    I already posted these way and the beginning of the thread when the 4k was annouced, these are not from the 4k film but from publicity pictures. quote from owner:

    Nice! I'm still waiting for my limited edition (with the 300 page script) Still hasn't shipped and may have to get the regular edition if the seller falls through. Can't wait.

    Steve call nvidia a dik lol... damn for less than a 5080 card, get a whole desktop (in stock at the time of posting) put in a cheap stick of ram and it's good.
  5. davidwhangchoi
    yeah, though the ps5 won't play CD's or DVD's.
  6. davidwhangchoi
    wait... that's incorrect. ps5 plays UHD blu rays and does 4k.

    That's actually the max specs for 2024 model (RTX 4070 mobile OLED on a G14), Unless, you're in the hurry, I'd honestly wait for the reviews of the 2025 G14 with the 5070 Ti, as i don't think the 2024 model will sell out and will still be available and perhaps even lower than the current price. However if goes down close to 1k, i'd grab it. Factoring in potential delays, potential tariffs you may see the laptop March/April possibly early May. there was a g16 with a 4080 for 1399 or less but didn't have OLED so i didn't ping you. here's a g16 4070 OLED for 1479 bestbuy (intel) Open-Boxes [bestbuy.com] also available: Excellent - $1283.99 Good - $1238.99 Fair - $1198.99 and G14 OLED 4070 open box for excellent $1470 - fair $1371 (AMD AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS) https://www.bestbuy.com/product/asus-rog-zephyrus-g14-14-oled-3k-120hz-gaming-laptop-amd-ryzen-9-8945hs-32gb-lpddr5x-nvidia-geforce-rtx-4070-1tb-ssd-platinum-white/6570271/openbox?condition=fair

    definitely the FE's were paper launch. 5090 any model no chance to get at all. the 5080's had a bit more and took about 1 min to sell out. I had the 5080 gigbyte windforce the goes for 999 in my cart at newegg 3 separate times during the multiple restocks and was able get through to final payment checkout stage. (i didn't buy it though, just wanted to see if i could check out) There were a few 5080's priced at 1150 - 1200 on newegg that sat for 20 mins while people were fighting over the 999 cards but are gone now once they realized the 999 cards sold out. i don't think the 5080 is a great card and given if there any kind of decent supply restock it'll be around like the 4080 super launch. 5090 though.... instagone.

    go go go! edit: sold out. 5080 was up for a good minute before going OOS

    [News] Compile Heart finally officially announces new STG "Zalesta", with M2 and D4 Enterprises involved. According to an interview with Famitsu.com , the game is inspired by the old Compile shoot-'em-up games "Zanac" and "Aleste." The teaser site states that "Aleste" is a registered trademark of M2 and "Zanac" is a registered trademark of D4 Enterprises, but it is likely that these notations are made because the game is influenced by both games.

    It's not the AIB's fault, Nvidia is forcing AIB partners hands because of the razor thin margins nvidia is imposing. Which is why EVGA dropped out all together from making GPU's. AIB's who are trying to survive and feeling the squeeze from Nvidia's tactics are forced make this offerings to overcharge in order to survive. Nvidia will print out very limited FE's card at msrp as a paper launch. Good luck anyone trying to get a FE 5080 5090 at msrp, there won't be many and we won't see them unless the 5080 flops hard. Given that the market for a used 4080 super is about 1,200 at the moment, Expect the 5080 to be about 1200-1300 at launch. With the tariffs looming over our head, I doubt it's going to be cheaper anytime soon, only with pricing going up making that Adorama pre build that was posted a good deal.

    What Arcadia needs next before any release... An official U.S. and international distributor. Like Bandai who brought bluefin, Arcadia needs to expand their distribution to overseas to increase sale and profit. It makes the most sense to take advantage of Macross finally being freed up in the West. I for one would like to have Arcadia officially being able to cover warranty issues like double left ankle errors or crack canopy's.

    The lag was expected. And nvidia's own charts showed it's a slight bump from the 40 series. I didn't want to steer anyone away from buying a new PC with a 50 series card since they may want to upgrade an old pc but it's pretty much the same as a 4080 super at the same price. With the inflated prices for the 50 series incoming it's not worth it. the 4080 itself was not a good buy... the 4080 super was pretty much a repackaged 4080 at a lower price point nvidia admitting they were too greedy and PC consumers are not as stupid as nvidia thought. the 5080 being the same power and price point of the 4080 super isn't going to move the needle. Everyone who drank nvidia marketing coolaid of the 5070 equals the 4090's performance B.S. believed the 5080 will surely surpass or match a 4090 and now coming back down to reality. at launch, the 5080 will be in shortage increasing scalpers and AIB's to raise prices on a not so great card. The only card that was worth it last gen was the 4090 as it was significantly stronger than the 3090 and it's reflected in the current market. the 5090 is worth it to resell if you can get your hands on it at it's close to the 4090's current 2k market price with AI being in demand. But as a gamer the 5090 is really not worth it.

    I'm personally excited to get this. I already know it's going to have a lot of pop with HDR and with the AI coloring enhancements. I already resigned myself to a picture with no grain and loss of detail due to the directors preference of the amount of DNR. definitely going to be exciting for the first few months as the Stars Wars had when they first came out in HD.

    Here's a guide highlighting the differences between NGBII, NGS, and NGII (xbox 360) https://gamerant.com/ninja-gaiden-2-sigma-black-comparison-difference-guide/ and a link to reddit review: Pros: Better graphics, higher fps and gore, if you have strong pc. Pretty good artstyle adaptation to ue5. Improved upgrading system Quetzalcotl boss is back They ported over the good bosses from sigma 2, sadly not statue bosses Girl stages are ported over, good imo Mentor difficulty is unlocked from the start No icindiary shuriken spam, but that might be a con. Could have found a good balance. Cons: Same amount of enemies as sigma but easier to kill. This instead of ninja gaiden 2 enemy count. Removal of budha and liberty statue boss No giant skull worm boss in chapter 9 Cant run on water against water dragon in chapter 6, stuck with lame sit on pillar and shot arrows boss no windmill shuriken, kept sigma 2 archery system Same costumes as in sigma 2 No new weapon or addition.

    The great thing is there has been a bit more talk about Macross in some of the forums i'm in that never talked about it since it's been released in NA on Hulu. I'm glad Macross is accessible to more people and there's more interest. For those wondering about the delayed subs in certain episodes through Hulu, *not all series has an issue. It seems to be a problem on Hulu on another anime I checked, so it isn't exclusive to Macross. A few episodes of Gundam Wing (TV Series) on Hulu has out of sync subs. while some of the episodes have no issues. (double checked streaming off my laptop and TV so it's not hardware related). I'll live with it.

    looks like NGBII is mostly a facelift

    i checked my amazon pre-orders today of the tread and legioss and noticed pre-orders are no longer available on Amazon. glad i got the low prices locked in before they closed.
  23. davidwhangchoi
    Overseas, that's a very positive sign.

    the 5090 card is the only one worth it... to scalp to the AI crowd. make some good money jk, with the looming threat of tariffs, i'll be surprised if the 5080 and 90 cards doesn't go 50-100% above the FE's. i'm going to have to hold out a bit to build desktop with a nvidia 5080 or 90 card

    i like the design and ports for ps1 controllers
