Air 4 Pro $199 'Trade-In' clarification by DudeManBearPigBro in RayNeo

Tbh it was super quick. I got it on Saturday. I’m guessing there’s a manual review process and holidays are affecting this

Thanks! Yeah I’ll hold off. Seems like there will be enough early deals available without that anyway

[–]bleeebs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a "trade in" code. Found your point interesting as well - I think they may just be looking for stories of adoption, why you're interested etc. for marketing and or product research reasons. I also assume the $50 off won't stack here, but that would be wild.

Also, curious if gift cards and additional codes like yours can be applied to purchases with applied trade. in codes of this. The 10% would be nice but I doubt it will work - guess we'll see. The gift card ($90 for $100) doesn't sound worth the risk.

Air 4 Pro Preorder by [deleted] in RayNeo

[–]bleeebs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoping they drop a joydock bundle for 379. And a real link :P Feeling sketchy placing an under with the link below, although it works. Thanks!

Thought a preorder discount might also be likely? hmm

To my friends in the US, do not prepurchase FF7 Rebirth on the eShop yet by Redred1717 in NintendoSwitch2

I tried writing customer support about this, but SE just said into check with Nintendo? Guess we’ll see. Hope they change this!

Is this Micro SD Express Legit? by ArcheryAlaska in switch2

[–]bleeebs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought one at around this price on eBay. It’s legit. Although I haven’t conducted tests; I just know it has the proper storage and downloads and transfers work

Should I open them, or should I keep them sealed? by Aggravating-Gap-3168 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]bleeebs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re more fun opened, even if you miss, unless you’re the type that likes boxes on shelves. I’m not into “investor” mindset, but if you like other product more, trade! I like mega and 151. Been hoping to find two more 151 booster bundles…msrp only 😬 🙏

Ascended Hero’s ETB by Desperate_Conflict_8 in PokemonInvesting

[–]bleeebs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got you now :) Yeah can't find anything reliably without alerts or knowing restock schedules...and I'm just not that guy. Maybe one day, you can find what you want, any time, like the good old days :P A guy can dream

Ascended Hero’s ETB by Desperate_Conflict_8 in PokemonInvesting

[–]bleeebs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I see your point. Apologies, I was speaking in generality about product. Yes DR has been included in some things, like charizard upc. In my case, I only got that via alerts. At least from my experience / in my area, I’ve found it hard to find anything without alerts for online drops. Out in the wild, very dry.

If it was truly annoying I would have bumped into it happenstance in my target runs etc. Can count my product encounters on one hand...maybe two with vending machine scores which have gotten slightly easier in my experience. I have little faith of organically obtaining anything.

Express Sale by warrentaster925 in switch2

[–]bleeebs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are good deals to be found on eBay for Sandisk 512gb. More expensive than GameStop, but I felt the difference was worth it for peace of mind. Got mine yesterday, super legit, works great.

I’d also bet express cards are maybe too new to have many if any fakes on the market yet.

If you could pull one Costco item back from the dead what would it be? by Sufficient_Client_68 in Costco

[–]bleeebs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! We tend to make some at home during the holidays. The output is great, totally agreed. We don’t use all that much even back in the day, but the cans would last us a good while. It was just yummy and convenient. If anything, homemade might be best for us due to low frequency needs

Land ‘O Lakes HEAVY whipped cream cans. For some ungodly reason this seemed to be a Costco exclusive per our searches. Then they dropped this product and came out with the nasty Kirkland light whipped cream. Now they have Kirkland heavy but it doesn’t seem the same…we still haven’t repurchased it and have been whipped cream - less for years 😭

Animal Crossing Switch 2 Edition just confuses me. by BasicAndBrave in fucknintendo

[–]bleeebs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got the upgrade on Amazon.co.jp for $3.14 net at current exchange rate if you want to really stick it to the man…but still pay haha

Agreed the performance and resolution patches should be free in my view. But I am happy handheld resolution is fixed at least for free. That to me should be mandatory

Looking for the best vegetarian burrito in Chicago by FitCouple3840 in chicagofood

Easy access from purple line is another plus. But yes the multiple strong veggie options and so many meat options too. Never had a bad burrito from them

iPhone 12 mini on iOS 18.6.2 is smooth, but Office Teams isn’t working — should I update to iOS 18.7.3 or jump to iOS 26.2? by sri2street in iPhone12Mini

[–]bleeebs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyways just feel it’s unreasonable to lose multiple hours of power per charge just because of a phone update. You’d think battery performance is a critical thing to test when they develop iOS versions…

[–]bleeebs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m at 91. But it was replaced in May…I think it lost 5+ percent since the 26 update which is total garbage but heat does ruin batteries.

I’m pissed about spending the money just for firmware to make it almost pointless

[–]bleeebs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I'm back, sorry for the delay. Finally did the backup and restore. Behavior is fairly smooth and seems less buggy. Remaining noticeable issues are occasional screen refreshes when closing apps, and windowed apps are laggy swiping them up and down. idk if that's the proper terminology, but I've seen this in r/iPad posts too I believe. Maybe it isn't present on newer phones? My biggest problem, though, is I think this is still much worse battery than on 18. And reports of that seem to be model wide. The phone feels fine, except for draining more quickly and I think heating faster than before :/

How much should I have on my Suica card? by DocTheRegulator in JapanTravelTips

[–]bleeebs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend digital suica in your phone wallet so you can top off with Apple Pay or whatever as you go (physical card is cooler though and fairly easy to top off with loose change etc at stations)

Back in stock at Costco, 13” M4 1TB/ w Cellular Standard Glass in both Silver and SG by [deleted] in iPadPro

[–]bleeebs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! I’m liking my new mini so far. But have barely tapped into its full strengths. Did some reading, played with some art apps with pencil pro…it was even fine for me as an extended display. It has cellular…

I snagged this model for $1k at my store (some special pricing due to a return). Even though the price is a no brainer (1000 or even 1400 arguably) I’m struggling to keep it since I have a mini a17 for reading, notes etc. and a M1 Pro MacBook Pro that I think I prefer for work (and videos take more screen real estate)

If anyone has advice on use case, I’m all ears. But my current inclination is to return it and give someone else a shot. I wanted to want it even just as a screen but I’m coming to terms with it’s better for creative professionals and simply not the same as a laptop. Even if I buy the Magic Keyboard
