I guess it depends on your location. I’m in Russia, we only had a couple places list GPUs at retail prices, and they didn’t restock at all - every new shipment was backlogged for months (still is) after launch day due to the amount of orders they received. Cards appeared on local analogues to “ebay” daily though, and…

YouTube compression and monitor you view it on matters a ton though. On my 3440x1440 screen DLSS destroys image quality, I never use it unless absolutely required (like Cyberpunk 2077 running at 30 fps on a 3080 without it).

Eh, back in September it took me two months of checking multiple websites every few minutes on my PC and phone daily just to “luck out” with a 3080 that was 30% over retail.

Searching “dualshock 3 launch price” gets me a 2008 cnet article about it as the top result

Lol. I guess I just didn’t need that many controllers back then either - a couple along with the console were enough until the next generation.

So Dualshock 3 increased the price more than twice compared to Dualshock 2?

That’s fair, but I didn’t personally know anyone with non-official controllers for any Playstation, so I felt like they weren’t all that popular? I don’t know any actual statistics though.

Compared to what decade? PS3 controllers were $50 at launch, and Dualshock 5 is $70 now. I think DS2 cost about the same as Sixaxis, but even if a bit less, that’s 2x the price, not “5x”.

Part of the reason why I much preferred huge events with many companies, like E3. Shame these are going away.

Man. Is that considered a lot in one sitting? I have a pretty awful case of stress binging, so eating a few packs of gummies or candy along with whole packages of chocolate and multiple packs of chips is really nothing much in one go, so this was a bit shocking to me. Eating a gummy of that size probably wouldn’t even…

I don’t mind at all, was just curious what people found exciting about it.

Yeah, that’s actually an excellent point.

I’m not entirely sure why the game’s getting so much praise, it looks pretty unpolished to me based on both trailers I’ve seen. And the voice recognition system will definitely be barely functional. Even AAA games never use anything like that due to how hard it would be to pull off, I have zero faith in a indie title…

I think IC3PEAK would be a better example of popular counter-cultural music in Russia right now, especially with tens of their concerts shut down by police:

Did anyone else have a stroke reading the headline? I still can’t understand what it means. I’m not a native speaker though.

I’m not reading Dell’s release though, so I expect to see it mentioned here on Gizmodo as well.

No mention of refresh rate, guessing that means 60hz.

Would also be nice to teach them how to quickly tell the difference, though, because all too often people use that knowledge do dismiss actual, real stuff these days.

That’s the thing though, bad graphics and bad art direction go hand in hand. Indie games with beautiful art direction usually have fitting, clean graphics, even if there is nothing cutting-edge about them.

Eh, I’m pretty sure you are reaching there. Multiplayer in game is almost always completely separate from campaign thematically. People generally hate Nazis and modern terrorists, but playing as them online is basically the same as playing “the good guys”, you just change the skin. The difference in faction is only…
