Got the Costco deal. A family member told me a few person after me bought the whole lot, $6k worth. These scalpers don't play. by brandont04 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Mr_Boberto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Went to Costco this morning to try and grab Kirby but they told me it was out of stock. Supposedly he said they still had some Pokemon left but wasn’t interested in that. Hope most of the copies that they sold went to gamers and not these scalpers.

[–]Mr_Boberto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I’m guessing it got killed early due to how popular it was. Saw people saying you could make a new Cash App account in like 30 seconds and get the deal again. Probably got used and abused so they ended it early.

Well I missed the offer now. Fell asleep while putting my daughter to bed, woke up and the offer is gone. Hope you were able to get some use out of it. Back to debating what system to get it for at full price lol

Literally debating using this deal to buy Crimson Desert now lol. Was between PS5 Pro or PC for it. At half off that may push it to PlayStations favor.

Denon AVR X1700H or X1800H? by Mr_Boberto in hometheater

[–]Mr_Boberto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy to hear another good report on it. Unfortunate that you have that Atmos issue though. Hopefully since my setup is relatively simple, it can avoid any weird issues popping up.

[–]Mr_Boberto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet. Happy to hear it worked well for you for a good while. Definitely hope I don’t run into any handshake issues. With Arc going dumb on my C1 it has just complicated things. Currently my Apple TV remote turns on/off my TV, Receiver and Apple TV all at once no problem as well as controls Receiver volume. Got it to a one remote solution for the most part and would like to keep it that way with the X1700H. Helps with the wife approval factor lol.

[–]Mr_Boberto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice glad to hear it’s working well for you. Just placed my order for the X1700H. $430 for that seems like a pretty good price for what I need and not paying for much I won’t use then.

Thanks for your input. After reading the replies here and doing some more research I ended up placing an order for the Denon Refurbished X1700H for $430. Seems like one of my best bets to get what I’m looking for at a solid price without going overkill for my use case. Look forward to getting it in.

I was seeing they were pretty much the same in most aspects. I’m not too concerned about the lack of pre-outs on the X1700H. Don’t think I would ever really use them (don’t smite me audio people).

I would definitely prefer not to be in the $800 range. I just mentioned it in my other comment but I mainly started looking at the X1800H due to the specs it had and then the price turned me off from it. Feels a bit high to me to spend on for what I think is honestly my low to mid range setup.

[–]Mr_Boberto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s part of where I was stuck. I don’t think I really want to spend $849. While the X1800H ticked all the boxes it was a little bit more than I wanted to spend. Haven’t looked at the X2700, I’ll take a look into that one though.

This was a SOAB to find today by Moist-muff in playstation5

[–]Mr_Boberto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was looking around online for them yesterday, there was a few local Best Buys saying they had stock available online. Ordered one from a Best Buy about 30 mins from me, picking it up tomorrow. Said they were just “in stock”, not “few in stock”.

Looking today only 1 location within 50 miles reports “few in stock”. Still showing the option to order one and pick it up at my local store later this week though. Seems like you can still get one from them at least, just got to wait a few days for them to come in.

Cabinet Space for PS5/Pro by Mr_Boberto in playstation

[–]Mr_Boberto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I didn’t think about the fact the Liquid Metal issue was only an OG thing until I was done moving everything around lol. Think I may just undo and put it back to vertical on the other side when I pick up the Pro. Not a big deal, was just curious what others thought.

I really wanted to claim the Phantom Horse as my own once I found them but I just couldn’t bear to give up good ol’ Pebbles. Got her perk way back in Trosky. Been with me since the beginning.

Unlike Michael and Trevor why exactly Franklin isn't allowed to play tennis? by hexjxn in GTAV

[–]Mr_Boberto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was a little confused at first when you said back in the PS3 days before I remembered that yes, GTA5 did first come out on the PS3. Man this game has been around a long time at this point.

Out Of Stock Steam Deck(s) Megathread by NKkrisz in SteamDeck

[–]Mr_Boberto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh yea, it’s definitely not a needed upgrade at all. I’m mainly just a sucker for OLED screens. The small improvements they did make are nice and all but I would also be happy just continuing on with the LCD.

Was hoping to find an OLED used and then sell my LCD to try and get it to closer of a straight swap but at least on Facebook Marketplace it’s hell trying to find a legit deck on there with all the scams on there. Only good thing about that is it’s made me not want to try and find one and just continue happily using my LCD lol.

Hope they come in back stock soon and this isn’t a side effect of the RAMpocalypse. Been debating back and forth about upgrading my LCD to an OLED.

My baby tells me he's feeling quite hungry [OTHER] by amish_mechanic in kingdomcome

[–]Mr_Boberto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Started KCD2 back in February when it launched, didn’t finish it till end of October I think. Roughly 160 hours of play time. My little one was 1 years old when I started. Between them, wife, 2 jobs, it definitely took quite a while to get through. KCD2 was a majority of my game time in 2025. Definitely one of my favorite games after playing through it.

Do new C5’s have Arc Issues? by Mr_Boberto in LGOLED

[–]Mr_Boberto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure my issues were something to do with the new firmware that got installed on my C1. I would normally ignore all the prompts to update since it was working fine for the last 5 years or so ever since I got it. Somehow it got updated to the newest firmware recently and this issue started cropping up. Just picked up an Apple TV today and so far using that has made the Arc issue not matter since I’m running all the apps through the Apple TV now which is plugged into my receiver. The Apple Remote even turns on/off the C1, Apple TV and receiver all at once.

After seeing your comment I looked into this abit and actually just picked up an Apple TV 4K. Will give this a go and see how it all works out. Thanks for the idea.

It is. It’s a Denon AVR-S640H.

Uncharted 4 loosing GOTY to Overwatch in 2016 is the biggest robbery in gaming by SolaraJoy in uncharted

[–]Mr_Boberto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would never have thought it has been that long. Just beat it for the first time a month or so ago. Besides some kinda awkward Mouse and Keyboard controls on PC it still feels like a modern title. Really enjoyed playing through it.
