re: PS5 Release times?

Posted by LSUdvalley on 1/22/21 at 8:41 am
Finally got one during Best Buy drop yesterday. It ended up being almost 30mins after the site supply Twitter notification. Kept saying system glitch & no stores nearby had then. It eventually loaded in cart and checkout. It certainly seems like they stagger these things or tease a bit ??

Gotcha. Still a good deal for the 12 months from what I could tell

Yeh I think I had a few months left but try to look for a deal around this time vs paying the 60. Let me know if it gives you the 12 or 15 (just curious as it seemed like it was for only 12 till I entered redeem code)

PS Plus Black Friday Deal

Just wanted to pass along for those interested cdkeys has a 12 month deal for 29.99. It actually gave me both a 12 and 3 month (15 total) redemption when I redeemed the code just now.

Posted by poops_at_parties online on 4/9/17 at 5:59 pm I have a neighbor who plays his music incredibly loud to the point I can hear the actual lyrics. The bass comes right through the walls to the interior of the house as well. It's not rap or ghetto, just very annoying.


He said he can hear the lyrics on his side of the house. It's not "rap or ghetto" either so it qualifies, no?

The point is he asked his neighbor to stop. His neighbor apparently doesn't care. Asking once should be all it takes. Maybe this will make him understand what it's like pre- cop calling.
Ensure he is home. Point every speaker you have towards him against the wall with volume near max. Hook them up to a device playing Madonna's Like A Virgin.... on repeat. Then leave. Run errands. Take a few hours, your time really.

Maybe he'll get the point. 1 for 1 using this method.

re: MLB 16 the show-PS3

I have it on PS3 and enjoy it (graphics are decent for PS3). Mostly just play RTTS and Franchise, so mostly single player modes and haven't really checked out online features. I did the same thing and bought it on sale a year or so ago and still play it regularly. If it goes on sale for a good price, go for it.
Mchias, that is very helpful info. Still a bit perplexed the TV will grab a few channels w/o anything plugged in. None the less, it seems the best option in my situation would be to run the basic cable coax vs antenna rig if going with a permanent outdoor installation.

Jammin, never knew the trick with the antenna into the coax w/o cable service. That would have come in handy when I first moved to this location and had Internet only. With the Internet channels/services and smart TVs (or TV stick streaming services), I may soon cut even the basic cable service soon as I really don't watch anything other than news, weather, sports. Watchespn just needs to offer a non-cable provider subscription :)

Again, really appreciate all the responses.
This has been helpful. Honestly, I may go buy one or two more to see if the tuners built in can pickup OTA w/o the antenna. Wish there was a better way to know in advance of purchasing vs trial and error.

Jammin, not entirely sure what you did there. Our house is run with cable wires and the same cable from cox carries both the Internet and basic cable TV package. I have a splitter which branches the main cable to the modem and two TVs. Not entirely sure where upstream of the splitter you are suggesting to plug-in an antenna. Basically, the main cable comes into the house off the power line into some sort of splitter. The main cable coming from this point travels to another splitter which branches off to cable TV and Internet modem.
Jammin, so to clarify, simply plugging in a cable that is not connected to an antenna or cable provider worked to get you a few OTA channels?

I was wondering if basic cable (no box) subscription would serve the same purpose (I.e, no antenna, but the cable amplifies the tuner in TV allowing it to pick up OTA channels).
Thanks tom, that makes sense. I would think it advantageous to have a tv with an antenna of some sort already built-in... I just wasn't sure if that was the case in this instance as the manual didn't really describe the built in antenna bit. In the case of the smart tv, I can pickup wifi and stream a good bit of channels and would really only need some of the basic OTA channels like cbs, abc, fox which would be great to have a built in antenna.

Realizing it's not a big deal to grab the rabbit ears and plug them in, I was hoping to find a similar smart tv to avoid drilling too many holes in walls and antenna installations should it become a permanent outdoor tv in the grilling area. I don't think manufacturers advertise TVs with built in tuners and antennas.
I am trying to understand whether or not antennas are absolutely necessary to pick up free over-the-air channels on TVs purchased in the last 5 years. I understand all TVs are now built in with digital tuners able to pick up OTA channels. I have an older 42" Vizio that's about 5 years old which actually picks up digital channels without an antenna attached... Which I thought was strange. I recently purchased a small smart TV thinking the tuner built inside (which it does have) may be able to do the same, but I of course need to attach the antenna on it to receive OTA channels on it. After quite a bit of searching, I can't really find a good explanation why the Vizio can pick up OTA channels without the antenna. Anyone able to educate me on this (antenna built in)?

For clarity, we live about 22miles from the local TV stations, so the theory of the Vizio TV without antenna catching a strong signal by proximity is probably out the window.

Cool... Was thinking 6 or 8. I also saw tactics had decent reviews.

I'm playing through 9 at the moment and on the last disc... it's ok. I'm with you on 4, mostly nostalgia. Enjoyed it and the story. Regarding 7, I played it for the first time last year, so perhaps the hype and playing it years after release had something to do with it not being my favorite. I think I'd rank the ones I've played something like this: 4, 10, 7, and 9. I might have one more in me, any recommendations on which should be next up in the queue?

re: PS4: Da Clan

Now that most of you have had it for a while, is the ps4 that much more impressive than 3? Still debating pulling the trigger or waiting till games/features catch up.
I did see some of the apps are still available for ps4, including amazon prime and others... And oddly, a lot of excitement surrounding Indian flicks app on here I believe. Maybe if the Indians are that good, I'll spend the 400 down the road.
Gotcha... Thanks eb. Might wait a few on the reviews before biting the bullet. My 2y/o has discovered amazon prime has every bob the builder and Thomas episode known to man, so it's really become a gloried pbs streamer in our home anyway...
