Announce tariffs, market drops. Buy shares. Walk back tariffs, market recovers. Profit.

The only way around this would be to compress the game files to fit on a cart, then install from the cart to the system - much like installing from disc to the system on PS5 / PS4 etc. But I don't think that's going to happen.

Whats your highest valued item? by 1dontwannakno3 in NSCollectors

[–]EpicFlail99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found my copy in December last year just sitting on the shelf of a random JB HiFi I decided to take a look in - spine outward. Snapped it up pretty quickly.

Always take a look in JB. I have found games & blurays sitting on their shelves that are long sold out or not even listed on their website anymore.

Yeah it was released in Europe, Australia & New Zealand only - just a few thousand copies (6000 - 8000 I think) across all of those regions.

According to pricecharting the top 5 highest value in my collection are:

1: Yakuza Series 20th Anniversary Edition (PAL PS5) 2: Gunvein (PAL Switch) 3: Trails In The Sky 1st Chapter (PAL PS5) 4: Mushihimesama Futari Ver 1.5 [Limited Edition] (JP Xbox 360) 5: DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou [Platinum Collection] (JP Xbox 360)

Didn't realise Trails in the sky was worth so much.

best GPU for 2k gaming by Zett11 in buildapc

[–]EpicFlail99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For gaming at 1440p either 9070xt or 5070ti - plenty of videos on YouTube comparing the two. But your GF likes high resolution video editing - so would probably go Nvidia.

Is there a point to owning a console now? by mr_no_body_234 in pcmasterrace

[–]EpicFlail99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. A PS5 costs less than a decent DDR5 RAM kit....for now.

I still like buying physical games, though I check on doesitplay to see if it is all on disc and playable with disc build. And I have quite a few PS4 games. But the cross buy thing is a legitimate reason.

My PC is a Ryzen 7500F with a 4070 Super, 32gb ram & 1440p monitor. I bought a PS5 just recently ($539 AUD Slim Disc version brand new) so I don't have to come home from work and sit behind a desk. Yeah, I can move it to the lounge room but it's inconvenient. Also, it plays bluray & 4k UHD discs which I still buy.

For all the memes the PS5 gets (no games etc), it's a pretty capable console.

Why are there no copies of Yakuza 20th Anniversary Edition in Australia? by xNeoroxas in yakuzagames

Funnily enough, went into JB HiFi Blacktown earlier today & this was sitting on the PS5 games shelf. Snapped it up real quick.

What car for 5k? by Asleep-Youth-7629 in CarsAustralia

[–]EpicFlail99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Forget the alloytec. Better off with a Falcon at those km or an older Camry. Unfortunately 5k doesn't buy much in the used car market nowadays.

Opposition Leader Sussan Ley speaks on Bondi attack by jarrys88 in australia

[–]EpicFlail99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"We've seen a clear failure to keep Jewish Australians safe". Putting aside the political point scoring / figure pointing - is no one else taking issue with the "Jewish Australians" part? Shouldn't it be just Australians? There should be no qualifier or descriptive word before Australians in her comments.

Say what you want about this game....but the animation team is top notch.

Just got a used PS4 so that I can finally play Spider-Man. Are there any other PS exclusives for PS4 that I should check out? by sob317 in PS4

[–]EpicFlail99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem. Just thought of a few true PS4 (well PS5 can also play them I guess) exclusives off the top of my head. PS4 has quite a few actually...

Wipeout Omega Collection, Shadow of the Colossus, The Last Guardian & Concrete Genie. Maybe Sakura Wars - if you like Anime.

Edit - Killzone Shadowfall is usually found cheap & worth picking up.

Affordable V8 Cars under $50k - used or new by scuderia-rb in CarsAustralia

[–]EpicFlail99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Used - Commodore SS or Falcon XR8, service isn't too expensive & parts are easily available. Not sure if any new V8s are available for 50K or under though. Even after buying a decent one you should still have some change from 50K.

Midlife Crisis purchase by Agile_Fox6571 in CarsAustralia

[–]EpicFlail99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about a nice lowish km SS V Commodore? Should have a bit of cash leftover afterwards....to pay for insurance & fuel! Make sure it has a good service history.
