That would be tragic for them but they haven't had the smartest leadership for awhile now.

    You need to get a receiver with hdmi passthrough. Like 6-8 in and 1-2 out. But then you'll have to do a proper sound system.

    That and the CPU is a dual core low voltage version. But that doesn't explain the slowness. Has to be something in the background slowing it down.

    Yeah that's why I hope AMD kicks Intel in the dick. Help stop this stagnation. I have a 3570k and Kant Lake still isn't that big of an upgrade, tbh. No competition has caused some stagnation.

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    Nah not that bad lol. Won't need more than a 24 port switch at max. I'm just trying to plan ahead for more than I need in case my needs increase. That's all. I've been told the cost increase is minimal for the increased drops up to a point.

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    I think that is good idea. I just want a cleaner solution than a switch at every location. It really all depends on how expensive the drops are.

    One for the TV, PS4, Xbox1, Cable/satellite, etc. just throwing out scenarios but I can envision using them all eventually. Fast wifi is cool and all but wired beats wireless any day.

    I was gonna get 4 drops each at each TV location and the office area. The. 2 drops in each of the 3 bedrooms. So that's 18. Plus maybe 3 for cameras. I was looking at ubiquiti's 24 port poe switch. Is that overkill? Ubiquiti UniFi Switch - 24 Ports Managed (US-24-250W)...

    To piggyback on this, when going from a mechanical hdd to an ssd, you usually have to change the drive type from ide (or sata) to ahci.

    Straight on the difference isn't that bad if you have perfect posture and never veer out of the sweet spot. Otherwise, IPS it is.
