Oh they're only up to like 9:30am 9/17 based on the community spreadsheet. I hit the notify button on 10/5 as well, I'm not counting on getting it before cyberpunk even with the delay. Hell at this rate I doubt I'll get it this year. nvidia isn't going to own up to the crappy production...

How is having the flexibility to display the content in a manner you prefer a "crutch"? This is coming off like grumpy old boomer nonsense where people have failed to catch on that regardless of what they think the industry for the most part moved past them 10+ years ago. Hell, I find the idea...

Do you only have one display?

I'm sure you've see the famicom cartridges. If I were to take a blind guess, it's because the NES cartridges had more room for the dev board someone wanted to use and it's not like they wouldn't have had easy access to them to gut one to use as a shell.

Ugh, had a killer NIC on a board ages ago and hated it for similar reasons to what exlink mentioned above.

Damn. Was excited till I saw newegg, then as expected from a random seller. But I suppose that's been an issue for years trying to find deals on HGST drives.

No. Because preordering doesn't accomplish anything except throwing away money at something sight unseen. Wait until the game has been out at least a couple of days to make sure you're not buying a dumpster fire.

Well... According to various sources we cut down around 15-25 million trees a year just as christmas trees in the US. https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-many-christmas-trees-do-we-chop-down-each-year-11575032401 https://realchristmastrees.org/dnn/Education/Quick-Tree-Facts There's likely other...

Sure, there's some occasional nostalgia for $20-$30 that sells. But much like how questionable it is that nostalgia is going to sell a $350+ console, and that's at least a product that people could consider within the same category that people have some mild nostalgia for... do you really think...
