    8 years ago I bought my og X-Box One. I was excited to play that exclusive game Sunset Overdrive alongside all the exclusives the consoles was going to have that definitely would stay on XBox and not deem my purchase a waste of money.

    There was a trade-in campaign that got me the console for €250 by give in return a broken 360. Sweet deal right?

    Second "broken" black Wii I buy for parts. Both Wiis are fully functional. Why are people thinking their Wiis are broken? What is happening?

    Sometimes people sell things as broken for "No warranty!" reasons.
    Maybe they don't have a TV with analog inputs anymore ("Can't test!"). People are decadent and throw away everything. Missing sensor bar (happens frequently) - Wii broken. Scratched disc not loading - Wii broken and so on.

    Got a Wii Mini "with broken drive". Optical pickup was stuck (!?). Push. pull. Works.

    I bought an Atari 800xl listed as defective, "Powers ON, no signal"...
    Turns out it was a PAL machine... in NTSC land, obviously it wouldn't work (without a compatible monitor).
    That was a very good deal, it was almost brand new, probably never actually used before I bought it.

    @VinsCool They were trying to use it in an old CRT, no? It was lucky not to fry the thing with the different power input.

    @x65943 I've been playing 3DS since its launch, just never online. It's a New 3DS XL btw 😛

    @StrayGuitarist Been almost 10 years since I use 3D on always. Before that, the original 3DS, I switched back on forth, depending on the game. The New 3DS was really a step up.

    @pustal That's fair. I never got my hands on any of the new consoles, I just have the o3DS. When I first got it in 2013 or so, I had the 3D on most of the time. After I started transition, though, my eyes started to absolutely hate the 3D effect. Apparently that's pretty common. Either way, I bought a 2DS and pretty much just use my 3DS for guests to play Mario Kart 7 with now.

    @StrayGuitarist My girlfriend never adjusted to 3D, either in the old or new 3DS, an not in the cinema even (with the exception of the high framerrate Hobbit movies). It's migraine inducing for her. So your mileage my vary but if a New 3DS passes through your hand give it a try for a few minutes at least.

    There are days where everything goes to shit... And there are days you find a PS5 on retail, new, at MSRP!

    Today was a good day!

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Kodi repost are still pretty popular
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
