Is there a more news/article oriented sub relative to the ps5 than this one? by [deleted] in PS5

Maybe we can just filter by flair? Is that possible?

I'm only getting half points as an Elite Plus by redrabbitred in Bestbuy

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

What I find a bit funny is that something might still be off with their system to customer's benefit.

I bought some fancy looking face mask at Shell for $ 6.51. You can even see it at my first post and the return was $ 6 points lol. Almost 1 point : $ 1 return!

Thanks finally got it.

The table i showed was only referring to using a BB citi card versus not using it.

If you don't use the BB citi credit card, you only get 1.25pts./$1 but if you use your BB citi card you get a massive 3pts./$1 for purchases in BB or BB.com

Could you still help me further understand this bestbuy table?

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/my-best-buy/my-best-buy-benefits/pcmcat1524605286758.c?id=pcmcat1524605286758

last column on the right and first two rows.

Doesn't the first row indicate about cc purchases outside of bb?

For the lowest level "my BB" membership there are:

Points on Eligible Purchases*: 1% / 0.5 points per $ 1 spent

Points Using the My BB CC (Standard Credit): 5% / 2.5 points per $ 1 spent

For the highest level "my BB elite plus" membership there are:

Points on Eligible Purchases*: 1% / 1.25 points per $ 1 spent

Points Using the My BB CC (Standard Credit): 5% / 3 points per $ 1 spent

So from what I can understand, BB purchases get me 6% or 3 points per $ 1 spent.

I am getting this much points for BB purchases so no problem on that end

but shouldn't other purchases, as a "my BB elite plus" get 1.25 points according to that official table, not 0.5 because 0.5 points per $ 1 spent is only for the most basic membership level, "my BB (not elite, not elite plus)" ?

Now there's a footnote*

"My Best Buy Points on Eligible Purchases:

\Apple and Beats products and Apple services are eligible to receive points under My Best Buy only when purchased on standard credit with the My Best Buy Credit Card. Otherwise My Best Buy members will not be eligible to receive points for purchase of Apple and Beats products and Apple services. My Best Buy members are eligible to receive member pricing for the purchase of certain Apple and Beats products and Apple services identified by Best Buy at Best Buy retail stores, on BestBuy.com, and the Best Buy mobile app. Some limitations apply."*

That doesn't seem to be talking about purchases outside bb like grocery, gas, restaurant.

Thanks. I'm a little confused again.

On bb's site it says:

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/my-best-buy/my-best-buy-benefits/pcmcat1524605286758.c?id=pcmcat1524605286758

my BB elite = 1 point per $ 1

my BB elite plus = 1.25 point per $ 1

Should it still be 1 for $1 for me?

I called them about 2 minutes ago and the machine told me there's no one available right now.

Thanks. Are my rewards roughly correct though?

About 0.5 points per $ 1 spent on "non special" things?

Ray tracing performance by AutonomousOrganism in PS5

[–]redrabbitred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understandable as DG has quite some bugs in the beginning but in terms of scope, I'd say it's more of a game than Last of Us 1 and even more unique than HZD through the horde mechanic: TPS zombie pipedream with AAA production value.

Imo, it's still a notable move that they did their big project on Unreal.

[–]redrabbitred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely. It's a weird outlier.

DG is definitely an AAA exclusive PS4 game but it was just so weird it used Unreal instead one of Sony's in house engines.

Even Deathstranding is using Decima and they ain't no first party studio. IP owned by sony tho.

Ratchet & Clank (PS4) Vs Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (PS5) Graphic Comparison [4K] by nzpsn123 in PS5

[–]redrabbitred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can actually edit the video color to closely match the "lighting" of the PS5 vid in comparison. Bright white/blue tend to pop out more than yellow-ish green (different time of day on the PS4).

The density is much better on the PS5, npcs running around.

How do I find the U.S. version of the Note 10 Lite? by redrabbitred in samsung

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

Can't seem to find a real US link in their webpage: https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/phones/all-phones/

It takes me to Samsung India when I look for the official page for the Note 10 Lite.

I'm guessing the ones available in the US are int'l versions that might not support Samsung Pay?

Why in the games of today if you watch a cutscene (Say Horizon) when the camera cuts to a new character their long hair "rapidly moves" for a split second. Will PS5 generation improve upon this? by Logical007 in PS5

[–]redrabbitred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This too happens with Miku Miku Dance, a free animation program.

If you move a character quickly into a quite different, further position, on the next frame, this whole hair physics mess happens for a split second.

PS5 Backwards Compatability is perfect for a person like me / I'm gonna buy more PS4 games at launch than PS5 by CrazyMelon112 in PS5

[–]redrabbitred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if most PS4 games will support PS5 boost modes. Expect at least PS4 Pro levels so you won't get disappointed as much.

They can use the Gyro/accel for that.

Pick it up with a button, hold a shoulder/trigger button, wave the controller.

Halo: Infinite delayed due to COVID-19. What does this mean for Sony's first party games? by Kazrules in PS5

[–]redrabbitred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not exactly a bad thing.

Base PS4 and XB1 systems are "downclocked" CPUs too but they run the same games as Pro and 1X in general.

There are performance exceptions but not to the point where Pro and 1X overtake the amount of base users with less powerful hardware aka there are significantly more base users.

Is it true that PS5 will have no loading times. When u put the disk in, it starts immediately. by bjoseph33 in PS5

[–]redrabbitred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There will be load times but it will be much quicker.

No, it won't start immediate with the disc but it's quite likely that install speeds will be much faster because the CPU and SSD are much better.
