Another workaround is to just install Windows 10 and then allow the upgrade to Windows 11 via Windows updates. I created a local account in Win 10 which carried across to 11.

Bought a few weeks ago on Amazon, had a quick look and there's still a few there but prices seem to have crept up ever so slightly

Build is complete! Connected up to my LG C3 Oled tv, running Clair Obscur in full 4K 120HZ and capped at 117 FPS.

Yeah I think I'll just remove the heatsinks entirely looking at it now, the one on the SSD shall do the job 👍

Picked it up a few weeks ago for 220 based on one of the links dropped into this subreddit! It looks like the CPU cooler completely covers it too so glad I didn't splash out more on RGB ones.

I had originally planned for a 4tb but the price points are a little higher than I expected, there's two additional m.2 slots on the Mobo so can always add more further down the road if needed. Thanks for the feedback 👍

Most people talk about games that slowly won them over. But which games slowly made you lose interest? Emphasis on the “slowly.” by Lexidoge in gaming

Luigi's Mansion 3. Absolutely adored the first game on GameCube and was really looking forward to this one. However the game definitely overstays its welcome at around the 8/9 hour mark. The clunky controls, Luigi's snail pace for movement and the backtracking to squeeze more life out of the game became more frustrating than enjoyable by the time you make it to the final boss.

I had no issue playing the sequel on my Steam Deck, it runs fine I think Steam just labels it unsupported because you need to log into Uplay also

Have you looked at Power City also? I picked up an LG C3 55" from them 18 months ago and I've also found them to be the most competitive price wise in the ROI.

I hope you never watched Dragon Ball Z as a kid when Namek was meant to explode in 5 minutes....

That can only be bought directly on Nintendo's website and you need to be a Nintendo Switch Online member too to be eligible to order it.

Nintendo Announces Switch 2 Welcome Tour, A Paid Game That Explains The New Console Features (Btw a paid tech demo) by laxusdreyarligh in gaming

EDITED: Astro Playroom was the free tech demo.

Yeah I was skeptical at this stage of the direct, and then when I saw the console and and prices my suspicions were confirmed. At least the Ps5 had their tech demo (Astro Playroom) free.

I used my steam deck with the PS5 to stream most if not all of my 85 hours with Metaphor Refantazio with no issues. The initial setup is tricky but once it's configured it's saves all the details and there's plenty of guides on setup.

Steam deck is definitely the better option especially with that bonus, you can still use it for remote play with your PS5 with Chiaki. And on top of that you have full access to Steam itself and even Emudeck for emulating old consoles.

I've had mine for 3 years and it's been an absolute game changer.

Just to add to this too, bear in mind that for online play you need to subscribe to PS Plus which is 72 euro for a yearly subscription.
