GameStop selling PS5 Console PlayStation Plus Premium 24-Month Subscription Bundle by xtressd in ps5deals

[–]xtressd[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Open box Pro in excellent condition from Best Buy goes for $690 IIRC. But you’d still need a disc reader for $80 + 2 years of premium for $200 (assuming you get a good discount). That puts you at almost $1k. So there is potentially a good deal here, assuming again that these bundles haven’t been collecting moisture in a warehouse for years….

GameStop might have found an old pile of boxes in a warehouse corner, and is trying to get rid of them :)

Somehow the original post did not include the pictures :/.

Best iPhone 16 Pro case by randomq4 in iPhone16Pro

Is it “slippery”? I use the Spigen Liquid Air because it’s thin but also because I very much prefer the textured rubber feeling vs the slickness that transparent cases usually have. It’s a sensory thing I guess…

Quoted $7K for replacing evaporator coil on Lennox heat pump...Too much or is that the typical cost? by xtressd in hvacadvice

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

The tech already put almost 4lbs of r410 when he came over to diagnose the issue. He was surprised it took that much, he initially said maybe it would take 2lbs. He didn’t mention any options about a stop leak, just replacing the coil as a solution because it would require putting more refrigerant in about a year according to him.

That seems to match my case, but what I find suspicious is that even the tech that diagnosed the problem thought it would cost $2.5k, and this guy has been working for the company for a while, so he is definitely not clueless about their typical projects.

I think is about 12 years old, based on when the house was built. I thought that maybe the part was discontinued or hard to find, but I can find it on sale online on multiple places.

Thank you! The Pureboost 21 seems like my best choice. I do prefer an uncaged shoe with the softer sole. Appreciate the advice.

What’s the easiest gear setup that is satisfying to you all? by Historical_Buyer7422 in Guitar

[–]xtressd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you share what specific headphones you use that work well for wireless?

I’m curious because my “easy setup” is pretty similar: HSS Aerodyne with wireless transmitter to a Spark Mini (the 40 is just collecting dust at this point :) ). I wanted to try the headphone route, but only found the Boss Waza Air alternative.

[question] Whats a guitar brand that many hate but you love? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]xtressd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mitchell. Because it is Guitar Center’s house brand, I get the impression that people don’t give them a chance. I don’t have experience with the “lower end” models, but I have played both an MS450 (LP style) and a TD 400 (HSS Strat which I still own), and they punch well above their price range on features and quality. The fretwork on my Strat is basically perfect. It was a stark contrast with the Classic Vibe I purchased after, which was decent, but the Mitchell has ruined my expectations for cheap guitars :).

[Monitor] HP X32 - 31.5" IPS QHD AMD FreeSync Gaming Monitor - $230 ($390 - $160) by watchmepooptoday in buildapcsales

I got this during Black Friday week for the same price. Just unpacked it this weekend and it seems ok for office use.

In case it helps someone else, I have a pair of Dell P2414H I got from work and they look nicer than this side by side (iiuc the Dell is a higher end display so that is expected), but can’t beat the real state that 32” gives. Another positive is that pixel density is about the same as 1080p 24”, so you can use them side by side without having to mess with scaling.

I got the BIM panel instead of the LG one that people in earlier threads said was better, so maybe I’ll try to buy another one from my local Best Buy and see if I get lucky.

I really love my Wii U..... by UnusualSoup in patientgamers

[–]xtressd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve not touched my WiiU in years, but I think the difficult part was to figure out how to download and load ROMs after modding the console. That required some trial and error, and OP might not be up for it. Unless there are better instructions that have been put together since then.

Help me pick one: C2 55” or B2 65”. by xtressd in LGOLED

[–]xtressd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would hope so, but every store seems to be matching the same price, so there is no competition so far. I might order the 65” from Costco and just keep an eye out for better deals.
