  • I don’t want one right now. Didn’t see any reason to buy it day one which is not like me, but finances are tight so I can’t really see splurging right now. My friend was all over it though and shockingly enough he said he was able to get it last night from Walmart after waiting in an online queue for 45 min and totally expected the worst.




  • So we pay them to do this to us? I stopped putting tv’s on the internet once I realized it offered me nothing useful. Firmware is about it and if that’s the case I’ll either usb it or put it on the internet for 5 min to do the update. Even then Samsung sucks so much with firmware the release notes for every single update are “bug fixes and improvements”… thanks Samsung.

    If I am forced to put it online or it comes up with a way to phone home on its own, I am done buying those kinds of tv’s, and I’m sure some other brand will offer one that doesn’t, even if it isn’t the best one to buy.











  • I think it definitely will. The only reason they do this is for money. How will they make money off a game where it’s only sold to the limited amount of people who get a switch. By allowing a low end version to be sold to switch they now have the potential to sell to 100 million people instead of the possible 2 million it sells in it’s first few months.

    And they are also right that it will phase out over time as the switch 2 starts to take market share but that will be years. I’m pretty sure the ps4 still has games coming out. My guess is just like the ps4/ps5 versions there will be 2 available on the cart or whenever you download from the store.





  • I actually keep them (minus appliance stuff because I just find them online and download the pdf and never found them that important) in a fireproof safe. Honestly, it’s not a lot of stuff, and so the safe is really small. It didn’t cost much at all but you do have to replace it like every 10ish years since fireproof doesn’t last forever.
