Thanks, had my eye on that for Xmas but now is good. I just wish eshop wasn't so much more than retail so I could go mostly digital.

Good deal. If I was anywhere near filling my 128GB I might consider one.
Wonder how that speed compares to what I have.

Fucking JB Hi Fi sent the XBO version of South Park FBW even though I ordered the PS4 version. Arseholes. Along with using shit-stains at Toll they keep fucking basic things like this up.

Anyone want a UV code for Spiderman Homcoming.
Its likely just HD, but it came from a 4K blu-ray

Never had a problem with jb to be honest.

I have a whole heap of UV codes, really need to work out what to do with them.
I'd love it if you still have it!

So...EA killed another studio. Not a surprise given their history. Still sad though.
Doubly so as the Hennig Star Wars game was the one Star Wars game since 1313 that I cared about. I guess now its being turned into another multiplayer games as a service piece of bullshit.
I do wonder where the AAA space is headed if that's all they care about. I mean if people are like the COD of old just choosing a single service to play forever, just how many of such things can the market support.

Hennig has had real shit luck this gen, would love to read a book of her experiences.

This isn't AAA, this is EA doing what EA always does. The number of times they have gutted EA LA over the years, downsized, upsized, rebranded again and again and somehow made a game or two along the way (though never huge sellers)
I mean EA, who, when John Ricitello became CEO bought newly merged Bioware Pandemic (partly owned by John Ricitello) and then started acing the Pandemic parts a year or so later and dozens of studios.
Fuck you Atari and

In light of this and other recent developments at EA, I'm reminded of this:

EA are without a doubt the most openly capitalist publisher out there. Only funny thing is how shit they are at it. Activision & Ubisoft have down way better at leveraging their assets to maximise profit. Without FUT they'd be fucked.

I didn't particularly enjoy the Saboteur, but I thought the Mercenaries series was amazing and chronically under-appreciated

For real? that's disgusting. NBN was a fucking disaster eh
bobnowhere
Member
ACCC, but to be honest the whole system is full of people trying to do it on the cheap and cutting corners. The whole lot needs resetting. The NBN came to my place in May, I wouldn't touch it with a 10ft pole, sticking to VDSL2+ atm.
It's coming to my area next year. Now I'm just dreading it. I worked at the telecommunications ombudsman for awhile, you don't want to know half the complaints I've heard.

Party Golf is out now on Switch.
It's the best game that was ever made by people I went to university with.

The closest NBN node I can find is about 200-300m away, cable distance is obviously more, and even though my VDSL2+ node is supposedly 1.1km away, I'm not risking my rock solid 42 Mbps with no sign whatsoever of congestion for NBN potluck.
Holy shit this TV is pretty damned amazing. It's actually a shame that this is the TV for the living room and no real gaming will be done on it. At least Stranger Things S2 should look dope.
Guess I'll need to look at that Hisense 50 inch Series 7 as a gaming telly, it's supposed to be pretty good.

Could be the only one on the node!

What'd you end up grabbing?
Yeah. RSPs trying to do it on a shoestring offering unlimited plans to as many users as they can stuff, whilst only buying limited bandwidth due to the stupid way NBN Co charges RPS with the CVC and all that.
One reason why I was pretty careful about choosing a provider and went with one that didn't offer Unlimited plans and seemed to be making an effort to provides users with a decent amount of bandwidth. So even at peak times I seem to get 80 mbps. I do have a fibre connection though.

I do have the actual ASUS one and its been great. Even wifi performance is pretty good in terms of coverage.

I'm currently on Optus HFC on their "100Mb" plan. I usually get 85-100Mb down and about 1.5Mb up which is normal for that plan. I have NBN install (which will also be on HFC in my area, sadly) scheduled for Monday and to be honest I'm not looking forward to it. But, Optus threatened to cut me off early November so what are you gonna do.
Over the past couple of months I've been recording tests against Speedtest (both my closest server, and a US west coast landing point for the Southern Cross cable) every 15 minutes, so I'll have a decent baseline to compare against once the cutover is done.
I also plan to put the supplied router straight back in the box if I can get everything working again with my Nighthawk router.

Me too went from 10Mbps to 100Mbps, my node is opposite my house.

Pre-NBN: Telstra cable @ 115 Mbps downstream in peak (highest speed plan)
Post-NBN: Telstra HFC @ ~ 30 Mbps downstream in peak (highest speed plan)
Same cost. Hope your experience is better. I'm hoping that mine will eventually improve.

Wonderful. I expect I'll be in a similar situation. I'm not going to pay for a 100Mb "speed pack" if I'm only getting 50Mb, that's for sure. That's also why I'm capturing speedtests for the connection to my closest server and to one in the US.

For some reason Centrelink has spontaneously decided to it needs to know information about pay slips from 4 years ago because it got confused that I ended working at a place, then got an unrelated job at a different branch of the same institution 5 months later and therefore thinks I was working continuously over the whole period. Especially headscratching since I wasn't receiving anything from centrelink over this period. It wants the precise breakdown of every payslip over that 12 month period, as if I just have those lying around. They already know how much I earned because of my tax information!
Exactly what I am expecting here. Currently get 115Mbps all day long, I don't think many use cable in this area. Once 'NBN' comes around in a few months it will push everyone on to the cable network, and being a shared medium expecting speeds to plummet, what a farce this whole thing is.

Is Wolfenstein physical(ps4) cheapish anywhere? Not keen on spending $79.
Might just wait a month for it to be half price.

Destiny 2 at launch was $69.
"Activision game at $69"
No reason for any game to be a cent higher.

I'll do a roundup this weekend and post it in here. Been mad crazy with games lately.
I still have my Unreal Tournament box from 1999 with the sale price sticker of $89 on it.
Would be $140 in todays money.
Kids these days.

I remember when PS3/360 were new and the sticker price for new games was like 129.99 at EB. And this was before JB came to Hobart and the other companies started price wars over games.
