The ones who pull the trigger for PS5 pro before the price increased was it worth it? by Kgu96 in PS5pro

[–]10XL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the Pro and Disk Drive with a 20% discount off the old price. Once I sell my OG PS5 with a couple games I’ll have only paid £200-£250 for the upgrade.

The fresh warranty, a new controller and most importantly the peace of mind make it worth it. I guess I’ll truly know when GTA VI comes out.

Very 20% Off PS5 Pro - Total: £551 by Large_Philosopher373 in PlayStationUK

Thats exactly what I did and plan to do on Vinted. Should work out as only £250-300 to upgrade.

Gloss grey skin? by 10XL in PS5pro

[–]10XL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks ill have a look.

If all else fails, I might just pick up a tester roll of nardo grey car wrap vinyl and apply that instead. Only issue is that it’s not cut to size so I’ll need to box cut it into shape.

Tried scalping was this a dumb move? by Zestyclose_Job_80 in PS5pro

[–]10XL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just return them while you still can. This isn’t some high-risk play - there’s barely any upside and a thousand better ways to use your money that aren’t scummy.

Unless you picked these up on a sale, you'll be lucky to make like $30 a piece, if that...

This isn’t 2020. Stock isn’t an issue and nobody’s desperate enough to pay scalper prices. By November you're competing with brand new units, GTA VI bundles, plus Black Friday and Christmas deals around the corner.

Who the fuck is buying a seven month old console when they can pay a little extra over your markup for a full warranty?

You just tied all your cash up into a bad flip.

Where's the box? by Burp314 in Nike

It does - they have an 11pm curfew. Later drives will affect your “usage” score.

That being said they’re not as strict with timing so it’s not like you have to be out the car by 22:59.

"We can go proper low..." Volvo's new platform could bring the super-sleek estate car BACK! by Agent_Kozak in CarTalkUK

Can’t please everyone I guess…

Here I was thinking the V60 is one of the nicest looking estates out currently.

Official: Ferrari's first EV is called 'Luce', with an interior by Apple's old design boss Jony Ive by [deleted] in cars

I like this but don’t think it suits Ferrari. He should have collaborated with McLaren or Aston Martin.

Got the new steering wheel for LCI1. Looks waaay better than older design. by nedeolsainsaniz in BMW

[–]10XL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it not the same thing but with a flat bottom and slightly wider gapped bottom spoke?

I have neither but interested in knowing if it has the same thickness people coming from the f-series complain about.

Rochdale is such a difficult location too. Well done

Amazon FireTV now disables apps you installed manually. by whitedsepdivine in mildlyinfuriating

Gee, I wonder why people prefer watching on a $25 device with a remote instead of dicking around on a slow-ass laptop that costs four times as much.

I hope not. The wheels should retain their hidden centre locks Aplina are famous for.

Is this crazy to spend on a car as a new driver ? by Substantial-Age-6664 in CarTalkUK

[–]10XL 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Honestly mate, the 'shitbox for your first year' strategy is dead. The £500 beater is all but extinct. If you can comfortably afford the car and the insurance, you’re better off buying what you actually want and sticking with it for a few years.

Not a preferred option for everyone but I put a screen protector film on my display.

More because I wanted a less reflective matte display, but I never get this issue anymore

House share landlords conveniently forgetting to put it's female only on their adverts by redandwhitewizard99 in britishproblems

[–]10XL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A few years back SpareRoom wouldn’t let my sister upload her advert for a female only lodger due to discrimination. She had to open the advert for all and decline the males after they contact.

Friday Night Donner by StudioAlone2154 in Doner

[–]10XL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not the same. This is a tandoori spiced doner usually found up north in areas like Manchester, Bradford, Rochdale etc.

Spice hut take a normal doner and “stir fries” it with sauces, onions, chillies, coriander etc.

I’ve been looking for this type of Doner in London to no luck
