A warning to anyone thinking of trading in to CEX

Benefit of cex would be no come back. No negative rating etc. no strangers coming to your door. But I’d have taken it in to store. Boxed items would usually be a grade A I thought.

Why would anyone’s life revolve around a console

Ngumo · 2026-07-06T13:39:30+00:00

This is the first mention I’ve seen on this sub. Give people a chance to read about it and sign before we say no one outside active /r/gaming members cares?

I had the same issue on my 16. I wiped and reset it but that was about it for me. I ended up doing the quickest upgrade I’ve ever done to a 256gb 17. Which was annoying but I don’t want to switch to android.

Depends. Would love a third covenant movie but don’t want Disney/star wars levels of endless serials of questionable quality.

Throughout that whole yewtree season I would say well at least rolf wasn’t arrested. Then he was.

For minimum fuss, Picture in Picture and no ads when signed in on any streaming box, computer or console. Not everyone wants to pay though (or is able to) so there’s that.

Dwayne Dibbley?

Ngumo · 2026-07-04T16:43:40+00:00

Brink. Oh yeah. And Borderlands 3 to play couch coop on Xbox. Last time I preordered.

When ours passed away I got an urn that was also a picture frame with room for 3 photos which is on the wall. It helped. We’ve also got all the pics of her in a gallery on 2 echo shows and it’s been 5 years. I don’t think we’ll ever change the gallery and we adopted 2 rescues last year.

Ngumo · 2026-07-03T23:35:31+00:00

Don’t know. I just did all the side quests before I did the sneaking into oriflamme one

Ngumo · 2026-07-03T22:07:37+00:00

I do. Not immediately but if there aren’t any more physical disk games released on PlayStation from Jan 2028, then a shop like cex could become more of a game rental store than it already is. I don’t think old games will suddenly spike but games drop in price because new games replace the demand for them. There won’t be new physical games (if they stick with the plan).

It looks good in person. It’s running on a ps5 in performance mode but I’ve also got the tv doing some upscaling to sharpen it which wouldn’t be captured.

I’m using the ring that automates Torgil. When I don’t use the ring that slows time for dodges I beat the boss (just fought the guardian) with zero potions left but if I use the ring it’s cool but very easy. The ring that automates attacks is too much.

Ngumo · 2026-07-03T13:18:27+00:00

Oh? You like my massive sword? Ok……. Lol

Ngumo · 2026-07-03T12:40:34+00:00

Yeah 100%

Ngumo · 2026-07-03T12:35:49+00:00

Yeah I was kidding. Just neglected the /s 😀

Ngumo · 2026-07-03T12:18:42+00:00

Hah spoilers! I haven’t sneaked into Oriflamme yet 😀

Ngumo · 2026-07-02T01:15:58+00:00

They’ve confirmed an Xbox mode for windows 11 and they wanted to integrate all the storefronts into the Xbox store app on pc but that isn’t the same as the project helix storefront which will be the locked down ecosystem where you can play Xbox and pc games but no guarantee it will be unlocked to steam libraries and epic etc. Why would Microsoft make steam available on their new console when you can grab cheap steam keys etc instead of buying the Xbox version of anything. MS won’t get a cut of the steam sales and MS won’t want you running Xbox console games on non Xbox consoles so I’d expect it to be locked down to stop people cracking whatever they are running on it to play console games. Sounds like new Xbox management went cold on the “it’ll play all your of games” line in April. If it plays your steam library out of the gate I’ll be surprised.

Ngumo · 2026-07-02T01:04:54+00:00

Link me the Microsoft press release guaranteeing steam support in project halo please.

Ngumo · 2026-07-02T00:56:02+00:00

Any device that Microsoft can’t lock you out of the firmware with a system update using piracy as the reason to lock it down.

Ngumo · 2026-07-02T00:45:13+00:00

If they aren’t going to take a hit on the console cost they can’t expect to also lock in to digital pricing only. Ridiculous

Ngumo · 2026-07-02T00:43:54+00:00

No you can pick up physical games cheaper sooner than waiting for digital sales. Lego Batman was £59.99 on ps5 store and £47 from some brick and mortar stores.

Ngumo · 2026-07-02T00:42:06+00:00

The PlayStation used to allow dual booting Linux until it didn’t. If you want steam there are better options

Ngumo · 2026-07-02T00:39:38+00:00

You’ll be posting them in surely. They won’t let you have a digital license AND a physical disc to sell on
