If it reaches the final delivery station, you can have them deliver it the same day if you ask. That's what I did yesterday. Better Sunday that sitting behind that thing on a work day

Maybe don't merge it, because that has the full Southie crowd. Unless we want to turn this into an all inclusive southie thread

Yea, it takes almost 2 days to get here. Probably by road

Nothing that I've noticed in the past 10 years of using receivers, but then I don't play any multiplayer so I'm very sure if there's any there. Coincidentally, there was a video on LTT yesterday on this, and they didn't find any input lag at all with a Sony receiver. The quality will depend on the receiver you pick, but the sound you get out of a 5.1.2 setup (or higher) with 150+W per channel is really satisfying And it's true directional surround if you set the cabling in your room up so you can place the rear channel speakers at the back of the room. Soundbars simulate, but it just isn't the same. Again, just make sure you look at a good model. And hold until there are some good HDMI 2.1 receivers available locally.

Just got mine right now!

Makes sense. Plus the AVR can't do full 2.1 anyway, so probably a project for later

This is super helpful, thanks man! I'll look that model up. Mine's a HB1125, which probably isn't the best. Getting this sorted might eliminate the need for a UPS. Also, I hope those rapid power cuts aren't a frequent thing

This, for both consoles. Or for anything launched in 2020. I still haven't been able to get my hands on a 3070FE :/

Nice! What TV are you on? A thought, but it might be more efficient if you hook the consoles straight to the TV if it's a recent one (with HDMI 2.1 features), and get the audio back to the receiver via ARC or eARC. You'll lose out on all the HDMI 2.1 goodness if you go through a non-HDMI 2.1 AVR.

That too!

I'm out of reactions for today. Congrats What model Yamaha A/V is that? I have an Onkyo myself. It's usually soundbars round these parts, so this is a nice change. Passthrough audio via ARC or are you using optical?

Yea, I'm guessing 2022 for the C series. They'll charge a premium for it in the meantime and make some easy early adopter money

@Shantz had his ship one day before the rest of us, though. I'm guessing we'll all get it tomorrow.

Not so sure. I think LG said at CES that only the G1 gets the new brighter display. The lower models probably don't, but that's just me from memory.

What's the party limit on Sea of Thieves? Is it just 4?

Welcome The last we heard, there was a restock due in in time for the PS5 launch. Not sure if that ever happened, though. @Shantz has a telegram channel you can join for stock alerts. And tagging @HundredProofSam just in case he has any info.

@AtheK Yea, I think so. Looks like we have around 20 buyers here. Let's x5 that - does that mean they only sold a 100 overall in the south?

Yea, it's interesting if you compare system teardowns. The Series X apparently has a lot of goop slathered all over the power supply PCB, but the PS5 doesn't. That goop could be what's working, but it's too early to say either way. This is a great channel is any of you are into DIY/tinkering.

How's it looking? It should've shipped by now.

I have a Microtek too. Causes restarts based on load, so not ideal. Are you using it in UPS mode? Apparently that's a thing :/ https://upsinverterinfo.com/computer-rebooting-problem-in-microtek-inverters.html https://www.peelonion.com/2019/08/what-is-difference-between-inverter.html

Not surprising at all, actually. The Xbox One S and One X were whisper quiet, so much so that I made it my go to system for blu rays and apps. My base PS4 on the other hand was like living next door to a dentist. We've see this before last gen.

Hmm, interesting. The PSN pages must be self-service for developers and publishers to populate and publish listings, but my assumption was/is that because the game is first party, Sony must have a central team that handles store publishing - both for consistency and cost.

It's a Sony issue, nothing to do with Insomniac. Probably just need to "unlock" the EU discs for use on other-region PSN accounts.

I think this this is essentially it, and a similar issue with the PS5 version with respect to the UE upgrade . IN PSN doesn't recognize either the PS4 or PS5 discs. To sum up: 1. No free PS5 upgrade available with the locally sold PS4 disc 2. No Ultimate Edition upgrade available with the locally sold PS5 disc

I suppose the main reason anyone would look at a UPS at all is because of inverter switchover delay. It's really annoying, and happens randomly for some reason. Are there any inverters that don't have this delay? @Shantz @Bird Bird Bird or @kunjanp?
