Yeah disc version still feel the right way for me. I don't why though as I'm quite happy to have Steam on PC and don't even question it.


PC games on Steam get crazy discounts more often so that's understandable. Console games digital codes on amazon/gamestop very rarely get discounts, even have different pricing release time. Cyberpunk for Xbox is $49 physical disc, and $59 digital code. When the PS store or Xbox store starts a sale, usually the discounted games are more than a year old so I end up having already finished them.

There's discounts on digital codes but you have to look at other places besides amazon and gamestop.    CDKeys for example has Cyberpunk for the Xbox at €49.59, so yeah.   

 

*edit* Well, changing to currency to USD it does go up to $59, lol they're going with the exchange rate, or something else funky is going on.

I'll probably get both, but I'll wait for price drops, slim versions (hate having big consoles) and more games to come out. I have a big library of games which I haven't played. I still have to play Ghost of Tsushima, Spider Man, God of War, Detroit Become Human, Death Stranding on the PS4. Tomb Raider, Spyro on Xbox (But my Xbox One just broke down). 

 

I'm also planning on getting the disc based versions just because we never know when we may get a good offer on a game.

 

To the year's end I'm eyeing on CyberPunk

I'm having a hard time even figuring out what to buy. I don't really get deep into PS4 exclusives... so XBox seems obvious but I rarely play games on either unless I'm in the living room.

 

Also plan on building a gaming pc for the living room; so not sure I'll need a console outside of the exclusives.

I have just received my PS5 last week :)

I hope you enjoy it, what did you think of the Dualsense with Astrobot, I thought it was fantastic and hope more games use the triggers in a similar way?

It is generally great but I bought it early especially for cyberpunk 2077 and this game is a disaster. I was even thinking of a refund but when I realized that I am still in a lot better situation than those who are playing the game of PS4 or Xbox One, I changed my mind. I hope CDPR will release the full PS5 version as soon as possible so I can enjoy this game with huge potential to its max.

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
