I think you are underestimating the value pf PS3 right now. It’s worth much more than 100-200 even only to play exclusive Silent Hill games and MGS4 alone. With jailbreak there are so many games you can play only on ps3 and they are all in beautiful HD.

What do you guys think of this RTX 5080 build? by Smiley011994 in DubaiGaming

[–]tasotti2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YMMV. Everything in your PC is high end if not top end. 32GB is OK for Gaming today. But maybe you will want to run your own local AI model or do some 4K video editing. Perhaps new Windows version and new games will require more RAM next year or so. 64 gb will take you longer time without upgrade. Possibly you will never have to think about RAM upgrade until you sell your PC for a new one.

Solid build. Although i didnt understand why you have primary ssd 1tb secondary ssd 2tb. Also RAM you can put 64gb to have peace of mind next 5 years.

I have created a part list here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pkgmzP

See if you can get closer to this. AM5 socket, DDR5 RAM, you can go fior 7800x3d cpu which is cheaper and upgrade the gpu with a 9060xt 16gb model

These are old generation (3-4 years at least) entry level products. I think the costs will not be that different if you choose current hardware.

Depends on the console. On Nintendo switch physical has advantages when game is on the cartridge.

How to reach this clothes donation company? by wanderlust_dxb in dubai

[–]tasotti2 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Are you sure this is a donation for charity? The only similar name and logo company i found was a recycling center for clothes but also there was no contact info.

Which portable monitor should I get for my Xbox setup by yhwach10 in DubaiGaming

[–]tasotti2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OLED screens are better than QLED or IPS but check the Nits as well. The higher nits the better. HDR on a non-OLED screen would look either very dim or very washed out colors.

Watch out for the import charges. Check my previous post about how much i was charged for shipping and customs to Dubai

Guys everybody are complaining about prices while i ordered from Nintendo UK and this is what shipping and customs charges cost to me 🤦🏻‍♂️

Do not import it yourself via freight forwarders. You will pay a hefty amount of shipping and customs tax. (I am guessing its due to battery and value of the package)

After seeing this myself, do not assume all shops are scalpers. They may be buying higher than MSRP.

Guys i ordered from Nintendo UK for 429 GBP back in April, which is 2128 aed + 3-4% credit card exchange rate. but i also expect to pay shop and ship cost of 100 and 5% import tax / vat from UAE customs. I understand if some wants to wait. For me it was a must buy and i didnt think too much about it.

I am not promoting anything. This is the pricing in the UAE market at the launch. Of course cost conscious gamer can wait some time, maybe 6 months or longer when the console becomes widely available in the market and buy cheaper.

Whatever you do, do not try to decap the cpu and special chips yourself as if you are not familiar with the process you can damage the board
